Now the Supreme Court is debating over whether “and” means “and” or “or"

Sorry, European here - what the actual fuck?

That was well explained and blows my mind a court is wasting any time on that.

Here we have the convention when drafting legislation that the conjunction ‘and’ at the end of a list it means all things in the list- so A, B, and C. Whereas if ‘or’ appears, it means a choice from the list.

I get that maybe once upon a time there needed to be clarification in the courts, but that cannot me the first time such a drafting approach has been taken in legislation in the USA and so an interpretation must have been established already?

I can see why contextually there could be room for either interpretation, but it’s astonishing a consistent interpretation hasn’t been established.

Air vpn too. I had a bit of back and forth swapping between proton and air vpn after Mullvad closing port forwarding. Protons spilt tunnelling is far better than air vpn, but their speeds were appalling so eventually I stuck with air vpn with a script to divert only the torrent traffic through the vpn. Man do I miss Mullvad!
