In my view we are where we are as a result of the cowardice, incompetence and sloth of one man. Merrick Garland. He prosecuted the privates and let the officers get away. He finally moved after the January 6 Committee did most of his work for him. And then he appointed a Special Counsel. Why didn't...

But yeah I think there are ways the jury system can rest on unreliable judgements by jurors. Like folk beliefs in the reliability of eyewitness testimony debunked by psychologists like Elizabeth Loftus. It cuts both ways. That’s why many people, despite the verdict, will never be convinced that Rit...

I recall (vaguely) a line from Errol Morris' The Thin Blue Line in which police said of their suspect something like "he almost seemed to be protesting his innocence too much". The film goes on to make a persuasive case that he WAS innocent, and in fact his conviction was ultimately overt...

As much as I hate that guy, if someone sent him white powder through the mail, they should go to prison.

And get a dog if you can or don't already have one. Even bitty little dogs bark and they can hear what you can't. :thumbsup: After we lost Joey we’ve decided against another dog. But we have a Ring doorbell camera which is linked to all the Alexa devices. When someone approaches our front door, ins...

Holy crap! :bighug: We live right on a major highway, but we’re 8 miles from Luray and 5 miles from New Market. It used to be a business, so we have a parking lot. People often pull in, to turn around, to switch drivers, to barf from carsickness on the windy road, to take pictures of the view, etc. ...

Homemade bread goes stale quickly, and with just two people... This is a constant issue with just one person. So many things from recipes and many things in the store are designed for multiple people. You either have to eat the same meal multiple times in a row, eat too much (the unfortunate choice...

I cannot believe I forgot to add her name to the list.

I’m against dissolution. There are worthwhile things a properly managed NRA could do, including educational programs on gun safety and hunter safety.

I even commented on it.

Foggy, feel free to merge.

On OldBow we had a thread to remember our departed members.

After two months of that, it was time to explore the store, and see what I've been missing. First up was Rana prepacked meal products. I love them all. I haven't had a bad dish yet. Flavor, quantity, quality, and price are all top marks. I can easily get four to six servings from a $12 package. Ser...

This is all so horrible. My son and his wife struggled with infertility. IVF game them twins, who are now 15.

It’s so sad that these crazies are making it so hard for families who are already dealing with this this.

Yeah. Republican voters whose last name is Trump.

I traditionally give up spinach and opera.

In 1982 American Airlines lost my guitar. I wanted to bring it in the cabin and they forced me to check it at the gate. Non-stop flight from Honolulu to San Francisco. I had a window seat, and saw it get loaded on the plane. It didn’t come off. I waited at the airport as long as I could, but the Coa...

From the Navy Times: Navy chief charged with espionage A Navy chief is facing espionage and other criminal charges over allegations that he delivered classified information to a foreign contact in 2022 and 2023. Chief Fire Controlman (Aegis) Bryce Steven Pedicini faces eight espionage charge specifi...

When the time comes, Trumps attorney will have to state the grounds for appeal. And those grounds will have to have been adequately preserved at the trial. For example, the appellate court would likely conclude that any claim that Trump was denied his right to a jury trial was not adequately preser...

Mar-a-Lago Dreamin' NEWSMAX: What are you grounds on appeal? ALINA HABBA: What aren't my grounds on appeal? I mean, look, IANAL ATLLD (all-the-live-long-day), and yet, I am pretty sure that she can't expect the court to receive favorably an appeal that simply asks "What aren't my grounds here?...

And not al all surprising. The Eagles, and Henley in particular, have been extraordinarily aggressive in protecting their copyright. I think they’d be just as aggressive in protecting their ownership of their creative process.

And you have things to say that are interesting and insightful rather than annoying and hateful.

Man confronts neo-Nazis marching in Nashville A man confronted suspected members of the white supremacist group ‘Blood Tribe’ as he filmed them doing the Nazi salute and waving Swastika flags in the US city of Nashville.

I saw or read an interview with Dolly many years ago and she said she wanted to be remembered for doing good in the world (or something - I can’t recall the exact quote).

I used to watch her on locally-produced teevee when I was a kid - she was a semi-regular on The Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour.

We’re expecting 3-5” overnight.
