And yet, the comments here are sort of proving that point.

Well, you don't understand the legal system at all.

You cannot submit new evidence in appeal, and again, the appeal was of the lawsuit for the Wrongful Termination. The whistleblowing was a separate item handled 7 years ago.

John Barnett had not worked for Boeing for 7 years, that's why that's the only part of this timeline that mattered. He turned over the evidence that he had, and literally could not collect more, because he was forced into retirement.

There's a chance he might have been called on for testimony by someone investigating the current and ongoing issues, but he had already submitted extensive sworn testimony on the subject, so there would be little need.

But that wrongful termination lawsuit, that was personal to him, and he was losing the final appeal. Hell, the reporting at the time of his death even said that he "retired" rather than being forced out of the company. That alone should tell you something.

But no, you want to spin an outlandish conspiracy theory based on a complete misunderstanding of the law and this man's life, all to say that Boeing, an admittedly evil company, is evil in a more personal way instead of the nebulous greed based evil that infects every corporation. The truth is, the company and its executives don't fucking care.

They're shielded from liability and have gotten their payouts, they ruin lives, and their greed has resulted in deaths as planes fall from the sky, but they admit no wrong doing and pay a small fine out of the employee pension fund. That's the true conspiracy. Not some made up contract killing of a man who was no threat at all, because all of his evidence was submitted to authorities 7 years ago.

Yes, it was a suicide, because his testimony wasn't part of anything related to whistleblowing, he was appealing a loss of the wrongful termination lawsuit against Boeing.

The idiots who never bothered to learn more than the man's name think "big company killed whistleblower" are showing just how little they understand things.

To recap, all the evidence from his whistleblowing was submitted to authorities 7 years ago. He had no bombshells to drop, no story that hadn't been told, just a lawsuit over how Boeing retaliated against him for Whistleblowing 7 years ago, forcing him to "retire".

A few days before he killed himself, he was on the stand in front of the appeals judges, and from all accounts, they did not seem like they were going to overturn his loss. He was then called back for another round of testimony, but was already dead by then.

Can you imagine a 7-year legal battle over being fired for having integrity? The stress this man must have felt?

Boeing killed John Barnett, but they didn't pull the trigger, he did. Don't cheapen that with lies about some sort of conspiracy. Just know that Boeing is one of dozens of companies who have worked for decades to weaken labor protections.

#4 is to start the apocalypse so that Jesus will come back and kill all the Jews who don't believe in him.

I've literally heard that exact reasoning from nutjobs who know just enough about geopolitics to know that using a nuke in that region would start WW3. Anyone using a nuke in that region would start it. Unless it's someone like North Korea. That would just mean the end of North Korea as everyone else banded together to take them down.

Anyway, beside the point because no one is insane enough to listen to Lady G.

Guardians 3 was good.

Mostly because they weren't trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.

On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.

Shang-Chi wasn't a bad movie... Not one I'm likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie...

Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don't have a full plan for what's next.

They've lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.

X-ray vision. He can see all the boobies he wants to. I'd imagine that he mostly got it all out of his system as a teen.

Also, it's not hard to resist a blatant setup like that if you know it's coming. Clark knows who Cat Grant is.

Punches the computer and starts blaming the Jews, because the unfortunate truth is that Bobby Fisher, in addition to be a massive prima donna, was kind of a Nazi.

It's actually pretty wild, Bobby Fisher's chess mentor openly walked around with a swastika lapel pin, in the 1950s.

The image says any cheese...

This is false.

There are two main categories of cheese, Acid and Rennet.

If the cheese is made with Rennet, it will melt, and sodium citrate will make it smooth and creamy.

If the cheese is made with acid, then it will never melt. It will burn first. Think Feta or similar.

The exception is very long aged cheeses. They don't melt all that well, even though they're made with Rennet.

Every Rennet cheese is aged, if only a few weeks, acid cheeses will spoil if aged.

Rust currently has a 30-day average player count of just under 75k.

My current favorite (Rimworld) has one of 16k.

That's still a lot of unhappy gamers.

A lifelong obsession.
