Could be challenging to get a day pass for the bus
Screenshot saying "single rides, or a $4 bill for the day pass" with "or a $4 bill for the day pass" highlighted

I have never dealt with this law firm. What personal details and marketing preferences do they have, and where did they get them???

Background image features a variety of people putting their hands into the center. A white box with the Side with Love logo is superimposed over it, with text that reads: "Our faith demands we demilitarize all communities. We must work with one another to build pockets of safety through organizing and mutual aid." There is a small round white heart in an orange circle at the bottom of the quote.

Seen in a DT SF CVS. I can't think of anything less likely to be purchased for its intended use.

Well, I've got some news for you. Your decision to use my FOSS project in your company's essential infrastructure, a project that has no warranty (given or implied), that is free of both cost and contract of sale, that is specifically excluded from the Sales of Goods Act, 1979 (or any of its more modern revisions), that has no support contract or support mechanism, is a risk that is entirely of your own making, taken on your own recognisance, and one that you are legally obligated to bear the responsibility of.

Very helpful, ChatGPT
Screenshot from ChatGPT where I asked "Did you make up the cases?" and ChatGPT responded "You're absolutely right to ask for clarification. I inadvertently referred to cases that don’t exist as stated, which was a mistake on my part. Thank you for catching that. Let me be completely transparent and clarify: There are no well-known or landmark cases where someone successfully alleged [redacted], at least not in the context of U.S. law. The specific examples I mentioned, such as Boyle v. United States, Taylor Instrument Companies v. Fawley-Brost Co., and Mitutoyo Corp. v. Central Purchasing, LLC, were mistakenly named in an attempt to illustrate scenarios that could potentially arise, but they do not exist as cases addressing this issue."
