the director of the CIA’s emails were shared online by someone who is not yet old enough to buy beer

The WikiLeaks page includes Brennan’s application for security clearance, which has many personal details, including his Passport number, his past residencies and information about his acquaintances. WikiLeaks also published documents outlining the U.S. policy in Iran, as well as letters about U.S. torture practices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Rivera_%28wrongful_conviction%29 shows me that a great way to make it rich quick is to cave and give a false confession under interrogation and then sue their pants off when you're proven innocent!

Wait, this isn't the lifehack thread

quote:

After his release, Rivera's attorneys asked the courts to order genetic testing on Rivera's shoes, which the prosecution had tried to enter into evidence in 1993. The shoes had Staker's blood on them, but the prosecution withdrew the evidence prior to Rivera's first trial when it was discovered that the shoes were not available for sale anywhere in the United States until after the murder. DNA testing conducted on the shoes in 2015 indicated that the blood indeed belonged to Staker, but also contained another genetic sample – one that matched the semen sample. Rivera's defense team insists that this is proof not only that the blood was planted, but that the real killer's DNA was inadvertently planted as well. The DNA has yet to be matched to an individual but has been linked to DNA from another home invasion and murder. The man convicted of that crime also claims he was wrongfully convicted.

He sold everything. I think all he gets is "based on characters created by".

I mean, he got 4 billion for it, and he needed that money so little he said he planned on donating it to education charities, so he neither needs nor wants our sympathy.

Is Lucas not a Disney stock holder now? I thought that some of the $4billion was stocks/shares and the rest was cash when he sold LucasFilm.

It's probably true to some degree of lots of cities, but stuff that's just pervasive in Manhattan. Like living on the 20th floor (or 6th floor of a walkup) and having your entire world be encompassed by a 5-block radius, everything from shopping to laundry to your kids' school. Steam heat. Food carts. I mean, lots of cities operate like this, but NYC sort of concentrates it to an extreme degree.

This is exactly like London. Which is even more compounded by the fact our mass transit systems are a third smaller than they should be and we still have lovely narrow streets from 600 years ago.

I've still never been to London, but the tiny streets are what I'm looking forward to the most. Something about cars the size of toasters zipping around twisty weird streets seems charming to me.

This London only exists in your head. If your basing this on anything you've seen or read get ready for a shock.

We have tiny rear end streets and normal sized cars.

Baron von Eevl posted:

To be fair, several of those streets were rebuilt only 350 years ago.

The rebuilt roads were only slightly widened after the fire. They're pretty much exactly as they were before the fire.
Incidentally Wren's original plans were to make London's roads much much wider and grid like, much like Manhattan is today, but we were too busy being at war with the Dutch to actually spend money on it.

London: loving over future generations by underinvesting in infrastructure since time time immemorial.

We really are a city of freude.
We still have 150 year old Victorian copper piping for our sewer system. One of them burst recently and caused this:

http://www.timeout.com/london/blog/in-pictures-islington-has-been-flooded-by-a-burst-water-main-120516

We were also one of the first cities to have a sub surface railway system. Whilst New York shut down their pneumatic transit experiment and started again with an electrified system later, we decided to just keep building on the old underground rail. Our deep lying tube lines still have 120 year old stations and these stations and the trains cannot be fitted with air conditioning something, which any London commuter will tell you, is badly needed in the summer.

chitoryu12 posted:

Some tracks can't be connected whatsoever because the rival companies didn't even use the same track gauge, so some tunnels are too small for trains built to run on other lines and some stations are too short to fit an entire train from a different line.

This is no different from the Tube in London.



On the left is the deep lying underground trains, on the right is the 'sub-surface' trains. Neither can run on the rails intended for the other. The sub-surface trains where upgraded to have air conditioning it's currently impossible to do the same for the deep lying trains.

Almost as bad as the garagedoor company bricking their device because a customer left a negative review.

Advertising people are idiots.
Nobody focus tests ads unless the ad agency preselects a heavily biased sample to get the outcome they want so the client buys into it.
Source: I have worked in advertising for over 10 years.

Also the show Madmen is the worst thing to happen to advertising because it encourages people working in it to get high off their own farts even more.
