    Bad News: Martin Shkreli raises price of antiparasitic drug Pyrimethamine from $13.50 to $750 a tablet

    Good News: Gets to spend 7 years in prison for fraud related to hedge fund, cries in court while delivering apology.

    An article last year that has some transcripts of the jury selection process for Shkreli, over 200 jurors were excused:
    https://harpers.org/archive/2017/09/public-enemy/
    the court: All right. I’m going to excuse you. Juror Number 59, come on up.

    juror no. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —

    the court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?

    juror no. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.

    the court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.

    juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.
    The Court wrote:
    The question is, have you heard anything that would affect your ability to decide this case with an open mind. Can you do that?
    I don’t think I can because he kind of looks like a dick.

    The whole transcript is amazing.

    None of these people are wrong from what I've seen so far.

    While I agree with them in sentiment..

    The thing that everyone seems to forget now a days in the American justice system is that you are innocent until proven guilty, and being a shitbag asshole doesn't mean automatically guilty.

    So its good overall that all those people exposed themselves and got excused.

    I mean, the process of justice by jury is a complete joke anyway. These people are just the honest ones.

    I would disagree. I'm not Cornish or Devonian, but I'm of the opinion that cream on jam is the best way to do things. Allows you to have an even layer of jam over the whole scone before adding the cream. You don't really need to spread the cream - just blob it on top.

    Also that jam on top of the cream is just going to fall off the scone entirely.

    I would probably do cream (well, butter, because American) first, a thin layer before spreading the jam. If it isn't the first thing you eat of the meal, that jam will dry out the bread pretty damn quickly.

    Then again, that's based on experience with sandwich bread. A scone might not have that problem.

    Well you would put butter on first. That is kind of a given. In an afternoon tea setting you would normally apply the jam and cream yourself just prior to consumption.

    Scones are very different to bread. It's my understanding that they're a sweeter version of the American biscuits.

    I do not care whether you put butter or jam first on a scone. What a dumb discussion.

    The real concern is, are you using the same knife to spread the butter and the jam? Are you getting bits of jam in the butter? Are you getting bits of butter in the jam?

    People who contaminate foods by not using a fresh clean knife for every use are worse than Hitler.

    Isn't the devon vs cornwall really about aesthetics vs practicality.

    Yes. Jamfirst is more practical, since the jam is heavier and stickier, but cream first kind of maximizes the first taste sensation and looks prettier.

    Technically she's banned under the anti-terrorism laws for previously aiding in the distribution of hate speech.
    Like most of Europe people aren't banned for being despicable persons, they banned for doing despicable things.

    Not being familiar with the intricacies of cream tea I spent a lot of time last night thinking about this. First assumption was that jam is of the regular fruit preserve kind and cream is cream cheese. So cream cheese and jam on a bread product, not for me since I don't look cream cheese but I can understand it. Then I started thinking about it being on a scone and really started to wonder. Is this just fries/chips situation, different words for the same product, if so what's the American analog for scone. Is it something more akin to a biscuit here, because cream cheese and jam wouldn't be totally unheard of on a biscuit. But what if scones are the same there as here? I had a delicious lemon stawberry scone just yesterday and the thought that there's people throwing jam and cream cheese on something like that is both terrifying and very exciting.

    Let me stop you right there. The cream they're talking about it is clotted cream, which I've heard described as either the butteriest whipped cream, or the creamiest butter you've ever tasted. The Brits already think we're heathens for putting ice in tea, don't let them hear anything about putting cream cheese on a scone or there will be no end to their laughter.

    Bonus content: clotted cream is actually not hard to make, just time-consuming.

    No. While cream tea is callled tea it refers to the snack in total. Afternoon tea.

    The cream can go in the tea but it goes on the scone (which is the same as an American Scone but a different shape and usually with no stuffs in it).

    So when people refer to “eating cream tea” they’re referring to having a scone with cream and jam. No actual tea required.

    The poster was confused because “cream cheese and jam on a scone?!”* not understanding that the cream is actual cream

    *by the way the answer is “fuck yea gimme some heart disease”

    Edit: or was your post a subtle joke to make brits think we put jam in our tea by leaving out the jam in your confused is this a joke post?

    Cream cheese on a scone?!? I think I just threw up a little. Scones are the sweeter equivalent to an American biscuit (but not American, diabetes-inducing sweet). When I've spoken to Americans I've always got the impression you don't have actual scones in the US.

    Social standards dictate that milk goes in last, the reason being it prevents heat shock breaking the delicate china cups being used to drink the tea.

    Science now tells us that milk should go in first as this facilitates proper mixing and even heating of the milk. ISO 3103 suggests adding the milk first as well.

    I must admit that I'm a milk last kind of guy
