Reading the /r/Cryptoscams subreddit is so depressing about the number of grandparents scammed into giving away their life savings.

The idea of autonomous drone carriers is going to be the next big thing in warfare. Think of the power of autonomous, underwater drone carriers that can silently project assets across the globe both silently and cost effectively.

You could serve "Chicago pizza" there, but just give everyone a tomato casserole instead.

P.S. this is a fun patent to use as an introduction to how independent and dependent claims work because the two filling (pb AND j) doesn't occur till a dependent claim.

Considering that OpenAI is operating at a massive loss, can OpenAI give an Offer of Judgment to give the Plaintiff its $10b per year negative "profit"?

“Why are intelligent people staying in the US? Leave!”

That isn’t economically feasible for many of us. Plus, I’d rather stay and fight against this idiocy than leave.

Glad I'm not the DOJ lawyer who will have to explain that in the courtroom.

(glad I'm not a DOJ lawyer right now for many reasons, tbh)

I will bet money this is being done to try and apply attorney client privilege to all of his work. It really just makes things complicated and expensive.

The annexed areas were more red, but they tended to not be strong supporters of the mayoral winner. In the general election, there were three “republican” candidates - one who was a more MAGA former police chief who has been fired by our current mayor.

As a resident of Mobile, I would also like to say that our mayoral elections are technically nonpartisan and tend to focus more on local issues. Also, the city borders have changed significantly over this time period, so I wouldn’t extrapolate these results to anything national.

When I summered as a 2L at Skadden, they made the summer associates share an office with a mid-level associate. I shared an office with a 5th year in their litigation department who just wrote appeal briefs in insurance cases.

Quickly convinced me that I would rather do IP litigation.
