  1. Wonder what would have happened had you been caught getting a beej? Or in flagrante delicto.
  2. Ok great. But civilized countries use diplomacy to solve those problems. And, I think you're using history to whitewash Putin's imperialistic motives. Further, at some point, history goes out the window and you just have to deal with facts on the ground.
  3. Biden promoted Caine from Major General to Lieutenant General in 2021. Also, Brown himself was appointed Chief of Staff of USAF by Trump in 2020.
  4. Well, his typical complaint against "neocon foreign policy" is leveled at US adventurism ostensibly in support of spreading democracy, nation-building, and the "rules based world order." This seems a valid criticism as the adventurism often leads to great loss of life among civilian/native populations and long-term resentment of the US. Not sure how any of that applies to Ukraine. The defense against Russia seems to be one of the most righteous wars fought since WWII anywhere on earth.
  5. It's proof positive, as if we need any more, that Elmo has no idea how to run or manage a business or the people in it. What did YOU do last week Elmo? Not bigballs or Jin Woo or your little turd acolytes, you personally.
  6. I think he's a good guy, personally, and a good judge. But his studied ignorance of matters technical is interesting. He must have hated undergrad.

    UK Patent Scam

    Some shady outfit in the UK/Europe is selling inventorship in designs (being named on a "patent") to East Asian academics, where being an "inventory" can mean career enhancement and bonuses. https://www.science.org/content/article/patent-mills-sell-scientists-inventorship-bizarre-medical-devices So, these patents, really industrial designs that are no more than a set of drawings depicting a design and protectingly only its appearance, are ostemsibly for "medical devices." And this is where the lulz come in. For example: DESIGNING AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POWERED SKIN CANCER INSPECTION DEVICE WITH DESIGN THINKING https://www.tmdn.org/tmdsview-web/#/dsview/detail/GB702023006323366-0001
  8. Yeah, pretty heinous. I guess he was an AM4 ackshually and, if he was a programmer type, maybe not really in line for advancement. But still, technicians make Sergeant all the time.
  9. Woof where is that?
  10. To be fair, looks like he was an ANG commander and IP, rather than like Hegseth.
  11. Motherfucker cannot stop lying. Caine was promoted to LTG in October 2021 on Biden's nomination. There's nothing obvious in his background that makes him a hack. Bit light on combat command. He is a chair force guy, so probably fundagelical, although he attended VMI not USAFA.
  12. He's a heavy hitter for sure. Some odd typos in that complaint, though. Including and especially the made up word "undoubtably" and a sentence fragment.
  13. Should have tagged you in, too. Device approval is already astonishingly slow to hear some of my clients tell it. This could put a hurtin on some folks with deep pockets.
  14. sudo bigballs chmod 777 *.* | rm -rf *.*
  15. DOGE firing people that aren't paid by taxpayers, notably at FDA. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-is-firing-federal-workers-who-are-not-funded-by-taxpayers-2025-02-21/ Gonna piss off some big boiz, methinks. @Murfdogg21 Stryker, Medtronic, Zimmer, Abbott.
  16. Man, Trump's association with Roy Cohn should have destroyed his aspirations for public office. Instead, we're going to let him eclipse Roy Cohn for worst American ever.
  17. There's still a normal, no matter how abnormal things become. Lose sight of that, and you've lost it all.
  18. That's not really the case. "Normally," the other side of the case would be all over that scientific falsity and the judge would be more like "the plaintiff here makes a valid point that the premise of the EO is scientifically incorrect."
  19. Just guessing her personal interests have led her to research the topic. Also, the government, particularly one as feckless as Trump's, but all of them, put DOJ attorneys in untenable positions all the time. The good ones, the ones Trump is running off, manage to navigate that with some dignity and candor. The Trump DOJ will not be able to pull that off.
  20. Yeah you don't think those motherfuckers aren't going to cook the books to send more checks with the shitgibbons' signature on them? They. Are. Going. To. Explode. The. Deficit. Like no one has ever seen before.
  21. I believe it is and she probably knows this regardless. Still, it is relatively uncommon for a federal judge to take an "independent" stance on scientific or technical issues before them. In most senses, this is a product of the adversarial system in which the facts are those produced by the parties in evidence before the court. Like juries are discouraged/forbidden from independently researching a case, so too do federal judges tend to avoid extrajudicial knowledge. The rules don't forbid it for judges and federal judges in particular have more freedom to do it and to comment on it in court, even before a jury. There's a judge in San Francisco/San Jose with a degree in math that is an amateur computer scientist who presided over Google v. Oracle and was openly independent and skeptical of some of the assertions of the parties there based on his own knowledge. More typical, though, is Chief Judge David Godbey of the ND Tex in Dallas, who has a BSEE but feigns not knowing what a transistor does.
  22. Posted elsewhere, but God help us. https://apnews.com/article/trrump-doge-checks-inflation-7fb8b5b004faecc213c325fcbafc7ee9 Could Trump really return DOGE savings to taxpayers? Really good piece discussing what DOGE cuts are actually doing relative to the overall spending picture.
  23. Actually, coming from a US District Judge, it is fairly shocking. Not that USDJs are ignoramuses or flat-earthers (at least most of them), it's just the "professional cabining" of them usually leads to a state of ignorance and a lack of confidence on matters scientific and technical, wherein they are reliant on the parties to educate them (even if they do happen to know something about the subject matter in question). Also. https://apnews.com/article/trrump-doge-checks-inflation-7fb8b5b004faecc213c325fcbafc7ee9 Fuck. Me. Running.
