Personally I disagree. “Fewer” is more verbose than “less,” so it just looks cumbersome to me in many instances.

It also irks me a bit, because I know at least some of the instances I see are likely based on the above misunderstanding, not taste.

FARGO — A grandmother from Tennessee is working to get her life back after what she says was a case of mistaken identity that nearly cost her everything.

Angela Lipps spent nearly six months in jail after Fargo police connected her to a bank fraud case in the metro.

It’s a crime she says she didn’t commit. In fact, she said she’s never been to North Dakota.

Lipps, 50, is the mother of three grown children and has five grandchildren, spending nearly her entire life in north-central Tennessee. The extent of her travels is limited to neighboring states.

She’s never been on an airplane in her life.

That changed last summer when police flew her to North Dakota to face criminal charges after facial recognition showed she was the main suspect in what Fargo police called an organized bank fraud case.

“It was so scary, I can still see it in my head, over and over again,” Lipps said.

It was July 14, the day a team of U.S. Marshals arrested Lipps at her home in Tennessee. She said she was taken away at gunpoint while babysitting four young children. She was booked into her county jail in Tennessee as a fugitive from justice from North Dakota.

“I’ve never been to North Dakota, I don’t know anyone from North Dakota,” Lipps said.

Lipps would sit in that Tennessee jail cell for nearly four months. As a fugitive, she was held without bail. Lipps learned, following a Fargo Police Department investigation, she had been charged with four counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information and four counts of theft in North Dakota.

In Tennessee, she was given a court appointed lawyer for the extradition process. To fight the charges, she was told she would have to go to North Dakota.

Through an open records request, WDAY News obtained the Fargo police file in this case. In April and May 2025, detectives were investigating several bank fraud cases. A woman is seen using a fake U.S. Army military I.D. card to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars.

In an effort to help identify the woman in the surveillance video, court documents show Fargo police used facial recognition software. The software identified the person as Angela Lipps. According to the court documents, the Fargo detective working the case then looked at Lipps’ social media accounts and Tennessee driver’s license photo.

In his charging document, the detective wrote that Lipps appeared to be the suspect based on facial features, body type and hairstyle and color.

Lipps told WDAY News that no one from the Fargo Police Department ever called to question her.

Officers from North Dakota did not pick up Lipps from her jail cell in Tennessee until Oct. 30 — 108 days after her arrest. The next day she made her first appearance in a North Dakota courtroom to fight the charges.

“If the only thing you have is facial recognition, I might want to dig a little deeper,” said Jay Greenwood, the lawyer representing Lipps in North Dakota.

Greenwood immediately asked Lipps for her bank records. Once they were in hand, Fargo police met with him and Lipps at the Cass County jail on Dec. 19. She had already been in jail for more than five months. It was the first time police interviewed her.

Her bank records showed she was more than 1,200 miles away, at home in Tennessee at the same time police claimed she was in Fargo committing fraud.

“Around the same time she’s depositing Social Security checks … she is buying cigarettes at a gas station, around the same time, she is buying a pizza, she is using a cash app to buy an Uber Eats,” Greenwood said.

On Christmas Eve, five days after the interview with Fargo police, the case was dismissed, and she was released from jail.

But, Lipps was now stranded in Fargo.

“I had my summer clothes on, no coat, it was so cold outside, snow on the ground, scared, I wanted out but I didn’t know what I was going to do, how I was going to get home,” Lipps said.

Fargo police did not cover Angela’s expenses to get home after her release from jail. Local defense attorneys gave her money to pay for a hotel room and food on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The day after Christmas, F5 Project founder Adam Martin drove Lipps to Chicago so she could get home to Tennessee. Fargo-based F5 Project is an organization providing services and resources to individuals struggling with incarceration, mental health and addiction.

“I’m just glad it’s over. I’ll never go back to North Dakota,” Lipps said.

For more than a week, WDAY News tried to arrange an on camera interview with Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski to discuss the case. Through a spokesperson the chief declined an on-camera interview. WDAY News brought the issue up on Wednesday, March 11, at Zibolski’s retirement news conference.

“Why did nobody from Fargo Police ever speak with Angela Lipps for the five months she was in jail?” Zibolski was asked.

“Thank you, Matt (Henson), for that question but we are not here to talk about that today,” Zibolski replied.

Lipps is back home in Tennessee now, but is still feeling the impact from the incident. She told WDAY News that no one from the Fargo Police Department has apologized for the incident.

Unable to pay her bills from jail, she lost her home, her car and even her dog.

Fargo police say the bank fraud case is still under investigation and no arrests have been made.

This is a contested grammar rule that was based on one persons opinion in the late 1700s.

There are plently of examples in history and modern usage where less and fewer are used interchangably. It is not a fixed part of english grammar as much as an “internet gotcha” that is commonly repeated.

Very light sandpaper, like 320. Just a couple of passes.

It will make the glass grainy, and there is no real evidence you did anything.

Bill hicks had it right.

All of these systems are designed to prevent backflow when they have no utility input voltage. Its baked into them.

There should be zero extra danger to lineman unless people are DIYing these systems, which they can do now with or without a law.

You can likely sue them in small claims court. Many states let you file for a couple hundred dollars and will give you 3x damages if you win.

The most likely outcome is they settle when the court date approaches or dont show and you win hy default.

You can DIY relativlty inexpensivly, at least until it gets to the electrical interconnect.

Im eyeballing a home battery pack from ecoflow:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/ecoflow-delta-pro-ultra-smart-home-panel-2-review/

The newish one, newer than that article, can take 6k of input panels with it built in solar. If you go with that smart panel, it seamlessly integrates with your house. 15k for the battery + panel + install, 2-3k for the panels if you DIY the install, which will just be climbing on the roofs, drilling racks, and running an electrical cable to the battery pack.

It likely wont power your whole house, but 6k is a good start. You can also double up on the controller and install 12k of panels if you want, so on and so forth.

Except it’s also made of gel and eats people if they fall asleep on it.

You sure this isn’t a vore spinoff of the twilight spinoff ?

I couldnt find the source that listed the slip either, I just recall reading an article that listed the slip days back so i knew the context.

He corrected himself a few days ago in a back and forth about iran after he called if department of defense and called it the department of war.

Here he is 3 days ago:

“We are not at war. We have no intention of being at war,” he told reporters. “The Department of War has made it very clear – this is a limited operation. It’s an operation that is limited in its scope and duration.”

Changing the “base view type” to something besides the default “cards” will also do it. “Full with cards” looks to shift this by default.

The first step is using correctly sized ethernet cables. Dont use a 12 ft cable for a 3 ft run. There shouldnt be more than a foot of slack in general. You dont need to “tidy” excess you dont have.

Then, for when you do need to tidy cables, use velcro ties, not zip ties. Ideally, you still label all the runs, especially the long ones. Seems a bit redundant for 3ft, but its still helpful.

Most ethernet cable is UTP, literally “unshielded twisted pair.” Shielded cable is much more expensive and less physically flexible due to the metal jackets, so people dont tend to buy it by default.

You can argue the jacket is shielding, but mostly ethernet cable is not shielded. The braiding will cause problems, but likely very minor ones based on the length of the the run that CRC will compensate for.

Contact apparently leaned heavily towards the “actual science” end of the movie spectrum.

Its not 110 billion up front. Its setup to hit 110 billion in several stages if they hit certain metrics like AGI or going public.

The first stage is something like 35 billion based on reports. 15 billion from Amazon, then 10 billion each from Nvidia and Softbank. Looks like Microsoft sat this round out since they arent name checked:

All of this adds a little more anxiety to OpenAI’s alleged $100 billion funding round which, as The Information reports, Amazon’s alleged $50 billion investment will actually be $15 billion, with the next $35 billion contingent on AGI or an IPO:

Under the terms of the investment, which are still being negotiated, Amazon would initially invest $15 billion into OpenAI, these people said. The other $35 billion could hinge on OpenAI reaching AGI or going public, the people said. The proposed Amazon investment is part of OpenAI’s current funding round, which could top $100 billion at a valuation of $730 billion before the financing.

And that $30 billion from NVIDIA is shaping up to be a Klarna-esque three-installment payment plan:

In addition, SoftBank and Nvidia each plan to invest $30 billion in three installments through the year as part of the round, said the people. Microsoft had been expected to invest low billions of dollars, The Information previously reported, but it could invest a smaller amount or none at all, according to two of the people.

Still a fuckton, but as usual Altman is hyping something that hasent actually happened.
