What's the crime? Stealing something that is less than $1000? They could have stolen that from the front of a store and if they weren't detained by a store cop, the police won't do anything typically. If they plead guilty, th

You can't press charges yourself. You can go directly to the DA with your evidence and hope they press charges, but there is no role for you as a citizen to instigate a criminal preceding. https://blogs.findlaw.com/blot

Sadly, a video of a random figure with face obscured throwing a rock through your car window isn't going to get the police involved. Even with a GPS location of someone you pranked with a package, if there's no evidence directly t

It is, "Too much sitting over the course of a day is not healthy — let’s be clear. And as I’ve written before, exercise is the closest thing to a wonder drug. Few things provide such a health benefit."

That's a treadmill desk... I really think this comment section is just people reading the article as "Standing desks are bad" and posting any positive thing about standing desks. The article is, "Standing desks, by thems

The article that you are commenting on specifically states that standing desks aren't an improvement for cardiovascular health. The article also states that standing desks can help ergonomic issues. The article you posted shows that a

Its my impression that dividends are set per share class. What if SNAP only pays dividends on profit to the Series B and C? So how would members of class A petition the company to give dividends to them? What recourse does the Series A hold

I always thought of SNAP shares as 'baseball cards'. In the baseball card mania of the 90s, it was said they go up and down in value as the player does well and poorly. But, hey are completely devoid of inherent value. I'm t

The best way to think of this is it might take 100 seconds to 'record' those 10 trillion frames that occur in 1 second. That doesn't seem to make sense, but imagine this. You want to shoot 100 frames of the first millisecond

How much of this is Apple's fault and how much of it is the RIAA and MPAA's fault for enforcing this region based DRM structure where every possible use of media is split up and locked from each other. Oh, I was only able to purch

That there are those who can BS their way to success doesn't mean there are others who underestimate their abilities and hide. There aren't even just these 2 categories, if you look at those who BS, there are those who are aware o
