Randomness Dos
While I have no doubts whatsoever that Nicole Brown was probably not the only white blonde female OJ beat up, that story has an odd smell about it. There would be no reason whatsoever for her boss to disclose the nature of the meeting when the only piece of information she knew was that Shapiro and...

I was a STH for 14 years and attended hundreds of games.
Pens just scored? Stand.
Penalty shot? Stand.
Shootout? Stand.
Pens about to close out playoff series? Stand.
Outrageously bad penalty call? Maybe stand to boo. Optional.
Other than those? Sit your butt down.

Well, a bee-themed team would probably make the most sense to be black and gold, but we don't want another of those, do we.

Salt Lake Swarm Ooh, that's a good one. It ties into the bees but that the same time seems a little tougher. I mean, a bee is nothing to worry about, but a no one wants to be around a swarm. And it has a nice alliteration with the S in Salt. I think that would be a great name for a SLC team. :thumb...

Shyster's thread of Spaaaace.
Congrats, I guess, to Roscosmos for what seems to be a successful test flight of the Angara A5 rocket, which was the first launch of the Angara from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. Despite being in development for decades, the Angara A5 has only flown four test launches, none of which so far have carried ...

Considering that Utah uses the beehive as a symbol, I think the Salt Lake City Bees would be the best name, although there is already a minor-league baseball team in town with that name. That team, however, is owned by one of the Jazz's minority owners (with the company that wants to buy the Yotes b...

Do the other factors of discovering violent messages and being recommended for immediate counseling go into the proximate causation part? I don’t think you would loan a gun to someone if they showed you a drawing like the one Crumbley did and told you they’ve been told to seek counseling. They woul...

Some animal behaviors are universal, because you could probably go to any bar in the country on any given night and see the exact same thing.

I do have a copy of my high-school record, but only because I requested it from my school to serve as extra proof of my birth and presence in the US for my passport application because there was a typo on my birth certificate (I think it was introduced from when Ohio scanned their paper records). I ...

I can accept that there is a bar. And we can have reasoned debates about where that bar is or should be. But I would hope there's little debate as to whether this particular instance was on the wrong side of that bar. I'm sure you will be shocked to hear that I disagree. The parents were charged wi...
RIP
RIP to Chadwick Haheo Rowan from Waimānalo, Hawaii, who as Akebono Tarō became the first foreign-born sumo yokozuna in 1993. Akebono's rivalry with the Hanada brothers—fellow yokozunas Takanohana and Wakanohana—led to a resurgence in the popularity of sumo in the 1990s, and Akebono won a total of 11...

End of an era today, with the final launch of the Delta 4 Heavy and the final launch of any Delta-family vehicle. The last mission carried the NROL-70 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (i.e., a spy satellite). https://twitter.com/DerekdotSpace/status/1777754085262766500 The Delta family...

Given (1) the level of hostility between the parties, and (2) that the states with deadlines (Ohio and I think Alamaba too?) likely have Republican election officials, I would not expect any extensions. Although, not having Biden on the ballot in either state isn't going to change anything because t...

So the state passed a law in 2022 that allowed for abortions up to the 15th week, with some exceptions. Is this a process issue where that law didn't specify that it was superseding the existing laws? How did its passing effect the decision today? The 2022 bill (Arizona Senate Bill 1164) specifical...

Arizona SC validates a law from 1864 banning abortion and charging people with crimes for aiding. This country has gone so far backwards. Whole lotta FUD about this on the interwebs, including the "abortion law from 1864!" Stuff. Yes, while the law was originally enacted in 1864, it was recodified ...

I'd scoped out what I thought were potential spots (using my "find some rural road where you can just pull over" strategy) before I left, and I picked some likely spots both in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I was originally planning on somewhere near Edinboro, but when I hit the traffic on 79 North before ...

Ok, that was seriously cool. Like a bullseye in the sky. The peeper frogs in the wood across from me all started singing, and there must be rosters on a nearby farm, because they were crowing.

Currently on the side of a country road somewhere near Cortland Ohio. NWS said better chances of clear skies to the west, so that's where I headed. It's clear here. The sun is down to a slim crescent.
