You weren't alone in being confused by that. My initial thought is that she'd tied bones to the back of his trousers like the cans behind a 'just married' car

The suffering is the point.

Took me a minute to track it down. It was her bachelorette party.

Fwiw, I watched the show and needed it explained anyway

The implication is that the complainant is in an airport, and airports use PA announcements for things - in this case, trying to get some logic to the complainant so they understand that the airplane bathrooms are also 'all gender' and their complaint isn't logical

It happens regularly. The most notable 'tidy' example I can think of would be when the Governments of US and Canada 'bailed out' General Motors. They did exactly what I'm talking about; they created a new legal entity called NGMCO Inc. which purchased almost all the Assets of the 'old' GM, including trademarks, names, websites, etc.

The key here is that the selling company was bankrupt. In such a case, the creditors want to try to get money back out of their 'investment' so the asset sale is done to cover debts. Selling liabilities generally doesn't raise money for those creditors, so often after the money is all sucked out, whatever remaining liabilities exist are functionally void. Legally they remain until the corporation is dissolved, but with no ability to act on the liabilities (ie., no money to pay) this doesn't functionally matter.

The 'old' GM changed it's name to 'Motors Liquidation Company' and retained the liabilities. Shareholders of the 'old' GM were left holding the bag, so to speak. Technically, it was further split into trusts to 'handle' liabilities, but realistically 'old' GM sputtered out holding liabilities while 'new' GM carried on with minimal penalty.

You can have less 'tidy' cases as well, where substantial parts of a company are sold in an asset sale/purchase but leave behind a working company. In those cases the liabilities are not functionally abandoned. Disney purchasing FOX, for example.

Quickly! Grab my strong arm!

This is the exact reason GM still exists.

If the new owners purchased the assets, name, and technology and not the company itself, then it's beholden on the remains of the old company to honour the deal... Good luck with that.

Hold up - they participated in the protest? Or they showed up and required a tour of the facility, which is their right as federal lawmakers?

What I saw indicated only the latter? Did they actually participate in the protest?

I've got an old HP all-in-one I've considered strapping a GPU to for some encoding tasks (plex / frigate) but also for shits and giggles.

I did this with a prodesk 600g1. Apart from the hole in the lid, no changes required to the system. (Stock bios, etc.) It does require a separate power supply for the GPU, but it works. I ran it for a while as a portable gaming desktop (switched out the 4130T for a 4770) and it - to my surprise, worked well.

Maybe I'm thick, but what's the benefit for them in moving from self hosted to MSFT hosted?
