Can we actually agree on something here? Should I just start messing around with the BIOS settings?

Tooth. I can't even begin to process this. What are we actually doing here? Seriously?
Here’s a little something to help you chill out after two days of nonstop brain strain. 😁
I remember back when I was running things as a presiding judge, one of my colleagues came to me with this absolute mess of a rape case. Some guy in his sixties decided he wanted to assault a woman around the same age out in some field. It dragged on for an hour, but he couldn't actually finish the job because—get this—he couldn't get an erection. My colleague tells me he’s thinking about charging it as just "attempted assault." Are you kidding me? I asked him, "Is that really an attempted assault?" Because if we go that route, it implies nobody else under those same conditions could pull it off, and honestly, I doubt that's true! He just shrugs it off like, "Look, he's old, and it was freezing out there. You have no idea what a winter night does to a guy..." Whatever. I just told him, "Fine, you clearly know more about biology than I do, so what am I supposed to say?"
So he tried to rule it an improper attempt, right? And then—surprise, surprise—the Supreme Court overturned him on appeal and sent it right back. After that, he comes crawling back to me like, "Hey, I'm gonna rule it an improper attempt again, because that's exactly what it is. Let them overturn me again!" Honestly, I just told him, fine, go ahead. At least you’ll get the case off your plate once they hand it over to another panel. Anyway, some time passed and I'd basically forgotten all about him. Then, out of nowhere, here he comes again.
Look, they’re telling me I didn't even make a valid attempt. Fine, whatever. But let’s be real—I see exactly what’s going on here. Everyone over at the Supreme Court is older than me... if they actually admitted this was an improper attempt, they'd have to admit that nobody could ever win under these ridiculous conditions! So fine, if they need to tell themselves that just to sleep better at night, let them. I know the truth, and deep down, they know it too. It was an improper attempt, plain and simple.
Just some copy-paste from the depths of the internet.
Brandon Allen3 said:Just jumping in here (might help some of you distinguish between an actual attempt and something just ridiculous): under the new penal code, they’ve redefined "improper attempt" to mean nothing more than gross negligence. Basically, it covers doing something completely mindless, like trying to poison someone with chamomile tea or attempting to shoot someone from 1.2 milesblocks away
. It wasn't like this before; for instance, theft used to be labeled an improper attempt if, say, you tried to steal a car that had an anti-theft steering lock or an empty gas tank.
All in all, a positive move *drot13* 😁

If anyone actually cares, I’ve got this album somewhere where they did covers of some Ohio folk music ensemble on tin—"Tin Music from Gorican"—and I can upload it if you want (since this tin music is 🙏 (Calexico is a joke compared to these guys))
