You can’t say that. It should be “one fewer CEO”
Oh, man, this reminds me of when the default username/passcode was being shared for the displays. 4chan had its moments. I wonder if they are still the same…
Yeah - I remember reading about how these signs were laughably easy to “hack” a few years ago.
I thought about it for minute when the city installed one down the street. Then I imagined the weird shame I’d feel when my neighbors inevitably caught me, so never tried it out. Actually, in retrospect, they’d probably have helped.
I always wanted to warn about radioactive bears ahead. I don’t know why that was always the thing, but it seemed silly enough to make people smile while scaring the idiots.
That’s so charming! It’s my absolute favorite thing today.
Where I grew up there was an urban legend about radioactive deer. It was pre-internet, the deer were legitimately weird, and they lived in the woods adjacent to one of the US’s earliest nuclear research facilities. Everyone had seen them. The facility was active and well guarded. It seemed… plausible. Very plausible.

Just dropping by to make sure people get out there and speak to the less online folk of Pennsylvania and New York about your legitimate and reasonable doubts that Luigi is the guy as well informing about the horrors US health insurers conduct on a daily basis and the concept of jury nullification because it will be really interesting.
You have to be very particular if you’re going to do that.
Jury nullification is not allowed. Voting not guilty because you have reasonable doubt is always allowed. You don’t have to explain why you have reasonable doubt.
The fact that those happen to be jury nullification is unfortunate for those who would like to disallow it.
If you say “nullification”, you can likely be removed from the jury. If you say you believe they did it, but you’re going to vote not guilty anyway, you might be removed. If you just insist you have reasonable doubt, and insist that decision is yours to make, you can’t be removed.
Jury nullification is absolutely allowed. It’s the entire reason citizen juries exist. Otherwise, it would be better to have judicial panels determine guilt based on strict interpretation of the law.
The last line of defense against unjust laws and a corrupt judicial system is citizen juries who can refuse to convict.
A how to guide for jury nullification for those interested:

Waiting for the turn of this asshole
I know there are many others, but this one has a special place
Martin Shkreli, the asshole who’s company raised Daraprim prices from 13,50 to 750$ per pill.
Shkreli defended the price hike by saying, "If there was a company that was selling an Aston Martin at the price of a bicycle, and we buy that company and we ask to charge Toyota prices, I don’t think that that should be a crime.
Well, at least…
In 2017, Shkreli was convicted in federal court on two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and up to $7.4 million in fines. In the civil antitrust case, Shkreli was fined a further $64.6 million to be repaid to victims. In May 2022, he was released early from the low-security federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. He is permanently banned from serving as an officer of any publicly traded company.
