An NIH official told the Globe that administrators who oversee grants were given barely an hour’s notice of the terminations late last Friday before the notifications were sent out.

So who is actually sending the notifications out? It always is reported as if the people who should actually be doing stuff are somehow being circumvented by some actor that has access to higher levels than them, and can act as they would act, but isn’t known to anybody. This seems like the ‘deep state’ ‘shadow government’ bullshit that the republicans always screamed about. Every accusation is an admission, right?

Did I Mumble?

And all of your data that they’ve collected over the years.

Makes sense based on that article about his wang.

She used molotov cocktails and only did $5,000 in damage? I was really expecting to hear a few hundred Gs based on tesla’s prices and the cars I’ve seen go up in flames in the past.

Loopholes

It’s not even loopholes, it’s just farce. Substitute in fascist for anti-Semite. The only difference here is that the judges that matter are going to play along with the wordplay.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -Jean Paul Sartre

That’s quite the axe you’ve got there, mr. ayyy. You been grinding it on any dragons lately? Just, bringing it up on random comments about internet behavior?

If they did not read him his Miranda rights, that could be enough by itself to basically throw everything out.

Matey, stop commenting on things you’ve only seen on tv. Reading someone their rights is only done under specific circumstances, and only applies to certain evidence associated with those circumstances.

Anyone who cares to learn can read about it here in the excellent illustrated guide to the law.

I mean, I think he said it’s a pink wolf furry, so you’re probably good if he’s the one penetrating. If it was a pink furry wolf, on the other hand…

It’s the dog that knocks it off the possibility list for me. Most people who commit to the act of suicide start giving stuff away. That and a sudden ‘happiness burst’ are things that you sometimes see in people who have made the decision. Why would you take a chance to kill your dog, when you could just take a half day and get a vet to do it, or just ask someone to take care of the dog for a few days with the excuse you’ll be out of town or are hosting a party or a half dozen of the other plausible reasons?

Not the same person with the program. Just another person making an excuse.

hollowed out wooden dildos

I don’t think the Cage likes being referred to so blandly…

The others have already answered, but I’ll leave you with this nice summary, and a link to the best source of law info for the commonfolk in america there is.

If they can somehow prove that the arrest or search was illegal, that’s a huge deal and will get a ton of evidence tossed or even the whole trial nullified.

I can nearly guarantee you that one of the courts, whether the current court or a later appellant court, will weasel their way to saying that the evidence being used would have been found anyway (the second exception), and thus won’t get thrown out even if they admit to the search being illegal.

Honestly, that’s all they’re good for: creating paranoia/terror/nervousness in the subject. Go read the ‘how to beat a polygraph’ book. Knowledge is calming.

Also? It’s not anything to do with symptoms showing stronger on baseline questions. The only big giveaway is breathing. I work in the medical field. Blood pressure, heart rate, bla bla bla… they all vary with frequencies and magnitudes that don’t allow them to be filtered from responses that do signify anything. The only vital sign that has a low enough rate for changes to really be detected is how often you take a breath. If you control that, the game is over. A really observant tester watching a testee attempting (poorly) to mask breathing rate may notice something is off, but it’s still a judgement call whether it’s due to nervousness and the attempt to calm down, or actual deception.

The best way to ‘pass’ a polygraph is to be just nice/cute enough to get the tester to like you somewhat, and then control your breathing. The proper test has them talking to you for at least a half hour beforehand so they can ‘get an idea’ about you, so you have plenty of time to be friendly. Take advantage of that. There is some nice research out there about self-disclosures and their effect on being liked. If they see a pattern that could be you being nervous, could be you trying to deceive, being liked will tip them towards the kinder perception.

Meanwhile, I’ve told the absolute truth and failed. Polygraphs are dumb as shit.

sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep

Hmm, got a question for you about that. What did that appear as for you? Just a black screen and nothing else if it went to sleep?

I had a recently installed app fuck something in my settings so my display is going to sleep after 10 minutes, and when I wake it up I get a normal appearing lock screen with a login. If I login, the screen goes black and all I can see is the mouse cursor. I think about 1 time in 10 it will have no issues and I get back to whatever I’m doing.

I didn’t start with manjaro, but it was the only one that seemed to play nice with my system and programs out of the five or so I tried. I’ve never had an issue with it after 2 years, so… eh?

current evidence suggests that your body has to re-learn what’s good and what’s bad almost from scratch

While that’s horrifying, I wonder if it could offer a glimpse into ways to get rid of allergies.

I wonder if the media would ever have the balls to call out what, and more importantly why it was happening, or would they all bow and kowtow even further.
