Are there any notable instances of murder for copyright reasons?

The current law is still extends the copyright of a work until a time after the author's death. So if one wished to hasten the expiration of those rights, the motivation still exists; although perhaps diminished by a 70 year wait.

His (in)famous sockpuppetry on Metafilter happened back in 2011, so he was a bit off well before his divorce or stepson's death.

Here's the link to that for context if anyone else is curious: https://www.metafilter.com/102472/How-to-Get-a-Real-Educatio...

his posts on that site are fantastic! Also, someone replied "Welcome to Metafilter Scott" on his first post.

The changes for the watch were also very uninspiring this year.

Electric bills aren't calculated by the Watt, you pay per kWh. The expected cost of running the fridge is the salient information.

Yet the service into my home and each individual circuit has a maximum on received power so the Watt is usually more pertinent anyways. Taking an average Watt usage value and extrapolating that into kWh/month is both incredibly easy and completely standardized.

0.108 x 168 hours/wk x 4.4 wks/month gives a good approximation for kwh/month. Demand over time gives consumption just fine.

A 75% drop is nice and much improved.

I first heard the phrase used by parent in a video [1] by youtube channel Not Just Bikes, which found EVs to be similar to ICE cars at typical speeds.

I find EVs noticeably quieter, but the "typical speeds" here in Copenhagen are properly lower than where you live.

At 30km/h or so, the main noise is the engine, so EVs are quieter (as the video says).

I would think that majority-minority districts would arise more naturally with smaller districts. Currently the average district covers over three quarters of a million people, more than the population of Seattle. Something like fifty thousand people per district would give the neighborhood of Harlem in NYC four representatives.

You almost have to admire his dedication to just posting through his problems.

This is up there with the Canadian maple syrup theft in the "Crimes most befitting their country" list.

I shudder to think what the USA's would be, but strong chance it involves Florida Man.

Guns

Tell them to present some evidence or go pound sand? (“You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine.” -Tim Minchin)

Or, you know, destroy and deny existence of evidence that was previously abundant and considered obvious. Or move goalposts on what's considered "evidence" at all. Or manufacture mountains of data and statistics to simply drown out anything else.
