As far as the west side of the Missouri River, no deaths reported as of this morning. Not sure about Iowa.

I guess we wait for a potential round 2 today.

For argument's sake, let's say you're being honest. What antisemitic "activity" have you seen that warrants police force? If it's vile people saying vile things, I'll remind you that A) they're within their constitutional right to do so, and B) that same kind of rhetoric is rarely being met with police force when it's being spewed by other groups.

I would again like to remind people (louder for the folks in the back) that literal Nazis were met with less state resistance during the Skokie nonsense .

Yeah, part of Omaha I'm in just had some wind and hail.

Here's a video of one of the tornados forming.

Edit: better video

Do these fuckers not remember the Skokie "demonstration." I don't recall riot police being called out for those literal Nazis.

Some major developments at my hometown might get nailed. Yikes.

Yep.

Confirmed touchdown. Apparently a "multi vortices" storm. Still a fair bit away from me, but watching the live camera footage is scary.

Woo.

I know a bit about the Kiryu line of games (played 0, watched streams of Kiwami 1 and 2), but I think IW did a good job of giving enough background that you can still feel the gut punch moments for Kiryu's side without having gone too deep. Obviously don't have the full story and attachment that folks would have after playing the full series.

Can that be appealed? Is it possible for him to appeal civil lawsuits all the way up to the SC?

The appeal in the Second Circuit is already pending. He gets one appeal as of right (from the district court to the Second Circuit), and he (or Carroll, if the Second Circuit rules in Trump's favor) may petition SCOTUS for review of the Second Circuit's judgment. Four justices would then need to vote to actually hear the case.

Big issue with Eternal is how long it takes to get all the major tools. The pacing is okay for new folks, but you really feel it when you start a new save and you have the knowledge and experience.

The knob to turn on the Atem voice always gets me.

That JoJo one is amazing.

Luckily, I say luckily, I always keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency.

Yes, this is typically how trials work where a party is required to attend.

Also a reminder to everyone, SCOTUS oral arguments on the immunity claim are on Thursday.

What does that translate into? Does it hurt any future objections?

Basically, Merchan is close to operating on the presumption that the Trump team is acting in bad faith, which will translate into more scrutiny on their objections, direct examination, cross examination, etc.

If Awakened Alma didn't exist, I would still have PTSD from Murai. >_>

There was one duel in GX centered around deck-outs, to the point where the on-screen LP counter changed to a "cards remaining" counter only used in that episode.

Neat. I do kind of generally forget about GX (other than the dub memes) and Zexal, so that's on me.

The fuck you doing drinking beer warm.

Yes.

From Habba, who objected to nothing, to Blanche, who objects to everything.

The tweet is referencing Blanche's opening argument, I believe. It appears references were made to verboten topics.

My favorite anime duel that I remember actually is when Yugi pulls some bullshit that puts his opponent's card draw engine into overdrive, forcing him to deck out.

This and the Ishizu/Kaiba duel are the only times I have any recollection of decks being finite in the anime.

I would wager about a year or so at the NY intermediate court of appeals. After that, it's discretionary.

Unfortunately, the statutes and judgments implicate grounds for a petition for certiorari to SCOTUS, with some potential constitutional arguments. The upside is that if we clear the few de novo review issues and any evidentiary issues raised (I'll be able to better evaluate whenever the gaggle of dipshits get around to filing their brief for the appeal), the judgment will almost certainly stand because Engoron went to great lengths to thoroughly outline his decision.

Taboo? In what reality?

MLBloomy posted...

Does the prosecution have to refer to him as the defendant or can they refer to him by name at times to see if that's enough to jolt him awake? Might make him more irritable and likely to have an outburst.

No, names (and applicable titles) are appropriate. We will probably hear "Mr. Trump" from the state, and "President Trump" from defense counsel throughout the trial.

Cat startup noise warms the soul.

My response would likely be problematic.

Nixon could have tested it but he resigned before it came to that. I wonder what would have happened if he did pardon himself, instead of leaving it up to Ford do it

The Burger Court wouldn't have let nonsense like that slide. Even the Rehnquist Court wouldn't have given it the time of day.

I can't say the same about the post-Kennedy/RBG Roberts Court.

Yep. I imagine it's the fun part about having a 50~ mile commute.

Always amazes me how people can get into accidents when everyone's driving the same fucking direction and, for about 10 miles of that commute, interstate traffic is at a steady 35-40 mph. Fucking wild.

Man with machete.

I love Dead Space. Both the original and remake.

Never played Alien Isolation. What's combat like in that game?

It's... serviceable? Combat is more about neutralizing/creating breathing room rather than the murderating.

That said, the death of Dead Space as a franchise makes me sad because I was invested in the story and the lore.

Peak performance

That is still quite the take.

That is certainly a take in post 5.

After I discovered Counterstrike I realized there was a whole other level to being comfortable with your keyboard setup.

Let me tell you the wonders of rocketjumping, my friend.

I do. And I regret it immediately afterward.

I was also surprised by this. I dont know what your experience with jury service has been Pie, but my JD/legal career has always disqualified me. When I lived in Va., I was always dismissed before coming in (long time ago, so dont know if that still happens.). Where I live now, I always come in and am instantly dismissed when people realize what I do for a living. Last time it was a law school friend of mine working the case who laughed at me for having to come before kicking me out!

Everywhere I have been no one wants a lawyer on a jury. Or maybe just me? But in this case finding a panel is so hard that I guess beggars cant be choosers?

Oh no, I've also been tossed for (presumably) my JD. Funnily enough, at all three stages of my career: law student, judicial clerk, and practicing attorney. All my voir dire questionings have ended at the "and what do you do for a living?" stage. Funny enough, the attorney at my second voir dire was a classmate of my judge, so she asked me to tell my judge she said hi.

Unless if I was really confident in both my case and the JD juror, I sure as hell would never let anyone with a JD on a jury if I still had the peremptory challenges to spare. Too much of a risk for taking control of deliberations. That said, I don't know what the strike count was looking like, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was strategic by the state. New Yorker + JD may be a good combo in this situation.

We talkin bout practice, man.

Watched the video. Wouldn't recommend for the squeamish, but a woman cuts into the camera's view, sits down, and just casually watches the person burn. Fucking weird.

Nothing at all like Destiny, but it often reminds me of Destiny for some reason.

It's the fashion.

Surprising that a juror who apparently has a JD got through, although I figure the state reasoned that works in its favor and Trump ran out of peremptory challenges.
