I spent 15.1 hours, because you don't have to memorize all this to play and enjoy the game, same as you can enjoy a book without going through literary analysis of it. (In both cases, you might get more out of it with more time, but it's not necessary.) Couple weeks of an hour or two here or there.

Generally on board with a lot of this, but I do think that Senate Dems might have thought SCOTUS wouldn't be on board with a lot of this at the time of the shutdown vote.
(They still shouldn't have enabled its passage, to be clear.)

Her logic (and this CAFC decision) heavily incentivize patent owners to sandbag additional claims from the court, only adding them after the one year window expires.

Judge Moore on Friday, saying that a successful IPR doesn't estop indistinct claims: "litigants can... challenge the relevant claims through IPR—including by filing a second petition to cover any claims omitted from the first petition."
Little concerning that she seems to have never read Thryv.

My weight doc has me come in regularly for a body scan which measures muscle mass (and other things) and only after a year was there any muscle mass loss (and even then it was a lb or two and a “hey eat a little more protein and we’ll keep an eye on this”, not anything significantly concerning.)

“As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies …”
There are pretty good reasons photography was considered deeply commercial and gauche for capital-A Artists for a long time!

James Mahaffey’s Atomic Accidents is both a good read and a way to realize how much work has gone into/goes into making nuclear power safe, and since you can’t exactly call nuclear weapons safe, into making them mostly only dangerous intentionally (as opposed to accidentally).

I initially mixed it up with the *other* early 1958 incident, where the high explosives went off after a series of failures caused the bomb to drop (not the Tybee incident where it was jettisoned after a midair collision) - no core in that one either so it was just an ordinary bomb going off.

Wasn’t even the only such incident *that year*.
(But really important note, neither of them had the actual nuclear core installed at the time.)

I am reminded of how many things there are that are neither illegal nor unconstitutional for the simple reason that it never occurred to anyone that someone would be SO BLOODY STUPID as to do the things.
This is into "technically it's not illegal to tongue a light socket" territory.

Tweet reading: It's maddening because it's mainly far right politicians talking about this in the UK, so we're watching people fall down the alt right pipeline in real time because they do care about this and are shocked by it 😬 desperately need more left wing voices talking about this
Left wing voices have completely abdicated the issue of civil liberties/free speech online and now the extreme far right is taking the issue up and recruiting people off the backlash to age verification. Especially young gamers

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Okay you can officially get ready for an attempt to cook the books.
