Authorities had performed an unannounced visit to Haddix's home in April and found a large cage in her basement. The cage was empty, but authorities saw "fresh dung," flies, blankets, an empty Gatorade bottle and “a half-eaten sucker” in the case, leading them to believe a chimp had recently been kept there.

The unannounced visit was a condition of her release.

Haddix's legal battle played out on HBO's "Chimp Crazy." The four-part series was released last year and followed her custody case with PETA over several chimps, including Tonka. The movie star chimp had vanished in 2021 under her care after a court granted PETA permission to transfer Tonka and other chimps to a sanctuary.

In January 2022 virtual court testimony featured in the four-part series, Haddix sobbed as she told the court that Tonka had died and was cremated. In the series, Haddix revealed to the audience that Tonka was alive and celebrated her tricking the court.

PETA used the HBO series as evidence in its case against Haddix.

In the Netherlands there is an (i believe) voluntary questionnaire now. Guess if you don't answer it they couldn't care less you're not joining cuz they have no room for unmotivated people and if you return it they could give you a call because the military establishment is woke enough to let everyone participate. I like this because in war being skilled isn't useful if you aren't motivated to fight and being 'weak' (read female, disabled, gay, whatever) isn't as dangerous because a part of those minorities have gotten serious training because they wanted to be trained and are willing to pick up arms.

There is no Saturn in the Netherlands, but Mediamarkt doesn't go above and beyond for anyone here. I think it's because their biggest competitor (Coolblue) does and they can't compete. Since they can't compete with the internet on price they seem to have had to focus on having products on display so you can see and feel them (and in case like phones, tv's and laptops you can try them). But once you've bought something and it breaks and it comes to warranty is entirely dependent on whether they think they can get the manufacturer to fix/replace it or not. If it is slightly questionable it isn't the manufacturers problem they'll turn you away as far as i've heard. I still come there every once in a while but it's been years since i bought something there because of a single bad experience.

From the transcript:

As for my final analysis of the situation, for the record, this is not the first thing I would have asked Proton to do. I think there's a lot of other cool things they could have done, and I frankly would have just preferred if they improved some of the integrations between their current products and just improved on those. But this is fine. I think it's so far fine. I don't know if I'm going to be using this, especially because it doesn't really integrate with anything else too much in the Proton ecosystem. One thing you need to understand about Lumo, which is maybe going to make it or break it for you, is a lot of people use AI as part of their process when it comes to searching for something. And Proton doesn't have a search engine, and this is something you have to actively go to to use, whereas something like DuckDuckGo's AI agent, which is something I do find myself just accidentally stumbling on using pretty often now, mainly because I'll do a search, I'll go through a few web articles, and then I'll go, oh, okay, that was interesting. I'm curious, like, if I put this information together, like what an LLM will spit out. And then I'll just go ahead and click.ai. But that use case isn't quite a thing for Lumo. Like, Lumo, you're going to have to log in and just go to Lumo just to go ahead and use your LLM. And at that point, you could have used any of the other ones that probably are better performing, almost as good privacy, or you could have just opened up your local program, which probably has better performance as well. So I think the uphill battle, for me at least, is going to be understanding where this could even fit in my workflow without just using it more. It's gonna be hard for me to know when this is actually better to use than some of the other tools. Either way, I think the major feat that they're happy with, as well as myself, is their ability to somehow do end-to-end encryption with these kind of AI models. The end-to-end encryption aspect of it is very interesting and is something that hopefully other providers can learn from to build even better AI models.

Must be to prevent people from preferring Mistrals cat.

HE INVITED EPSTEIN (who he ~~apparently~~ supposedly* barely knew) TO HIS FUCKING WEDDING.

Have to admit i dont have one either unfortunately

I switched from Google Maps to Organic Maps after trying a bunch of alternatives, didn't know about CoMaps then; but since I learned this is a fork of my favourite big tech alternative i've been postponing installing this. Seems like there are a lot of people positive about it here, so couldn't postpone any longer. It's installing as we speak.

I am not sure why you believe sinking ships is the only possible solution, but i'm not going to argue about it

boycotting Ireland is too far of a stretch.

labeling the whole country of Ireland as a sidekick is too much.

Almost like the hammer being your only tool if you think all problems have to be fixed with nails. Boycotting American companies surely can extend to products made in Europe, i agree that's completely different than boycotting everything Ireland makes.

I think all English speaking countries in Europe are culturally closer to US because of the language which means they are more accessible for US companies as well. There are other countries that could have played the same game as Ireland did, but they would have had a much harder time because there would be a language barrier. Punishing Ireland for using their position doesn't seem fair either, it would be much better to not allow US companies to benefit from Ireland by not buying their products wherever they're made unless there is no suitable alternative.

I meant better not sinking oil ships
