  1. Good thing there are 34 counts. I don't think any of it is getting an acquittal, but if I'm wrong, I don't think it knocks more that a couple out (and that might be a stretch).
  2. I'm guessing the only way we get to acquittal on a count is if (1) Merchan decides there evidence used to support a count against amounts to evidence of an "official act" and (2) the fact that such an "official act," if any, cannot be used to support the case for a "guilty" finding on that count, with consideration given to the remaining, supporting evidence, renders the evidence on that count to be legally insufficient (findings of legal insufficiency results in acquittal under the Jackson v. Virginia standard.
  3. Oh, for sure. I've been using sil-pats under my pans since Day 1.
  4. A guy I used to work with had a nice Breville semi auto in his office. It made a pretty good cup. I don't remember the brand, but I got this tamper with a force gauge clicker in it back when we had a semi auto. It worked well and took the guess work out of that step, although the freshness of the roast and the grind were the biggest game changers.
  5. It's from the 2016 suit in NY accusing Trump of sexual assault. Somehow it was a civil case, if I recall. The plaintiff dropped the suit and seemingly disappeared. These allegations are from the 80s I believe.
  6. You don't see this too much, but I'd pay a shiny nickle to watch proceedings on a motion to have him declared a vexatious litigant. Yeah, it might not do anything in criminal proceedings. But surely there are some civil trilas in his future.
  7. I think it has to do with the fact that he cut one of the checks to reimburse Cohen after he was President. It's a stupid argument, if that's the argument. The SCOTUS said "official acts" can't go to prove unofficial acts or some such. So they'll roll with it to run the clock. I could be wrong. I've been busy and haven't kept much of an eye on it.
  8. I agree . . . in theory. But if anything that comes out of his mouth while giving a speech (as President) is an official act, the pucker factor for me is high to quite high.
  9. That's probably the most messed up part (which says a lot). Is cutting a hush-money check to a porn start exercising executive power because he was sitting in the Oval Office? Seems like a really dumb question to me, but what the hell do I know?
  10. Maybe I missed it upthread, but is this for Turkish Coffee, espresso, French press, or . . . ?
  11. That was definitely part of our discussion. Cancun seems less fun with the beaches wrecked, a bunch of people stranded, and no power.
  12. I have a friend who is supposed to be flying into Cancun for a wedding on 7/4. I told him that flight was quite unlikely to happen, regardless of what the airline was telling him today.
  13. I'm gonna say it, that grinder is a handsome. Looks well thought-out.
  14. It's a holistic review. Not just class rank. I mean, it's a holistic review to get your major in liberal arts even if you are auto-admit. Spend a lot of time on the essays.
  15. I was going to mention La Tapatia and La Mexicana in the Montrose both used to do this.
  16. The picture isn't the best, but this is Roy Choi's Korean short rib stew, and it's good.
  17. Terry Black's may be the sweet spot for quality/short wait BBQ. I've never been disappointed at the Deep Ellum location.
