Steelers 2023-2024 Season Thread

A quick search says that the flight was Delta 8867, an Airbus A330-900neo. So that should be a pretty new aircraft. The reason was low engine-oil pressure, so Steelers fans can blame Rolls Royce.

Maybe. We'll see. You are correct that Duncan was that case. After the win before the District Court, it went up to the Ninth Circuit, which took it en banc (as the Ninth Circuit does in pretty much every gun case) and upheld the magazine ban under the same "intermediate scrutiny" interest-balancing...

I think it will depend on whether the majority of the Ninth Circuit judges who are anti-gun are willing to admit their side has lost in the post-Bruen world, or whether they want to go down kicking and screaming.

I wouldn't have any problems with using an AI for something like writing a resume, because you know your own work history and can check the output. The problem with AI is that it is perfectly capable of "hallucinating." An AI can generate output that is fluent, coherent, grammatically correct, accur...

There are some recent well-known (well, well-known in the legal community) cases where lawyers used chatgpt to generate legal briefs.

I wasn't directly involved, but many years ago my firm was tangentially involved in a situation where the CEO of a business was engaging in rather serious fraud on the company. I'm talking about two sets of books and everything. I recall that the eventual criminal indictment revealed that the CEO ha...

It is absolutely pathetic just how ignorant the police are of the constitutional rights they have sworn to uphold. Police training spends far more time on training cops on how to shoot people than it does on basic constitutional rights. https://twitter.com/TheFIREorg/status/1704833068463264213 https...

The main reason for delays on Amtrak is because nearly every track is owned by freight companies so freight trains get priority. Does Brightline own their track? I believe they do, at least for the new part from West Palm Beach to Orlando. I believe their model is leasing space along existing right...
