Comment Bradley is stupid (Score 2) 17

This sounds like a non-trivial case with some big bucks. I'd bet his lawyers told him repeatedly, discuss this with no one. Anyone outside of the lawyer is NOT attorney/client privileged. And so what does the fool do? Talks to a chatbot that everyone knows shares. Right there in the ToS. I've had a few peanuts cases compared to this and even I was told speak to no one.

Loose lips sink ships or in this case, his case.

Cost saving from what I understand. Looking a bit stupid in retrospect. A friend of a friend raced a nice sailboat in the 80's that had a system. A roommate in college had a plane with lots of cool radios/navigation stuff. GPS has probably obsoleted many of those systems too, like I think it was called VOR's.

He certainly won't get what he deserves, but the R's may grow a spine after the Nov elections if it is a landslide and actually convict him in the senate this go round for fear of whoever is left will get the can in 2028. Remember only 1/3 of the senate goes up every 2 years for election.

But as you say, it will be the rest of us to pick up the pieces from this madman. It will take decades if ever for the US to claim back what was lost by this loon. My expectation is never again will the world trust us as before, never.

I'm thinking the orange one may have finally bit off more than he can chew with Iran though. I expect dramatic rise in gas prices which will push up all transportation and manufacturing costs causing a pretty big inflation spike in the run up to the election. And yes, I believe Iran is going to be a problem for months/years. How can we forget how long Iraq/Afghanistan took? And Iran has a much bigger military than either of those had. And then we have the Russia thing where Ukraine was going down in a week? Seems like I've heard trump mutter the same about Iran. And well we are at the end of week one. Anyone believe it is over? And now the madman has started about invading Cuba. He is mad with power, absolutely insane.

Nah, solution is really simple. Judge (I know I am dreaming here) puts order out that refunds are to start on Monday, and must process a minimum of 5B of refunds per biz day until all refunds processed. Failure to meet refund speed results in Donnie being sent to Reikers until they catch up on the refunds. I imagine they'd finish all the refunds ahead of schedule if it were possible to jail the clown over it.

I think I have multiple antennas. I put a bundle of shingles in the back of mine and suddenly the left back tire came up not reading. At first a bit of panic as the car assumes it is flat. It was fine. Get home, take shingles out, car sees left back again. Who knew shingles were a good rf signal blocker. Another reason I think I have multiple is the first set of tpms laster 12 years and were still good. So they were picking up a pretty weak signal by that point. I figured I'd replace with the latest tire set since I'd not want to pull the tires just to replace tpms.

As I recall, it was put into overload by a alien who was trying to kill someone or take out the ship. Don't recall. I think phasers were locked up except those used by security, the guys in red you did not want to be. They inevitably got written off(killed) if they had much time on screen.

I was thinking the same. People were not happy with even the idea of running a block as an experiment. And now this guy wants to reflect more as nothing more than a party trick, and looks like he is going to start imminently. Next I think we should propose encircling the earth with a giant sphere and people have to pay to get some light. I mean what could possibly go wrong. /s
