  A federal grand jury isn’t a replacement for a regular federal trial jury. They’re completely different things. A grand jury decides if there is a strong enough case to take the charges to trial, or if they should just be dismissed. When a grand jury isn’t used, the trial judge makes that determination themselves. I agree that the terrorism charge will affect how the trial is conducted, but I don’t know enough on that topic to comment further.

  The question is are they really that incompetent, or are they really that malicious? Add in mislabeling the report as fraud instead of infringement, I lean towards them being malicious, but I guess that could also be gross incompetence. Either way, Brandshield looks terrible.

  I noticed missing dishing hammer for sheet metal shaping and caulking hammer for traditional wood ship building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got a double peen AMA⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dishing hammer is also important for armouring, and is missing from the picture.

  I stand corrected. Learn something new every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden Gummies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, figs are visited by wasps in the region figs are native to, but only in the same way that flowers are visited by bees. This picture is very much not what that would look like. This is, I’m certain, literally just a wasp nest.

  Yeah, I’m sure it’s some sort of expensive hobby he’s addicted to, and perpetual project motorcycle would be my first guess.

  Yeah, a little of column A, a little from column B.

  Right, those are relevant because they show the value of that inspiration. Inspiration that could have brought many more valuable changes to her life if she still had it, but sadly the park service stole that inspiration from her, along with many potential benefits it could have brought her if they’d just let her remain blissfully ignorant of the true identity of the inspiring bigfoot she thought she saw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a housemate who fried sausage patties and eggs in my cast iron skye every morning for a couple of years. Gave it a good wipe and that’s it. I’d cook other things in it sometimes and wash it up if needed. The seasoning on that thing developed into a deep black that was so smooth you see your reflection in it and you could fry an egg without oil and it came off clean with just a nudge from the spatula. It was beautiful.

  We went our separate ways and it quickly degraded back to a more normal “good enough” level of seasoning. It was great, but I’m not frying up a fancy breakfast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing you couldn’t recover from unless he managed to crack it. I’d wipe it down, and hit it with brake parts cleaner. If I was still nervous about contamination, I’d put it in an oven with the self cleaning function and run it. That should burn it back down to bare metal. A good scrub with dish soap to remove any residue and a good seasoning. I don’t know if I’d personally skip the heat clean step or not, but I’d definitely put it back in usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YES.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weevil time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ties are worn around the base of the neck, and the neck is the flexible thin part that connects the head. I see position A as being well below the flex point, which would be like wearing the tie low on the shoulders. That’s why I would prefer it at the bottom end of the joint. One could reasonably argue that anything above where the body narrows down towards the neck is part of the neck, in which case A would make sense.

  Semantics on where a neck starts aside, position B is clearly at the top of the neck and is therefore just nonsense not even worth considering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A square? A square?! Wake up sheeple! That things not even a rombus! Don’t you see the lies? Look at the lines! Look! Not all rhombuses are squares, but all squares are rhombuses! All squares are rhombuses and look at this thing they try to call a square. Where are the parallel lines? There’s got to be parallel lines, don’t you see, or then it’s not a rombus and all squares are rhombuses. Don’t forget that, don’t let them take that fact from you and perpetuate their geometric lies. Does no one even remember what a rombus is? This is, this is basic geometry here that you should have learned in middle school or elementary school, but then you just forget it, and let people trick you with these misleading definitions and fancy diagrams but you have to remember that a Square. Is. A. Rombus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a good samaritan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes, I was cheekily agreeing with that. It’s always good to spread the information that the end result of a person who isn’t specifically trained in rescue swimming attempting to swim out and rescue a drowning person is almost always just the two drowning together, even if the would-be rescuer is an otherwise strong swimmer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a good samaritan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I realize that other comments have already explained the law better than I could. I still wanted to say that fortunately, jumping in to drown alongside them doesn’t legally count as “helping,” so there is no expectations for anyone to do so.

  Sure, anyone can look around and see anecdotal evidence that Astrology is nonsense, but it’s nice to have a large statistical data set cleanly proving it.

  Classic Italian mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Italian "newspaper" wanted to depict the "indian heritage" of an US candidate. Chennai, Cherokee, the same.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we’re familiar with.

  Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There’s a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife’s grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you’re not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it’s very jarring.

  I’d bet money it’s scitsophrenia, so no this person has no idea how crazy they look. They’re just doing their part to fight back against whatever the hell they think is happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids and their computers these days.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I’ve never met this person and neither am I in any way qualified to make a psychological diagnosis, but that dude has scitsophrenia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans didn't invent agriculture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say it’s symbiotic to the continued survival and propegation of their geans, but not to their well-being as individuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans didn't invent agriculture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume that if they answer with a simple number you can point out they are being reductionist too, because the temperature differs measurably between the floor and ceiling, and that’s not even accounting for any air currents. Most of the time it is reasonable to reduce that down to a single temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon meets his gf's parents⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first sentence is real, the rest is just a fun bit of hyperbole. It really is not that common for an overprotective father to brandish a gun at his daughter’s new boyfriend, but it has happened enough times to become something of a trope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea Time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Teas are not boiled, but steeped in hot water that was boiling a moment ago. I was going to say that cowboy coffee is boiled, but then I looked it up, and even then, the pot is pulled off the heat before adding the grounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you mean what I think you mean, then you’re being down voted because your phrasing isn’t clear. I interpreted your comment to mean that removal any of dark skinned characters would often make the depiction less historically accurate, due to their historical presence as a minority of some sort across much of medieval Europe. If so, I agree that is amusingly ironic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are characterizing patterns seen across various medieval inspired fictional works, ranging from historic but not really, to full on fantasy inspired by medieval Europe.

  Took me a minute, but it’s comparing the story to observed hermit crab behavior.
