Normally, if they’re gonna invade shit, they stage the invasion forces, meaning tanks and grunts, at least in the theater.

All I’ve heard about is two carrier groups, which is a lot, but it’s not going to invade anything. I also heard that one of the carriers deployed with broken shitters, so that’s got to be going great.

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a “private club” where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of “your” personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.

this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,

That’s, uh, not why DoD occasionally sends officers to Harvard and other elite universities. DoD does this because they want some of their officers to have high quality advanced degrees.

“It’s a bit scary to know that the most valuable private company in the world has your address and has shown up and has questions for you,”

That’s how “service of process” works. “Process server” is an entire career for people who figure out how to deliver legal documents to people personally.

They’re all hat and no cattle.

Police reports that support criminal complaints are usually sworn under perjury, or otherwise the officer or complainant is coming into court and testifying directly to what happened.

Either way, the person who swears is responsible for the content of what they testify to.

Fentanyl the WMD is all over every hospital and nursing home in America. Time to send in the UN inspectors and set up the no fly zones.

Update: court adjourned for today with no verdict. Jury deliberations will resume tomorrow.

The video clearly showed an intact, wrapped sandwich on the ground after the incident. Nothing “exploded.” The cop lied on the stand (surprise, surprise), and he got called out on it by the defense.

Of you post a preprint to arxiv, and submit the same paper to a journal, you don’t generally cite the preprint in the journal submission, and it’s not considered plagiarism either.

That’s why they’re called “preprints.”

This seems like a similar situation, except the “preprint” went up on some form of personal blog, and the “journal” was a class submission.

The petit jury nullification is coming. You’ve got defendants in DC insisting on their speedy trial rights because they want to get themselves on front of a jury right now in the present moment.

Charlie Kirk was supposed to be of the maga faction that supported Israel. Why would Bibi want to whack him?

This case has been assigned to everyone’s favorite federal judge, Aileen Cannon.

Ah, I have a modest proposal. Let’s count 60% of maternal deaths from black women. /s

If LLMs train on text output from LLMs, the results will degenerate into total garbage over time. The people that buy reddit data for LLM training know this. They will stop buying if they think there’s a lot of LLM text on Reddit.

He can’t let people poison the training data, or else his site will have no value to its customers.

Probably better to use Grok, because that’s what’s going to read these things.

Do you mean that the script was written by the family, and it was only “performed” by generative AI? That’s very interesting, and not something I heard anywhere else.
