That sketch makes him look way handsomer than he really is

pretty sure that's not a real court sketch but a delightful parody

the real court sketches are something, one of them truly looks like they're drawing a Twilight Zone character

so despite having watched 3045709384 eps of law and order 4913984 times each i was faintly startled by the way defence is popping up at every hinge-point in this trial to say "we now move for an acquittal!" -- which the judge then denies. does this always happen in the US? in the hope that the judge by mistake says yes?

i mean i realise there *are* some acquittals at such stages, bcz the prosecution has fully fucked up its case or someone else has confessed or whatever -- but is it defence's job just to try it on anyway, just in case?

I think there are multiple sketches - I'm not sure there's one official sketch artist so they may all be "real" sketches.

xp

Pretty much. The defense attorney has to ask for it to preserve the issue for appeal, but it is rarely granted.

hes a bit of a sociopath

Most fraudsters have at least one thing in common: they have no apparent sense of shame or remorse.

Goes along with being a sociopath, I reckon.

I saw a guy being interviewed who had been an early sceptic of this enterprise and had gone after SBF early and warned people it was a grift. Not a pleasant person himself, a charmless, grizzled veteran market speculator from the 80's who says fuck every 2nd word. The funny bit was when he explained his original misgivings "nothing about this checked out ... also I hated the stupid little fuck"

I mean, all of crypto is a big grift, so on some level this was a fraud of frauds.

lol, sounded like a spellblinding event. I don't really understand how someone in the chain of the festival organisation up to the event manager wouldn't be piping up + saying hmm perhaps it's not a great idea and actually extremely dangerous to blast a crowd of people with cornea burning UV light.

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Monday, 6 November 2023 05:46 (five months ago) link

in related news I started using hyabak eye drops every morning, which are good for anyone who does too much screentime. It doesn't protect from direct exposure to UV though!

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Monday, 6 November 2023 07:10 (five months ago) link

halfway down the quick photokeratitis thread it says "think snowblindness" -- which is correct (snowblindness is indeed caused an excess of UV light) but also a trillion times too cool for these shut-in clowns

mark s, Monday, 6 November 2023 08:59 (five months ago) link

yes, I was listening someone talking about UV sterilisers and mentioning that if you are dumb enough to shine one into yr own eyes it could cause permanent cornea damage at worst or at least temporary "snowblindness"

presumably someone bought the lights and didnt realize they were the bad kind, same thing happened at a hypebeast event a while ago, also in hong kong https://hongkongfp.com/2017/10/26/partygoers-left-burns-light-sensitivity-hypebeast-event-landmark

According to Philip’s website, it emits 12.0 W of UV-C radiation and is mainly used for disinfection purposes.

i thought about buying a uv-c light once to stick inside a leather boot that had a moldy smell. never occurred to me to use one as a vibe light

seems very appropriate that this happens in hong kong, bastion of unregulated, free-market capitalism where nothing is unavailable for purchase to the general public, not even cancer-causing skin burning UV-C bulbs

going to also put my response in the “bruh” column

UV-C wtf
