TIL Alice Walton (Walmart heir) killed a pedestrian in a driving accident and was never charged. She has also been arrested for DUI twice but never charged.

The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It’s that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

Rules (interactive)

:::

:::spoiler Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

:::spoiler Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 7- You can’t harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

TIL how to enable the new Explore Logs app for #loki . Turns out the latest versions of Loki and #grafana don't work with it yet, so you have to specify the right versions and change a few other things in the Docker Compose config. It's so cool that this is open source and not Cloud-only....
