  1. UT used to have a similar rule, I don't see one now.
  2. Come to think of it, I'm not sure a judge is even going to release grand jury information. So this is all theater where Trump can blame another danged ol judge. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_6

  4. Yeah on KERA this morning they mentioned a $2.7M annual shortfall. Have to think that's a relatively small portion of their budget.
  5. Imagine that's true, because it wasn't necessary to name names to indict Epstein or Maxwell. It might get interesting to release transcripts where a grand jury no-billed someone like Trump if that happened. Or they presented evidence but ultimately no indictment. But the likelihood of a judge releasing that is zilch unless that person is long dead. But, if you're going to do some allegedly transparent data dump on Epstein, grand jury transcripts would seem to be a pretty key part of that.
  6. Yeah, there is some evidence that Trump was far more articulate in his younger years before the spirochetes got to his brain. Probably also applies to the signature.
  7. That's what I was driving at earlier. Had there not been the relationship between the parties, would have been an interesting question whether the Verve's sample would have infringed the original work. And one thing to always bear in mind in music copyright cases: the owner of the rights is often not the artist/authors, its a manager or record company, so not legally the same entity and often quite or completely "factually" independent (meaning doesn't need and doesn't have the blessing of the artists). The usual division is that the artists often own the "composition" copyrights (words and music), while a manager or record company owns the rights to the performance/sound recording. But that can vary quite a lot.
  8. Solid work. Pretty impressive. Are you a dirthead? And, yeah generally agree on the floodplain issue. In this particular context, it seems rather self-serving in retrospect. And, while the structure/area removal is objectively supplying data to replace FEMA's estimations, I still consider that advocacy. The data should be pretty objective and FEMA should be well-positioned to take issue with it if it is false or mischaracterized, Stranger things happen with government agencies.
  9. What about the Biden administration makes you think they'd do that? Particularly the Department of Justice? Releasing pre- or post-indictment/conviction investigation information is not normal and is against DOJ policy, as well as most state prosecuting authorities. If anything the Biden/Garland DOJ was too bound by norms. For there to have been an unauthorized leak, the information likely would have had to be outside the DOJ, ie in Congress, but it wasn't.
  10. I believe this was 100% Klein's doing and once the actual authors learned of it, did the right thing, possibly after reacquiring rights from Klein, as often happens wi superstars. That's why I put "the Stones" in quotes.
  11. To be fair, that doesn't really look like his signature. But it has changed quite a bit or varies quite a bit.
  12. Well, if he's on coumadin/warfarin, which seems likely, that's kind of possible. As I get older things make fucked up looking spots, but things like cat scratches and bushes from MTB trails, not handshakes.
  13. Interesting, who did it? Also, it appears that those floodplain "values" are based on Mystic's "appeals," rather than the floodplain initially established by FEMA. But, who's "right" on that is not a simple answer. FEMA's is pretty much a "SWAG," while Mystic's data is "site-specific," although tailored to a desired result, i.e. advocacy. The negligence case may be harder to establish than initially thought, and I think we know from prior litigation that a Kerr County jury is very sympathetic to the local Eastlands.
  14. Weird, cheap-looking shoes, too. Maybe his "fat shoes." Also, not all venous insufficiency is caused by DVT. Dammit. Because DVT can be a killer. And, I believe treatment for DVT often includes blood thinners, which can make one susceptible to fatal brain bleeds in the event of a fall or head injury.
  15. How the fuck do you know JD? You were a jarhead in the rear with the gear at the time.
