I was referring to both grand and petit jury in general but yes, that is correct.

Yes, it was technically theft. Officers found the vehicle at his house shortly after it was reported missing. Not really an opportunity to return it. If all laws were prosecuted to…

My last stint on grand jury we had a case that none of us felt great about. It was a felony theft charge where the thief likely used the vehicle regularly but took it in the middle…

No, I mean using atomic bombs to manufacture these alloys at scale. In the 50s a-bombs were proposed for all sorts of workaday uses. Imagine using a small a-bomb for mining just as…

Interesting. Bring on the A-bomb foundries! Had this been discovered during the exploration phase of atomic bomb use we probably would have seen A-bomb foundry proposals. There is …

North America as well. Estimates are that 80-95% of the native population on the continent in 1492 had died from new diseases. Unfortunately, much of the evidence of large scale ha…

On a smaller scale plasma electrolytic cells look more economical than Haber-Bosch but are still new tech. I don't remember the company trying to commercialize it but their target …

I spent so many hours playing MUDs. I haven't found a type of game that comes close to the immersion and community of MUDs. I checked in on my old MUD a few years ago. Still there …

Its the same on Android now. Just another self inflicted gun shot from reddit. I now actively avoid reddit search results. Its unfortunate. Reddit had some toxic subs but at least …

What niche are you looking for? I usually append "forum" to topic searches when I am looking for humans with similar interests. I have found communities for all the niche topics I …

I first read about MOFs a few years ago when searching for methods of converting methane into methanol or other high value compounds. They really sound like sci-fi materials. The p…

Congress abdicated the majority of their authority to the executive over time by creating executive agencies. Now everybody is upset because the executive is actually using the pow…

Bismuth can also be used as a collector metal for smelting precious metals instead of lead. It even cupells the same way as lead.

To me the ideal use of PeerTube would be if studios adopted it as their publishing platform. Publish to their instance, syndicated globally. But, they are so hardcore on licensing …

The FED says that 2% is good. 2% is not good. Their target of 2% per year means we have 2% compounding annually devaluation of our currency.

The Alaska Permanent Fund is not a general government account. It is legally separate from state government funds.

Alaska will already pay off loans for teachers that will teach in rural communities. My friend taught in Yakutat for 5 years to pay off loans before moving to a larger town. But Ya…

Rural Alaska is a special kind of rural that most people won't take to. Communities off the road where you fly in on a small plane, take a river boat, or snow machine in the winter…

That is the opposite of my rule for game consoles. Always buy v1. It is most likely to have unfixable hardware exploits allowing for homebrew use later in its life.

Very disappointed that MS didn't stick with the watchband hinge. My wife's 10 year old Surface Book has had toddlers stand on it and the thing still works like new.

A national sales tax also gets around the insanely complicated tax code without government confiscation of wealth. Regardless of how it is earned money eventually gets spent. Rich …

Really the best you can do is with local mycorrhizae. Collect it wild and inoculate your yard. But, if you don't even really need to do that. Make the environment hospitable to myc…

This topic is endlessly fascinating. Facilitating interactions between fungi, bacteria and plant roots in the root zone is my goal as a gardener. All I have to do is feed the soil …

Really difficult to find a cough syrup with only high amounts of DXM and nothing else. All the brands changed their recipes in the late 90s.

That is not what "originalism" in regards to Constitutional interpretation means. An originalist will attempt to determine how a modern thing like the Internet would fit in to the …
