Grand juries are usually formalities with a very low bar. There’s a phrase that you can indict a ham sandwich. Not getting a “true bill” is honestly an embarrassment that many prosecutors never see in their entire career.

I could have seen this get blocked here, but there are still many steps ahead, each will get harder to move forward with.

Fun fact: I just wrapped up a case as a juror (not a grand juror) this morning. We rendered a verdict of not guilty because there was plenty of reasonable doubt to be had.

My egg salad sandwich at a Colorado courthouse cafeteria yesterday did not have olives in it. I’m not sure I’ve seen that before. But I could totally see it, especially since I’ve seen an olive since garnish on a deviled egg which is basically egg salad with the white as a boat for the rest. That was probably in the Midwest

Not sure I agree with that. I’ll take an unexpected five bucks because of Red Bull’s false advertising that some ingredient doesn’t have literal energy (calories) to it. I wouldn’t start my own lawsuit over it, which may or may not be as successful. More importantly, every class action notice I’ve ever gotten had instructions to opt out and initiate my own legal action if I so choose. Also, if we’re talking about a class that includes thousands/millions of people, there are only so many lawyers involved in whatever specialty.

Tl;dr class actions penalize companies on behalf of those who wouldn’t realistically file their own lawsuit while still allowing those who would.

I wasn’t commenting on what should morally or legally be. I’m just saying that if there’s, say, 1 million plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit it’s not realistic to expect 3 million dollars (minus attorneys fees) in each person’s bank account. That would be 3 trillion dollars, not including whatever punitive damages end up being. There’s a practical issue to be considered.

I thought the same thing for a moment, until I realized that’s for one person. Now imagine a similar class action lawsuit. Of course it’s not realistic to expect that dollar amount multiplied by that many people, but it could be a pretty significant dent.

Another thing to check, do you pre-warm the bottle? If not, it will absorb the heat of (ie, cool down) the coffee as soon as you pour it in. But if you get scalding hot water from your faucet or a kettle, pour it in, wait a minute, and dump it you will have a warm bottle that won’t feel the need to take as much heat from the coffee.

Don’t forget about Tobler’s first law of geography.

Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things

Cultural patterns will generally follow migration of people, which will largely be localized, but of course there are exceptions in which case you can get some interesting blends.

I am honestly pleasantly surprised at everything the industry came up with in that generation, in hindsight. Maybe those kinds of games were a little overrepresented, but you still had Super Mario 64, Pilot wings, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Smash Bros (not fully 3D but that may be a good thing from a game play aspect), two Zelda masterpieces, Mario Party, some solid wrestling games, and a few Final Fantasy games (I never played them but I don’t think they’re shooters and definitely not racing games)

There were some flopped consoles just prior to the N64/PS1 like the Saturn and Atari Jaguar that probably helped the industry figure out what doesn’t work well in 3D gaming. Maybe they still had some stuff to figure out, but that was a pretty good era IMO.

Mmmk, better abandon this “money” experiment. Surprised it only lasted thousands of years, but I’m sure human nature will adapt

As Noem is doing now.

I suppose, but if you want to keep the nuance, the kid is a teenage girl, Jeremy is the boyfriend, and Jacob is hella gay and the parents have said they don’t care. One kid explicitly not having a condition (the second bill specifically said it’s not subject to those conditions) doesn’t mean the other magically went away

To my understanding (not saying I agree with it, just trying to make the logic understood for awareness)…

• Congress passed a law allocating funding, but also requiring access for Congressional inspections without notice

• More funding was later allocated, and it explicitly was not conditioned on access for inspections

• Noem took that to mean allowing inspections without notice were no longer required, despite the initial funding with the requirement still being in place

Lately I’ve been watching Noel Phillips videos on YouTube. He’s an airline geek (as am I) and has been to some really unique places - some are interesting places on different continent, some just random remote airports in the middle of American nowhere.

Did you… Did you just type the word “slash”?

That’s the same initials of mine! I did a PEI bed sheet though, and so far I’ve stuck with Cura (but you’re tempting me!)

Is it the greatest? Of course not. Does it take care of a lot of issue I had with my previous Ender 3 V2? Definitely.
