Sure. Does it say you have to wear underpants? Asking for a friend.

Thank you, I was starting to think I was even more ignorant of legal terms than I thought.

It sounds like he's seeking an injunction?

Whole life, but it's all been for this moment.

I'm not sure how much to trust a source called "The Investor" since the bias is obvious, but it depends on how much a "grant" is. Bloomberg's report last year (which had quite different numbers, so either things have changed tragically in under a year or this site is misreporting) says the average is $23 US per month which could be easily sustained depending on what taxpayers normally pay. (Plus there are other revenue sources, which Bloomberg noted was buoying everything.)

Which is odd, since that's what they'll tell you what the faith is all about.

But it's consistent with how a bunch of celibate men are dictating sexual morality...

I've known a decent number off people who have left orders for similar reasons. You'd think the highers-up would be more understanding; just like you can be called to an order, you can be called away. Some of them seem to be, but most seem apparently hostile. (It's fair to demand some reflection and time to make the choice, but accept the choice made.)

This is totally an aside, but I kind of love how the news site felt we needed to know where their company HQ is in Seattle. I mean, I actually have a frame of reference for it and appreciate it a little, but it really doesn't matter for the story.

I know they often don't check returns, but now we know some specific stores that definitely don't. So there goes the risk in the scam.

Scammers in the area take note?

I don't know if a state where the governor is the highest-paid employee. Usually, it's a football coach by a wiiiiide margin. (Think millions, frequently.) Still, $116k is pretty solid when the highest-paid employee in South Dakota gets in the $300k area, at least compared with the margins elsewhere.

The real comparison is to what her staff makes and whether she gave them gifts.

I'm not saying prosecutors don't exploit the hell out of things at the expense of actual justice, I'm just saying the other side of the coin is that voters are letting them do it. Just like every politician who uses manufactered divisive issues: they're dog doo on democracies shoe, but we long as voters reward them for it, they'll keep doing it. No one is doing their jobs here.

I mean, a big part of the problem is that since prosectors are elected, voter lack of concern for the difference between "we got the person who actually did it" and "we got someone the public feels good about locking up" is just as much the problem.

Honestly, him selling hamburgers is kind of a relief, given that opening.

Yes. Calling something "incurable" is defeatist. It fosters an incorrect mindset that isn't helpful. A lot of people with currently incurable conditions will live long enough to see a cure and it's terrible idea to pretend that "not currently curable" means they can't hope for a cure. (Cancers less often, but even then.)

Besides, what's the point of writing news of not to be accurate?

Yeah, the headlines are kind of driving me nuts, too. "Previously incurable" would be a lot better. I mean, not too lose sight that this is great news and so happy for her and her family.

62% sensitivity. And 89% accuracy at locating tumors they detect.

It's not ideal, but it's up from 10% and for a $50 test that's not particularly invasive? I can see it being worth it to screen for and catch cancers earlier.

Depends what they're measuring. Cancer cells? Yeah. But other chemical markers? Not necessarily.

In fairness, the biggest problem with Theranos wasn't the concept, it was the small amount of blood they were fixated on requiring. I mean, apart from the fraud, obviously.

Detecting cancer traces in blood or even hair isn't unreasonable. Skepticism is good, but we also can't let ones (or a few) can artist poison the well. Given that this was published in PNAS, the research is coming from not a for-profit company, and they seem to have reasonable successes (62% is the overall), is believe it.

> Kelly said that there could have been some lightning that wasn’t detected by the radar.

I think that they use radio signals that the lightning emits. As far as I know, it's pretty reliable as long as you have coverage in the area and I imagine Texas did. Plus, there's space-based monitoring. Basically, the theory is coming up empty.

Or it was a racializing hook up. Not sure if that implies amazing sex or really bad sex.

The Tinder date part was pretty weakly connected, I'm sad to see.

How bad is it that "searching for buried treasure" is the good reason you think he might have been digging that hole?

No no, just ice cream!

Nah. A little nipple stimulation, tease the thigh... A really pro hooker ghost would tell you that's how you seal the deal.
