Alexa, are galena crystals in the shape of a cube? Alexa, which team drafted Brock Bowers? Alexa, does a compass in the Southern Hemisphere point south? Alexa, what's the closest star with detectable planets? Alexa, what are some common uses of the chemical element bismuth? Alexa, when are the insec...

I wonder if any other judges decide to grow a spine, after Juan Merchan did a very good job of conducting the trial.

I can still hear Ari saying "Count 1, guilty. Count 2, guilty. Count 3 ..."

Very nice.

u scared, bro?

His class ring from the US Naval Academy Class of 1949 arrived in the mail today; my sister said he left notes indicating that I should get it. He wore it every day until he passed, but of course I can't wear it. It's really worn - probably 14K gold with an oval garnet inset, but it's been a few yea...

If I could get near the comments, which is unpossible, I would tell her that each count of the verdict form has exactly the statute that the jury found he violated. Then she can read the statute and see for herself.

Oh, wait. I done forgotted. Birther brain cannot be penetrated.

That's still how I felt when the first verdict came in, though.

Nothing D-9 can be sold in my state.

As much as I enjoyed the clip in the sports bar, I'm past the point of celebration already. The rule of law is still under direct attack by the former president and current convicted felon, abetted by the entire apparatus of the Republican Party. We ain't out from under yet, my peeps. We have a ways...

We are going to learn climate control.

Hi, rikker and all the others who chimed in since the verdict. :wave: Today it all seems like a dream. A very good dream. BTW, sentencing is on JULY 11th , not June 11. I saw a couple wrong dates upthread. I fear for Merchan's safety. :| Yesterday was a very good day, and a very profound day for Ame...

Today is a good day for America.

And I anticipate political violence in the next few days, but still ...

He tried to delegitimize the court system of this great nation, and he failed, and he is a different person today, a convicted felon.

Wow.

I withdraw my previous comment about an imaginary holdout.

Only a holdout would need to hear that instruction again, IMHO.

I'se skeered of a hung jury. But if so, let's have a retrial before the election.

And if computer related businesses use up all the power available on the grid, what happens then? :confuzzled: I don't think we're at too much risk in NC, Virginia is the state with all the server farms and so forth, but I am interested in this stuff, even though my knowledge level is zero. But can ...

As I understood it, the smart grid wasn't just about circuit protection, but was about instantaneous adjustment of the entire national electrical grid based on changing conditions, and about who took the load when demand spiked. Back in 2008 when I read about it, they said that outages of electricit...

I have spent the morning engaging in hyper intensive tantric galactic psychomeditational pseudoemotional yard work exercises, and I am now psychologically completely unraveled, and thus ready for a verdict. More ready than I was yesterday. Or even a few minutes ago. I think maybe they wanted the tes...

The photo I posted above, of the bitcoin mining facility, is from a podcast about how we are going to see a lot of power failures across the US this summer, as giant computer facilities use all the power of our nation's electrical grid. This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, ever since Preside...

Will Bonevac and Hatfield pour over young women’s medical records ... :homophone: No, but they'd like to pore over the records if they could. Homophones are distracting - this idiot used the wrong word, and it made me lose focus on the story, because I was suddenly thinking, this pup is an idiot. A...

Tonight we are having delectable fresh lamb chops, but we have no mint jelly. Perfectly barbarous, I know.
