  • I am well aware that Apollo 10 did not deliver shitbags to the moon.

    But 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did, if they defecated at all on the moon, leave it behind per checklist. There are 96 inventoried bags on the moon, but it is not recorded which, if any, are filled with what. It would have been easier to avoid on the earlier missions, which spent less time on the surface.

    At least one astronaut claims he avoided a bowel movement for the entire mission duration.

  • Facts about this:

    1. Bags, with contents, were left on board the lower descent stages of the lunar modules. They remain on the moon to this day.
    2. There was at least one incident on Apollo 10 where feces escaped and was floating around the cabin.

    Part of the radio transcript:

  • Within section 2.1 choose only one subsection to follow. Those are all alternative bootloader options.

    The bootloader subsection chosen in 2.1 on this page should match what is done in Configuring the Bootloader. The default path on that page is GRUB, which does not require any systemd components.

    If following the GRUB path, follow instructions in 2.1.1 and skip the rest of 2.1. This is not at all clear in the handbook.

    I believe that sys-kernel/installkernel is a utility script internal to the Gentoo project that can be configured to work with various bootloader solutions, including (optionally) systemd, and that is what this section 2.1 is talking about.

    This appears to be an out of order dependency in the handbook

  • Petition was filed around 24 hours ago, but no summons, no other evidence of service, and no bail motion ready to go. Plaintiff is certainly not bringing to bear the same kind of litigation resources that Khalil gets from the ACLU.

  • Basically. Every time this district court judge does a new thing, they file a whiny motion, basically tattle-tale-ing, with the appeals court. The appeals court hasn't said anything about the tattle-tale letters yet. They set a very expedited briefing schedule on the appeal, but not as fast as the government wanted.

  • At this point it seems pretty clear that no more planes are actively planned. I don't think the judge is going to try to claw those poor people out of the Salvadoran prison.

    Might as well slow down a bit, litigate the appeal, and litigate the preliminary injunction to get something more permanent. Then move for sanctions and/or contempt. Let the news cycle recycle, then hit it.

    1. The judge was really pissed off. He is requiring sworn affidavits that prove that everyone on plane #3 has some valid basis for removal that is not AEA.
    2. The government argues that planes #1 and #2 departed before the written order was entered (judge gave the oral order in court at around 6:45, written order about 45 minutes later). They listed some cases about validity of oral bench injunctions.
    3. The government is pissed off with the judge. They filed these really extraordinary emergency appeals in the middle of the night in the weekend. Normally, you can't appeal a TRO, because they're so temporary. They wanted the appeals court to judicially bitch slap the district judge, but that didn't happen. The appeals court is instead going to consider the appeal on an expedited, but still normalish briefing schedule.

    Overall, some very exciting litigation filings going on in all of these cases, and a bunch of pissed off judges.

    You can check out the Venezuelan case here and here. And Mahmoud Khalil's habeas petition here, where Khalil's lawyers just seriously impeached the credibility of Joyce's sworn affidavits.

  • The entirety of Indian Removal (aka the Trail of Tears) was ruled to be illegal by the Supreme Court, but it still happened anyway.

    80,000 non-alien US citizens of Japanese descent were sent to concentration camps for years, under this exact same Alien Enemies Act. This was also illegal (Ex Parte Endo).

    Somehow, "American Democracy" and "Constitutional rights" are deemed to have survived those incidents.

  • For any non citizen, non LPR (green card), the border official at the desk holds the final authority on whether to admit. This is true with a visa or without one. US visas (not green cards) can be effectively cancelled at the border with no notice.

    All visitors to the US, visa or no, must overcome a presumption of immigrant intent at the border interview each time they visit.

    Unfortunately, the whole story seems to be legal. I would recommending thru hiking in some less shit hole countries.

  • F35 is a major maintenance time sink. Something on the order of 10 mechanic-hours of maintenance for every flight hour. I've heard it costs something like 12k USD in maintenance just to start the engine and bring it to low idle.

    I suspect it would take a lot less than six months to ground a fleet when the spare parts get cut off.
