Mine used to do this with roaches. Not even kidding.

Baby

Take off

Your coooool

I want to

Get to

Know yoooooooou

If that's what they were singing about, I'd guess this isn't all that weird.

Fair point, I actually mainly wore flip flops and preferred Reef and now ~~Ulukai~~ Olukai. Those checked almost all my boxes, though none of those give a firm enough platform compared to good walking shoes, so I shouldn't hold that point against Crocs.

Edit: I mixed up Olukai shoes with ~~Ukla~~ Uukha archery gear, oops.

Edit 2: I mixed up Uukha with Ookla. /facepalm

I had some and couldn't stand them. The material would pull my foot hair, and they reminded me of orange peanut candy. And the squishiness didn't feel foot-shaped, to me. It just felt like mush. I need arch support and a firm platform. So I hate on them because they strike me as foam toys rather than shoes.

Source code escrow is a thing, too. I've only seen it in the context of (as I understood it) protection against going out of business, but perhaps it could apply to discontinued products, as well?

That's what I thought of, at first. Interestingly, the judge went with the angle of the chatbot being part of their web site, and they're responsible for that info. When they tried to argue that the bot mentioned a link to a page with contradicting info, the judge said users can't be expected to check one part of the site against another part to determine which part is more accurate. Still works in favor of the common person, just a different approach than how I thought about it.

"Flipper Zero can't be used to hijack any car, specifically the ones produced after the 1990s, since their security systems have rolling codes," Flipper Devices COO Alex Kulagin told BleepingComputer.

"Also, it'd require actively blocking the signal from the owner to catch the original signal, which Flipper Zero's hardware is incapable of doing.

Just politicians trying to appear to be doing something so they can keep their jobs.

Many outlets' stock photos for their version of this story are of much, much heftier towers than what was actually stolen. CNN's story has what they attribute as a photo of the actual shack and the base of the tower. It's still a pretty amazing story, nonetheless.

This interpretation is valid. But I recently learned to see it a different way.

If you'll humor me, please consider this. Since Santa knows if you've been "bad or good," he knows the other reindeer have been bullies to poor Rudolph. And, while a red glowing nose is cool, it's not a useful fog light. It's just not.

So Santa "uh oh!" had an emergency where, for the first time ever, the fog was going to be too thick all over the world to deliver presents?

Nope, he set up Rudolph in a position to "lead" his peers in a situation that maybe needed a little help but was not, in any way, a true, worldwide magic-assed Santa emergency. Santa knew how to guide his reindeer to accept each other. The story of Rudolph was not about Rudolph doing something to prove himself. It was about recognizing a Rudolph in need and helping him rise to the occasion to bring him closer to his peers in a way that could heal division.

Rudolph isn't about how to triumph as a Rudolph. It's about how to be a good Santa.

(Edit: For everyone who already thought this was obvious in the story, thanks for letting this Rudolph have his epiphany anyway.)

"Lake Drunkies and Junkies" would've been more fun.

Have we given up pointing out that a billionaire's legal troubles are not technology?

Some evangelical pastors who regularly deliver sermons in support of school prayer have recently added a new twist — preaching that Christian traditions are needed in classrooms to stop children from identifying as transgender.

Or, in other words, without cult brainwashing, people might enjoy more freedom to be themselves.
