That's a big, oddly pressurized windshield-washer tank, but if it was the radiator it'd have a color to it (also more steam), so yeah, I guess so.

Probably late, but the LA Times has been doing a writeup of an incident that occurred back in 2011 that's just wrapping up now

http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-framed/

The gist is somewhat simple: The head of an elementary school PTA has drugs planted in her car by a pair of high powered lawyers. The resulting clusterfuck sees both lawyers convicted and disbarred.

The final part of it comes out on Sunday, which I'm hoping has the results of the civil case in which their family is utterly cratered.

looking up the actual results, the PTA lady was awarded 5.6 million dollars, but the article is well written and worth a look.

Holy poo poo, what the gently caress is wrong with those people?

That's a loving terrifying story of two lawyers who think they're loving god trying to destroy someone they see as a 'peasant' who dared to step on their shadows.

Also - those cops went above and beyond the call of duty on this one and a genuine thumbs up to them. Thorough as hell, drat.

The worst bit is if all police departments were this thorough the system would collapse and even more people wouldn't see justice than they do now due to a lack of resources.

It'd be interesting if you had to pay back a percentage of the resources spent persecuting if you earned over say $100,000 (or whatever) a year, kind of like the danish(?) speeding fines. That way courts have an incentive to go after the rich. Pipe dreams and all that.

The real freude for me about the whole Youtube thing is that it's not the end of Youtube. The same people kvetching about this are (by and large) still going to make videos, and if they don't, they'll be replaced by some other person who makes videos of themselves talking about poo poo, and they know it.

It's Bender claiming to go off and make his own theme park.

Like has been said it's no different from what already happens. It's the reason that 4chan at one time was losing money despite being so popular (I have no idea about now) or that when Jon Jones gets pissed and hits a pregnant woman with his car he loses sponsorship deals.

Yeah, but none of those have the mainstream pull of Youtube, and I don't think this is going to cause a mass migration. Content creators won't go there because they know their audience won't follow them, a comparative lack of an audience means content creators won't go there.

Another attempt at a Youtube With Blackjack And Hookers, for that matter, comes to mind: Blip. Sure, it was great for people who wanted to use people's stuff without paying for it nostalgic movie critics, but people went for them and didn't watch anything else.

E: vvv I have never came close, much less "literally nearly killed myself", due to eating a hot dog. You must have me mistaken for someone else, or can't read. Either way, it's schadenfreude for me.

I'm in the hospital because while eating my first bite of a hotdog, a bit of it fell down my food pipe. Said food pipe decided to clamp down on that nugget of food, so there's a good chance I'll have to be knocked out and be fished around inside.

Double freude points for this same thing happening maybe four years ago. Same food, same effect, same possible result.

I'm assuming food pipe means esophagus, not windpipe. How would having food in there be life threatening(at least immediately, it would obviously stop you from eating of course)? I sometimes get food that tends to stick and it's incredibly uncomfortable and alarming when it happens, so I'm sure it really sucked.

The thing that warms my heart about the case isn't just that they're found guilty as hell and getting the book thrown at them; it's that they are the kinds of people for whom reputation is everything, and that is what's actually getting summarily stripped from them.

To the wife, the whole case was revenge for a slight from a "no one" in her words. Someone who, in her interpretation, "insulted" her son. That in itself was enough to make her want to destroy the person's life. For the crime of insinuating that her perfect family was anything less than gods walking the earth.

When she told her firefighter boyfriend "I will not survive this", she wasn't kidding. Just having to go through the trials, in the public eye, has got to be the most mortifying thing possible for her. And now that this story is getting the glossy LA Times treatment and zooming all over the internet (just as Amy did) so that everyone in the entire world knows that the two of them are scum—and stupid scum at that, since the story makes no attempt to downplay any of the idiotic poo poo they did—I wouldn't be surprised if the "how to kill yourself" search on her iPad was legitimately for herself, not something she left open for her husband to find.

My only remaining wish for fulfillment is that they serve as a warning to others somehow, and that some other delusional power-tripping monsters have enough clarity to see this as the path they're going down.

I also hope their kids will be okay. Imagine growing up being treated like princelings and then suddenly you're whisked away from your parents who are now the most hated people in America.

The last part is up now and mentions a trailer for her book (HOLDING HOUSE by AVA BJORK)- the husband is narrating this....

Also

quote:

To celebrate the verdict, Kelli Peters’ friends threw her a party. They had bought a heart-shaped pinata and decorated it with blown-up copies of the Easters’ mug shots.

Someone gave Peters a stick. She held it tentatively, embarrassed, and administered some half-hearted thwacks. Her daughter, now 15, took the stick. The girl whose childhood had been blighted by the ordeal told her mother to step back. Some of the people in the room were laughing, and some of the same people were already beginning to cry.

She swung the stick full-force. Paydays and 100 Grand bars tumbled through the gash.

Yeah, it sucked, but both times I was there for less than two hours and was released pretty much after it was done. Dysphagia is a risk when you've got the immune disorder I do, and I'm glad I've only dealt with it twice.

It's not a "nearly killed myself" thing, it's just people who can't/won't read. They're like Trump supporters, always funny that they get it so wrong.

Oh man, for me it was the double serving of the old scooty fruity where, not only are they smug as gently caress lawyers thinking they got away with a perfect crime, they hired equally smug defense attorneys who didn't even go through all the evidence thinking this poo poo was open and shut because their clients are wealthy lawyers... Until the prosecutor pulled out the phone data pings in his final argument after the defense rested. That was the good stuff right there.

A hot dog is a piece of bread bent around some meat. If I start to make a ham sandwich and find I only have one slice of bread, which I then bend in half around the ham, does it somehow never become a sandwich?

A hot dog is an "Open Palm" sandwich, as opposed to the "Closed Fist" school, which values self-sufficiency and will to power.
