  • Waiting for those fuckers to retire? You bet.

  • Jack Smith was pressing for a speedy trial arguing that it's the right of the people to see justice done equally as much as it's a right of the defendant. We see how well that's worked out.

  • According to the crowd at Lawfare not one single day has tolled on the speedy trial clock. So while you are correct in the abstract, we aren't close to the trigger point for that to occur.

  • Sticks and stones can break my bones, But names can never hurt me.

  • Michael Cohen got 3 years for his part in the scheme.

  • Because sessional teaching for $4000 a course is a great way to make a living. I mean a 5 course load could move you close to the poverty line!

  • If they said that, they're wrong. There are very limited circumstances that allow an appeal to the 11th circuit and she hasn't tripped those wires yet...mostly by not issuing rulings. Scheduling is not an appealable matter.

  • Could be. I think chuck is about 20% fat as a baseline. So if you see a lighter mix they've added something meaty to it. When I did a butchers course out of curiosity a few years ago, the instructor kept a tub of "grind" which was all the trimmings from all the quarters and primals.

  • Chuck is a cut of beef. You can grind a chuck roast from Angus beef.

  • Cue the graphic comparing proboscis monkeys to Disney characters.

  • Lol. You should read the reviews of the album. They are decidedly ...mixed. Everyone seems to agree that it wasn't your typical Hollywood vanity project - she took it seriously as an artistic endeavour.

    That having been said her singing voice is freakishly low and the mixing is muddy and obscuring. It shows something that can't be immediately dismissed, but the poor execution doesn't allow you to grasp exactly what that spark might be.

    It's worth listening to once.

  • It is not allowed. See Tom Waits vs. Frito Lay. Vocal timbre is considered to part of a celebrities' "likeness" and reproducing it to imply endorsement will get you landed in court. ScarJo is a huge Tom Waits fan so she knows the story.

  • No. But it's getting there. In business continuity we used to be advised to keep a POTS (plain old telephone service) line around because it would the last service to go down and the first one to come up. About a year ago we were advised that we shouldn't bother. The copper lines convert to VOIP at a switch station.

  • Because checkout isn't until 11. It takes time to prep a room between guests. Depending on occupancy and staffing levels you may be able to get in earlier.

  • Furring strips and drywall don't count as load bearing. Structural means that it carries the weight of the overlying structure. Basically if the building falls down if that element is missing, it's structural. So staircases for instance are almost never structural. Many interior walls are not load bearing so they can get knocked down without consequence. You can also split a room by building a wall that won't be load bearing.
