Is there anyone on mastodon who works in life insurance in the US?
It was suggested on another platform that all protesters should take out life insurance policies to force discovery if there is lethal violence by ICE/law enforcement. The idea is that federal agencies would not be able to cover up murder because insurance companies have their own investigators.
Would this work?
TIA for boosting.

In recent years, most insurance has seen a wave of consolidation by the fossil fuel industry to forestall climate change litigation.
There are too few independent underwriters willing to go against fossil fuel billionaires funding Trump’s fascist hijack.
The insurance companies would offer settlements quickly to quash depositions.

@jblue Probably the life insurance policies of today have similar exemptions to the life insurance policies of the 1970s. Every policy I've ever read included wording to exclude acts of war and stuff like that. It's not as good of an idea as you think it is.

I once sued an insurance company through their client. Two years building up the trial and at least $250K on my part for witnesses and documentation and my lawyers were heavily invested too. $65K settlement and my lawyer cut me a check for $5K. The insurance companies absolutely did litigate to make sure it was very expensive for us. That is their standard procedure, to make sure we hurt.

@dianea thank you for sharing. I’m very sorry this happened to you. 🫂

Most policies would not cover the deaths of protesters.

@jblue usually there are clauses about law enforcement, govt actions. -

Print-in-Place Gripper Does It With a Single Motor
[XYZAiden]’s concept for a flexible robotic gripper might be a few years old, but if anything it’s even more accessible now than when he first prototyped it. It uses only a single motor and requires no complex mechanical assembly, and nowadays 3D printing with flexible filament has only gotten easier and more reliable.
The four-armed gripper you see here prints as a single piece, and is cable-driven with a single metal-geared servo powering the assembly. Each arm has a nylon string threaded through it so when the servo turns, it pulls each string which in turn makes each arm curl inward, closing the grip. Because of the way the gripper is made, releasing only requires relaxing the cables; an arm’s natural state is to fall open.
The main downside is that the servo and cables are working at a mechanical disadvantage, so the grip won’t be particularly strong. But for lightweight, irregular objects, this could be a feature rather than a bug.
The biggest advantage is that it’s extremely low-cost, and simple to both build and use. If one has access to a 3D printer and can make a servo rotate, raiding a junk bin could probably yield everything else.
DIY robotic gripper designs come in all sorts of variations. For example, this “jamming” bean-bag style gripper does an amazing, high-strength job of latching onto irregular objects without squashing them in the process. And here’s one built around grippy measuring tape, capable of surprising dexterity.

3 February 1916 | Italian Jew, Alberto Cassin, was born in Busca.
He was deported to #Auschwitz from Fossoli on 22 February 1944.
He did not survive.
