To be honest, I haven't allowed myself to get to far in the philosophical weeds on the idea of "evil".

I think it is malicious . It shows a cartoon of a no hoper excelling after drinking red bull , they achieve the impossible . No one thinks it does make you fly BUT they have imprinted the idea that Red Bull allows you to achieve the impossible by giving a bald lie . It is calculated and misleading , millions have (literally) swallowed it . Its the idea behind the lie that is what they want us to consume somewhere deep down in our psyche . When we are down and vulnerable there is always the Red Bull snake oil . They get the message into our brians through the lie 'Red Bull gives you wings' . It should not be tolerated .

The judge/jury probably agreed with you -- and I don't exactly disagree, but if that were the only claim they made, I'd be willing to give artistic license the benefit of the doubt (it does contain caffeine, so it can "pick you up" as much as coffee does).

My dad worked in the movies as a rigger. Once or twice he did the odd ad and on one of these occasions told me about a superglue ad where they had to use contact adhesive to get the "demonstrated" strength of the superglue.
Once I had a TV ad generated for my booze business and they added dish soap to the beer to keep the foam intact under the studio lights.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Wow! You've actually found a Daily Fail story which isn't full of lies. 
The way the media - and the public - responded to that case was appalling.

Hmm.
There's a lot of emotive verbiage on both sides of the case, but the idea that a company that makes a product is responsible if you misuse it or have an accident whilst using it is still a bad one.
Imagine if that were applied to other products:
-- Ford made the car which was capable of going up to speeds which could cause serious injury if hitting a concrete wall head on.
-- Apple made a computer that can cause significant injury if someone is hit over the head with it.
The "Oh, that poor old lady!" argument is not a good one for setting precedents, especially for a precedent that effectively makes the owner of every espresso machine (whether in a business or at home) liable for accidents that people have when drinking their coffee (espresso machines brew at 190-196F, and make far better coffee than the colder drip-through filter machines/cafetieres, etc).
So don't expect the good coffee, if you come to my house; you can watch me drinking it, while you sup the watery cr@p.

Any Twin Peaks fans still waiting for answers 25 years after the show finished?
Not for much longer[^], apparently.

"Hooters then filed suit against Twin Peaks and alleged the former Hooters executives had stolen Hooters trade secrets and management documents as part of their move to Twin Peaks"
What, they had a piece of headed paper with "Get hotties to flash the flesh" written on it?
I can't see that there's anything else they could have "stolen" that wouldn't be applicable to several million non-boobie-flashing establishments, so what could the great "secrets" be?

That is great news ! I wonder if that sonic wizard Angelo Badalamenti (now 77 years old) will do the music. He did the score for the Russian film, Stalingrad, in 2013.

Hi everybody, me and my coworkers are new in Git, we just come from TFS, no one in the company had used Git before, we are totally noobs with Git.
So here comes our big question...
We don't know and it's not clear in the documentations (mostlry based on this http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/[^])
if:
- When Release-XX is in QA, should Development be in Code Freeze, no new Features are added or bug fixings that doesn't comes from Release-XX?
- Are we able to add or features after we end (following Pull request) or all the Pull request should be approved at the end some days before the new Release will be created?
I personally believe Development is for Developers, so its free, if I finish a feature or bug it should go to Develop branch, without being queue for weeks, this avoids the chaos or merging all the Features in the same day. But we are doing Code Freeze in develop when there is a Release-XX branch in QA, and due there is always a Release-XX, I can't never Finish my Ticket until the Pull Request fails due other Pull request approvals, then I must re-do my Pull Request.
If someone can give a good advice on how this should work, and provide links with documentation I would really appreciate it, I feel like we are in a Git-Chaos train

I am no guru in git (still confuses the hell out of me at times!), but I would have thought you would create a new branch to continue developing in. Alternatively clone the Repo into a whole new fork and develop on that, you could then do a pull back into the previous (in QA) repo.

We are using git flow.. it uses 2 main Branch:
Main <-- Current production, no one works here, you can create branches for hot fixes.
Develop <-- you get branches and do you work (Features), at the end you merge all there. When a release is planed, they get a Branch, called Release-## and that one is in QA and you can en theory continue working in Develop and the Features branch
so is like you said, but following the Git Flow logic, what we are not sure is when can we merge into Develop branch, and if we should or no do Code Freeze in Develop...
