First time images of the shooter were published by TMZ?

Not the first time, though it's been a minute...

A picture of Theodore Roosevelt delivering a speech. Roosevelt survived an assassination attempt on 14 Oct. 1912 while campaigning for the US presidency.

Am I understanding this right that the scalper buys a legit ticket to extract the token, then it can be used any number of times to get in a venue? I thought their system should be able to identify a token/ticket has already been scanned after it’s first used? That’s why there are no re-entry rules at most venues.

I don't think the intent of the scalpers is to allow ticket reuse. Like you say, there are likely additional checks at the gate when a bar code is scanned. If a rotating barcode is cloned, only the first person to scan is going to get in. Everyone else who tries to use a clone of that now-used barcode is going to get denied entry because the door staff's scanner is going to throw a "ticket already used" error of some kind. So while it's technically possible to clone one of these rotating barcodes, just like it's possible to have multiple authenticators producing the same OTPs, there's no point in doing so.

What the scalpers are after is a platform that allows them to resell tickets without giving TicketMaster a cut. TicketMaster allows their rotating-bardcode tickets to be transferred to a wallet app like Google Wallet. Wallet apps like Google Wallet have features to allow you to transfer tickets to another user's wallet, but the wallet specification also includes a flag for whether wallet-to-wallet transfers are allowed. TicketMaster sets that flag so you cannot give (or sell) your ticket to someone else using your own wallet, instead you have to go through something that TicketMaster controls. For transfers to friends and family, TicketMaster forces you to use their app. For reselling tickets, TicketMaster forces you to use their reselling site. TicketMaster's primary motive is obvious: they want to take a cut of ticket resales, and this is how they do that.

The whole thing is a legal fight between two utterly shitty groups, TicketMaster and scalpers. Here's hoping they somehow both lose.

The money came from products they sold online as well as their OnlyFans sites

Why do these guys have OnlyFans revenue? I doubt they're selling pics of themselves. Why would the models featured in those sites not cut out the Tate brothers and just deal with OnlyFans directly? The models provide the content, OnlyFans provides the platform... so what value do the Tate brothers provide? I have to imagine the answer to the first question is "threats" and the answer to the second is "nothing." These guys are just digital pimps.

I'll second this. If you look at commercial top-sliced hot dog buns, they're basically elongated pull-apart rolls that aren't baked brown on the sides because they were baked right next to a bunch of other rolls. I found this blog post that has a good pic of what I think would be the ideal spacing:

The parchment paper is almost certainly optional. Neat trick to keep the buns separate but likely not necessary.

I'm not sure it fits 100% with what you're looking for, but I'll take chance and recommend Slice & Dice (Google Play, Apple App Store). Free demo, no ads, single in-app purchase to unlock the full version. This game is easily the best value-for-dollar mobile game I've ever purchased.

Oh for sure, those are a communal resource.

Because the toxins your body is reacting to are already in your bloodstream. It'll take time for those to get metabolized by your liver, and how much or little you vomit won't change how much work your liver has to do.

have they fixed that yet?

They likely never will, because as far as Google is concerned that's a feature instead of a bug. You're at their mercy as long as you're using their launcher. Personally, I switched to Niagara Launcher for this exact reason.

One of my grandfathers worked for a telephone company before he passed. That man was an absolute pack rat, he wouldn't throw anything away. So naturally he had boxes and boxes of punch cards in this basement. I guess they were being thrown out when his employer upgraded to machines that didn't need punch cards, so he snagged those to use as note paper. I will say, they were great for taking notes. Nice sturdy card stock, and the perfect dimensions for making a shopping list or the like.

🛠️ PATCH 01.000.202 ⚙️

🌎 Overview

This update includes

  • Fixed crash which could occur when large volumes of enemies were present.
  • Fixed crash which could occur when the player picked up a snowball.
  • Fixed crash which could occur when completing an objective.
  • Fixed hang that could occur while navigating the social menu.
  • Picking up Medals and Super Credits will no longer lock the player in place.

🧠 Known Issues

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed. This list is not exhaustive, and we are continuing to identify issues and create fixes. These are organized by feedback, reports, severity, etc.

  • Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host.
  • Players may experience delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts.
  • Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.
  • Certain weapons like the Sickle cannot shoot through foliage.
  • Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned.
  • Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire.
  • Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
  • Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
  • Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock).
  • Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
  • Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.

Looks like we may soon be getting more things to buy using samples and requisition slips. The Catalog Expansion has no cost, and buying it does nothing. The Upgrade Effect text must be null for Catalog Expansion, that field just shows the effect for whichever upgrade was previously selected.

Edit: It's been acknowledged on the official Discord, looks like it's unintended:

ALERT: ROGUE ITEM DETECTED. The Ministry of Truth has confirmation that a rogue item called the "catalog expansion" is temporarily visible in the Ship Management menu and, in accordance with regulations, we instruct all Helldivers to avoid this rogue item until further notice. The Ministry of Truth cannot confirm the reliability or safety of this item, nor can they confirm its origin.
