I think she misstated "hypothetical" when she likely meant "moot." Something that will never happen again is moot.
I didn't say the answer wasn't weaseley. I said it was a lawyer answer. Lawyer answers are practically weaseley by definition.

Well, I suppose coolant exiting the engine in that fashion is better than exiting via the tailpipe. Or into the oil.

Interesting. Sierra Nevada is buying five of Korean Air's 747-8s in order to turn into the replacement for the Air Force's E-4B "Nightwatch" aircraft (aka the "Doomsday planes"). The four existing E-4Bs are based on 747-200s that were bought in the 1970s and are old as heck at this point, although a...

So they are following Ford, which dropped all cars but the Mustang. Toyota and Honda moved more than half a million Camrys, Civics, Accords, and Corollas in 2023, and that's not counting all of the other Elantras, Fortes, Altimas, etc. Seems like a not-so-smart idea to walk entirely away from those ...

I'm curious as to what she means with "law's been changed" to make it so that Jan 6th would never happen again. The question was specifically as to Mike Pence's actions on that day. Recall there was an assertion that the VP had the ability to reject electroral votes while presiding over the officia...

I personally prefer red cargo rice to brown rice. I get it at Oriental Market on McKnightmare road. Comes from Thailand, I think. Very nice nutty flavor.

Ah yes, just be wealthy and white to get the proper constitutional treatment. cause that makes it better. It's not a matter of being wealthy and white, although those certainly don't hurt. Plenty of wealthy, white defendants have pleaded guilty in the face of coercive plea bargaining. Let's say the...

I’m confident a person like Jack Smith should be able to navigate any f*ckery that is going on. It’s frustrating to the general public but this is the legal system the country has built. I’d also add that I wish Americans had the nerves of French citizens. Maybe our “leaders” would actually be held...

Cannon indefinitely suspends document trial. Seems like it’s time to escalate against her specifically and go to 11th circuit. What sort of relief do you envision that a request to the 11th Circuit would seek? Criminal defendants are entitled to speedy trials. The government is not. "The case isn't...

The A319ceo was actually quite a popular aircraft, with over a thousand sold. Three of the four largest operators of the type are American, United, and Delta (EasyJet is the fourth). It's basically a victim of the general up-sizing for narrow-body aircraft, because the A319neo has barely any orders—...

I can say that C.J. Stroud and Micah Parsons were at Arashio stable in Tokyo, because I recognize that it's coach Arashio, who went under the name Sōkokurai as a wrestler, in the background.

Is it likely to be settled out of court? I would not want to take this to a jury, especially in Allegheny County. We're nowhere near as bad as Philly in terms of large jury verdicts, but I'd bet this settles. The fight is going to be on the back end. The plaintiff's estate will probably sue both Pi...

I don't think it would even be a matter of looking for precedent. It's just a matter of maximizing the payout, which shouldn't be too hard because the negligence is so clear. I'd bet money that this would be a res ipsa loquitur (Latin: "the thing speaks for itself") case. That's a legal doctrine tha...

I don't do PI work and never have, but I'd take that case in a heartbeat. Shoot, I'd go all Shenderovich and do it for 25%.

Yeah, that is utter insanity. lol The concern, as I understand it, is that the IHRA definition of ant...
