Shame on me. It's a jaw controlled interface. Like speech. Not brain controlled like... telepathy.

You can tell it's bullshit right away because it's not anywhere near the brain. How do you pick up brain signals from the jaw? Compare this to what you need for an EEG and all of that gear is there to just record responses to pulses of light.

Insider threat. My organization archives our town halls with the President. There are hours of video available on the internal site.

William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”

William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”

Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

It's an interlocutory appeal. It's not like she has a choice in the matter.

That line appeared in "To Live and Die in LA" in exactly the same circumstances two years before "Lethal Weapon". TLaDLA also had the first wrong way car chase that's now a staple of every action movie. It's funny how it was so influential in the industry but has so little lingering cultural impact.

I didn't in the end. It was mostly because I don't want undocumented interactions. I have a hard enough time getting them to use office hours.

I want to normalize the use of statasstics for ass-pulled statistics.
