Legally you're correct, but bartenders don't exactly have the resources or legal authority to take people's keys or drive them home and put them to bed.
Dram shops laws establish liability in scenarios like this and as a rule, they're very old and haven't been updated in forever (think like prohibition). Many places they establish liability even when someone is responsibly served and later continues drinking.
I hate them. Legal liability for other people's actions should not exist.

That's what I'm saying, mag size limits are incredibly dangerous to hunters if they're hunting a boar, cuz it's not just the size of the bullet but if you can even hit it in the first place. I saw a video of an Italian hunter shooting one with shotgun slugs, only allowed a mag size of 3+1, shot all her shots at it and it was STILL charging her

People who continue to serve someone who is in no condition to make a rational judgment alcohol for the purpose of profit deserve to be held liable for their grossly negligent actions. People like you pretend like that also somehow means that the person who drank the alcohol is now completely absolved of all responsibility.
No. Everyone involved was at fault to some degree. It's up to the courts to figure out exactly where that fault lies. A lot of people go through life thinking that fault is some kind of 100% 0% fault lies. A lot of people go through life thinking that fault is some kind of 100% 0% game.
And that's an absurdly childish and uselessly simplistic way of looking at things in a situation like this.
People hear that a company might be liable for gross negligence and they like to puff up their chest and act all self-righteous and loudly declare that no one is held responsible for their own actions anymore and it's just the dumbest shit.
Stop.

Those laws were put into effect right after prohibition. They create extremely broad liability where there's often little or no control.
And God forbid someone face the consequences of their own actions.

Not at all. I think the person you relied to might just be an alcoholic who always just gets their keys taken away at a bar their a regular at lol.

Amen friend. The most advance piece of tech in my house is my PS5 and I'm always making sure to turn off the mic in the controller. Last thing I need is Sony spying on me.

A backup camera doesn’t have anything to do with IoT or really anything you wrote at all.

Cows burp out their emissions anyway. With 4 stomachs gas doesn't go through the entire digestive system, so it vents out the mouth instead.
So no matter what, no, they could never make it airtight without killing the cow.

It is a bullshit article but if it were real, I imagine there would be a substance in the diaper that would bond to the methane before it is escapes to atmosphere. Even without being airtight, that would cut emissions.
But it is fake.

If Dante were still alive, he’d have added another circle of Hell for news reporters delivering fake news.
These people seem to be having a great time earning a paycheck but they do more damage to society than a serial killer.

AI art tools will only make this low effort type of graphic higher quality. For God’s sake give the cow some dignity and at least have a harness and a gas canister with a cyberpunk flair to it!

Changed hands multiple times between 2012 (install) and 2021 (now Reflex). That’s 9 years (or ~10 depending on specific months).
The two years is 2021 until now while they’ve identified solution and then been waiting for parts.

Yep. Also a former bartender here. If I served someone who was obviously drunk I could be held liable for what they did when they left the bar. But I believe there would have to be witnesses that the drunk was falling down or stumbling, slurring, etc. and I served them anyway. There was a regular customer who spent six months in jail after his sixth DUI and the night he got out he stumbled into the bar and asked for a scotch rocks. I told him I wasn't serving him because he was too drunk and he responded "No, it's OK. I quit driving." So he had his priorities all set.
