    @jolly Judge Carl Nichols QUOTE Nichols was mentioned as a potential judicial nominee in March 2018.[2] On June 7, 2018, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Nichols to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[4] On June 18, 2018, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Nichols to the seat vacated by Richard W. Roberts, who took senior status on March 16, 2016.[5] On August 22, 2018, a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[6] On October 11, 2018, his nomination was reported out of committee by an 11–10 vote.[7] On January 3, 2019, his nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate. On January 23, 2019, President Trump announced his intent to renominate Nichols for the same federal judgeship.[8] His nomination was sent to the Senate later that day.[9] On February 7, 2019, his nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote.[10] On May 22, 2019, his nomination was confirmed by a vote of 55–43.[11] He received his judicial commission on June 25, 2019. UNQUOTE In addition, just a couple of days ago, the "U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday upheld a lower court judge’s decision to order Lang’s continued detention" (https://www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/news/article/Capital-riot-defendant-denied-appeal-for-release-16773226.php?IPID=Times-Union-HP-CP-Latest-News) So, just maybe, this guy did some really bad things, and multiple judges from both sides of the politics area agree he should be kept in jail.

    @larry said in They ain't making any more land.: In the philippines, it is against the law for a foreigner to own land. Same in Thailand. But even there, a foreigner cannot even own the building on land or cannot even own a condo. You have to purchase a 99 year lease for a condo, and I do not think this is even possible to do with freestanding houses. I think we talked about this previously, but I believe that the largest individual owning farmland in the US is Bill Gates.

    Sounds like quite the yarn, though it is highly unlikely I’ll bother to read the storybook.

    I think he'd maybe have been better off looking at sci-fi literature rather than movies for disturbing and prescient predictions. We all know we're all heading towards a cyberpunk reality.

    Yeah. But I can’t imagine the town being supportive of CRT-infused ideas in school. Probably just a vocal and intimidating minority like in so many other institutions.

    @klaus said in The Potato Paradox: Therefore, the wager is to my advantage. George can consider the wager in exactly the same way; thus, paradoxically, both have the advantage in the bet. Or do they not? It probably depends on how well they know each other's wives.

    Who's the weirdo with the eye patch? If I was him, I'd definitely swap the specs for a monocle. No question

    Probably ate less, too. My niece had a thoroughbred jumper and I've never seen a horse eat so much. I don't think her quarterhorse ate even half of what the thoroughbred did.
