    Feeding 40,000

    The logistics of that boggles the mind. A very specialized and highly technical aspect of food service 

     

    Much like provisioning a ship:

    Or a cruise liner

     

     

     

     

    In this,  "Customs of Service," you can find cherts for provisions for Civil War federal armies.

    can they tell when a bullet was shot?

    Let's suppose that we have Joe over here and he has been shot to death.

     

    Reports of this tragic loss to humanity are premature.

    But if they were shot in a fairly close time range, could the cops tell which was shot first?

     

    Marry, no, by my troth and most cataclysmical apprehension, they cannot discern which gentleman was first made deceased, if their expirations be within the compass of two hours, more or less adjacent. For the corpse is a very equivocating witness, and Time himself doth proceed with such indistinctuality in these sanguinary proceedings that the constables and chirurgeons are oftentimes brought into a very palpable misconception.

    If one be killed at five of the clock and the other at six lacking a quarter, the body doth not immediately advertise the magistrates thereof, like a town crier with a bell. The warmth abateth by degrees, and the stiffness of death, being rigor mortiferous, creepeth upon the limbs with no exact punctuality, but according to constitution, weather, girth, digestion, and other circumstantial vegetables.

    Therefore, unless there be some additional demonstrification, as a witness, a clock stopped by bulletation, or one fellow still holding a warm pie in his hand, the officers are left in a most suspicious ignorance as touching which dead man had the seniority of being murdered.

    CRPA SCOTUS Overview

    I sure do not know the big picture either. I do see some pieces of it.

     

    Against the backdrop of current hardware cases and the Snopes denials last term...

     

    The 3rd may soon issue rulings in 2A cases. The newest judge on that panel is conservative and may flip that court. That court may be waiting for a ruling in Wolford or Hemani (or both) before finalizing its rulings. This is particularly true for a ruling in Koons v Platkin, a carry case and may be waiting on a decision in Wolford.

     

    The DC court did create a short-lived split for hardware, now vacated and going en banc. It will be briefed and argued. Wolford and Hemani are likely to get rulings before DC finishes the process but they are not hardware cases. Should SCOTUS accept a hardware case, DC is not likely to rule until SOTUS issues its ruling. It could even stay proceedings while waiting in the interest of "judicial economy."

     

    SCOTUS is possibly waiting on a ruling in the 3rd circuit before taking a hardware case. In particular, it may be waiting on the consolidated hardware cases (ANJRPC v. Platkin / Cheeseman v. Platkin). These have been briefed and argued, just waiting for a decision.

     

    So SCOTUS may be waiting on the 3rd on a hardware case decision before taking one, the 3rd may be waiting on SCOTUS in a people case and this may also be holding up its hardware case, and DC may delay its hardware case if SCOTUS takes one. The 3rd could even pause its hardware case if SCOTUS takes one.

     

    Prior to getting the newest member, the 3rd has previously ruled en banc on a prohibited person case (Range v Attorney General). Range obtained food stamps fraudulently, the court ruled a lifetime ban was unconstitutional as applied to Range. As this lower-court ruling was precedential and created a circuit split, it may be informing SCOTUS as it deliberates on Hemani (admission of drug use).

     

     

    Everyone waiting for someone else to make a move.  Like the classic "4 cars get to a 4 way stop at the same time" problem.

    Lately we've been binging on HFY (Humans  F Yeah!) fiction on YouTube. Basically SiFi short stories, Humans and Aliens. Not actually a video,  but audio book. Great background.

     

    There's a big subset of it about Aliens landing in or invading Australia. 

     

    Yes ... AI voices, sometimes good,  sometimes irritating,  sometimes mispronounced words that leave you hurting from laughing (listened to one yesterday about a human teaching Aliens about Mexican food).

    One example:
