AND she was in a car with no cup holders. It wasn't a standard feature in sports cars in the 90s. She had borrowed it from her son.

And you're right that it didn't change coffee temps that much:

“During the Liebeck court proceedings, McDonald’s said it served its coffee between 180 and 190 degrees,” according to The New York Times. “The company has refused to disclose today’s standard temperature, but Retro Report shows a handbook for franchisees calling for temperatures 10 degrees lower.”

If it doesn’t sound like much, it’s because it’s not. McDonald’s chooses to keep their coffee scaldingly hot because, according to attorney Butch Wagner, hot coffee stays fresh for longer. They save money by doing this (millions per day, in fact, across their US franchises alone), even if it means paying out for other hot coffee settlements—of which there are plenty.

And she originally only asked for McDonald's to cover her medical expenses ($20k) which they refused.

I don't have much of an idea on if it was small but the movie Sunshine (2007) comes to mind. Loved that movie. It's well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

One of my favorites of all time. Never seen anything like it since.

A lot more tiktok for me. Say what you will of the platform, it's at the beginning of the enshittification spectrum and has a ton of original and interesting content.

I do use Lemmy every day too tho.

Glad to see more reporting on this. The way they swapped out Roiland's voice in Solar Opposites was absolutely perfect, it really hasn't lost anything imo.
