I don’t want an excuse, I want a justification. :)

My current areas of research are trans law, children law, criminal law, bioethics, and—increasingly—law in a time of fascism.

I’m a law professor. Please help me find a legal research project that would legitimately justify buying an entire copy of the Talmud.

I would have thought that if your MO was to replace gullies with roads with pipes under them, and then you end up with peak flows that are unprecedented due to climate change, the situation is fairly unavoidable and this would apply anywhere?

@drcuriosity.bsky.social any pointers?

I saw an interesting article the other day which suggested that they had migrated from BGP-based blocking to a more sophisticated system. In any case, if the servers and DNS are all inside any black-out line, why would access to online education be an issue? Obviously network topology matters.

Is this a rejection of European democratic socialism? Can you map this to orthodox economic concepts and tell me if you mean this as a serious testable proposition? Part (a) is NAIRU plus unpaid domestic care work? What is (b) and (c)?

Not because it's a birthday or anniversary or anything - just an ordinary day to miss Sam Prebble and again commend his amazing music.

I mean tell me "we gradually transitioned from a democratic welfare state to full on race communism" doesn't sound like the set up to a banger lost Ursula K Le Guin novel

We didn't deserve this day.

Looks right for law, too, except our "data" are often precedents "tangled together" with the facts of the previous cases, and the facts of the case at bar, in similarly subtle ways; and in law we get to try and shape the laws, which is less feasible in the physical sciences!

I'll be interested to hear what you choose. I'm in the same situation... an old 4WD Toyota 7 seater that only gets used for summer trips and similar. But my 2011 Nissan Leaf will stay my everyday car; easy to park, no stress if it gets scratched.

A colleague has a Polestar and swears by it. He tows a boat with it.

If I were to research this, I would start with the cases under the "male assaults female" crimes act provisions (not sure if I have the details right there, but that's where I would start)

Scheherazade, having failed to keep the Dow above 50,000, was summarily deposed of the next morning.

NZ/Oz folks: turned off your alarm for tomorrow?

(as appropriate, ceteris paribus, mutatis mutandis, your mileage may vary, void where not approved, may contain nuts)

Would this be a rational policy choice if the overall policy objective was to secure Russia's interests (by damaging the west and keeping oil prices high)? Not saying that's the objective, just using my "would the choices be any different if" test.

I'm sure you've looked at it with another OS? Does it have a backup GPT table at the end of the drive?

Pretty winter mornings.

Here is a document a month later from the senior officer mentioned above, reporting the concern to no less than the Director of Special Forces (DSF).

Here is a document from March 2011.

It is a typed record of a conversation between the note's author and another special forces soldier.

The record was made at the recommendation of a senior officer to whom the conversation was reported.

This seems like a bad idea.

i don't really know about other industries, but with software i have got to say that refusal to use ai at any place in development is acceptance of inability to compete. at the same time, refusal to maintain standards and quality through manual work is also acceptance of inability to compete.

NHS chief says UK has 'only days' before some supplies run out due to Iran war | LBC It comes amid soaring fuel prices and fears of supply shortages caused by the US and Israel's war on Iran

The NHS is already overwhelmed and is now facing serious medical supply issues. This is a very dangerous combination. Well aware I'm repeating myself here, but it's important to continue banging this drum: take active steps to stay healthy. This includes FFP2/3 masking
