Delayed while the parties tried to make sense of the SCOTUS wrench.

Now set for Sept 18, with one more hearing on Sept 6 for final arguments first:

Small correction since I misread that a bit: The parties are submitting written arguments on whether the conviction should be upheld. The Sept 6 date is when Justice Merchan will rule on those arguments.

Not that I expect a room temperature IQ between the lot of these characters, but somebody, somewhere along the line may have told them this is likely an illegal campaign donation, and the whole story is a pure bullshit publicly stunt. There's approximately a zero percent chance Trump and his team accepted the "gift" for any longer than it takes to get a few pictures. He's already forgotten about them, just like every other weirdo that lines up to kiss his ass.

Nope.

First blood draw was just shy of 43yo, and that was for a new life insurance policy, so it was a contract nurse in my own living room.

I have become more familiar with the hospital recently, however.

It reminds me of the days when Twitter would have some trending "#topic", and the entire list was just people asking "Why is #topic trending?

A few people watched it, enough to get to the top of the algorithm, then people watch it because it's "popular" and it stays there with a self-fulfilling momentum.

None of this says it's good.

I didn't even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.

  • graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
  • never broken a bone.
  • never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
  • can't say "never" any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
  • have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.

Even the android is....fully functional.

Laws on the books generally don't get overturned unless they are specifically mentioned in a court ruling, or there is some action by a legislative body. If you want to be able to buy/sell switchblades, you could challenge the law and see where it goes. But apparently nobody has bothered to take it to court.

"Whereas" sort of makes sense there instead of just "Where," but even that sounds like someone trying to be formal and missing the mark.

Having never heard of this before watching the video, I feel like I know even less about the game after watching.
