They can also add punitive damages. Didn't seem to be in this case BUT a meal marketed at children shouldn't cause scars.

With the coffee case had lots of damages for this. MacDonalds had been warned that they were serving coffee at dangerous temperatures, had 700 complaints but it was cheaper to pay compensation than fix.

They served the coffee at much higher temperatures than other establishments, so normally you'd have 12 seconds to wipe coffee off your skin but with MacDonalds it was 3 seconds, causing 3rd degree burns.

They lied saying it was done as people wanted to drink after driving for a long time but their surveys showed the opposite.

Thank you may look for some - added my failed experiment as an edit to my original.

If commuting, I take public transport so charge on last bit of journey before (or after work) if needed or a heavy phone day.

At home/weekends - whenever it drops and I have time.

Thank you. I will do some experiments and report back.

Report back: A) first findings are ther cross over between chemists and leather workers seems to be low.

B) Isopropyl alcohol seemed to make it set arder

C) Butane had a slightly better response but didn't really help enough - think it had gone to far to be saved.

So moved to new can and doubling leather making output it seems best options.

They do train LLMs on others. A fairly successful new tact has been to train them not on the output but on how the LLM got to the output. So teaching how to answer questions rather than answers by rote.

I can talk from a UK perspective.

Whilst investigating someone, the police should not normally release the name of the person because it could endanger their life or lead to disorder.

The media are free to name suspects BUT get it right or have the ever loving shit sued out of them. This is even as far as naming a small group of people.

Once charged, then police release the names, it becomes public knowledge. Where it's serious cases like rape or child abuse then it's often proactively released. This is because it helps gather evidence or get others to come forward.

When the Soviet Union imploded, they had 30,000 nuclear warheads dotted about in various states. People were predicting that they would be used then as well.

Food impacts behaviour of children. Their behaviour will impact on others in class.

Parents happily ship their kids off to school, and expect teachers to deal with their shitly raised kids, pumped full of crap food and having poor behaviour impact on others. Entitled parents then bitch about how it’s their rights to to do a bad job of raising their ~~property~~ children.

but also added a cup of Pringles as she didn’t consider it to be ‘unhealthy’.

This is for a 3 year old! How stupid is she? This kid is really going to benefit from home schooling, yet another future problem for society to pick up the pieces up.

60 is useful because it’s easily divided by lots of small numbers, 1,2,3,4,5 and 6, other factors include 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. This is why we can split our day so much.

The Babylonians popularised base 60. The origins of which were possibly derived from 2 separate groups in Mesopotamia, that started trade but one used base 12 and one base 5, multiply together to get 60.

You can count to 5 and 12 on one hand easily (12 by using thumb to count each section of your 4 finger). Using both hands you get to 60.

China also has counting to 10 on one hand, theory being you can indicate quantities with one hand full at a market.

There are a few reasons. Firstly it’s in their own interests to protect their people from huge climate change. Secondly renewables are cheaper than coal, without the same variability of supply (Australia had political falling out before and Russia may not be the very stable genius we think).

I've been slowly amending my most like comments (leaving the most downvoted). Yet to see any come back, maybe Reddit didn't value my top notch sarcasm Vs helping people with actually problems.

made lewd comments about his daughter Ivanka's appearance and talked about "what it might be like to have sex with her."

That is shocking! Always said stuff that sounded like he abused her as a child/teen/now.

When 16 hosting a teen pageant saying to the crowd "Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?"

Howard stern and saying she had the best body (2003)

Howard stern 2004, he said he regretted his previous inappropriate comments ... Oh no called her a "piece of ass".

2006 the view, "I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her"

2013, asked what he and Ivanka had in common, she said "real estate and golf", he said: a) "Good answe" or b) "Well, I was going to say sex but I can’t relate that". Well it wasn't answe a was it
