It would be somewhat more understandable if the shots had been taken from 500-1000 yards, actual sniper distances. SS might be excused for not securing a perimeter that far out. But 150 yards, on a building that is one of a half dozen surrounding the site, is grotesque negligence.

That's actually not representative of CR, at all.

Marc Elias vs. Christina Bobb? I like those odds.

Based on that, I might guess that you imported settings into the new Outlook and it brought along dumb authentication.

Also nasty that endnote 25 equates deposit insurance with bank bailouts. In a very broad sense, they are comparable; in any realistic sense (small-time individual who lacks information vs. professional financial institution with scads of information) it is a very invidious comparison and shows you what they're thinking.

Just for reference purposes (elaborating not disagreeing), that loneliness is often/usually/always accompanied by the feeling of "terminal uniqueness." That is, "I am alone, no one else is like this, no one has done what I've done," etc. So, yeah, reaching out to someone helps, but the great liberator of AA and other group therapies is to learn that your experience is by no means unique (and there are usually people a lot worse off than you; and that means more pre-alcoholic trauma, more character defects, worse drinking behavior and habits, in addition to having a lower bottom than you). Conquering that terminal uniqueness is one of the key barriers to recovery. This is the reason many/most sponsors and groups ask the newbs to read the individual stories at the back half of the Big Book and find one or two they identify with.

Here's an example of how subtle this is. These are the paragrapha about FDIC: The new Administration should establish a more streamlined bank and supervision by supporting legislation to merge the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Federal Reserve’s non-monetary supervisory and regulatory functions. U.S. banking law remains stuck in the 1930s regarding which functions financial companies should perform. It was never a good idea either to restrict banks to taking deposits and making loans or to prevent investment banks from taking deposits. Doing so makes markets less stable. All financial intermediaries function by pooling the financial resources of those who want to save and funneling them to others that are willing and able to pay for additional funds. This underlying principle should guide U.S. financial laws. Policymakers should create new charters for financial firms that eliminate activity restrictions and reduce regulations in return for straightforward higher equity or risk-retention standards. Ultimately, these charters would replace government regulation with competition and market discipline, thereby lowering the risk of future financial crises and improving the ability of individuals to create wealth. At p. 705. Ok, maybe. That last part looks like ibank thunderdome, though, in which unsophisticated investors (ie people with bank accounts) get turbofucked. But here's the kicker, 35 pages later in connection with monetary policy and the federal reserve, buried in an endnote: 24 Reforms should also strengthen the incentives of bank depositors (customers) and bank shareholders (owners) to monitor bank portfolios. Deposit insurance undermines the former, as even President Franklin Roosevelt recognized. Bailouts and last-resort lending undermine the latter. I dare you to ask any Trumpist, including those in Congress, how to "monitor bank portfolios" to protect your deposits. ETA: Shit, tell em to ask Jaime Dimon. I bet he couldn't tell you except after the fact.

Well, good thing this Court has created the roadmap for tossing precedents. 😬😬 I can't say you or brisket are wrong. But I think there are two views on it, upon which reasonable minds can differ.

That's possible, yes. Something much worse is also possible.

Want to let this Court decide what Clarence can and cannot be prosecuted for? It can always get worse.

When you say "Outlook In Office 365," do you mean an online client or the downloaded one? If downloaded, maybe uninstall it and delete the old config files, if you can find them, and reinstall. Online should take care of itself, but M$.

And that shitball, Trahan, made a DEI comment. Leopards. Eating. Faces.

Without provoking a constitutional crisis, no. And with a court that would establish very bad precedent on the separation of powers issue. There is a longer game here.

Assuming what the prosecutor said in court was true (which may or may not be a stretch), that is one of the less-egregious cases of misconduct I have seen/heard of. Of course, even if what she said was true, it is possible cops/investigators pulled some shenanigans.

Exactly right. In some respects, it is just a big government reform project and a lot of it sounds efficiency-driven. But when you look at the part that proposes replacing merit-based (more or less) civil servants with (christofascist) political hacks and then think about government reform from that perspective, it gets scary as fuck. It doesn't really get scary until you consider that the heads of agencies and their main chieftains will be Mike Johnsons, Mike Davises, Josh Hawleys, Johnny McEntees, etc.

Yes.

Before deregulation, Centerpoint, then known as Houston Power & Light, was a generator, transmission/distribution and retail electric provider. It was a public utility. Oncor, formerly Dallas Power & Light was the same. As public utilities, they were granted a statutory monopoly on their services in their service area. Both CP and Oncor have been publicly traded and privately owned at various points prior to deregulation. That is somewhat anathema to the concept of a public utility. At deregulation, generation, transmission/distribution, and retail electric providers were separated. Oncor and Centerpoint maintained their monopolies, however. I'm not sure if it's still a statutory monopoly or just a practical one, as they own all the power lines and ain't no one gonna challenge them in that. So, they are privately owned** public utilities with a de jure or de facto monopoly and they therefore pretty much suck for everyone except their owners. **NB when I say "privately owned," I mean including publicly traded, which is just a form of private ownership. Which is to be distinguished by owned by a public entity, as in Austin Energy. Private or public, they all have problems, but at least the real public utilities are ultimately answerable to the public.

Branding, my dude. Originally, trademarks were the symbol of the goodwill and reputation of the owner. Nowadays, it seems the branding, the trademark is an attempt to build the goodwill and reputation rather than symbolize it. But wtf is that wu tang shit on the right?

*hackles.

Given the King connection, it seems "crazy as a shithouse rat" would be the preferred terminology. RIP.

Just FYI, it was a public admonition for the opening two sentences. The Judicial Council recognized that: The vast majority of Judge Adelman’s article at issue here consists of substantive criticism of Supreme Court decisions. Those criticisms are well within the boundaries of appropriate discourse. https://www.wied.uscourts.gov/sites/wied/files/documents/judicial-conduct_2020%3A07-20-90046_90044.pdf

Let's go with box of rocks. Rocks have no feelings.

Like a lot of snakes, nerodia (common water snake of several varieties), can flatten its head so it looks like a pit viper sometimes. Distinguishing them from moccasins can be difficult. One of the key features I think is that most nerodia have a series of vertical lines or stripes on their lower jaw. Somewhat visible on the pic above, definitely so below. When they're that dark, muted color like above, they especially look like moccasins. And you may have to be danger close to tell the difference. The only thing that creeps me out about snek is that they are often so well camouflaged that they can really startle you by appearing seemingly out of nowhere. Those circumstances don't lend themselves to accurate id.

I see that place going from 183 down to River Legacy Park. That is one desolate strip of highway, that I assume caters to Bell Helicopter workers. I would also assume that the dancers were sea hags.
