I think this FTC rule will likely run into the same problem under the Major Questions Doctrine as the EPA did in West Virginia v. EPA . The FTC Act is well over 100 years old (passed in 1914), but it has never before been interpreted as barring non-competes as "unfair methods of competition." Non-co...

That BBS watch is really growing on me, although I don't think it has grown enough for me to spend $3,000. The only thing I don't like is that the Union Glashütte logo appears to be on the crystal. I would have made it smaller and put it on the top of the dial. Random trivia: the town of Glashütte i...

They were also largely not enforceable in other locations. Good to just put the nail in the coffin on them. :?: The only place I'm aware of that does not enforce non-competes under at least some circumstances is California. And even California permits non-compete agreements in connection with the s...

Who wants a BBS-wheels inspired watch? Only $3,000.

LED technology has made even small flashlights amazingly bright. A little LED flashlight that can slip into a pocket is way brighter now than those massive multi-D-battery halogen flashlights from back in the day that could have doubled as baseball bats. There's no way a phone can even come close to...

From seatguru, Southwest appears to use a 31" seat pitch on its 737-700s and a 32-33" seat pitch on its -800s and MAX8. Depending on the aircraft, all of Delta, American, and United have a 30" seat pitch for some standard seats. For example, American's MAX8s and A321neos have a 30" seat pitch for th...

Thank God. Just want I want, a Gravy Seal fumbling in his cargo shorts to pull out a gun to shoot someone. If it’s in a cargo pocket it’s more akin to a security blanket than a defensive weapon at that point. Gun goes in right front pocket. Other stuff goes in the cargo pockets. The draw isn't any ...

Phone, keys, wallet. What else do you need? Guns. No self respecting gun owner would just throw their weapon in a pocket… problem is we have enough owners with no self respect. That's why pocket holsters exist. I'm quite fond of the DeSantis Nemesis . Works great and very comfortable with a suitabl...

I don't understood the hostility to cargo shorts. How do you guys carry all of your stuff in the summer when you don't have a jacket?

possibly for the aviation thread but I would’ve assumed that the teams would own their own jets; not charter them through an airline. Especially not United I guess that means the Rays probably use Spirit Briefly stuck my head in here and saw this. There's always a thread on this subject on airliner...

Err, I think the T is currently closed between Wood and Steel Plaza, which I would imagine is the basis of your warning.

hate shorts with liner. I have my own undies, thank you very much but also nothing wrong with short athletic shorts. I assume anyone who makes fun of those looks like this https://www.theneatthingsinlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/wrangler_cargo_shorts-245x300.jpg Hey, that guy stole one of my ...

I agree with dodint. They're not common, but objections to opening statements are not prohibited.

I dunno if this might be a "fat guy" thing, but pants that don't have enough belt loops. I have several pairs of jeans that I otherwise like, but they only have a total of five belt loops: two in the front, two on the sides, and only a single loop in back. The waist can actually pull down in between...

I think there have been three non-commercial vehicles with seven-speed manuals: the Porsche 911, the Chevorlet Corvette, and the Ford Bronco. Although for the Bronco I think "first' is a super-low crawler gear that basically takes the place of low range on a transfer case, so most of the time it's d...

CNN says: A man lit himself on fire outside of the courthouse where the Trump trial is underway, two law enforcement sources confirmed to CNN. The man walked into the park across the street from the courthouse, throwing flyers into the air, a senior law enforcement official told CNN. He then pulled ...

Weird Al is a goddamned national treasure.

I'm now going to make tifosi have to go take a shower because he's going to agree with Matt Gaetz:

To be fair their basketball team name is comically mismatched because of a lack of creativity after a move. Maybe give them space to get it right. From the opening sequence to "Baseketball": "The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where...

A mouse family apparently made the exceedingly poor decision to try to move into my house today. I found a deceased mouse on the landing on my stairs when I got home from work. I wasn't sure which cat did it, but I suspected Hershey, who delights in chasing and killing bugs. A couple hours later, I ...

https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1780415157052543360 Not even close. Not even close to close. Tastes vary, of course, but in my book, the most stylish president in my lifetime was Reagan. A Hollywood actor is going to know how to dress, and while Reagan's style was admittedly "old school," he wore i...

No, I was reading through the play by play of oral arguments. Obviously, the providers of said pbp offer their own slant, but it appeared the conservative justices were throwing out some pretty hyperbolic situations to try to counter the government's position, and seemed fixated on the 20 year maxi...
