Judge Advises All to Try Quashing Subpoenas Due to DOJ Distrust

Judge Advises All to Try Quashing Subpoenas Due to DOJ Distrust

Does this impact anyone here or do you know anyone in the field this impacts (don't out yourself saying you have an active case with the DOJ).

I've just never seen or heard of anything remotely like this but these are insane times.

I'm trying to think of other analogous situations where the Court said, "Always assume party X is acting in bad faith and your first order of business should be filing to quash because I'll just grant it by default."

I'm imagining perhaps a court where they say, "Local PD are a bunch of liars so I'm going to toss out every single traffic ticket by default if you ask them to provide dashcam footage of the event because I know they just lie about everything and write bogus tickets."

*Paraphrasing obviously but regardless

Bill proposed to make data centers provide own power

Something Reno and Nevada overall should seriously consider passing on the state and local level.

We have (effectively) unlimited solar power potential.

They want to build here because we're cheaper than CA but close enough that the big CA tech companies can still get low latency connections to the data centers.

If they bring their own energy then sure enjoy but we don't need them leeching off our power and water and driving up all our prices.

Garmin panoptix max speed 45 knots?

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/567680/

>Withstands speeds up to 45 knots

I'm looking at some of the Garmin forward looking live sonars and it appears that they can't be mounted through hull on boats that go at or above 45 knots, so no "faster surf" boats?

Has anyone ever seen a forward facing live sonar on boats like that?

AI data center project secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water over 15 months before detected by residents complaining about low water pressure — officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2 million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use

FYI on yet another reason for why these AI centers are a blight for residents in cities.

>Fayette County, Georgia, was telling residents to stop watering their lawns to conserve water. The request came after homeowners in a nearby subdivision reported unusually low water pressure, but when the county investigated, it found the cause: a data center campus 20 miles south of Atlanta had been drawing roughly 29 million gallons through two water connections the county didn't know existed, Politico reported Saturday.

Restaurants, ice cream, food that you can dock with boat and eat at?

I must just not know which guides and websites to hit up. Everything is out of date (or AI gen slop sites).

I want to know what places there are to eat where I can pull up a boat to the dock, disembark and eat with the kids then hop back on the lake.

I'm South Tahoe but anywhere on the lake is good.

Bilge pump running occasionally when tied off in slip?

I have a Cobalt CS23 Surf.

It's tied off at a slip in a marina there's no wake nor waves.

It didn't rain and the boat was covered.

When I checked the center hull storage where the central ballast tank is at there was a fair amount of water there.

The ballast tanks were emptied when I docked so it wasn't that it was leaking from a full ballast.

It must have been running rather regularly as the whole side of the boat was covered in spray from it bouncing off the dock.

As I was loading up the boat for the day it kicked on again.

How often should the bilge pump run if a boat is sitting idle in still zero wake water?

I don't understand how was taking on water at all.

Today while I was on the lake for 5 hrs and the pump only ran twice. I was cruising around but didn't get any water splashed inside so it wasn't from taking on water from above deck.

*Edit:

Appreciate all the info. I'm getting it pulled out to be inspected by the dealer under warranty. They tried to say it was normal which is obviously BS. As someone said, its a slowly sinking boat being bailed out by the battery run pump.

I'll post back once it's sorted.

(...or if it sinks before the service tech gets there, either way). ;)

Self fueling boats on lake (allowed?)

I'm confused by this.

I thought you HAD to fuel your boat at a marina gas station if your boat is in the water.

Though I've seen people wheel gas caddies down the dock to their boat and fuel it in the slip?

Is that allowed?

Is that how people avoid paying $10 or more per gallon amd being forced to fill at the marina gas pumps (other than trailering your boat out at a ramp and driving it to the normal gas station of course)?

Now, I'm not a military lawyer so I don't know but... From what I remember, the military courtroom does NOT operate the way out civilian ones do. UCMJ is drastically different and, well, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around how a military lawyer would be expected to perform in a civilian court.

It's akin to dropping a lawyer into another country's legal system and having them go to trial...

Is there anyway this DOESN'T blow up in the DOJ's face??
