Wanna bet this thing was basically just a really cuddly puppy?

"with most birds you're worried about getting bitten. yeah. No. they can do that, but, check out these [brutal efficient killing machines]!"
they don't seem to be concerned about the policies themselves, just that scrutiny means they can't pursue those and because of that they can't meet the forecasts.

The investors described this as “materially false and misleading,” pointing to the immense public scrutiny the company and the broader health insurance industry experienced in the wake of Thompson's killing.
The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing "the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve" its earnings goals.
"As such, the Company was deliberately reckless in doubling down on its previously issued guidance," the suit reads.
The company eventually revised its 2025 outlook on April 17, citing a needed shift in corporate strategy — a move that caused its stock to drop more than 22% that day.
"The company denies any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to defend the matter vigorously," a UnitedHealthcare spokesperson said in a statement.
Thompson's fatal shooting on the streets of New York City in broad daylight sent shockwaves across the nation.
Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old man accused of the killing, has pleaded not guilty to federal and state charges against him. The legal defense fund for Mangione surpassed the $1 million mark in donations on Tuesday.

Time to name and shame these shareholders.
fucking ghouls.
Late December one of Truman’s super hornets got shot down by friendly fire, though.
I still haven’t forgiven them for doing Tom Bombadil dirty.
You’d be surprise many fake ids get carried at hotels.
But not usually for proving one’s gender.
I’d say calling them a “six pack of white women” would never be acceptable in a profession setting (ie a lawyer commenting on a trial his daughter is working for the defense on.)
There’s better ways to phrase it that is far from being so disparaging.
There may very well be an issue of racism. That’s for comb’s actual defense team to bring to the judges attention.
Further, there absolutely is a better way to express that concern. It was an absolutely sexist comment and highly inappropriate. as a lawyer Geragos should know better.
Especially as he is loosely connected to the defense team and could potentially taint the jury pool.
So. which parts of reddit did they walk into?

I can't wear the stupid "I voted" sticker. Because they stick it to the mail in ballot instead.

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..
Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.
Snow on Thursday.
Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.
With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.
Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:
The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:
which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.
has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)
I mean, like incompetent. For the record those organs I just stole? literally on the desk in front of him. Time to hike on over and sell it. To the Trade Authority.... all 20 feet away...

None of the birth defects caused by boozing it up whilst pregnant affect the genetics of the child. it disrupts the development, and does not generally effect the genetic make up.
in short, fetal alcohol syndrome is not a heritable trait and have no reasonable effect on 'the rate of evolution'.
Keep in mind, evolution is a slow process consisting of gradual changes resulting in divergent species.
