The big game changer here is that the latest supplement bill includes ATCAMS with approximately 300km range.., That in effect extends the active range of Ukrainian targets an additional 100km. That is a lot of bridges, airfields, rail yards, and staging areas that are now legit targets. What m...

re: Have you ever been electrocuted?

Posted by laxtonto on 4/17/24 at 12:19 am
I have been lit up bu 120 and 240 many times. Worst was 277 while up in a ceiling grid that ended up having me "completing the circuit" for 12 - 2x4 layins while up on an 8ft ladder. Needless to say my father was an electrician and I grew up in the trade, so shite happens. I haven't been invo...
5-4 seems the minimum on the questions asked during the arguments, maybe 6-3. Best case 7-2 with how two of the liberal justices seemed to have various issues with the broad overreach of the sub-statute... Regardless it seems that it didn't go that well for the government case in oral arguements ...
The entire Louisiana series has been great. I would also recommend his series on Latino OG gangs of LA, his look at the Amish/Mennonites in Ohio/PA, his run through WV. ...
India is complete online and has been since COVID. Their eVisa system had my last trip approved in less than 48 hrs, and in truth you don’t even need to do that if you are willing to do a same day visa application at the port of entry…. Brazil is becoming a pain in the arse, but India is pretty da...
It goes a bit further than that. Tons of questions nobody really has an answer to. Trying to make any predictions right now with A&M is pointless.. Who plays LB? Where is the depth at DT and will it be consistent. Is there anyone that plays like a true starting CB. The OL absolutely had to im...
[quote]I've been in EMS since 2001. I've only seen two cases my career. Both patients, middle-aged men, had just gone through extremely stressful situations in the hours/days before onset.[/quote] The two I knew prior to COVID were both high stress related. One a lawyer dealing with a massive lit...
I have a serious skepticism about the “hundreds” of cases of Bell’s palsy post COVID vaccination… I have only seen one or two cases in my life pre-COVID and know of at least 4 serious cases since… Regardless, these are pretty significant side effects and I am very proud of not allowing either of ...

re: Sam Bankman Fraud gets 25 years

I might not like it, but it’s in line with the top end for those convicted for fraud, but without some form of Ponzi scheme tied into it. I would have liked 40-50, but 25 plus the $8 billion judgement should in effect make him a pauper in his 50s when he gets out. In truth, I don’t see him las...
So the next question is how much of PDiddys wealthy is not tied into the US banking system? He has a net worth around 1B, but how much of that is in a place or format that he can just take it with him? I am guessing he has some type of crypto wallet with a chunk of assets in it, but unless he som...
How can you expect a country to hold a private jet without an arrest warrant? So unless the search warrant raids were just a pretext to detain PDiddy so they could then drop the arrest warrant, he is “free” to go at this point… Bigger question is what is security like right now at the private ter...
Also, this is something that will be sitting there as a hurdle to the presidential immunity case and selective prosecution argument as along as it has not come to a resolution officially. Let it hang out and fester. Let Hunter have to go to trail for tax evasion. Let this continue to drag out in ...
I think a lot of people don't realize that c UNT was expected to finish in the top 4 of the AAC before they had a ton of injuries. Now several of those guys are back. Shouldn't be losing to them, but they aren't a complete nobody ...
There are no charges about these secret documents being classified and therefore needing a security clearance, only that they are tied to national security. How can something not classified, be put under a national security seal? If it is in fact vital that this information is not shared to prot...

re: Teams that have turned down the NIT

Posted by laxtonto on 3/17/24 at 9:04 pm
Transfer portal opens tomorrow... If you are in the NIT you can't really recruit over your guys and also how many players will also try to opt out of the NIT to transfer?...
More interesting component in all of this, if Wade is truly out then what happens to this case? How logistically does this now work now? Does Willis try the case herself? Do they try and bring in someone else? ...
If you read the findings, the Judge says there is no explicit proof of when the relationship started or stopped, only the potential appearance of impropriety of it being there. So if there is no proof of it, he let Willis stay. But now the ex-wife will need to prove dates to use the adultery asp...
More curious to me is that if Wade is kicked from the money train, how does his ex-wife react and how vicious does that set of proceedings become? If he is no longer the special prosecutor there is no reason to try and seal or hide any motions in this case and no reason to stop depositions regard...
[quote] This finding is by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony during the evidentiary hearing. Rather, it is the undersigned’s opinion that Georgia law does not permit the finding of an act...
