Remote Surveillance Trailer in Burns, OR

Skiing injuries are relatively commonplace, but one generally expects the danger to be contained to the slopes. However, one family is suing a California ski resort for an injury inflicted in a resort’s cafe – by a cup of hot chocolate.

The lawsuit, obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, was filed in El Dorado County Superior Court. In it, Brittany Burns and Joshua Moran Burns allege that negligence on the part of a service worker at Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe led to their young daughter being scalded with the aforementioned hot beverage.

The incident occurred two years ago, when Brittany Burns was skiing at the Vail-owned resort with her five-year-old daughter. On a break between runs, they visited the resort’s Sky Deck cafe. There, the suit alleges that a server slid a hot chocolate directly to the daughter without a lid, and when she took a drink, the “excessively and unnecessarily hot” liquid spilled inside her ski suit.

“She suffered bad burns down her chest and abdomen,” said Roger Dreyer, a personal injury attorney representing the Burns family. “Now she has permanent scars.”

The Burns family is seeking damages for medical expenses, “past and future income and/or earning capacity loss,” “past and future physical and mental suffering,” and “loss of enjoyment in life.”

This is not the first time a lawsuit has been filed to seek damages for injuries sustained due to a hot drink. Perhaps the most famous example is the 1994 lawsuit Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants, in which 79-year-old Stella Liebeck was awarded $2.7 million in punitive damages after a jury found McDonald’s liable for injuries she sustained after spilling hot coffee on herself.

In a durability test by Zack Nelson, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra proved highly durable. Its screen, protected by Corning Gorilla Armor 2, resisted scratches until level 6–7, survived a flame test, and the phone passed the bend test without flexing.

The time has come for JerryRigEverything’s Galaxy S26 Ultra durability test. Zack, the owner of the channel, managed to get his hands on the device, and he released a durability test video on YouTube.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra gets tortured to prove how durable it is

The video itself has a duration of over 8 minutes, and in it, he does his standard durability tests, along with some additional tests specific to this phone. That includes a closer look at the S Pen (after he snapped it in half), a closer look at the phone’s display, and so on.

Let’s take things one step at a time, though. First, he decided to snap the S Pen in half to give us a closer look at its internals. He also talks about how inferior this S Pen is to some of the previous iterations, which is something we talked about a number of times thus far.

The phone’s display is protected by Gorilla Armor 2. In Zack’s scratch test, the display did scratch with a level 6 pick, but only barely. The scratches are properly visible on a level 7, which is great.

He also scratched the phone’s frame and buttons, just to prove that they’re made out of metal. It’s aluminum this time around, compared to titanium that Samsung used last year.

As per usual, Zack also decided to hold the display under a lighter flame, which took around 20 seconds to do some damage, but not permanent damage. As soon as he removed the lighter, the display’s pixels went back to normal.

The ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner managed to work even after the glass was scratched, so no worries there. Even if you manage to scratch it, it will work just fine.

And then there comes a bend test. That’s usually the most popular part of Zack’s durability tests. The only Samsung phone that failed this test is the Galaxy Z TriFold, which is understandable.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra did great in the bend test, as it did not flex at all, which goes for putting pressure on it from both the front and the back.

The group that brought the world “Master of Puppets” just pulled some strings.

Less than a week after announcing their Las Vegas Sphere ‘Life Burns Faster’ residency, Metallica has added six dates to their Sin City run due to overwhelming demand.

They now have 14 concerts at the visually-spectacular venue.

Their new gigs— which take place over three “no repeat weekends” where they will play shows on Thursday and Saturdays with no overlap whatsoever — are scheduled to go down:

8:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m.

Metallica’s eight other Sphere concerts are slated for Oct. 1-31 of this year.

According to a press release, the Rock Hall of Famers’ residency will consist of “live staples and surprises spanning the Metallica catalogue enhanced by the venue’s immersive technologies that will allow fans to experience the sound and fury of the band’s live performance in new experiential dimensions.”

Ahead of this highly-anticipated stint on the Strip, Metallica took their “no repeat weekend” shows on tour all over North America from 2023-25 as part of their ‘M72 Tour’ in support of their 2023 album with the same name.

“During [their] performance [of “Enter Sandman”], 60,000 excited fans in the stadium created so much commotion and excitement that, using the Richter scale, a 1.5 magnitude tremor,” WKNC noted in a review of the band’s May 2025 concert in Blacksburg, VA.

We can’t wait to see what they bring to Sphere.

A ‘Life Burns Fast Faster’ fan club pre-sale for the new dates starts March 4 at 10 am PT. At the time of publication, pre-sales for the original dates are live.

Tickets officially go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 6 at 10 am PT through Ticketmaster — following a number of presales — but are available now on trusted secondary market sites like Vivid Seats.

We only recommend sites with a 100% buyer guarantee, so you know your transaction is safe and your tickets will arrive on time.

Metallica new music

On April 14, 2023, Metallica dropped their 11th studio album “72 Seasons.”

The thrumming, high-velocity record quickly sets the tone with the non-stop thrill ride title track and then refuses to let up throughout its healthy 77-minute runtime.

Indisputable highlights include the snaking “Sleepwalk My Life Away,” nakedly raw “You Must Burn!” and unrelenting “Lux Æterna.” Don’t expect a second to breathe; Metallica goes hard the entire time with nary a moment to rest. Just the way it should be.

To hear for yourself, you can listen to “72 Seasons” here.
