Just because I'm curious, is the fact that this is a "risky gamble" concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?

In regards to your apple mouse example, surely it's relevant to know how long the charging process is. The hangups I would have are when the interruption happens, how quickly is it resolved, similar to your points about the firmware on the grill.

If it takes 30 seconds to recharge to a point of usability, fine, no real harm. But if it takes 10-20 minutes to get to a usable state, then we have an issue.

A related scenario is if the Nintendo switch drains completely of battery; even plugging it into a dock and trying to play docked, you still have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to give it enough juice to boot back up.

By the looks of it, it's 30% to NYC, 30% to Texas, and 30% to California. So 10% for literally everywhere else in the US. That's gotta be close, right?

They had it coming anyway.

Addendum:

They were too young and a bunch were sick, they were forced to get older puppies, who then also got sick.

They fucked up, got told they fucked up, then fucked up again.

I got that same impression. Like this isn't a matter of belief, it's whether or not people are rejecting facts.

10k hours of actual drinking fluids seems pretty absurd, to be honest. Like I'll throw out random numbers of 30 seconds to drink 8 oz of water. That means to make 10k hours you'd have drank 9.6 million oz of fluids.

That's 75k gallons. That seems a bit excessive.

I would wager that bat species has been around longer than jelly donuts.

Someone just really wanted to snack on that bat

Hm. I'd be interested in seeing anything backing that up. You've just broadly stated that "ineffective" tax policies don't work well, and I feel that is sorta in the name. Is there any line of reasoning that would make "wealth taxes" ineffective?

Well, apparently the person you responded to exaggerates a lot of their comments and has no source to support them, while there are direct responses to them that disagree (also with no source).
