Strikes over now until January

Eats your hamburgers fatty ding dong

I don't know the wider context of that passage but to me it's self evident that it's just an innocent child trying to understand what adults are talking about. It says more about his grandmother than him.

The public does benefit from it because the people who's jobs it is to protect the public have access to the data.

We're getting our monies worth, especially if you've paid attention to how accurate hurricane tracking and intensity models have become over the past 10+ years.

I believe there's a possibility Vance is trans or gay, but I'm not a fan of that passage being used as evidence.

Not one Israeli citizen wad injured in the ballistic missiles strikes.

A little bit of cinamon and chocolate in normal, non-Ohio related, chili is really good.

Anything by Kiasmos. Also Chopin.

Some context from a mod at /r/law

Selected Applications of the Brandenburg Test The Supreme Court in Hess v. Indiana (1973) applied the Brandenburg test to a case in which Gregory Hess, an Indiana University protester, said, “We’ll take the fucking street later (or again)." The Supreme Court ruled that Hess’s profanity was protected under the Brandenburg test, as the speech “amounted to nothing more than advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time.” The Court held that “since there was no evidence, or rational inference from the import of the language, that his words were intended to produce, and likely to produce, imminent disorder, those words could not be punished by the State on the ground that they had a ‘tendency to lead to violence.’”

In NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.(1982), Charles Evers threatened violence against those who refused to boycott white businesses. The Supreme Court applied the Brandenburg test and found that the speech was protected: “Strong and effective extemporaneous rhetoric cannot be nicely channeled in purely dulcet phrases. An advocate must be free to stimulate his audience with spontaneous and emotional appeals for unity and action in a common cause. When such appeals do not incite lawless action, they must be regarded as protected speech.”

The test determined that the government may prohibit speech advocating the use of force or crime if the speech satisfies both elements of the two-part test:

The speech is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action,” AND

The speech is “likely to incite or produce such action.”

I never could defuse all the bombs at the dam.

It's s one of my biggest regrets from childhood. Right up there with the rest of my early traumas that have guided my life in major and subtle ways.

For a while I wanted to make observing and ID'ing mosses and lichens my thing on iNataturalist, but it's too damn hard.

I don't think I've seen this one, nice.

I hope the shutter sound was turned off

Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I'll believe the optimists when I see the results.

Brother, I don't even eat tripe.

A clean ass is still an ass.

That's not catnip

I love it. Reminds me of close up views of sun spots. Or maybe iron filings in a magnetic field.

Wow. The first few episodes were fantastic. Seems short sighted

The first season was phenomenal and an example of the best story telling tv can offer. I have no interest though in watching additional season that goes beyond the book. It will inevitably dissapoint and be a waste of time.
