Basically “we’re here to discuss a bullshit motion and everyone’s time is being wasted and I want everyone to go ahead and discuss how stupid that is while I berate the government”

Paraphrasing the first five minutes

Tbh this judge is starting off with “mad judge not pleased to even be having this conversation” so if you’re into that sort of thing you’ll enjoy this. Starts off that way.

Or I’ll forget! Whichever. I don’t get paid for whatever it is I’m doing here.

Not enough lawyers finally runs into “there are no merits”.

Oh HELL yeah that looks perfect. I’ll try to find a reason to head out there. Take the kids to the museum or something.

Thanks for the recommendation!

With three kids under four man it makes it *tough* since it’s about an hour each way but I’ve already talked myself into it.

Where do you recommend?

I have no idea why I’d go to Indianapolis but it’s very important that I stop by that restaurant if I do.

See this is what I’m talking about. This is good for you. You need this.

Saudade - Wikipedia

Brian you’re right because the only word I can think to describe how I feel right now is “saudade”.

English fails me.

That’s what I’m craving right now. I’m currently eating meatballs with pita bread and longingly remembering the delightful tang of injera.

Glad this resonated so quickly. Very validating.

It makes me FRUSTRATED that I do not have easy access to Ethiopian food.

Gonna have to be real puritanical about it too.

If I ever get another motorcycle it’d be a gold wing, but that’s because it’s meant to be driven by an old person. They design for it ya know?

I totally think the cameras are necessary given how the vehicle is constructed but also that sucks!

I got in my boss’s brand new electric Chevy Silverado and it was straight up disorienting.

I felt like such an old man thinking “GIVE ME BACK MY MIRRORS I DO NOT TRUST YOUR NEWFANGLED CAMERAS!”

It was just too much.

Every single person that complains about this messaging approach by Rutte validates it.

Sounds like Israeli SOF may be operating inside Iraq (presumably setting up FARPs and the like for aircraft that en route to/from Iran or ground launched munitions)—and some of them may have gotten into a shootout with Iraqi forces

Way better than however much of whatever % enrichment they have is just *out there* which is now a distinct possibility.

This does seem to be the corner piece of the AI company’s pitch for some reason.

Who doesn’t love a deep dive on merchant shipping

Yeah, the way they halted it was to say “we won’t insure you after x date and if you’re on the strait good luck” and I think hoped that some ships would risk it, get through and then they could just raise risk premium and start moving again.

Doesn’t seem to be going that way.
