I’d expect redundant fuel pumps, redundant fuel lines in order for any tank (and any pump) to fuel all engines while shutting the remainder of tanks (and pumps) off. That’s been around since piston engine fighters in WWII at least.

I’ve been at it so long that my head’s thick,

AM I BEING CONSTRAINED? OR AM I FREE TO GO?

I've also heard that if you read something, look away, look back and read it again, and it's different, then you're dreaming. You can practice this experiment when you're awake; this will condition your brain to do that reflexively, and eventually you'll do it in a dream.

One of the possible outcomes of this kind of dream-testing is lucid dreaming. When you're dreaming, knowing you're dreaming inside the dream can give you some semi-conscious control of the entire dream universe. Wanna fly? BAM you can fly. Enemies need smiting? SMITE. Done.

Now I'm wondering if the "real me" that, you know is actually real ... doesn't just entirely believe that I'm really real, but is really just a dream of the next level up. Same thing goes for the other direction, with innumerable layers to the onion. How could I possibly know?

fuck

Even that few percent, I bet a vanishingly small amount is post-consumer. They’re mainly taking the trimmed waste from molding and putting it back into the production line.

They steered clear of it because SCOTUS is not a fact-finding court. That fact finding was already handled by Colorado courts. Trump did engage in insurrection.

SCOTUS answers questions of law, not questions of fact. In this case, it seems that they all came to the oral arguments looking for a way to justify what they already wanted to do: keep Trump on the ballot. There are a few justifications they may employ. (For the record, I think all of these are stupid, but I am not a Supreme Court Justice.)

• Section Three disqualifies an insurrectionist from holding office, not from running for office. (So if one wins the election, then what? This only kicks the can and makes it harder to address later on. It's a gamble that the insurrectionist will lose the election.)
• The President is not an "officer." (This is absolute nonsense, but there's a suggestion that it might go there.)
• Individual states should not be allowed to have a sort of "veto power" over presidential candidates. (There is already a patchwork quilt of procedures and qualifications for ballot access, and the Constitution grants States the sole power to manage federal elections.)

SCOTUS is going to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling barring Trump from the Republican primary ballot in that state, even though no federal entity has any authority over elections. What of Maine, then? Will the SCOTUS ruling mention or otherwise impact the Maine decision (which is itself still working its way through the Maine court system)? What about the other states that have challenges to Trump's qualification still pending? A problem that I see is that if the court finds that States do not have the right to disqualify candidates based on Section Three, it would seem that States also do not have the right to disqualify candidates based on age, natural born citizenship, or any other reason. Hell, a tortoise should run. Nowhere in the consitution does it say that non-human candidates are disqualified.

I frankly don't understand this court's obvious desire to order that Section Three be ignored for this candidate. I do see that a problem with Section Three is that it is written to be self-executing, but that it hinges on slightly subjective definitions of "insurrection" and "aid or comfort." This court's ruling will clarify that, but it will do it wrong.

Apparently, Ford's EV strategy included ending production on anything smaller than an SUV.

Commercial driver's license? I AM TRAVELLING AND NOT ENGAGED IN COMMERCE

I'm willing to bet the super tall pickups and SUVs are more likely to hop over those steel guardrails, too. Related: Those sloped concrete dividers that have a slightly shallower slope at their wider bottom? Those are super effective, because that bottom slope deflects the vehicle's front wheel, causing it to turn slightly away from the barrier instead of continuing to smash through it.

Texas has entered the chat.

Yeah that's the tack I've heard, just buy a month. I decided to buy a year, because I have existed for fucking ever, and there are a good number of those data brokers that drag their feet longer than a month to remove your info.
