I’ve gotten a summons almost every year. Most of the time I just call in a few times and don’t have to report; most of the times I do need to report in, I end up sitting in jury pool room for half a day and then going home. Once I was selected as an alternate juror; I spent a few weeks listening to testimony with the regular jurors, but wasn’t needed for the deliberations or verdict.
Say someone else takes the visual result of the font’s output and re-posts it as plain text.
If anyone searches for that text, their version will come up as the first (and only) published version. Anyone who tries to reference it will cite their version instead of yours. You’d have to convince the court that a clearly different text you published earlier is really the same thing, as long as you view it with a special font that magically transforms it into the text you’re trying to claim—the judge would just as likely think you’re a copyright troll.
If the underlying text says one thing but the font makes it appear to say something else, which version does the author own the copyright to?
Eggshell finish.
It has a nice tactile feel, but without the visual distraction of linens or laids.
The plan was never to target criminals, it was to criminalize the targeted.
How does he envisage surface-to-air missiles being used against him by current allies? Defending Greenland from a US invasion?
I agree with the goal… but while I think a competitive primary leads to better outcomes, too many candidates leads to arbitrary outcomes that depend more on which factions have the lowest candidate-to-voter ratio instead of which have the most actual voters (at least the way it’s currently structured). Plus it increases the chances of a brokered convention, which leads to voters feeling disenfranchised no matter who wins.
IMHO whats important in 2028 is we have a big field in the primaries so we can see where the base is then.
I agree in principle, but the Democrats had a historically big field in 2020 and ended up with Biden. Sanders could arguably have won if Warren had pulled out earlier (reducing the number of candidates).
What would Schumer get from that? I can’t see him throwing away whatever’s left of his career just to help a Californian get the presidential nomination instead of another New Yorker.
Why would AOC need to cut a deal to win Schumer’s seat? What other potential Senate candidate could defeat her, but would stay out of the race for Newsom’s benefit?
We perceive things only when they change from our expectations — things with eternal duration never violate our expectations and thus form the invisible backdrop to the ephemeral things we do perceive (the way the proverbial fish is unaware of the water it swims in).
So the last decades of the UK Labour Party is the template US Democrats should be following?
A demiurge, “one who makes for the people” (from Greek demos “public” + ergon “work”).
Not to be confused with the Gnostic Demiurge, a secondary creator god.
They despise the Americans they imagine live in blue states. The ones they meet in real life, probably not so much.
I think the bivalve style is the more interesting case—it’s like their guts have a built-in mortar-and-pestle.
The Dane County Sheriff’s Department got the wrong man. I got the right man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?
Wikipedia has a whole article on this subject:

The exceptions it mentions are bacterial flagella and part of the digestive system of some bivalves.
The words “loyal” and “disloyal” don’t appear in the actual study—that framing seems to be the article editorializing. It makes it sound like the issue is social relationships instead of policy differences.
Sometimes I wonder if the entire planet was repopulated by the freakish occupants of some isolated Cretaceous cave system who managed to survive the asteroid underground.
My point isn’t whether or not the best candidate won, it’s that the outcome depended on how many candidates each faction split their votes between. It wasn’t a reflection of “where the base was” if more candidates supporting a side made it less likely to win.
