I think GP is alleging that the feds used NSA spy shit to locate Mr. Mangione at the Pennsylvania McDonalds through his burner phone.

But… It is a violation of federal law to spy on an American like that. So the feds have not admitted to that. Instead, they manufactured an anonymous tip, based on legally obtained surveillance video from New York, in order to have a legal reasonable suspicion to question Mr. Mangione.

And then the local cops who responded fucked it up anyway by blocking his path of retreat, which is a functional arrest, and then not Mirandizing. And they also searched the backpack before they had any probable cause to do so, and after they had removed it safely away from Mr. Mangione. Without PC, the cops may search the backpack or Mangione for weapons only (the infamous stop and frisk), but they cannot search the backpack insides if they have removed it away from Mangione. The backpack is no longer a threat at that point

16 inches is the caliber, or the diameter of the shells.

The propellant is not shown here, and would be loaded separately in canvas bags behind these shells.

I want to point out a detail here:

The line “is referred to the Court” means that this case was yanked out of Justice Jackson’s hands by at least 5 other votes.

If Jackson had turned the case over voluntarily, it would say “and by her referred to the Court” instead.

As many times as you want, at least until the auto-pen breaks.

I’m pretty sure some of their flights out of DCA were moderately delayed. It was horrific!

I’m pretty sure on newer 737s the autopilot disconnects when it detects a sufficient physical force on the yoke.

On airplanes that don’t do this, the autopilot servos are clutched so that you can still override them by applying a specified amount of force. There are reinforced points on the bottom of the dash panel that you can use with your foot to get leverage to help with this.

(This also applies as a backup on planes that do disconnect)

Some more practical tips.

• if the autopilot is engaged, you can’t physically move the wheels, because it is moving them for you. Press the red button on the steering wheel to disconnect autopilot.
• That IAS tape on the left of the sky/ground box is the most important thing on the plane. It’s got red bands on the high side and low side that you should stay out of.
• if the plane tells you there’s a “stall, stall” you need to push the wheels forward to make the nose go down. And keep the speed above that lower red band.
• the black button on the wheel is the push-to-talk to talk on the radio, or maybe the internal PA system. Depends how it’s set up.
• most important: the switch for the “fasten seatbelt” sign is usually on the bottom of the top panel. You can flip it on and off as much as you want. (Older planes will also let you do this with the “no smoking” sign).

What the fuck is Justice Jackson doing ?

Here’s one analysis:

Jackson gets this application because it’s from the 1st circuit, and she is assigned to initially handle all shadow docket matters from the 1st circuit. By writing this admin stay, she potentially keeps the full court from stepping in and doing it for her. And this way she gets to set the 48 hour limit. This could cause the whole case to be decided one way or another a lot faster.

The supreme court let the trans passport case sit on the shadow “emergency” docket for 48 days. This stay gives the 1st circuit approx the weekend to make their decision, then the 48 hour deadline puts some oomph on the rest of scotus to make their decision.

If Justice Jackson did nothing, and 5 votes on the court intervened to issue a stay at 1 am, then there would be no 48 hour limit.

It appears to be German.

And Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation is pretty “dark” for solar-mass scale black holes and up, but it can become relatively very intense for smaller holes.

For the holes we observe astronomically, the things we can see are the accretion disks and the orbits of stars around the black hole.

UPDATE: As the deadline expired today, the prosecution dropped this motion which discloses that they searched an attorney’s phone with a warrant.

Because the stuff on this phone is a landmine of attorney-client privilege, they contend, there must be a complicated and lengthy clean room-style process to sort the privileged stuff from non-privileged.

Comey disagrees and wants to challenge the search warrant first.

I strongly suspect they didn’t actually turn over much of anything today, but we shall see.

You missed “CM,” which was common in copyright statements in the 20th century.

“White House” gave the big rant, not Trump. I wonder what Trump’s doing that could possibly be more important than this? My money’s on illness.

BUT this time her own children are facing the premium hikes. That makes everything totally, completely different.

Just for context, almost every federal court is a branch of a state court.

This is not true at all.

Federal courts are part of the judicial branch, not the executive branch. So they don’t shut down when the executive branch “shuts down”, because the shutdown laws don’t apply to them. As a practical matter federal courts can keep running for a while using saved up court fee revenue. They will eventually run out of that money and gave some tough choices about what to do.

Ah, you misunderstand. Venezuela is both a stable country that these 300k people can return to and a narco-state run by Tren de Aragua that regularly sends drug shipments into the Caribbean Sea on ordinary fishing boats.

You just have to develop a knack for holding onto both of these ideas at the same time.

The soybeans are not solely grown for export. They also fix nitrogen into the soil for the massive corn crop. And as to the corn, I think some of it is exported, but a lot of it is going to animal feed and high fructose corn syrup. So there’s a vector for food price impacts, particularly at the cheap and processed end of the domestic food supply.

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I present to you the Kavanaugh Stop:

Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.

It’s pretty well settled mathematics that infinities are “the same size” if you can draw any kind of 1-to-1 mapping function between the two sets. If it’s 1-to-1, then every member of set A is paired off with a member of B, and there are no elements left over on either side.

In the example with even integers y versus all integers x, you can define the relation x <–> y = 2*x. So the two sets “have the same size”.

But the real numbers are provably larger than any of the integer sets. Meaning every possible mapping function leaves some reals leftover.

There’s a rule that the flight has to be within so many minutes of a diversion airport at all times, and this is hard to do in Antarctica.

Nowadays, 180 minutes is fairly common, and there are some planes and airlines that can go to 240 or even as high as 370.
