To add to this, each circuit requires an SC justice to be its “circuit justice”. Any “emergency” applications coming out of a circuit are addressed to the circuit justice individually, who can then make fast decisions as necessary. Any five votes on the court can then overrule anything a circuit justice does.

Anyhow, right now some justices have to do double duty on more than one circuit. So there is some kind of real impact to their workload that we could fix with 13 justices.

Used to be fabric bags. Then in the depression the flour companies realized their customers were making clothing out of the bags, so they started using cool prints for the bags.

Yep. My aunt got in trouble for exactly this when she was a child. Abused the grocery line of credit all summer getting unnecessary candy for herself and her siblings.

I’ve seen these pictures attributed to USS Abraham Lincoln on some other sites.

That ship recently suffered a major supply crisis while it was on station in the middle east. The reason is that Iran was able to deny the use of all of the nearby bases with their drones and medium range missiles. Thus the US Navy resorted to resupplying Abraham Lincoln from Diego Garcia, which is thousands of miles away.

So it’s plausible to me that these are real images, and they represent a very serious problem for the navy: both in terms of total calories and in the loss of morale from low quality.

In any case, Abraham Lincoln has since been relieved, and will make a liberty port call in Thailand after 245 days at sea.

Draft age gonna change in any real war.

This article is mainly about burglarizing parked cars. It doesn’t say much about carjacking, which is a bigger part of the gameplay loop in my experience.

The tcpdumps I’ve worked with can also dump UDP, ICMP, and even ARP.

The Atchafalaya is a distributary, not a tributary.

Depends on the state, but it’s often around 26,000 gross pounds, or some length + combination tractor trailer if not driving for hire.

I feel like it’s drifting into the tactical assault shed family.

Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn’t want you to see how inaccurate they were.

Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.

The FCC regulates closed captions on over the air broadcast television.

They’re not going to regulate the Internet streaming services.

This is the quality Lemmy content that I come here for.

Don’t forget the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. (and KFC).

Depends probably on the nature of what “forwarded the costs” means.

If the business collected the costs from you and then forwarded them to CBP while acting as your agent, then you can demand a refund from them or sue them.

If you agreed to purchase goods for one price while also agreeing to pay a separate “tariff reimbursement fee” in exchange for purchasing the goods, you’re probably shit out of luck.

Various shades in between might be arguable or litigatable one way or another.

If you already received your item(s) and you don’t immediately need to do any more business with them, it sounds like they don’t have a lot of leverage to get you to pay.

Sounds like that might have been a screw up on their part.

D’Angelo is not impressed.

No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

If you, as a consumer, directly paid one of the illegal tariffs, you can get a refund via the shipper who acted as an agent for you.

For example, here’s the form if you shipped something over the border using UPS and paid an illegal tariff to get it released from customs.

Year 1804. Close.
