IIRC cats lick kittens butts to help get them to go to the bathroom when they are really little. So the orange cat was potentially showing parental behavior towards the kitten.

So the Aerospace museum that talks about how we were the first country to make a plane or land a person on the moon means nothing to him?

Linguistics can change but typically forgotten and archaic words do not suddenly recur and become commonplace in the vernacular.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - swearing isn't a thing in the time of ToS as society has evolved
"Star Trek" Picard - constant swearing

Star Trek: First Contact - talks about getting rid of poverty, drug abuse, and society inequality
"Star Trek" Picard - has all of those things as themes

The guy who made "Star Trek" Picard literally said in an interview that the only thing he got from Star Trek was "who is that green chick Kirk is sleeping with". He took a show with strong themes of the idealistic future of humanity and turned it into a show that destroyed literally decades of established lore.

I mean it isn't even that. The US LITERALLY can't rule on Brazilian law any more than Brazil can rule on US law. You can't sue one country in a different country. This isn't even a venue shopping question if a judge actually tried to say it could hear a case about Brazilian law it would be an international incident.

I don't know if that fully makes sense. TL;DR he can't ask the U.S. Govt to intervene in Brazil's court system.

I am not a lawyer; however, there seems to be an obvious issue with that idea. The problem here is the property was seized according to Brazilian law. Any attempt to have Brazilian govt. assets in on U.S. soil seized due to a lawful seizure under Brazilian law would be an affront to the sovereignty of Brazil. That is to say that U.S. Federal Courts and U.S. State/County Courts are not a lawful venue for matters of Brazilian law and thus the case would have to be dismissed for a lack of venue.

They probably did that in preparation for this to give the new water time to acclimate and prevent putting any fish into shock from low water level, cold water, or something else.

Except he NEVER questioned about an ambassador in the movie. It was added just for the meme by someone who thinks they see a plot hole.

What do you mean no Ambassador? She's literally the Princess of Alderaan and also a Senator to the Imperial Senate. She *is* the Ambassador.

All the ones shown to be breeding were herbavores which didn't need to be fed. And if you factor in the Lysine contingency we already know they got their lysine from another source so they wouldn't have noticed any issues due related to needing to feed more.

That is true and in the books Ingen kept increasing the scope without raising they pay by strongarming him with their financial power and lawyers. So like sure Hammond probably underpaid him but the idea that he was the only one hired is laughable.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pMz74EpPA "Call Nedry's people in Cambridge". They didn't hire *A* developer they hired a *TEAM* of developers but only the head of the team had clearance to be at their top secret facility. Hammond did a bunch of stuff wrong but hiring "just Nedry" was never a thing in either the book or the movie.

EXACTLY! I always hate that people forget this. Watch the scene in the movie again and they say "Contact Nedry's team" and int he book it specifies he has a whole company. Everyone focuses on him being the only one at the park and skips over them saying explicitly that he HAD a team.

I mean to be fair it was the 80s/90s... how the heck were there computer systems going to count the number of dinosaurs in the park without someone going out and counting? Computer systems were not that advanced.

It was the right address for the warrant though which is important. It means that they had to justify why they thought that address was the right one which is evidence. Describing it as a "wrong address" implies and accident or simple negligence that could cause qualified immunity to come into play. I make sure to say the full story because that is the only way to hold them accountable and hopefully get past qualified immunity.

Actually OP it wasn't wrong address. It was right address but they'd ignored the 5 prior warnings that the person they were looking for wasn't living there anymore. So the police showed up to the address they got a warrant for they just... didn't bother doing any actual investigation and decided "yep that is the place".

#1 I'm 6'2" and about 255 lbs... it is IMPOSSIBLE to find dress shirts that fit properly. Either the neck is too tight / sleeves too short or it is designed for someone who is far larger (in either height or weight) than I am. I own multiple full suits I just can't find a shirt that fits properly.

As someone who works in IT those yahoos must have never had the satisfaction of single-handedly building and managing an IDF. You gotta treat your racks with respect.

I know right! Even for home runs punchdown is easy enough. They literally sell tools for like $25 that make is as easy as doing pass-through crimping.

There are 2 schools of thought some prefer to use the first host address in a subnet and some prefer to use the last. (.1 or .254 in a /24)

I mean probably. In this case though it depends. Prosecutors get to pick the cases they file so they could ignore it if it helps the FBI.

If a robber walks into an unlocked house and finds a dead body the murderer doesn't get off if the robber reports it.

I once had someone obviously lie and try to tell me that "treat others as I have treated you" doesn't mean to treat people as Christ would.
