Do you not think products should be safe for children? The lawsuit was about how the companies are intentionally designing their products so that kids cannot stop using them. So it is like how swimming pools have to be fenced because they are so attractive to kids and then some neighbor...

I thought about that hot coffee case too when I read this thread! I remembered how the jury of the hot coffee case was the reason the judgement was so high for the old lady whose skin was burned off, and how they based the guilty verdict on McDonald's selling coffee significantly hotter than...

I suppose the 6 million pales in comparison to the 235 million from the New Mexico lawsuit. But I think I trust the juries decision that intentionally designing the platforms and features to be addictive to children when they knew it was harming them was not acceptable.

My mom used to make wild rice and lentils (I'm not sure but probably came in a package together) which I liked, but when I've made brown lentils myself it seems like a hassle because I'm used to food that can be quickly microwaved. Although I don't like the red ones as well as the brown, they...

I spent three hours today decluttering and it was almost all clutter from the past three weeks, so I still have a long way to go. Then while taking flattened boxes to the recycling bin downstairs, I found a lot of walkers left apparently for trash pickup. I rolled home a four wheeler that has...

I've been using the AI Mode more and more, its really convenient except it always has a helpful followup prompt that makes the conversation just keep going and going.

I went crazy buying stuff on Amazon this week, with two goals 1) organization with enclosed containers to make dusting easier and 2) healthier eating. I had bought a jicama at the store and it was hard work to prep it with my little kitchen knife, so I bought an 8 inch chef's knife which turns...

I have accumulated a variety of reusable bags for groceries. On my weekly big shop day I take the insulated square box (use it for frozen veggies, frozen dinners, ice cream pints etc), the insulated big cloth bag (use it for milk and other dairy items, plus fruits and veggies), several of the...

I agree wholeheartedly with this. It feels weird to watch so many old actresses and actors pretending they are young. I like to see older women in old movies and TV shows because they look so normal (like 'Aunt Bea' in Andy Griffith Show).

At least that sounds like the right scenario for annuities, isn't it? Now that I'm getting older and more conservative in my investments, and see how many times in the past the market went sideways for years and years, I have a different attitude to financial instruments that have a trade-off...

Yes, I agree, there are heat waves that can cause a lot of deaths, and apparently we can expect more and more of those in the future, so it would be helpful if they don't exaggerate or generalize every warning and cause people to start ignoring them. California heat waves are deadly, with the...

Very sad news to get. She will be so missed. I'm glad her family shared the news, such a last kindness of her to have her passing communicated so that no anxious wondering lingered.

I don't cook chicken anymore either, but instead of buying whole chickens I buy the canned cooked white meat chicken (located next to the cans of tuna in the store I shop at). When I open a can I put portions in little tupperware-like containers and freeze those (usually get three servings per...

OMG that is so hard to do, I had to do that when I was in my twenties and it was miserable. There are mini automatic machines, and although probably too expensive ($345), maybe you could afford the monthly payment option (I see it is a little under $30 a month on Amazon, for 12 months). Do you...

That was my first cat's thought when she died, I know because she tried to dash to the litter box (didn't quite make it all the way there).
