What's kind of interesting is that the tradition of battleships lasted only about 50 years. Even if you expand the classification to powered, iron/steel hulled warships, it's 75 years, 100 at the outside.

Also a misdemeanor, which is uncommon in federal court and likely viewed by at least the judge and defense as a nuisance to be disposed of. And, in your typical, relatively complex federal prosecution, the prosecution has to do months or years of investigation, generating a bunch of evidence, most of which has to be given to the defendant and the defendant then has to have some time to go through it. Then you have your pretrial motions about whether the criminal statute really fits the offense and so on. Most federal crimes are not of the simple, common-law type like assault, burglary, rape, murder. Even in this case, though, it seems the defense did some pretty serious investigation to find that the agent had received gag gifts over it. Long story short, this has no business being in federal court and everyone knew it. What's interesting to me is that a DC jury took seven hours to acquit. That tells me that the jury took the case seriously despite being obviously political. It may have been a crazy holdout situation, but I think from the questions they sent the judge, they tried pretty hard to decide if the actions really fit the definition of the crime. Final note, everyone involved had some recognition that trial time in a US District Court is a rare and precious resource. The defense doesn't really care as long as it gets its trial sometime in the millennium, but the judge for sure and the prosecution, probably, care quite a bit that 2-4 days of precious trial time are taken up by unserious, political cases.

You really ought to put some of this down in a pro-forma. I think it would be your intention for the investors to decide what to do, but that could get hairy real fast.

Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
Yeah, Mace appears to be actually deranged and combines that with a tendency toward cuntiness. Cruz is 100% cuntiness, no mental health "excuses."

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Well, originally, it would have been in the hands of criminal investigators and then lawyers, who have various motivations not to leak or disclose, which is why we generally don't get a lot of deets on a criminal case until and unless people are charged. They just don't leak. But apparently now it is in the hands of Congressional committees, who leak like a sieve.

Klayman is famous for filing lawsuits and dropping them. He's an assclown.

Texas BBQ
With all due respect to the Sammy's folks, and they are good folks, they serve a shit ton of brisket with large quantities of unrendered or partially rendered fat. That's a cardinal sin to me. I only really ever ate at the OG Dickeys on Central and the OG Sonny Bryans on Inwood, both locations of which smoke meat on-premises (as opposed to their franchise locations that might as well use foil pans and liquid smoke). Neither are particularly great in comparison to the new order, but they aren't boiled brisket, either, and I've never had huge globs of unrendered fat. And El Fenix on McKinney opened in 1918. It's even older than El Chico. So, no, Sammy's is not equivalent to El Fenix.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. Present in 21% of high school football players. https://www.bu.edu/articles/2017/cte-former-nfl-players/ The main issue seems to be repetitiveness and hs players may not have had sufficient reps. And, while the permanent/temporary thing is true as far as it goes, it reflects a misunderstanding or failure to understand depression, suicidal ideation, and related mental health issues.

So, RD, I gather that you are quite the language savant. Why French (assuming here you were taking courses in French at the time)? Is it more of a "key" to "Romance languages"? Love the armadillo character, too.

Sky news saying this is like Fox saying this, or Newsmax. Normally not credible, pretty credible on this. Oh, damn, wrong about this. Thought it was Brit version of Sky AU, which it is/was, but has escaped the clutches of Murdoch and is now legit.

UPS Airlines crash on take off at Louisville Airport.
I'd guess catastrophic failure in the compressor section that blew or sawed off the front of the engine.

I might tend to call that more than a "piece of cowling." That seems to include a sizable chunk of the compressor intake.
