Never did, nope. Sent screen caps to Del and reached out to Stu. Del looked at the logs but nothing revealing iirc. |
A mystery for the books, then.

Anyway, some real good comes right after this, lol:
"Thanks Stu - I'm really sorry for all the drama but I don't want TA shenanigans spilling on in to the real world or my work or affecting my wife etc.
It wasn't actually jack but Lews was starting talk about my wife's company and her job/details (I'm only associated with online because I initially registered her domain, helped her pull permits and write her press releases and do interviews etc)." |
Bahahahaha! Such a fool.

Best part of the exchange is that RANN thinks we all figured out who he was because of specific stuff YOU GUYS were posting, when actually it had nothing to do with that Star Wars thread at all. |
Yeah, I was actually quite circumspect with what I posted. As I repeatedly reminded him in that thread, before he ran away forever, none of my posts were edited/censored by Stu et al.
Re-reading the thread, right now, I have to laugh again at my own line, 'I know one major project in which you were involved in a tea-making capacity.' ing tea maker Rann :stongue: |

Over-sensitivity or something after a cold. Nothing bad, but inconvenient in current situation. Luckily it's not all the time and not very loud.
Because of hay fever I don't go out too much now. Mostly it's only a few weeks for me, others suffer for months of that |
Phew, I'm glad it's not anything serious then!

We're handling this surprisingly well, all things considered. As of this morning we've had 6,109 confirmed cases, with nearly half of those now recovered, and only 51 deaths. We've definitely flattened the curve.
Obviously our population is lower than a lot of other countries (around 25 million), but things could have been considerably worse. |
The next few days look grim here: although we appear to have just flattened the damn curve in the Federal District, the president has chipped away some of the trust people had in governors and social isolation policies, so there are more people going outdoors as if nothing was going on.
We shouldn't see the results until the latter half of this month, but I'm afraid it won't be pretty :(

I might not be quite the creeps Thomas and Kavanaugh are, but I'd still much prefer not to have people poking around in my closet, looking for skeletons. |
Hey, hey, no one is going to crucify you over what you did to escape North Korea! Jokes aside, good to know all went well with law school :) |

get any crazies? i hear there are some nutty patents out there (perpetual motion machines etc). |
A lot of software patents are basically utter nonsense. For example, a patent owned by a major chipmaker claimed the concept of displaying video in the background of a computer screen while some other application remained "actively" displayed in the foreground. The patent office concluded that this patent was both novel and non-obvious over earlier publications showing another application overlaying video displayed in the background because there was no proof that the earlier applications were being "actively" displayed (I guess as opposed to passively? In any case, the office didn't elaborate as to what it thought "actively" meant in this context.) I have to deal with crap like that all the time.
The truly absurd stuff doesn't come across my desk in private practice, mostly because our rates are way too high. The crazies can't afford us, and even if they somehow got a patent and sued one of our clients, the client would figure that they could get away with hiring a cheaper law firm to defend against some whack-job.
That said, I did encounter a few absolutely ridiculous cases brought by pro se patent applicants when I briefly worked at the court of appeals. One woman claimed, in her 2008 patent application, to have invented the internet. She apparently believed that the patent office was rejecting her application solely as an act of race and sex discrimination. Spoiler: she didn't get a patent. Another applicant was trying to patent a supposedly-new cat breed. His appeal was also unsuccessful.

The joke's on me, now that the coronavirus is ravaging the United States, while North Korea does not have even a single case! Although the United States having recently surpassed Italy for the most confirmed COVID-19 deaths is at least proof, once again, that the U.S.A. is number one. |

My fellow Americans. Please be advised that Uncle Sam has provided special tax filing and payment relief to individuals and businesses in response to the COVID-19. The filing deadline for tax returns has been extended from April 15 to July 15, 2020.
God bless you, and God bless America. |

Right, when he's taking a break from, say, composing the theme music to major motion pictures like "Gladiator". :o |

Probably the news of tomorrow, as it's getting crazier by the day.
My day started with a good laugh this morning reading the newspaper:
Many GPs now work online.
"Could you please show it to me?"
"Sorry for the interuption Henk, but you are still logged in the meeting" :stongue:
