Mr. Nice! posted:Popehat is completely right. State attorneys are very different than federal attorneys for both civil and criminal law. In the civil world, a lot of attorneys that only practice state law get chewed the gently caress up in federal court because the places are just functionally different. Similarly, federal attorneys that come to state courts can often get hometowned in hearings. You got back into lawyering? I thought you quit that to run a taco truck.

A Bad Poster posted:I was under the impression that the Rock was a Republican in precisely the same way that Schwarzenegger is, but I can't back that up with anything. He was a registered Republican before Obama was elected, he voted for Obama twice, and I'm not sure who he voted for between Clinton and Trump, but given his rather public disdain for Trump, I don't think he voted for him. Currently supposedly he's an independent voter. Basically he was a pre-Obama Republican but when the Black guy got elected president and the entire GOP's brains broke collectively, he said "aight imma head out" and has been independent or liberal since then. orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Aug 4, 2020 |

Republicans picked that hill to die on before they would agree to changing the flag. All flag submissions must have "In God we trust" on them, and the final flag must have it prominently because they don't believe in the separation of church and state.

Gonna take a wild guess that anyone who was closer than that freeway is likely in very small pieces if not literally dust on the wind. In order to do that kind of damage that was at least 40 psi of overpressure in the area. Anyone that close was probably just snuffed out. Pretty sure above 40psi (easy way to tell is was the shockwave visible, because that means the air is moving at or above the speed of sound) you just die, especially if you were in the open or didn't have reinforced concrete between you and the blast.

Gonna lean on the side of this being fake. Flight tracker says flights are going in and out of BEY at a normal volume. This level of damage would definitely have halted flights for several days while they make the airport safe for passengers.

I always find myself praying for the latter. mustard, relish, onions, chili, and cheese are the only acceptable condiments for hot dogs.

Midjack posted:H-D is deliberately running themselves into the ground. Their CEO a couple of years ago (now forced out) noticed they were running out of people to sell bikes to and proposed a strategy to make different types of bikes in an attempt to appeal to new groups and markets outside the US. In February, some mutual fund nerds that own 2% of H-D agitated to get some new directors and they forced the CEO out and returned their strategy to focus on their core riders. Stock price naturally went up by 20% after that. I mean 20% of 30 bucks still don't get them to where the old CEO had them lol. If zoomers and millenials don't go out and buy gigantic bikes from Harley, they're gonna be a penny stock inside a couple years, especially as the boomer die-off accelerates.

Naramyth posted:Hank’s audio is kind of bad but he’s so drat charming it doesn’t matter. It’s a fun listen. He literally imitates the sonar noises that sonar techs were trained on in the 40s, because he listened to the old training records to learn about what the convoy escort crews had. He does a pretty good impersonation of a single screw sub at 14 knots lol. I also love how Tom explains how he gets the point across when dealing with unfamiliar terminology the movie audience might not understand, he used a good example from Apollo 13, with the term gimbal lock and how it would mean a loss of the inertial navigation system in the spacecraft. They never defined what it was and trusted the audience to figure out how serious it was, just emphasized that it was an extremely bad thing to happen via the tone of the dialog. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Aug 14, 2020 |

The eloi didn't understand technology or understand anything about the morlocks other than that they came out at night and if you were caught out you would disappear.

MrMojok posted:Never, ever forget this. They have known full well what Trump was, longer than the general public has. They knew what he was, when they voted to acquit. They knew the types of things he was likely to do, and they don't get to try and distance themselves from Trump now, or ever. That would require Democrats to collectively grow a spine and call Republicans on their poo poo, and hopefully force the party to break down while they're the minority by passing legislative reforms that prevent the Republican strategy of governing from the minority position by holding the country hostage and using the other party as a shield from blowback.

Internet Wizard posted:Because you’re ignoring the part where she defended what she did by saying the men were “willing” and “aware” after she drugged them. She didn't slip roofies in their drink at the club and then take their cash, she stole their money when they thought they were going to get some tail from a woman who was hard up for money to put food on the table and keep a roof over her head. When you're poor like that you do what you need to do to survive. They were willing and aware that they were gonna get some tail. What they got was an empty wallet and no tail. I mean, I'd love to see the police report for that, "I propositioned a stripper for sex in exchange for cash(which is illegal), and then when we went to the hotel room, she drugged my drink and stole my wallet!" Gotta say though, she's quite lucky she didn't get shot by a vengeful dude after he woke up.

Grip it and rip it posted:What exactly are you describing here? Is this what you thought the Obama administration was? I mean that's what the Obama administration was, Democrats at the federal level trying to compromise with Republicans by abandoning progressive positions, and Republicans saying "gently caress you and the horse you rode in on" while dropping racist dogwhistles as well as drumming up support at the local level to take over state legislatures and governorships, gerrymander, and pack the circuit courts with conservative judges. Yes, that is precisely what I'm describing. Democrats need to capture enough seats that they can ignore the Republican members of congress, and ram through stuff that allows them to actually govern without fear of being held up by conservatives trying to block poo poo, i.e. getting rid of the legislative filibuster so that they can proceed with votes without needing 66 people in Congress to end the filibuster. Right now, Republicans are still able to control legislature as a minority party in the Senate by simply hopping up on the podium and reading Green Eggs and Ham, for as long as they want. (they're currently a majority, but that's exactly what they did when Obama and the Democrats controlled the Senate and House during his presidency) orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Aug 18, 2020 |

facialimpediment posted:The one major quibble I have with your righteous anger is that the Democratic Party of 2009 isn't the Democratic Party of 2020. The 2009 Democrats were much, much more conservative than they are now. Pelosi had to absolutely slam the ACA through the House, and got it through 220–215, with THIRTY NINE Democrats voting against it. Her majority had a fuckton of those Blue Dog conservative Democrats at the time and they were adamant that they wanted Republican buy-in. I would argue that if that particular bill got more liberal, needing the death of the filibuster in the Senate, Pelosi would've lost too many members in the House to make any use of it. I won't hold my breath on Blue Dogs deciding to help the rest of the Democratic party kneecap the Republicans. There's still 26 of them in the House, also, the Republican party is clogged up with Trump bootlickers, so the Blue Dog Coalition will have plenty of fresh blood (Never-Trumpers) for collective "hmmmm"-ing about whether or not to allow Black people to vote. orange juche fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Aug 18, 2020 |
