Is the SCotUS biased towards corporations?

Is the SCotUS biased towards corporations? This one certainly seems so. Are they biased towards specific corporations? Looks like that may be true, as well.  One of the reasons the SCotUS is an appointed position and a lifetime appointment is to separate the justices from any political biases. They can decide how they want rather than by whatever political winds are blowing. I guess our Founders never really thought about the influence of corporate interests. http://fixthecourt.com/files/2015/07/Updated-Fix-the-Court-amicus-research.pdf

Went to leave for a long ride this afternoon and after my first stop the bike wouldn't start.

Went to leave for a long ride this afternoon and after my first stop the bike wouldn't start. Was able to push it going and get it home where I grabbed the multimeter and started testing. Battery was low, but I'd just charged it having ran across this same problem a few days ago and had just assumed I left the lights on or something. Battery was low but nothing too low: 12.40 volts. Turned the electrics on and the battery dropped to 9.5-ish. Tried to turn it over but no bueno. I was showing a friend - who was acting as my extra set of hands - where to check the stator when I saw this (see below): Argh! Not only does it look burnt up, but the plastic connector melted. As far as I know, you can't buy those connectors separately. This sucks.

America's police forces don't just kill with their guns.

America's police forces don't just kill with their guns. They also kill with their cars, for nothing more than a minor traffic infraction. In Colorado, I believe, they are not allowed to chase if the speeds hit 80 mph due to that being the "kill speed." Besides, radio is faster than a car. Any car. Originally shared by Ryan “IT Lab” Drewrey High speed pursuits kill hundreds of cops.  They kill thousands of suspects, and thousands of innocent bystanders who just happened to be there.  In only a tiny percent, are these people murderers or violent offenders - they often are facing minor traffic citations or arrests for insurance or registration infractions.  So why do we still do them? Because cops find it fun, they are never at fault, and have nothing to lose.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/07/30/police-pursuits-fatal-injuries/30187827

#Windows10  is rolling out today and some of us already have it. I don't, but some of us do. Does this bother anyone? I mean, it's a simple opt out when setting up your new OS package, but are most people going to know? Is sharing wifi such a big deal anymore? At my house we have a main wifi and a secondary "guest" wifi (that's what you get when you live with a network security engineer). Does anyone actually tell their friends and family no when they ask to hop on the wifi? What about people who live within close proximity to each other? Does this mean neighbors who might be Skype buddies or Outlook contacts can suddenly ride on each other's networks? I live in a condo and can see about 20 wifi networks at any given time.  https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/07/windows-10-shares-your-wi-fi-with-contacts/

I'm only sharing this as a reminder that some people are total douchebags and there's nothing you can do about it. For example, this genius thinks it's okay to hit you on your motorcycle because, hey, if you were worried about dying on your commute, you would have bought a car - or probably, a truck. I have to believe that if you were hit in a Smart Car, Fiat or Mini Copper this assclown would blame your choice of smaller car.  And if you're in Texas, I want to know: is this par for course there or are people respectful of motorcycles?

We've seen a few articles recently regarding amateurs running around with their  guns and hunting store cammo trying to protect the country from the dangers of, well, just about everything. Sadly, they're all called "patriot this" or "patriot that."  And no one wants them around, but like the so-called Minute Men along the border, they're the only ones who are capable from protecting Americans from America: _Burt Williams, leader of ‘Porter Patriots 4 Truth’ (PP4T) reports they chased the suspect back to Sunnyvale mobile home park, east of Porter. It was then Burt claims shots were first fired. “We heard a shot coming from one of the trailers and took cover behind our vehicle. Shortly afterwards I hear across the deputy’s radio a stand down order given, and sure enough, they told us to go home.” It was on their way back towards the Wal-Mart on W Ford Rd that Burt’s pickup truck struck a deer, critically wounding the animal. Seeing the deer in distress, B

We will fast track them in treatment and support their family. You will receive no judgment; just professionalism, respect and compassion." The chief says "Addiction is a disease not a crime. We can’t arrest our way out of the epidemic. The Gloucester Initiative has been in operation now for about a month.

Don't worry, one of these gazillion GOP presidential candidates is about to make these idiots into heroes. Originally shared by Jeremy Nixon Soon after the attack on two military offices in Tennessee, a few guys came out of the woodwork who are so fucking stupid they think the military needs them to stand guard outside recruiting centers. “I’m nobody special,” drooling moron Christopher Reed said. “I’m just a guy doing my job because my own government wouldn’t do it.” He apparently makes his living “working side jobs,” and his job this week, as he saw it, was to stand outside an Armed Services Career Center with his AR-15. The military is not run by blithering idiots like Mr. Reed, and does not want its recruiting centers armed to the teeth, nor guarded by thick-headed wannabees, and Mr. Reed today got a lesson in why not: a negligent discharge. (Had he served in the military, which he did not, he’d probably have had a drill sergeant tell him there is no such thing as an “accident

I'll never go back to a straight "R" bike.

Image
I'll never go back to a straight "R" bike. I went from a ZX6R to my SV1Ks, which, while a sportbike, isn't a repliracer. It's more comfortable in the saddle and my friends on their hyperbikes routinely get annoyed when I'm not making enough "comfort" stops for them. There are plenty of non-repliracer bikes out there that are just as powerful and fun to ride, but with better ergonomics, than their more aggressive counterparts. And usually cheaper on the insurance, as well.  I remember sitting on a GSX750R once and I mentioned to the sales rep, "It's a little uncomfortable." He asked what I meant and I explained how the seat and the ergonomics didn't promise a comfortable ride sitting in traffic or on a long trip. He told me, "This is a race bike. It's not supposed to be comfortable. Hell, if you're not supposed to be sitting on it." That one answer changed my view of sportbikes forever.  Originally shared by Tony

While searching for something else I ran across this old post that didn't get seen by many people. Read it, ignore it, comment or don't - it really doesn't matter anymore. Originally shared by Jason ON The other day, in my exuberance, I posted an article about Spider-Man coming to the MCU via an agreement between Sony Pictures and Marvel Entertainment.  Yay for us all! Right? Apparently not. Brandon Sergent came to my post to declare the first Spider-Man movie, directed by Sam Raimi and starring everyone's favorite Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire, to be a rollercoaster of misogynistic fantasy. Now, I will admit that the first (and second, and third) Spider-Man movies didn't really portray any strong female characters, that Mary Jane Watson wasn't characterized properly and that aunt May and Ben were portrayed as much older than they should have been, but misogynistic?  Was the MJ character stereotyped as the damsel in distress? Absolutely. But, for thousands of year

Have you heard about Stingray technologies?

Have you heard about Stingray technologies? I know I've posted about them before now - from their secretive function of mass data collection to the almost top secret  wall surrounding the programs and technology. Let me ask you: considering the Fourth Amendment, is this technology legal? I think not. What's so wrong with a warrant? If you have probable cause you should stand up and get the warrant. When a government is sneaking around, circumventing the law it's then more than ever that we need to remind ourselves why our founders created the Bill of Rights. Originally shared by David Brin The key point here is not the one pushed by law enforcement or by its civil libertarian opponents, both of whom suffer from technological myopia and “tradeoff disease” – a mental ailment that causes sincere people to make statements like “we must sacrifice a little privacy for public safety” or – alternatively – “we must be brave enough to endure some danger in order to preserve freedom.”
