"'Nothing can be done' say officials in the only country where this happens regularly"

Hahaha, you think precedent actually means anything to SCROTUS.

We'd all better march down to the DMV and update our genders then...

It's required by imperial edict now.

That bastard is killing AFU soldiers for lack of equipment.

Execution is the only fitting punishment.

I think it's for the best...

I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓

I was most impressed by the calcite sunstone. Tremendously useful for navigation.

That being said, one would have to find which way is "straight" which may not be perpendicular to one of the crystal's faces, depending on how light refracts and is polarized through it.

One could probably do that with a small bright light source, like a candle through a pinhole, build a wood holder that indicates what direction the light particles go straight through the crystal without being polarized, and use that to calculate the sun's angle.

Difficult but doable, I guess.

Okay, I'm getting back on track now...

It's nice to have a couple of Gaku (glasses) centric episodes to start of the new cours.

He's a much more relatable character than the front-and-center narcissistic sociopath Haru, and we get to see some of both his upstanding moral character as well as his awesome hacking skills.

I did like the scene where he's drawing upon his varied life experiences and people he's met, aside from Haru, to prepare. That felt very relatable.

He does luck out...

And that Kirihime enters the picture and gives him exactly what he wanted, whereas a professional would likely.... have done something different.

Nonetheless, he does eventually realize that he has information leverage that he uses to get what he wants.

This show continues to be interesting to me, if less than flashy.

Oh yeah, OP2: "over the top" by Hiroji Miyamoto

and ED2: "EGOIST" by imase

Neither of these are very memorable compared to OP1, but Over The Top is better than ED2, and I do like the summary montage in OP2 that emphasizes that our heroes started from the bottom.

Predicting he'll call Mexico an "American protectorate" or some other bullshit before/during/after he invades.

Yes.

To be fair, $1.9 billion + $665 million in civil penalties is a good sized fine for laundering $881 million (that the Feds know of).

I'm sure HSBC won't make that mistake again, unless the profit motive overrides the risk again.
