Non-Euclidean geometry was developed by pure mathematicians who were trying to prove the parallel line postulate as a theorem. They realized that all of the classic geometry theorems are all different if you start changing that postulate.

This led to Riemannian geometry in 1854, which back then was a pure math exercise.

Some 60 years later, in 1915, Albert Einstein published the theory of general relativity, of which the core mathematics is all Riemannian geometry.

I have a relative that was in Nam and wears that hat, but he claims he was POG. I have another relative who lied about his age to get into Nam, who definitely was in the shit, and he doesn’t wear the hat.

I’m pretty sure that the military understands in general that the bunker busters don’t really work all that well.

I think the more relevant factors in this calculation are (1) B2 is a technology from the 1980s, (2) B2 still looks fricken cool, (3) Tomahawk was also a big deal in the 1980s, (4) Israel already did all of the work suppressing air defenses, and finally (5) the big parade the week before kinda sucked.

I suggest you read the recent unsigned per curiam order in D.V.D.. The law of the land; it is a changin’.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia does not really have a “legal” status, as he has an active final deportation order, with withholding of removal to El Salvador only.

He can be legally deported to a third country (not El Salvador) that will take him. Pursuant to the supreme court’s decision yesterday, he can apparently be deported to these third countries with no advance notice whatsoever.

Of course, deportation would make it hard to appear in Tennessee for his felony case. But that hasn’t stopped ICE before. People have been arrested for failure to appear in criminal cases, because they entered ICE detention.

People have reported being sold into slavery after being deported to Libya. Mauritania criminalized chattel slavery in 2007, but the law is not well enforced.

Before the 13th amendment, Lincoln formally ended slavery in the Union with the Emancipation Proclamation.

But even before that, from 1861, the Union Army made it a policy to seize slaves that it captured as contraband (or prize) of war, and then effectively emancipate then.

In general, even after the emancipation proclamation, slaves did not get actual freedom until the Union forces reached them.

So it was a complicated and messy process.

This is it. The old Huy Fong is completely gone now, unless you have a connection to someone who’s been hoarding.

There’s a different sauce brand now that is produced by Huy Fong’s old pepper farm using the same peppers. But I’ve been told that’s not exactly the same either.

Olive oil, although it’s not really 1-5 extra where I am. There’s a lot of advice to buy cheap oil for cooking, but that’s not really true. The truth is that a lot of ‘extra virgin’ oil is sold in an old, rancid state, and you have to upgrade into the mid tiers to get away from that.

Buy the best olive oil you’re willing to spend money on, even for cooking.

Another analogy can be made to Operation Praying Mantis, wherein the United States destroyed half of the Iranian Navy.

You can ride the Paris Metro in Paris, TX:

That’s because he tried to open the door. Everyone knows that on Boeing planes, only the door plugs can be opened in flight.

DB also made sure to select a Boeing 727 aircraft that has a rear stairway exit. It’s much easier to deplane that way into the slipstream.

In normal flight, the pressure differential between the inside and outside is pushing the doors against the frame with thousands of pounds of force. So it’s not possible to open the door.

If you really want to go sky diving, then be sure to dump the cabin (button is on the flight deck) to equalize the pressures. It will also help to slow down below normal cruising speed. If you do dump the cabin, keep the altitude below 15,000 feet or make an emergency descent to that level. Hypoxia is a beast.

This is a really awful tactic:

1. Immigrant with an ongoing removal case shows up to court date.
2. At the hearing, the immigration “prosecutor” moves to dismiss the case without prejudice.
3. The immigration “judge” agrees. The case is dropped.
4. At this point there is no removal proceeding against the immigrant, and they are free to go.
5. Out in the hall, ICE arrests the immigrant.
6. ICE starts expedited removal proceedings which don’t even have court or an immigration “judge.”

So these people who were previously following the rules, out on parole, are now locked up, and they no longer have access to the flimsy due process of immigration “court”.

Expedited removal was created by Congress in the 90s, and it was intended to be used at ports of entry, and maybe in the immediate border context, where you see people jumping the fence. But the deadline Congress put on it is two years; anyone in the country less than two years can end up in expedited removal.

On the director’s commentary, he states that the ultimate cause of Granger’s illness is deliberately left vague and unexplained. That’s kind of like a plot hole, sort of. Or maybe it’s mystery box, and not a plot hole.

Reverse Hackintosh.

In NASA’s lessons learned database, there’s one where the probe made out all the way to its destination, but the pictures came back all black. Because they forgot to take off the lens cap.

I am not a lawyer, and I am not your lawyer.

Off the top of my head, I can’t really see where or how this is illegal in most US jurisdictions. In “at will” states you can be hired or fired at any time for any reason* or no reason. And likewise you can quit at any time for any reason or no reason. If you can be hired or fired based on this scam, you can be promoted or held back based on it.

Having said that, this is really scammy, and I would not want to work there.

*except discrimination based on: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (>40), or genetics. Likewise, retaliation for unlawful sexual harassment.

There’s a third judge as well who has ruled on the “invasion” question. Hellerstein in SD New York, Rodriguez in SD Texas, and Sweeney in Colorado. They have all come to the rather obvious conclusion that the United States is not being invaded by a foreign nation or government.
