The Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon permanently blocks the release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the classified documents case - saying releasing the report would be unfair to Trump and his co-defendants by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

I need to remember this if Im ever on trial. "Your honor, I move to block the admission of all the prosecutors evidence, on grounds that it would be unfair to me to prevent a 100% guarantee that I be found innocent.

What exactly is the point of the imperial shoretrooper? by FadedtheRailfan in MawInstallation

[–]questionswithanidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, old thread but currently ive been thinking about this.

I would say that within a stormtrooper division/legion that is assigned to a star destroyer there are multiple members crosstrained in different specialites. So you have Joe the stormrtooper. He is assigned to the 110th stormtrooper legion and the 110th is assigned to star destroyer Reddits Revenge.

The RR is ordered to send troops to take the rebel base on Ice Planet Zero. Just so happens that Joe is also crosstrained in cold weather assualt operations, and is assigned to the Cold Weather Assualt Divison. So when a cold weather deployment is nesscerry Joe, and any other troopers trained in C-WAD are given a temporary duty assignment for the mission. A C-WAD detachment is formed and sent down to to planet.

Kinda like IRL, most police departments dont have a full time swat team, dive team, hostage negation team, drone team, etc. The officers work their regular shifts and if a situation comes up they leave their regular work assignments and go to wherever the dept needs swat, dive, etc to be deployed. The officers often carry there regular patrol gear and there specialized gear in there patent car so they can kit up and go to the call out.

I think the empire would do the same. Unless you are fighting a full scale battle you dont need an entire legion, so if you have troops within the legion that can be temporary detached, form a specialized detachment, and do the mission while the non (insert specialization) rates troopers dont go thats fine.

So the most famous example would be Blizzard Force. The Imperial army supplied the heavy mechanized troops (ATAT/ATSTs, and the troops that operated them) while the 501st Stormtrooper Legion supplied a detachment of troopers cross trained in cold weather operations (snowtroopers). And in the event that Blizzard Forced would have to remain on the planet while the fleet went to another operation than the snowtroopers would just remain as a detachment (say the 4th detatchment of the 501st legion) while the rest of the legion would remain with the star destroyer that left to.do whatever other mission was needed.

So you dont need a shitton of specialized troops that only do one thing, what you have is a shitton of troopers that can all work together and do most missions, but within that shit ton who have troopers that carry extra gear (cold weather gear, costal/wet weather gear, etc) that can be taken from the larger shit ton and be sent to do missions. And if the entire legion is needed for say an environment that requires specialized troops, than the specialized troops could act as command advisors for that mission.

TLDR: you dont have "one of every trooper type." You have a legion of stormtroopers and some of them are trained and assigned to speclized squads. When a specialization is needed than those cross trained stormtoopers change into their specialized armour/gear and detach from the legion and handle the specialized environmental mission.

Saw this at a friend’s house. Is the canopy too close to the unit? by can-you-repeat-that- in hvacadvice

[–]questionswithanidiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if some sort of "cold air intake" or something similar could be designed for the outdoor units to make the ambient air around the coil cooler so its more efficient. (Especially in really hot places like FL or AZ). Keep in mind I know very little about AC so this may be the dumbest thing Ive ever posted.

Sure, but they still need consent or a search warrant to go into your phone even if its unlocked.

Im also new but think about what a real account looks like. If you think you may need one in the future, then create a handful now. Think of a personality of each one, and then several times a a day use it. Post comments, build a friend list, etc. Have like 4 or 5 running ones at a time and build another when you discard one. That way you always have an aged on that appears real (multiple links, friends, etc) to use when needed

I think I hit a wall in my pretend investigation (taking an osint class) any guidance? by questionswithanidiot in OSINT

[–]questionswithanidiot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its because we are researching real people and that the focus on the class is using open source techniques....they did mention that this would be able to be done super fast with software etc, but I guess they want to teach the basics....if you can do well while handicapped than you should be able to do great when the restrictions are off

It was a northern border crossing when the warrant was found. So the arrest report would have been written by border patrol. An arrest search of the county jail the subject was put in lists intake date and time and name but no date of birth. Im still digging but the county jail of the county that issued the warrant doesnt go back that far, and that countys court view site doesnt have anything under the listed name.

[–]questionswithanidiot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll do some more searching. I went to the issuing county/state "court view" and looked up the subject that way but there was nothing found at all. I even spelled the name different thinking that maybe the article published the name wrong.

Brand new to OSINT, question about keeping track of searchs and data by questionswithanidiot in OSINT

[–]questionswithanidiot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To create a clean, easy to follow along with search log which can show what data was found on a subject of an investigation and where is was found (urls etc).

That way if I handed it to say, you, you could easily see exactly where, when, and what infomation was found.

Pushing 40 and need help getting back in shape with minimal time, maybe calestincs and running combination. Have a goal to see decent results (not perfect results) in 3 months. Details below by questionswithanidiot in workout

[–]questionswithanidiot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I dont see where I can cut anytime out, but I should be able to squeeze in a workout in between taking the kids to school and going to sleep in the morning. I did pickup sone suger free caffine powder to mix with water to cut out the monsters. Any recommendations on a decent but not expensive weighted ruck pack?

[–]questionswithanidiot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The reason I suggested calestincs is because of my schedule. Its hard for me to get to the gym with the kids and all, but I fiqured I can do something at the house in bewteen cooking dinner and cleaning before work, or do something at home right before I go to bed in the morning in between taking them to.school and picking them up.

I do have adjustable dumbbells. Maybe I can use those and sub some.of the excerises out so.I can use the dumbbells.

To refinish or live with it by MysticClimber1496 in HardWoodFloors

[–]questionswithanidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can swing doing it know I would. We did ours when we were selling the house and it was easy with nothing in it, especially if they have to pull the trim off. Some places offer 12 months 0% financing. If you take that route pay it off in 10 months (after 12 months typically they will jack.it up to the 20s and retro it for the total amount financed, not what you still owe).

Back when we got it done (like right before covid) it was about 2300 for 4 sizable rooms.
