  • It’s kinda funny that, like Russia, this invasion is just showing how a an ‘elite’, ‘gold-standard’, ‘most-moral’ military in the world is simply incompetent at actually running a war.

    Given individual missions, soldiers can shoot their way in and out but they can’t handle communication between units.

    I have to imagine the groups coordinating the safe passage of aid trucks are either shitting all over the missile teams in the post-op briefings or filled with absolute dumbasses.




  • That is amazing!

    Authorities initially had difficulty spotting Armstrong in Santa Teresa, a popular travel destination, as many of those in the town physically resembled Armstrong.

    “I think from the get-go we were told … you’re gonna be in for a surprise, ‘cause a lot of the women in Santa Teresa look just like Kaitlin – a lot of them,” the deputy US marshal Damien Fernandez said to CBS.

    Investigators even enlisted a female operative to take local yoga classes with the hopes of spotting Armstrong, a yoga enthusiast. But police were unable to locate her.

    In a last ditch effort, US investigators posted an advertisement looking for a yoga teacher on Facebook.


  • Reads to me that, in most of the cases, she doesn’t see the final documents provided to 3rd parties. She can ask Trump org for what they provided and if they don’t hand it over, the court could presumably subpoena them.

    For most of the instances she references though, she pointed out issues, Trump org said they’d fix them, but her scope doesn’t include asking the banks if they finally got the corrected version or not.

    Given the scale of inaccuracies and errors though (such as not including $1.6M in management fees in a line item called “Management Fees…” and not including any depreciation for golf courses), it certainly smells like the court would at least want to dig deeper.





  • Nah. It already applies to everyone else - this is maybe just about limiting the pool of challengers.

    From the Florida Government site :

    Who Must File Form 6: All persons holding the following positions: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Cabinet members, members of the Legislature, State Attorneys, Public Defenders, Clerks of Circuit Courts, Sheriffs, Tax Collectors, Property Appraisers, Supervisors of Elections, County Commissioners, elected Superintendents of Schools, members of District School Boards, Mayor and members of the Jacksonville City Council, Judges of Compensation Claims; the Duval County Superintendent of Schools, and members of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Board, each expressway authority, transportation authority (except the Jacksonville Transportation Authority), bridge authority, toll authority, or expressway agency created pursuant to Chapter 348 or 343, F.S., or any other general law, and judges, as required by Canon 6, Code of Judicial Conduct.



  • Biden’s whole pitch is “I’m boring and sensible”

    Trump’s campaign is going to be “Let me finish what I started…Trust what you saw last time.” - so he can leverage both voters who want change and those who want the same old.

    If there’s a new Dem candidate, all of a sudden they’re trying to convince people to expect stability from trying something new.

    Compared to that, Trump looks a lot more reliable. And that’s before you even get into the personal attacks (which Biden thinks he’s already covered).


  • I hate teams that say Agile says “no doco”.

    The principle is “Working software over comprehensive documentation… That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”

    Agile absolutely needs documentation but it shouldn’t hold up delivering working solutions and shouldn’t be more complicated than necessary.

    We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.
