You're telling me "graf" is standard language for published articles?

And its unabbreviated form, "nut graf." Like, it's a legit thing. I mean...wow. Nut graf.

For availability, yes, but RAID is not a substitute for proper backup procedures. E.g. - offsite, cloud, or automated scheduled local backups, or even regular data integrity checks.

Ah, the Rashomon-inspired ep, "A Matter of Perspective." That was a good one! R.I.P. Margolis, he was a great actor.

I find it sad that you feel no empathy for the kids (or their parents), and that your first thought is to assign blame. I don't see the point in saying something so callous, but perhaps your intention is to spread hate. You wouldn't be a hateful person now, would you? I suppose only you know the real answer to that. Good luck to you, I know you'll figure it out one day.

That's the first thing that comes to mind?

Misha talked about how Jared would tickle his balls out of the cameraman’s view so that it looked like Misha was messing up his lines

What the fuck

Zaslav has been cutting costs so he and other Warner Bros Discovery executives can get multi-million dollar bonuses. It's not been widely reported, I was only able to find two articles.

It would be easier to get behind what "others believe" if the system they love so dearly wasn't a proven failure for anyone who isn't wealthy. It's been abused for decades, and all we have to show for it is more poor people suffering. You're 100% right in that (some) conservatives do disagree with AOC on specific issues; it's just that those issues in question were/are largely created by and/or supported by conservatives, who have little to offer aside from "we don't want anything to change."

This kind of akshually mentality distracts from the issues, which is what you're doing right now by nitpicking an obviously false absolute statement OP made. Nobody really thinks @ventrix is talking about 100% of all conservatives; to make a claim like that is more misleading and more prone to have a negative impact than anything OP said.

It's so melodramatic, it sounds like a child's attempt at satire. Like, try saying that out loud and not cringing.

80 Accessibility score on the new homepage.

It's worth pointing out that score of 80/100 is the result of an automated scan, which currently can catch no more than 40% of all potential accessibility issues. The remaining 60% (it's likely higher than this btw) can only be detected manually using a screen reader and keyboard only (for keyboard accessibility, as some people are able to use only the keyboard). So backing up what you said, the accessibility problem with Reddit is much worse than is being reported.

Both Reddit and Techcrunch need to do better.

They do, and the way they continue to mistreat their disabled users, even after meeting with them to discuss these issues, indicates they don't care.

In the interest of your safety (and that of your fam), I'd seriously consider backing off for now until you're sure the next move you make is a safe one. The police notified your FIL's old boss that he tipped them off, and even though you're in a different part of the country (by the sound of it), it's possible the old boss might learn you also called about the property. And if you and your FIL were the only ones to ever ask questions about the property, you're potentially drawing attention to yourself if you make the info public, even if it's done anonymously. I mean, who else would they suspect?

I'm not saying to do nothing; I have no suggestions on what you can actually do. But your FIL is dead (I am sorry for your loss), so no one's going to be disappointed if you call a time out and take time to think things through. Because if your suspicions are true, these are dangerous people you're dealing with here. Be careful, OP.
