This article brings to mind the two things those of us who live in tourist areas worry about:
1. No one will show up.
2. Everyone will show up.

Flying the Unfriendly Skies
comment: from other sources i take it that the final destination was Seoul, and those passengers had a 29 hours journey. I’m still bitter about my 56 hour journey from my hotel in Kathmandu to my home in Virginia - 20 hours of that in the jurisdictional no-man’s-land in the Delhi airport where ther...

COPS behaving badly
An Air Force airman who was fatally shot at his Okaloosa County, Florida, apartment Friday was killed by a deputy after law enforcement burst into the wrong home, civil rights attorney Ben Crump said Wednesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/air-force-airman-killed-florida-deputies-wrong-apar...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”
Whereas the prosecutor may introduce any of the defendant's out-of-court statements ( provided they are against his penal interest , and many are). In my experience, this is a concept that no prosecutor, very few judges, and not nearly enough defense counsel embraced. If the defendant said it, it i...

Isn’t it their duty to object to unnecessary or inappropriate testimony? Sounds like the judge expected them to and would have agreed. Are they trying for a mistrial as in delay delay delay? Is that ethical? Yes and no/"it depends." Yes, a party is expected to object to inappropriate test...

I agree with everything you’ve said about planting seeds, particularly if you have a juror looking for a reason to acquit.
To be honest, I’m surprised more trials don’t end in acquittals. But I don’t think jurors really understand (or care about) reasonable doubt.
Time will tell.

Please help me out here. If most of those checks were written on Trump's personal account , how are they business records? That may be a defense to many/most of the criminal counts. I thought the claim was that every one is a payment of an invoice to the Trump org for "legal services" and...

That particular check is discussed Count 28 of the indictment, which alleges that it is a “Donald J. Trump check and check stub dated October 18, 2017, bearing check number 002944, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.” It looks like they’re saying even his personal checks are part of t...

Music Free-for-all
I’m famous! You can now find me on Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube Music. Only one song, though, for now. I’m reasonably satisfied with the vocal, but my acoustic guitar was buzzing so the sound engineer made me switch to electric, which is *very* unforgiving. https://youtu.be/3fulKCnJxLY?si=0tKm...

That's (foolscap-sized paper) weird. I wonder if it's a criminal courts thing. We had to submit our Appellate Briefs in the Coast Guard on that. I had some on order but we ran out before the procurement guy was able to get me any, so I submitted it on regular paper. The Clerk brought it back to me ...

I also speak judge. “Counsel, I don’t want to hear this again from your client.” :yeahthat: I don't know if the judge saw the (extrajudicial) clip where the defendant's lawyer appear to nod in agreement. But including counsel in the remarks was saying, "Do better." ( And of course "I...

Republicans behaving badly
Yeah, it makes no sense. A Bronze Star is a hell of a tribute to the courage and action of the owner. Why would anyone need to claim a second one (which it seems highly improbable that anyone could earn two)? If he wasn't in combat, how the heck did he get a Bronze Star? Oh, Wikipedia says it's &qu...

Food but not recipes
When I got my new set of pans when we moved here, I had to come up with a storage solution. For the lids I hung a chain and put a hook for each lids so it just overlaps the lid above it - that’s what keeps them all snug against the wall.

Another thing about induction - if you’re the kind of cook who likes to remove the pot from the heat and swirl the contents around a bit before returning it to he heat - or vigorously shaking it back and forth in the stove top - you can’t really do that with an induction. As soon as the unit doesn’t...

Are woks out with induction? Traditional woks (parabola shape) work best on gas - they work, but not all that great, on electric, but not at all on induction. You’d need the kind with a flat bottom, but the’n it’s not really like a traditional wok. Since I can’t use my wok on my induction, I cook o...

With gas or electric you can look at the burner and determine somewhat just how much heat you are applying to the pan. Induction gives no visible clue, other than looking at the dial setting. It seems to me that there'd be a learning curve involved. If anyone here is using induction, I'd like to kn...
