There could be some group funding this which views this as a good case to take up to scotus on the issue.

I worked for five years with a large oilwell drilling equipment manufacturer that sold its drilling and service rigs internationally. The head of Rig Engineering was a master tool and die maker/machinist from the UK. The professional engineers in the organization all sought his knowledge and practical advice on how to solve the tough design engineering problems that would turn up from time to time. He had forgotten more about designing onshore and offshore drilling equipment than most engineers could ever hope to know.

@Aqua-Letifer said in All Alike: @Axtremus said in All Alike: The YouTuber failed to support the premise of his video's title that "every film today looks alike." In comparison with older films, the YouTuber has not established whether today's films are more or less self-similar than the films from past eras. The YouTuber neglected many genres and many centers of filmmaking. The YouTuber focus mostly on North American live action drama, neglecting animation, anime, superhero movies, horror, parodies, Western, sci-fi, Bollywood productions, Korean productions, Japanese productions, Hong Kong productions, mainland China productions, etc. They all bring very different styles, visually and otherwise; some could not have existed in older eras. The YouTuber focused on a few film making minutiae and neglected the rest of the world. The overall analysis looks like a student paper with very limited perspective; limited research, limited in time, limited in space. You should make your own response video. Absolutely. I'll let you watch it for me and provide a synopsis.

Funny, that was my stop in Brooklyn. Some of you probably got off there to come to my piano parties.

@Copper said in Stone Bench: Where would that fit? An urban museum, maybe. Our decor is very traditional. If it were modern-ish, I could see it in a hallway, as a place to put on shoes, etc. I found the approach to attaching the wood to the stone interesting, by the way. Steel tubes and rods - epoxy.

At least that's what you've been told.

The claim relates to breaches of UK Data Protection law arising from the inaccurate processing of the President’s personal data by Orbis following the publication of the false ‘Steele Dossier,’” according to Lowles. Doesn’t seem to be a libel suit, not that I have any claim to understanding British law.

@Horace said in College Gainful Employment Rule: I’m not a huge believer in formal education in any subject not directly tied to marketable skills. I am. It's what I did, and it more than worked out. It made me overqualified for almost every job I could possibly apply for.

It’s the only way it could ever happen sustainably. And even then it would be hard to sustain when one party gained full control subsequently.

From drug trafficking to mass migration to climate change, the many shared challenges between the United States and Latin America cannot be addressed by the antiquated Monroe Doctrine. These are some of the most pressing issues of our time, and they call for a process that stresses respect and cooperation. Sure, a process that stresses respect and cooperation sounds good.

Really enjoyed that.

@89th said in Hey Aqua - Baldur's Gate3: Good stuff man. You’re doing it right. I know that was a way over-detailed explanation. But I think about this a lot. Decades of incredibly dumb shit could've been avoided if my folks had simply just volunteered or something. Really want to avoid that myself.

@Jolly said in RIP Diane Feinstein: I hope dying at the office was worth it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/29/feinstein-senate-deaths/ The article notes that Senators dying in office used to be more common, but has become rare these days. That’s 10 sitting senators who died in office, all in the 65th Congress. This was before the admission of Alaska and Hawaii, so it was 10 of 96 senators, more than 10 percent of the total. And while this toll was exceptional, it wasn’t an aberration. An average of six senators died during each two-year period in the 58th to 62nd Congresses. . This is no longer common. The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Friday marked the first death of a senator in office since the passing of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2018, according to the Senate historian. Before that, the most recent such death was that of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) in 2013. In other words, over the past 10 years, only Feinstein and McCain have died in office.
