Illinois Supreme Court Denies Motion for Recusal in Gun Ban Challenge for Judges Who Received $1M Each From Anti-Gun IL Gov. Pritzker
by Margaret Flavin Apr. 16, 2023 8:50 am
The Illinois Supreme Court has denied a motion to disqualify two justices from hearing a challenge to the state’s new gun ban over perceived conflicts of interest. The two justices also declined to recuse themselves.
Before Elizabeth Rochford and Mary O’Brien were elected to the Illinois Supreme Court in November 2022, Gov. J.B. Pritzker gave each of their campaign funds half a million dollars from both his campaign account and a revocable trust, totaling $1 million to each. The two justices also received six-figure donations out of a campaign fund controlled by Illinois House Speaker Emanual “Chris” Welch,” D-Hillside.
Both Pritzker and Welch are top defendants in a Macon County challenge of Illinois’ gun and magazine ban brought by state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur. The county judge there issued a final judgment that the law is unconstitutional. The state appealed the case directly to the Illinois Supreme Court after a separate case was found by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to have a likelihood of success on the basis the law violates equal protections.
Late last month, Caulkins’ attorney filed a motion for the two justices to recuse themselves, or for the Illinois Supreme Court to disqualify them from hearing the challenge. Attorney Jerry Stocks argued “unreasonably large campaign contributions” from Pritzker and Welch “undermine public confidence” in the judiciary.
Asked in early March if the justices should recuse themselves because of the donations, Pritzker said that’s “ridiculous.”

you would be sorta correct
AI will have whatever commands and moral protections
that are built into the programming and depends on just what those will be.......
which says..........it ain't good........
take every little victory and be glad about it
because the world has gone insane
saw something today where they're telling women to smell their pooh
it's a new fresh level of hell every day out there
at least where I am
it's still sane
FINALLY....!!! . ... Jammer is in the calf pen and out of the house
was driving me bonkers and he was going bonkers being penned up like he was
between shoveling, putting coffee grounds on the snow, that 5'+ of snow
in the calf pen is finally down where he can stomp the rest
and he's pretty tickled to be out there
He did get banded to be a steer before going out
he's officially an IT now
kinda funny how some days....50 lb sacks of something feel like 90
got some 25 lb bags of milk replacer and they feel like 50 lbs this a.m.
so just taking it one step at a time
boxed up 9 dz cartons of eggs and had a dz left over to make the pups' lunch
still have cows to feed.....got the 8- 25 lb bags of milk replacer stacked
and then put the 2 -50 lb bags on top....use the oldest 1st.......
you never know when you'll have a bucket fed calf, so you have to be prepared.
Stuff's been going $120 for a $50 lb bag for decent stuff
Tractor Supply brand is garbage....they'd rather starve than drink it.....
even the pigs when we had 'em, didn't like it....soy crap...
tried it once in a pinch....never again......
will get Jammer some hay to play with until he figures out that's for eating
some people buy expensive calf starter......it's ridiculous.......
and unnecessary......just have a little patience and nature will kick in...
and he's getting switched from a bottle to a bucket today hopefully
so all you have to do is dump it in the bucket and walk away
and he goes to town on it............
so that's my GOOD news for the day
Stunning Satellite Images Show Rare "Superbloom" Blanketing California's Hillsides
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Apr 15, 2023 - 07:00 PM
After a deluge of atmospheric rivers that dumped 78 trillion gallons of water on California, effectively ending a severe multi-year drought within several months, a rare superbloom has emerged in the state's southern region across hillsides, and it's even visible from space.
CBS News reported new photos via NASA's Landsat 9 satellite show a rare wildflower superbloom in Southern California after years of drought. The wet conditions spurred the germination of flower seeds all at once, leading to large swaths of land covered in various colors.

Data-Centers & Small Nuclear Reactors - A Match Made In Heaven?
Powering these data centers is fast becoming a problem. Northern Virginia, for instance, hosts the largest concentration of data centers in the world. Tech giants like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google have invested $126 billion in Virginia data centers. And the region’s insatiable appetite for power continues to grow due to surging demand for cloud computing services.
Without reliable power, cloud service providers can’t grow to match the pace of increasing demand. But the electrical grid can’t keep up. Right now, power transmission bottlenecks in Northern Virginia could delay new data center development into 2026.
Data center developers across the pond are facing the same problem. Microsoft and Amazon halted plans to build new data centers in Dublin, Ireland, because of power shortages and threats of rolling blackouts. And British officials paused construction on new houses in West London until 2035 because data centers had already maxed out the local grid’s capacity.
And it’s not just power consumption that is sparking opposition to data centers. Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, noise pollution, and the overall sustainability of data centers are fueling local opposition that is constraining where—or even whether—data centers get built.
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook have responded to the demand for clean energy by investing heavily in wind and solar projects. But wind and solar alone can’t solve the problem. Those energy sources simply can’t deliver the uptime that data centers need. Consider the European wind drought of 2021 that cut wind power in the UK by 32 percent for 6 months. The need for round-the-clock uptime presents a serious—perhaps insurmountable—obstacle to data centers relying solely on sources of power like wind and solar that don’t generate power at night, or on cloudy days, or when the wind doesn’t blow.
Some people hope we’ll eventually be able to store surplus wind and solar energy in batteries. But the reality is that batteries are too expensive to store enough energy to supply reliable power for weeks (let alone months) of uncooperative weather.
The good news is that there’s a solution—a power source reliable enough to provide uptime round-the-clock at low cost and with zero emissions: a small onsite nuclear power plant dedicated to supplying power to a data center.

‘Digital Prison Camp’ — Putin Signs Electronic Conscription Notice Bill Into Law
MOSCOW (AP) – Russian President Putin on Friday signed a bill allowing authorities to issue electronic notices to draftees and reservists amid the fighting in Ukraine, sparking fears of a new wave of mobilization.
Russia’s military service rules previously required the in-person delivery of notices to conscripts and reservists who are called up for duty. Under the new law, the notices issued by local military conscription offices will continue to be sent by mail but they would be considered valid from the moment they are put on a state portal for electronic services.

"We've Been Warned": El Nino Watch Initiated As Ag-Industry In Crosshairs
by Tyler Durden
Friday, Apr 14, 2023 - 09:20 PM
This week, the Climate Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released an El Niño Watch, indicating the increasing likelihood of the weather-altering phenomenon developing in the Pacific Ocean. If El Niño does form, it could result in heavy rainfall and heatwaves in specific regions across the globe, potentially causing disruptions in the agricultural industry.
A watch is issued when conditions are favorable for the development of El Niño within the next six months. The Climate Prediction Center said probabilities have risen over the last month from 61% to 74% of an El Niño emerging between August and October.
Time to watch for El Nino! 👀 NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issued an El Nino watch in today’s monthly update.

Sex Toys, Cotton Candy, Red Piano: Influencers Write Off Ridiculous Items

Becoming a successful social media influencer is one of the biggest dreams among the younger generation. As millions of influencers create content across various social media platforms, an inevitable challenge arises: explaining their expenses to both tax preparers and the Internal Revenue Service.
According to a recent Adobe Inc. report, 14 million people in the US generate income by posting content on social media. Many of these folks are purchasing some of the most outrageous items for content creation.
WSJ spoke with influencer Ali Spagnola, who has been compiling receipts for thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including 15,000 Lego pieces, 40 pounds of cotton candy sugar, and a red baby grand piano.
