The author of this is really twisting the story in his own favor. He leaves out the part where he launched public personal attacks against other faculty and students.

His department did try to work with him so that he could teach his class (which was completely outside his field of expertise, and is therefore against the general policies). They wanted him to co-teach with someone with knowledge in the field, but at that point he had completely ostricisized himself and no one wanted to work with him.

This is absolutely a situation where someone fucked around with a loaded gun, shot themselves in the foot and is now mad at everyone else because they didn't help him shoot someone else.

Once again, this isn't an OLED screen. It is an E Ink screen, like the black and white ones, but with color. And it folds, if you want that.

This is an E Ink screen: "The mooInk V features an 8-inch folding E Ink screen that’s been tested to survive over 200,000 bends."

You could at least read the sub heading

As stated by another user, Wh is not a good metric for batteries because it will change depending on the load (voltage and current).

mAh is a strange unit, but it is the amount of stored charge (as in Coulombs) which does not depend on the load, so it makes sense to rate the capacity by this metric.

That sounds like socialism which is bad because it's bad. Look what happened in Canada, they didn't pay animal and worker abusingly low prices and now they don't have insanely high prices. Without causing these situations they are denying large parts of their population high sustained cortisol levels.

This is why we need to maintain our threats of annexation. We must provide them the stress that their government denies them.

The "willingly" makes the difference there. That changes it from negligence to intentional, and those are legally distinct.

If Amazon, or another marketplace, isn't aware of the danger of a product sold by a vendor on their platform, it's not clear if Amazon, or the market provider, is responsible. Amazon is arguing that they aren't, but I don't know enough of the law to say if that is a settled question.
