Netting 2.5 nets completed. The first net will be used to practice repairs because I made a few mistakes. The fix? Cut the bad part out and tie in a new section. Easy. The second net had no glaring errors. Mostly knots that did not get set perfectly and using a sheet-bend to tie on…

Snope and Ocean State Tactical This was a real bummer. We couldn’t get four justices to vote to grant cert. Thomas wrote a powerful dissent. Unfortunately, if the Supreme Court is only taking two or three Second Amendment cases per term, they will be picky about which cases they take. I believe that Thomas and…

Second Amendment Cases Seeking Cert Yes, there are cases seeking cert. No, there has been no real movement. Yes, they are still there. What does it mean? I don’t know. Mark Smith suggests that Snope being conferenced 16 times is a good thing. Certain controversial cases have been conferenced this many times, or more. If…

Tariffs I work with people that are dealing with tariffs. I needed to update a custom web application which handles purchase orders, inventory control, warehousing, sales orders and a bunch of other things. The owner explained to me how tariffs were going to affect them. I gave some of that in the Thursday’s post. What…

A.A.R.P. with SCOTUS This is just sitting there, waiting for the Justices to give an opinion. This is a motion for terrorists being removed under the Alien Enemies Act to be paused. The legal argument is that the terrorists haven’t been given enough warning to petition for a hearing. The argument also includes statements that…

SCOTUS is Busy Yost v. Brown et al. was just granted a stay. The plaintiffs (not bad guys) are attempting to get an initiative on the ballet. Before this happens, the AG of Ohio reviews the summaries of the initiative to verify that it is an accurate summation. The AG’s opinion differed from the plaintiffs…
