That's what a district court judge will do when they know their work is going to be heavily scrutinized on appeal. They're mainly writing to persuade appellate judges because nobody likes getting reversed and overruled.

Digital, as in "with the fingers."

A jury found by a preponderance of the evidence that Trump penetrated E Jean Carroll using his finger, without her consent. This act does not meet the legal definition of "rape" in New York, because a penis was not involved. But because a reasonable person off the street could call this "rape," Trump was still liable for defaming Carroll.

See, Dark Brandon would not pass up a good opportunity for ice cream.

Okay. But did it have one of those steam whistles, like on the old railroad? I feel like it would have done better on the market with a nice choo choo.

It's established that every personnel transport operation requires a skilled non commissioned officer to operate. On a ship with a crew complement of 1,000.

I've played this game before. It's because we haven't colonized enough planets to start specialising districts.

I should add, now that Abrego actually has a court ruling finding vindictive prosecution, he should be eligible to collect from the $1.776 billion compensation fund.

Todd Blanche played a key role, and the defense tried to get him to testify to establish vindictiveness. And he's still around.

In the end, though, DOJ turtled up, which meant they didn't do much to rebut the presumption of vindictiveness. So, case dismissed for vindictive prosecution.

But it would still be more expensive, and still have a latency issue.

Imagine a public counterstrike server where there's an extra 30-50 ms delay between when you hit the strafe key and when you start moving.

Alternatively, Counterstrike or another shooter could defeat wall hacks if the server only told the client about player positions in the client's line of sight. But then the Counterstrike player executing a peek would see their opponent pop in 30-50 ms after they gain line of sight. Much Counterstrike gameplay is built upon the short interval between when you see someone, and when you click on their head with your hit scan weapon.

Furthermore, latency is not going to go away for Internet play. The speed of light travel time to circumnavigate earth is 125 ms. That gives a theoretical worst case minimum ping of 62.5. Actual pings I see from my ISP are approaching the speed of light order of magnitude, assuming they are only traversing North America.

The traditional rationale, back in the time of the boomer shooters, is that the server doesn't have enough computational power to update and control the game state for all clients at once, with acceptable latency.

It's funny to me that they're always playing stud like they've never even heard of no limit hold em.

There was at least one "AI" company that was caught passing off the cheap overseas labor as AI.

 

A lawyer working with the Minnesota attorney’s office said she just wants some sleep, after working so hard to try to get ICE to follow court orders.

“I wish you would just hold me in contempt of court so I can get 24 hours of sleep,” Le said. “The system sucks, this job sucks, I am trying with every breath I have to get you what I need.”

Edit clarification: This attorney works for the federal government, not the State of Minnesota.

 

Over the weekend, Judge Nachmanoff made it clear that a large amount of discovery material is to be delivered to James Comey today. The prosecution team from North Carolina seem to be engaging in a series of stall tactics to delay this.

The eastern district of Virginia is known informally as the "rocket docket" because of its fast resolution times for cases.
