Thanks for the clarification.

But they still did the time, right? So it seems like a slippery slope to avoid giving people their due. Not to mention sometimes charges are stacked up to incentivize people to plea down to a lesser charge even if they couldn't convict

ELI5 why would people need to apply for this? Surely, if the database exists showing this conviction, a simple db scrub would do the trick. Unless they think people want to keep this conviction as some sort of trophy ...

Worth watching that movie? Couldn't get my wife to be interested enough to go to the cinema for it

Reply to comment by Louisvanderwright in Belarus claims Ukraine army groups have massed at border, risking its security by WickedSlice_
Despite Russia's general incompetence, it's hard enough as it is for Ukraine to defend its territory. Going through Moldova and Belarus would be a death sentence as the Russian propaganda puppets there would decry it as an invasion by Ukraine and how Russia was right all along. And I'm fairly certain Ukraine would stop receiving outside help at that point as well.

Exactly my thoughts. If Belarus would kick the Russian army out of its territory, they'd be no reason to mobilize at the border. And I'm sure Ukraine would be happy to have one less front to worry about

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Amazon puts $1.6m behind 'world-first' plan to harvest seaweed at offshore wind farm by For_All_Humanity
Because it's a nothing burger investment. Here's an experiment: I want to see if 10$ can change the life of a homeless person. QUICK! Get the media!
If you haven't caught the issue: it's the media attention for this investment which is literal pocket change for Amazon. If a person or entity worth only a few millions decided to make this investment, then I'd agree it's worth highlighting.

Exactly. That should not really be news. I mean it's better than nothing, but i wouldn't expect to be in the news for giving a homeless person a few bucks

Sorry to hear that. Friendly reminder: turn off most breakers until power comes back. This way you avoid having electronics break due to power surges. Keep one breaker for something basic like lights.

Not so bad in Canada so far though. Like 3-4 ft of snow and some ice, but power has been on in most places

Reply to comment by CaptainC0medy in Nvidia's text to 3D model and what it means for product design and engineering by Magic-Fabric
About what, how to charge people for more money? At this point in development time, Duke Nukem Forever was almost released. When Star Citizen was announced, Ps3 was at its peak, ps4 came and went, and there's a good chance the ps6 (or whatever hardware refresh will come about) will happen before this game is out.
If it wasn't a scam at first, it's definitely one now. At best, Roberts will release a game which won't satisfy most other than his hardcore supporters.

That's somewhat more understandable, albeit barely.
