  1. What's wrong with Wilonsky?
  2. It is possible that a media source with an agenda remains factual. Who'da thunk it?
  3. @Chief Ouray Allow me to explain. First, everything in that policy is a well-documented, factual, and valid criminal justice concern. Really every prosecutor should bear every one of those things in mind in every case s/he handles. Prosecutors have a tendency to become self-righteous and/or play the "win game." Anything that's a reminder that criminal justice is not all about wins and losses is a huge plus. And, one of the huge problems here in the US, where we incarcerate more people both gross and per capita than any place in the world is a neglect of the fact that most of these people are going back into society at some point. All-prison all-the-time ignores that immutable fact. Most of all, it doesn't set any bright line rules. When filtered through the usual prosecutor mentality, you're gonna get the same result most of the time.
  4. Despite the lack of MD, she seems to be alright.
  5. One thing all of this Whiskey Pete warfighter shit ignores is that a good half or more the business of any decent army (or navy) is logistics: getting fuel, food, and weapons to the forces.
  6. Yikes, sorry to hear. Did he have a will? Was he traveling or domiciled in S. Korea?
  7. Hogg Auditorium showed a lot of flicks.
  8. You're not wrong, whatever its origins, it has acquired that spelling and meaning. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/to-the-manner-born.html
  9. I really don't have a single problem with that.
  10. And guess whose cars won't be bought by anyone else in the world.
  11. It had already been reported that when Meta went fishing for training material, it used torrents and bootleg websites to download pirated/infringing copies in a knowing fashion. That has not been reported in connection with any of the other AI training infringement cases.
  12. And. https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/register-your-vehicle
  13. The problem with statutory damages is that the Copyright must be registered prior to the commencement of infringement, which is often not the case. Meta seems to have been exceptionally brazen in their infringement for training purposes.
  14. So Trump, via Lutnick, is proposing a patent tax based on their value for deficit reduction. https://ipwatchdog.com/2025/07/28/purported-plan-charge-patent-owners-percentage-patent-value-fraught-peril/id=190705/ As patent blogger Prof. Dennis Crouch says "trading innovation policy for deficit reduction." First, an infinitesimally small percentage of patents generate revenue and even then valuation is a hazardous proposition and not something USPTO or Department of Commerce is well-positioned to do. Just idiocy.
  15. What appears to be an actual narrow neck makes me think cottonmouth. But nerodia can do one hell of a cottonmouth imitation when they flatten their heads.
  16. Well said. This notion has been percolating just under my cortex for some time.
  17. There's a note about the colors, but not the whole thing.
  18. Probably worth pointing out that her petition for certiorari, the main brief, was filed April 10. The government delayed responding until July, making that, her REPLY brief due two weeks later, or today.
  19. Those far exurbs are still rurals at heart
  20. All the train/station/portal shit in volume 3 is getting on my last nerve. I still like the story arc and the characters, but that plot device is an absolute beating and I don't think very well written or explained.
  21. Yeah, ya old fucking asshole, use that internet to check some prices and news outside of Cali. Fucking dumbfuck.
  22. The Non-Prosecution Agreement
  23. Frau Von Der Leyen is a generation older than Tulsi and far more accomplished in every way (privileged too).
  24. Imagine being a female stateswoman/politician who fought all kinds of adversity and basically had to be twice as good as any "comparable" man and have to listen to that stupid, unserious fucking pig as the "leader of the free world."
  25. Well, as to 2), the OU spy was not DC Larry Lacewell, but was arranged by Larry Lacewell. And Lacewell was on Chuck Fairbanks' staff before Switzer came. But he followed Switzer to the Cowboys, so he was pretty firmly a Switzer guy. I was wrong about that, he was with the Cowboys under Johnson and stuck under Switzer.
