I’ve had fake-helicopter parents (who were lawyers of the ambulance chasing variety,) insist that we (I,) was discriminating against his son because he was black.

The kid kept calling in asking questions like “I don’t understand this form” and “what do I put in this box” for the cover letter sheet.

Sometimes there’s some confusion where English isn’t their first language, so I’m happy to help. But not knowing what goes into the name box… or date of birth…

Yeah. No. His dad decided to start a lawsuit. I remember our lawyers playing back the judge’s decision for me. They opened up with a motion to dismiss citing one of the phone calls, and that being able to read and write/type English is a requirement.

Judges reply?

“Yeah, so whats your hourly rate?” (He made the plaintif- or rather his dad- pay for it.)

Better tuck Buns under a spinach blanket,

too bad they probably weren’t driving a FSD tesla.

if this isn’t a backyard garden (that’s a lot of spinach,)… that guy’s middle manager agrees.

it looks like someone shat on the plate.

So I guess they nailed it.

and then fell out of the ugly tree and face planted every branch on the way down.

At least the kids would learn that steroids and TBIs are bad.

She’s worse than Hogan

What’s your point?

They discovered the leak in 23- about one week before he was arrested.

If you want to go back to when the leak occurred… that started fairly early in trumps presidency.

From the moment the leak was discovered, it took them all of a week to plug it and remove the culprit’s freedom. (Or did you think jack was free to kill around while they waited for an open court date?)

Pens, random screwdrivers and Allen hexes from furniture, rubber bands, a giant box of paper clips that I have no idea where they came from, a stack of note cards, a couple pads of post it knockoffs, markers, pens that don’t work. Mechanical pencils. Markers that don’t work. Broken wooden pencils. A box of crayons.

9 usb cables, 6 of which are the OG USB mini, another is the printer cable. 3 other random power cords.

2 box cutters, 3 pairs of scissors. 3 lighters, 1 of which reliable for now.

And a random ball of string that’s keeping it all “connected”

Ah. Yeah. That makes sense.

Also, door alarms. Like modern RFID or NFC door systems are capable of reporting in real time someone swiping a badge- a failed badge swipe (ie if someone is trying to get into someone’s room,) or even a threshold of “x-many failed swiped”- and perhaps more importantly; when a door gets forced open (or is otherwise open when it shouldn’t be. Including held open for “too long”)

The most secured facilities, even just using modern equipment would have lock downs checking biometrics, a badge, and probably some kind of password (and a duress code to use instead of a password,)

Marric Garland didn’t even start the poccess until over 2.5 years after it happened.

for a better comparison, go with Jack Teixera- the Discord Leaks Guy. After they were discovered, it took all of a week to figure out his identity, arrest him, and secure further leaks.

It took over 6 months to get the documents back- when they knew exactly who had the documents. No investigation necessary. but he didn’t want to be “political.”

And by the way, those documents are literally damning evidence of violating several laws for which most Americans would be hanged.

Also, remember, they didn’t actually get them all back. Some of the worst secrets are still missing.

oh she’s getting some pork, alright.

honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.

that dog is moments from falling off the back of the couch, startling the cat and unleashing chaos into the universe.

the UN is performing as intended. that is, to maintain power for the old super powers and prevent anyone else from complaining too much.

an oxymoron.

basically what happens when you let two morons suck out all the oxygen.

Security cameras are in fact very vital aspects of a security theater. Sure they won’t stop someone from breaking in, but they’ll definitely allow one to monitor much larger areas than would otherwise be possible.

The caveat is they can’t be ignored and need to be monitored. And given how dumb the ship’s computer is….well. Probably should assign a Vulcan flunky.

I don’t imagine they’re cool enough to wear tight tights.

I might be tempted to try turning on ‘fuzzy skin’ printing above a layer height, for Prusaslicer, if you have a fairly large gap and wide skin thickness it can create an almost-open-weave to it. I used that for some grow baskets for aeroponic racks as well as a lamp shade. The trick there is to print in spiral mode as well.

but I think given the bottom profile, it would have to be done in separate parts- a cylinder for the actual filter, and a cap on either end. ( you can also turn on a skirt for adhesion, which is also useful as a flange for securing it into a cap. basically, there’s a recess that it fits in, then a threaded ring screws into that recess.)

edit: here’s a screen grab of a quick mock up in prusa… using a calibration cube (20x20x50mm) using a layer height change to turn off perimeters, infill and turn on fuzzy skin with a point-distance of .6 and a tickness of 1mm. (default .4mm nozzle. yes, that makes a difference on the skin.) It creates a realtively ‘open’ structure where the layers intersect somewhat randomly while jogging back and forth (think of it as being like a wicker basket,)

it’s important to remember when replicating things that they don’t have to be necessarily exactly what your replacing. really it just needs to fit in the same space and do the same job.

Secondly, I’d say that as plans to get the US to not escalate with Russia go, a preemptive nuclear strike against the UK and France probably is going to be pretty counterproductive.

I love how dry and understated this comment is. Also, I’m pretty sure if russia decides an overt attack on the US, Biden can simply not hand over powers to avoid confusion. I don’t think Biden would do that because if he had enough of a spine to do that, Trump would have already been in jail. Details.
