He has a large platform, and his audience is probably more likely to support Trump than Harris. So, him endorsing RFK is taking votes from Trump and helping Harris win the election.

Again, I'm just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.

That's where I disagree, spreading misinformation as scientific fact causes people to lose trust in health authorities, and it fuels things like the anti-vax movement and flat earthers. The ends don't justify the means.

Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.

True, but I don't think that's the case here.

A lot of that was exaggerated. 7 minutes per puff really doesn't sound realistic. But since it convinced people to stop smoking I guess everyone agreed that some misinformation was OK?

Since this lawsuit only represents Texas, does it make it easier for people in other states to sue them for the same thing?

You can take the train all the way to Venice, you don't need to fly.

There aren't any alternatives that follow the RPi's original mission, they're all for-profit. And I'm not sure you'll find a more affordable board than the $15 Pi Zero 2.
