  1. I would like him to receive the apocryphal Edward II treatment.
  2. M/a/w. And, although it was a misinterpretation on my part, in this instance, "w" stands for whore.
  3. So, the question no one is asking. We paid Naive Bukkake $6M to house 250 prisoners for four months?
  4. Some time after online payment, you get a receipt that they expressly tell you is good for proof of registration.
  5. Well, because no federal court of appeals or SCOTUS has conclusively ruled that roasting a suspect on hot asphalt is unconstitutional, qualified immunity will get them off.
  6. I believe, but this is stale knowledge, that providers retain actual texts for 60-90 days, which isn't useful for most litigation time-frames, but might be.
  7. What's wrong with Wilonsky?
  8. It is possible that a media source with an agenda remains factual. Who'da thunk it?
  9. @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.
  10. Despite the lack of MD, she seems to be alright.
  11. 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.
  12. Yikes, sorry to hear. Did he have a will? Was he traveling or domiciled in S. Korea?
  13. Hogg Auditorium showed a lot of flicks.
  14. 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
  15. I really don't have a single problem with that.
  16. And guess whose cars won't be bought by anyone else in the world.
  17. 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.
  18. And. https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/register-your-vehicle
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Well said. This notion has been percolating just under my cortex for some time.
  23. There's a note about the colors, but not the whole thing.
