2024.05.16 01:46 nightmare_floofer Wait a god damn second, something goofy I just noticed

In Drake's last track where he goes into the A minor B sharp shit, I just noticed the notes that play on the piano are G#/Ab (G sharp/A flat, which is not A, but is within A minor, so sure, let's give it a pass even if no one would immediately relate the two) C (which can be called B sharp in some scenarios so that's ok) but then when he says you thought you left D flat? D major! It plays a Db (D flat), so he sounds even goofier if you catch that and this is all because some of the referenced notes just wouldn't fit in the key of the beat, which in that case I would just choose not to even bring in the piano for that section, it feels too hand holdy to begin with, like "hey this is all musical references guys!"
Who's the producer of that track cause that D flat note is a sneak diss hahahah

2024.05.16 01:43 realbenlaing ISO bras with narrow or low gore for extremely close set chest (UK size 30 E/F)

Hihi, so basically, as the title says, i’m looking for bra recs for an extremely close set chest. As in, even without a bra, i could easily hold a pencil between my breasts, gravity be damned. I already know that plunge bras are my friend, but i find for a lot of them the gore is still either too high or too wide which ends up being really uncomfortable after a few minutes, so i really need as low or as narrow of a gore as possible, and am hoping some of you here might have some specific suggestions. I would also prefer something either with spacer foam or light lining because my nipples always sit right at the seams of unlined bras, and since i have nipple piercings, they end up looking extra lumpy without some level of lining under thin shirts, and that’s not always the vibe.
Size info: It’s been a while since i last measured myself but my calculator size from around this time last year was UK 30E/F or US 30DDD/G. I’m currently wearing 30E and it’s been fine for the most part, but i’ve gained a bit of weight so i might end up trying both 30E and 30F, but the change hasn’t been enough to need to remeasure entirely. I would also be open to trying options in my sister size (US 32DD) for the sale of having more affordable options available (located in canada), as i am a broke grad student who’s balling on a budget rn.
Shape info: Dense tissue, round shape, centre fullness, moderate projection and i think tall roots. I’ve been having a hard time judging if i have wide or narrow roots because none of the pictures quite look like me and i apparently need to be spoon fed this information. I know that i’ve generally had poor luck with balcony styles due to wires sitting uncomfortably (both the gore and the sides) but i do have breast tissue on my sides if that means anything. Cannot stress enough how close set i am though, my breasts are naturally almost touching so gore tacking in styles that prevent cleavage are borderline painful even in the right size. I also have very little “squish” so i genuinely can’t do a high gore unless i went up several band sizes. So cleavage is inevitable if i want to be comfortable.
Currently fitting bras: Atm, my best fitting bras are the natori feathers plunge and freya offbeat moulded demi plunge, both 30E. I also have a freya fancies plunge which i thought fit well but i’ve been noticing lately that the gore does irritate me after a few hours, and that it still tacks down to my sternum but also sits a bit on my breast tissue. Not sure if it’s due to needing to go up a cup or if it’s not the right style
The wacoal b’tempted and freya hallie both look promising for gore size but i haven’t tried either on. When i look up plunge/demi bras though, most of them look like they’d still have either too high or too wide of a gore, so i’d appreciate any suggestions of where else to look!

2024.05.16 01:36 DabbaStorm Advice for Someone Who Feels Like a Failure?

I got diagnosed in January of '22 and I am learning more about myself and the way my brain works every day. I've always struggled with school, specifically test taking. I transferred out of a university after having spent 3 and a half years there, to a school close to home. I come from a high-achieving and successful immigrant household where I constantly feel like I am letting down my family and everyone else around me. My first semester at my new uni was incredibly rough because I just transferred there, moved back home to my parents, and started working two new jobs on top of a full-time course load. Not surprisingly, I only passed two of my five classes so my GPA was immediately tanked and I was warned of academic probation. In my second semester (fall 2023), I took minimal classes and quit my job to focus on school. Despite all my efforts, I only managed to pass my classes with Cs and one D. My GPA increased but not by much. I was placed on academic probation. I just finished my third semester last week, where I got one A-, two Bs, and one F. The class I failed was very difficult and I tried very hard to pass my exams but I ended up scoring very low on all of them. My GPA was not great by it still increased from the previous semesters. Today, I received an email from my university letting me know that despite my grades improving because my GPA did not exceed 2.0, I am being marked for dismissal. I have the option of appealing for an extended semester of probation, which entails me having to fill out forms and meet with multiple boards to plead my case. I will be applying for the appeal but I am scared that they will reject my case. I will have to take a one-year break and reapply to study at the institution. I was supposed to graduate in May of 23 originally and I was hoping to graduate in December this year when I finish the remaining classes for my degree. But now, it looks like the goalpost is moving again. I'm catastrophizing since I can't be sure that I'll get rejected for the appeal, but I don't have much hope or faith in myself anymore. I am struggling to find motivation to keep going, to keep trying. I'm struggling to make sense of my life and I feel like I've failed. This is all being made worse by the fact that my aging grandparents are issuing ultimatums that they will not visit my parents here in the States until I graduate, my parents are constantly bringing up the fact that I'm at an age where our culture and society expect me to be married soon, and I'm secretly seeing someone from outside our community who is highly accomplished and I'm convinced that he's not gonna want anything to do with a failure like me.

23M Looking for a roommate for a 4 br apartment in Bedtsuy Brooklyn
Hey guys, my name’s Max Fielder. I’m looking for some roommates to join the lease to my apartment since my previous one moved out. It’s a 4 bedroom 1 bathroom, and I’m looking to fill the 2 empty rooms. Both are going for 750 each, or 1500 together utilities included. Perfect for you or a friend, or if you’re looking for a bedroom and an office space. The apartment is located in Bedstuy Brooklyn, just a short walk from the C and A train. Not too far from Broadway Junction either, where you can catch the J, L, and Z trains. There’s an in-unit dishwasher and laundry matt right around the corner. There's also a couple of parks nearby if you need a breath of fresh air. I'm okay with pets as well. Looking for someone to move in by June 1st, but earlier is better.
A little bit about myself, I work full-time and mostly keep to myself. Though I will occasionally have a friend or guest over. I’m not too much of a neat freak as long as the common areas are kept clean, but your room is yours to keep however you want. I myself don’t have pets, but I’d love to meet yours. I’m very friendly, but also very respectful of other personal space and privacy. You’ll find me with my nose buried deep in a book, or watch 4 hour long YouTube essays. LGBTQ+ are also very welcome (would love to go to the Pride march with someone)
If you’re interested at all please contact me by messaging me here, at my Instagram d.oorkno.b, or my email at [maximiliuscholar@gmail.com](mailto:maximiliuscholar@gmail.com) My schedule is pretty free this month so I’m available for you to check the apartment whenever you’d like
Looking forward to seeing you soon

2024.05.16 01:29 FOREXcom AUD/USD breaks out, USD/JPY rolls over amidst worst day of 2024 for USD. May 16, 2024

AUD/USD breaks out, USD/JPY rolls over amidst worst day of 2024 for USD. May 16, 2024
The US dollar suffered its worst day of the year and Fed fund futures now imply with near certainty that the Fed will cut by September. And that saw AUD/USD breakout in style and USD/JPY roll over, breaking below two handles on Wednesday.
By : Matt Simpson, Market Analyst
My hunch for a disappointing set of USD inflation data was incorrect, as traders enjoyed a double dose of softer inflation and retail sales figures. Even if data was mostly in line with expectations. Core CPI slowed to its slowest pace since April 2021 at 3.6% y/y, or 0.3% m/m – both as expected. Retail sales slowed to 0.3% m/m, compared to 0.4% prior and expected. Core retail sales was downgraded to 0.9% m/m from 1.1% although reached the 0.2% estimate. Whilst this is a step in the right direction, it should be remembered that prices are still rising and consumers are still spending.
Fed member Goolsbee added to the excitement of cuts by saying that “if decreases in housing inflation seen in April CPI data continues, that’s great”. Yet annual inflation levels remain well above the Fed’s 2% target, and we may have some more bumps in the road before they hit it. Still, for now traders got what they wanted, and that weighed on US yields and the dollar overnight.

USD dollar technical analysis:

https://preview.redd.it/2h5pls1xao0d1.png?width=1565&format=png&auto=webp&s=52960ce52fe9bcf28a34dc4c891ee14cc1fa1b3a
The US dollar index suffered its worst day of the year to safely claim ‘weakest FX major’ currency of the day. All of April’s gains have evaporated with May now on track for a bearish engulfing month at current levels. And if US data continues to soften, even modestly, bets are on for two 25bp Fed cuts this year.
However, the daily chart shows that support was found almost perfectly at the 200-day average, just beneath the Q3 open. Trend support is also nearby, in close proximity to the 104 handle and high-volume node. Furthermore, the daily RSI (2) is oversold. So whilst the monthly and weekly charts points to a lower US dollar, bears may want to trad with caution around current levels with so much support nearby.

  • Fed fund futures are now implying a 52.7% chance of a 25bp in September (or a 99.3% chance of a cut by September)
  • Wall Street wasted no time sending indices higher with the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 all reaching new record highs
  • The ASX 200 futures market (SPI 200) tracked Wall Street higher overnight and shows the potential to reach the 7866 target mentioned in yesterday’s report
  • The US dollar was the weakest FX major, sending the USD index beneath the 104.30 target (but is not trying to fund support around its 200-day average)
  • EUUSD closed at a 2-month high and is less than 20-pips from testing the 1.09 handle
  • AUD/USD broke above its key resistance zone around 0.6650 – 0.6660 to reach a new YTD high
  • USD/JPY fell just over 1% to mark its worst day since BOJ interventions, and further losses and move back to at least 152 seem likely with the US dollar bull-case quickly unravelling
  • Bitcoin finally enjoyed the bullish range expansion we’ve been waiting for, rising above 66k for the first time in three weeks

AUD/USD technical analysis:

The breakout of the Q3 and Q2 open prices were clean and done with conviction on AUD/USD. Prices stalled just beneath the 0.6700 handle and high-volume node from the January decline, so I suspect we may see some fickle price action around these levels early in today’s session. Note that support was found at the Q2 open on the 1-hour chart, which is also near the weekly R2 pivot – making 0.6685 a potential pivotal level for intraday traders.
But with traders on guard for even the slightest whiff of softer US data, AUD/USD could find itself extending its rally and heading for the daily R1 pivot or 0.6726 high should US data lean the ‘dovish’ way later today.

USD/JPY technical analysis:

After two (or maybe three) BOJ interventions, it seems market forces are now taking USD/JY the direction the central bank wants; lower. Wednesday’s bearish day saw prices cut through two handles and close below 155, and it now appears set to test 154 sooner than later. However, take note of a high-volume node around current levels which may provide interim support ahead of its next anticipated leg lower. The daily S1 pivot sits just above the 154 handle to make it a zone for bears to keep an eye on, a break beneath which brings 152 into focus.

2024.05.16 01:29 kyanma_hehe idk anymore

hey yall
i didn’t think id ever see myself posting vents to strangers but atp idk anymore
for context i am a rising hs sophomore (f).
it basically starts with this one girl. let’s call her K. K and I used to be super good friends (like BEST BEST friends we’d go on road trips all the time and we practically lived at each others house) since the beginning of 4th grade to the beginning of 8th grade. 8th grade was when I realized how toxic she was and I basically saw how naive i was and stopped talking to her altogether.
well, ever since then she’d spread rumors about me to her friends, talk shit ab me, fat shame me (and continues to deny she did), yada yada yada
the biggest thing is she deliberately takes my friends. like there’s ppl she’s never interacted with before, sees me hanging out with them, and instantly become their bff the next week or so. im getting sick of it but i never said anything because i DONT want to associate with K no matter what because i know this is exactly what she wants.
let me make some things clear first. K is super pretty, for the record. she’s gorgeous and i will never say otherwise. the only thing is, she’s incredibly manipulative and toxic. she talks bad about her own friends sometimes and whenever someone tells said friend she always denies and switches up. she talks to people (and drops them) as per her convenience. literally half of the upper grade hates her because she’s just not a good person. she talks bad about literally ANYONE and when she’s confronted she denies and laughs about it later. she makes stuff up about people and victimizes herself and basically switches the entire situation. it’s bad haha.
but anyways, she’s always trying to take my friends away from me, and the saddest thing is, it’s working.
most of my “friends” know about my thing with her. i don’t ask much of people, and i don’t hate anyone at all EXCEPT FOR HER. the one thing i ask of people is to not be around her while they’re with me. i’ve been asked the same thing except with different people and i’ve done so happily because i care for the people i interact with. the thing is, none of my friends seem to care and actively try to get us to interact, talk about her when im around, try to DEFEND her while i’m VENTING to them, say nothing when they hang out with her and don’t defend me whatsoever, and just flat out ignore me whenever she’s around when THEYRE the one who literally called me over. i know im a massive pushover, but i have limits too and honestly they’ve been crossed a while ago.
i can’t drop any of them either, since i see them all the time. i cry every night thinking about how bad this all has gotten because i genuinely don’t know who i can trust anymore. my parents are my biggest pillars, but they can’t be around everywhere yk… when im at school, school trips, out with friends, extracurriculars, shopping…… all of these things.
all i want is for someone to have me as a priority. i’ve had so many people like that but i don’t think it’s ever been reciprocated. i’ve always had someone as a “best friend” but i don’t think i’ve ever been someone else’s “best friend.” and every time i try, K always swoops in and fills that spot up instead.
it makes me so upset every time i think about it especially because it feels like there’s nothing i can really do
i always try to be nice to everyone i meet, people have always considered me a “ray of sunshine,” “the kindest person ever,” “so sweet,” “so kind,” but they only say that for show. “i love you so much girl i can always depend on you” but i can’t depend on anyone. i have so many “friends” but nobody who would stay awake texting with me for hours on end. nobody who would invite me over to their house on a whim. nobody who would text me on a random tuesday afternoon and say “wanna go out or smth”. nobody to say “you’re my best friend (my name)”.
i’m never enough for anyone.
i don’t know what to do anymore. i dont know if there’s anything i CAN do. i don’t know if there’s anything i SHOULD do.
im sorry if that was long and disorganized. thx for coming this far if you have lol
idrk what the point of this was but that’s it lol
gonna go cry now love yall 💗

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Advanced Materials


The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which controls dual use items. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals (FNs), their country(ies) of origin, the type of visa or work permit possessed, and the statement of work (SOW) tasks intended for accomplishment by the FN(s) in accordance with the Announcement. Offerors are advised foreign nationals proposed to perform on this topic may be restricted due to the technical data under US Export Control Laws.

OBJECTIVE: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) seeks to promote responsive, best value supplies of related materials, components, and systems to Department of Defense (DoD) customers and other DoD stakeholders. DLA investigates advancements in technologies and business processes for new and improved materials, more efficient means of their production, and competitive domestic supply chains which will lead to greater innovation in current and future defense systems combined with benefits to other commercial and government applications.
DLA is interested in exploring future defense industrial base uses for scandium (Sc) because of its unique properties as a pure metal and, as an alloying agent, to significantly increase the performance of traditional aluminum (Al) alloys, and therefore expand the use of Al alloys. Further benefits include, substituting aluminum-scandium (Al-Sc) alloys for incumbent expensive materials (e.g., titanium) and/or replacing material forms that are both costly and difficult to source (e.g., forging, complex machined parts, and extrusions), as Al-Sc alloys are highly compatible with additive manufacturing techniques.
Scandium can impart high strength properties to Al alloys which allows for reduced weight designs (compared to traditional Al alloy) and components for a wide range of defense platforms and other military items. Al-Sc alloys exhibit increased resistance to high temperature and corrosion when compared to common Al alloys. Of further interest, is the high weldability of Al-Sc alloy. Alloys with high weldability can reduce manufacturing labor and other costs associated with joining components and structures. Al-Sc alloy can be especially useful when used as a powder or wire in additive manufacturing. Potential DoD applications for Al-Sc alloy include the production and sustainment of missiles, aircraft, space launch vehicles, satellites, solider systems, military ground vehicles, marine applications, and other weapon systems (e.g., small arms and artillery).
While Sc metal has many attractive material characteristics, its cost is frequently considered prohibitive for Al alloying purposes compared to other alloying elements. In addition, the supply of Sc metal and compounds is limited and highly concentrated in a small number of foreign countries including China and Russia. As such, there is reluctance to develop wide scale uses for Al-Sc alloys for many applications including DoD weapon systems and large-scale non-defense applications (e.g., commercial aviation and automotive manufacturing).

In the United States mining operations for Sc ore are being planned and developed to feed a domestic supply chain and, recently, new sources of Sc now exist in Canada (an important member country of DoD’s National Technology Industrial Base). There are also established defense industrial base companies and other businesses in both countries that can significantly contribute to development and commercialization of Al-Sc supply chains for both military and commercial applications.

Given the important properties of Sc, and in anticipation of increased affordable domestic supply, DLA is interested in engaging small businesses with the capability to develop and expand expertise and industrial base production capacity of Sc-containing materials, especially in areas relevant to the supply of Al-Sc alloy components for DoD end-uses.

Specific materials, processing and manufacturing areas of interest include:

  • Raw material refining
  • High purity Sc metals, compounds, and alloys
  • Additive manufacturing feedstock
  • Additively manufactured DoD systems prototype parts

Research and Development (R&D) efforts selected under this topic shall demonstrate and involve a degree of risk where the technical feasibility of the proposed work has not been fully established. Further, proposed efforts must be judged to be at a Technology and/or Manufacturing Readiness Level (TRL/MRL) 6 or less, but greater than TRL/MRL 3 to receive funding consideration.

TRL 3. (Analytical and Experimental Critical Function and/or Characteristic Proof of Concept)
TRL 6. (System/Subsystem Model or Prototype Demonstration in a Relevant Environment)

DESCRIPTION: DLA seeks SBIR project opportunities in new and innovative materials, processing, and manufacturing of Sc compounds, Sc metal, Al-Sc alloy and master alloys, and related areas of additive manufacturing. While Al and Sc are the primary metals of interest for this solicitation, it is anticipated that additional alloying elements may be included to tailor the final alloy properties. Specific areas of interest include:

  • Processing mining ores (and/or scrap waste streams) into high purity Sc compounds (ex., Sc-oxide) feedstock for production of pure Sc metal, Al-Sc alloy, master alloys, etc.
  • Commercial production of high purity Sc metal (domestic feedstock preferred)
  • Commercial production of Al-Sc alloy powder and wire for additive manufacturing
  • Demonstrating additively manufactured Al-Sc alloy parts for DoD weapon systems.

DLA seeks opportunities that include strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in Sc materials processing, as well as strong collaboration with traditional or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers. DLA similarly desires SBIR opportunities that include collaboration with interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organizations.

PROJECT DURATION and COST: Proposals exceeding these limits will not be evaluated.
PHASE I: Not to exceed a duration of 12 months and cost of $100,000.
PHASE II: Not to exceed a duration of 24 months and cost of $1,000,000.

PHASE I: Phase I will demonstrate proof of concept in one or more of the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing. A technology development and commercialization roadmap will be produced along with a preliminary business case analysis for transition and industrial scale up. Strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing is expected, along with involvement of one or more traditional or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers. Strong support from one or more interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organization required.

PHASE II: Depending on Phase I results, Phase II will consist of establishing pilot scale or low-rate production of technologies that are successfully demonstrated in Phase I. Additional activities may include further materials and processing testing, characterization, and data base development of related materials and processes that can be used by future producers of scandium materials of interest (e.g., compounds, metals, alloys, and master alloys as well as related additive manufacturing powders and wire, and fabricators of aluminum scandium end-items). Development of a detailed business case analysis and commercialization plan will be required.

Strong industry supply chain collaboration with established materials companies relevant to the above areas of interest in scandium materials and processing, along with involvement from traditional and/or non-traditional DoD weapon systems suppliers, is required, along with strong support from interested DoD weapon system program offices and/or relevant DoD RDT&E organizations.

Innovative materials and processes, and commercially viable sources of their supply, shall be developed with the goal to readily transition to production in support of DoD and its supply chains.
PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Phase III is any proposal that derives from, extends or completes a transition from a Phase I or II project. Phase III proposals will be accepted after the completion of Phase I and or Phase II projects.
There is no specific funding associated with Phase III, except Phase III is not allowed to use SBISTTR coded funding. Any other type of funding is allowed.
Phase III proposal Submission. Phase III proposals are emailed directly to DLA SBIR2@dla.mil. The PMO team will set up evaluations and coordinate the funding and contracting actions depending on the outcome of the evaluations. A Phase III proposal should follow the same format as Phase II for the content and format. There are, however, no limitations to the amount of funding requested, or the period of performance. All other guidelines apply.

Transition Plan
  1. Period of Performance: TBD
  2. Budget: $ TBD

This Phase of the project should include:
  1. Delivery of a production level product to J68 ready for integration into the overall DLA Enterprise system.
  2. Develop a sustainment plan to support the delivered system for the lifetime of the program.

  1. Conclusions Noting that AA7075-T6 is widely used by both fixed- and rotary-wing military aircraft, as well as in space structures, the initial objective of this study was to directly compare crack growth in identical AA7075-T6 and Scalmalloy specimens tested in the same servohydraulic facility under the same stresses and by the same operators. The experimental data reveal that Boeing Space, Intelligence, and Weapons Systems AM-built Scalmalloy appears to be more damage tolerant than the conventionally built aluminium alloy AA7075-T6. As a result, Boeing Space, Intelligence, and Weapons Systems printed Scalmalloy would appear to be particularly attractive for use on a range of military aircraft, as well as for space applications. It also highlights the potential for Boeing Space, Intelligence, and Weapons Systems Scalmalloy to be used to extend the operational lives of military aircraft through the on-demand printing of limited life Scalmalloy replacement parts. The results of this initial test program have led to the hypothesis that the da/dN versus ∆K curves associated with Scalmalloy and conventionally built AA2024-T3 should be similar. This hypothesis was, subsequently, validated by comparison to AA2024-T3 da/dN versus ∆K curves taken from the Nasgro database. This observation subsequently led to the conjecture that the small crack da/dN versus ∆K curves associated with Scalmalloy and AA2024-T3, which are needed for a durability analysis, should be similar. If this hypothesis can be confirmed, then given that: (i) Scalmalloy has a yield stress significantly greater than that of AA2024-T3; (ii) AA2024-T3 is widely used in both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft; (iii) MIL-STD-1530D mandates that there must be no yield at 100% DLL and the US Joint Services Structural Guidelines JSSG2006 states that there should be no yield at 115% DLL, the use of Scalmalloy for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, and drones would appear to be very attractive. As such, the next stage in the study will involve the determination of valid upper bound da/dN versus ∆K curves for the growth of short cracks in AA2024-T3.

NioCorp Now Working With Automakers To Develop Aluminum-Scandium Vehicle Parts That Are Stronger, Lighter, Higher-Performing, and Fully Recyclable
Prototype Aluminum-Scandium Alloy Parts Have Dual Uses in Commercial and Military Applications
EV/Hybrid Sales Forecasts Predict Tens of Millions of Units Globally By 2030\1]), Underscoring the Importance of Bringing New Sources of Non-Chinese and Non-Russian Scandium Supply Online, NioCorp Says
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (August 14, 2023) – A phased program to establish U.S. commercial production of aluminum-scandium (“AlSc”) master alloy took another step forward recently as NioCorp Developments Ltd. (“NioCorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:NB) (TSX:NB) and its development partner Nanoscale Powders LLC (“Nanoscale”) successfully produced scandium metal at pilot-scale at a facility owned and operated by Creative Engineers in Pennsylvania.
The next step in the pilot-scale program is to produce kilogram-sized ingots of AlSc master alloy for independent testing and commercial product samples. The first of these AlSc master alloy ingots is expected to be produced in the coming weeks.

Three-Phase Commercialization Program

NioCorp and Nanoscale are pursuing a three-phased development plan for commercial production of AlSc master alloy. The goal of this program is to achieve full-scale AlSc master alloy production at approximately the same time as the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project (the “Elk Creek Project”) achieves commercial operation and planned production of approximately 100 tonnes per year of scandium oxide.
  1. Pilot scale batch production of 10 kilogram master alloy ingots**. Master alloy produced will be fully analyzed (metals and gases) at independent test facilities. Ingot samples will be available for third-party examination and prospective customer testing / sampling.**
  2. Commercial demonstration production of 100 kg ingots**. NioCorp expects to perform this work at a third-party ingot casting facility, which is expected to significantly reduce development timelines and cost as well as leverage existing facility permits and operator experience. The objective of this stage will be to optimize the production process and operating conditions.**
  3. Full scale commercial production of master alloy**. Assuming successful results at the pilot scale and commercial demonstration stages, and once project financing is obtained, NioCorp intends to secure an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contractor to construct, start up, and commission a full-scale production facility with the capacity to consume up to the Elk Creek Project’s projected scandium production of approximately 100 tonnes (Sc metal contained in master alloy) per year. NioCorp intends to co-locate the full-scale production facility with the Elk Creek Project in Nebraska in order to take advantage of the infrastructure (i.e., low-cost power, water, and natural gas) that will be in place for mining operations.**
NioCorp and Nanoscale also plan to develop recycling approaches for scrap alloy, including work-in-process material and post-production scrap.
Qualified Persons:
Scott Honan, M.Sc., SME-RM, COO of NioCorp Developments Ltd., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information and verified the data contained in this news release.

***SEE RESPONSES FROM NIOCORP/JIM SIMS FROM AUGUST 14, 2023 ~Good morning - Jim!

While waiting for Niocorp’s 2023 F.S. Release… The announcement for Scandium Alloy Production & Scandium alloy funding are most welcome!

Leading me to add to my line of questions regarding Scandium & (Niocorp).

A) Would Niocorp qualify for a portion of this recent funding once approved by Congress? Moving forward.
RESPONSE:

"This funding was placed in the FY24 DoD Appropriations bill at the request of Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, for the purpose of helping to fund NioCorp's effort to establish domestic commercial production of AlSc master alloy. There is always a process within the DoD to select appropriate projects with funding provided to it by Congress. In this case, however, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees provided additional guidance to DoD on this topic in their respective National Defense Authorization bills, including prioritizing domestic production of such materials. "

Next Question ~ For context:

(Imperial mining, CleanTech, & Scandium International all have patents on Scandium & Sc aluminum alloy products. Rio Tinto has established a North American domestic supply(@15 tons/year with expansion capabilities) & has established a working relationship with Boeing.
Niocorp has produced Scandium aluminum with both IBC (under Chris Huskamp now with Jabil) & with Ames Lab, but has yet to patent any process or materials.
Niocorp has established a working relationship with Nanoscale to produce patentable Scandium Aluminum products in the years ahead…)
Jim-
B) How Does/will Niocorp’s expected Scandium production & future patentable Scandium materials be utilized by management moving forward? Once realized…. ; and How do/would they compare to those materials & alloys already developed or patented?
RESPONSE:

"Latent markets for scandium oxide and aluminum-scandium master alloy – both commercial and military -- are quite large, and we are working with a number of potential scandium consumers and related technology companies interested in scandium. We will make announcements in this area as developments require. In general, we don’t comment on detailed commercial business strategies except in the course of necessary announcements and/or public filings. "

C) In addition to Niocorp’s collaboration with NanoScale. Is Niocorp currently working/engaged with other entities such as (Ames Lab, DoD, DoE, Chris Huskamp/Jabil & others) on Scandium Materials/patents?
Or on Niobium, Titanium, or Rare Earth future products (Oxides, Magnets…)
Please comment where possible.
RESPONSE:

"There are multiple such engagements ongoing now for each product in our planned product offering. In general, we don’t comment on commercial business strategies except in the course of necessary announcements and/or public filings. "

D) Are other Entities besides EXIM Bank and Stellantis still interested as possible Debt/Equity finance or Anchor Investos partners moving foward?
Leading to a Final Elk Creek Finance package?
RESPONSE:

"YES!"

Page # 225-26 ~Aluminum-Scandium Master Alloy Production

The committee recognizes that China is a major producer of high-purity scandium oxide, which has many powerful applications in defense technologies, including strengthening and light-weighting defense and commercial aviation systems. As scandium oxide pro-duction is established in the United States, a missing supply chain component is the conversion of scandium from its oxide form to aluminum-scandium (AlSc) master alloy. This process step is required for utilization of U.S.-mined scandium by many defense applications. At present, production capacity of AlSc master alloy is limited to one facility in the United States. The committee recognizes that the United States may soon become a major producer of highpurity scandium oxide by virtue of a proposed mine and mineral processing project in Nebraska. The committee recognizes the defense-wide importance of a vertical domestic supply chain for both Scandium Oxide and AlSc master alloy and the critical importance of both materials for the production of air-, land-, and sea-based combat systems.

2024.05.16 01:27 BenchPointsChamp 10 most talked-about prospects: Why each is a Rocket, and why each is NOT a Rocket

I’ve never been more confused about who I want to draft. It’s changing on a daily basis almost, and sometimes more than once per day. There’s no clear tiers beyond Sarr, and there’s no perfect prospect.
Considering there are so many possibilities with this pick, including trading it, I wanted to organize my thoughts, then I figured I’d share it with you all.
These are the top 10 most considered prospects as far as I can tell from the chatter on Reddit and Twitter. These are in NO PARTICULAR ORDER.
Reed Sheppard (Combo Guard)
- Why he’s a Rocket He's the "Advanced Stats Darling" of the draft class, and addresses what is currently Houston's biggest need (shooting). Nice hands on defense. Showed out at the combine with "sneaky athleticism". Smart player and good passer.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket He's undersized, at 6'2" with a 6'3" wingspan, weighing-in at 182 lbs. Despite being a bit of a menace in passing lanes, he gets blown by on-ball & will be targeted by opposing offenses. He only took 4.4 3PA per game in college, which is quite low for a 58% shooter. Will he be able to get his shot off in the league?
Stephon Castle (Guard/Wing Hybrid)
- Why he’s a Rocket Castle is a winning player with outstanding size & length for his position, boasting a 6'9" wingspan. He's the best POA defender in the class. Ime loves switchable players.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket Wasn't much of a shooter in college, despite having excelled in the 3pt shooting drills at the combine. Unless we're confident he can develop a respectable shot, how do you add another non-shooter to this team?
Nikola Topic (Lead Guard)
- Why he’s a Rocket For one, his name is Nikola… Other than that, he's a 6'6" legitimate PG who has contributed to winning in Serbia at only 18 years old. He's a great finisher at the rim with elite body control and a talented playmaker who excels in the P&R.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket He's not a shooter, and it's not certain what he could offer in an off-ball role. Houston would have to be committed to his role as a lead ball handler enough to relegate Amen to the wing, and it seems too early to give up on him developing a viable handle. Topic also has a knee injury history and is currently injured, so he may be difficult to evaluate.
Rob Dillingham (Lead Guard)
- Why he’s a Rocket He's twitchy and athletic with great handles, is probably the best playmaker in the class, and his footwork is otherworldly. Good finisher at the rim, even finishing through contact despite his size. Very good shooter with a lightning-fast release.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket If Reed is undersized, so is Rob but arguably even more. Defense is questionable at best. Can be a erratic and has a tendency of overdribbling. Does his skillset overlap too much with Jalen Green? How many athletic guards does a team actually need?
Alex Sarr (Center)
- Why he’s a Rocket Size, length, mobility, rim protection, shooting upside - what more could you want from a prospect? He could play behind or beside Sengun. Great fit and probably the best prospect in the draft period.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket He probably won't be available at 3, and it may not be worth trading assets to move up for yet another raw young player, despite the fit & ceiling.
Donovan Clingan (Center)
- Why he’s a Rocket A two-time NCAA champion, Clingan is a beast of a human standing 7'2" and 282 lbs with a 7'7" wingspan and a standing reach of 9'7". Maybe the best interior defender to come out of college in years, he could be the perfect yin to Sengun's yang, coming off the bench to take away the paint from opposing offenses.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket Using a #3 pick to draft a backup to the team's best player could be considered a misuse of the asset. Houston is already fairly deep at center, with Steven Adams, Jock Landale, and both Jabari and Jeff for small-ball lineups. Clingan is also an "old school" center, and the league is moving to more athletic and mobile centers.
Kel'el Ware (Center)
- Why he’s a Rocket Measuring-in very similarly to Sarr, Ware is a lengthy lob threat who can defend the paint. He also shot 43% from beyond the arc, albeit on low volume. He's also not too shabby as a passer. Could be an incredible value in the 15-20 range in a trade-down scenario.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket While he may have more tools than Clingan to be used in more ways, he's not nearly as dominant at defending the paint. There are questions about his motor & some compare him to Christian Wood. Taking Ware would also require finding the right trade partner - will the asset gained from trading down be worth it?
Zaccharie Risacher (Wing)
- Why he’s a Rocket Risacher is a lengthy 3&D wing who can finish and shoot (40% from 3). You can never have too many of those kind of guys in the modern NBA (so they say). Having another floor spacer could be helpful, especially one with a pro comp like MPJ. He plays in a Euro league, so he's faced tougher competition than any of the guys in college have.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket With Dillon, Jabari, Tari, Amen, and Cam already on the roster, how do you find minutes to give this guy? His FT% is barely 70%, so is the shot real? Euro leagues don’t play many games, so there's a small sample size. He also may not be available, as many mocks have him going 1st or 2nd overall.
Matas Buzelis (Wing)
- Why he’s a Rocket With good handles & nice footwork for his size, he can create his own shot. Matas has one of the highest upsides of the class and pro comps like Franz Wagner are enticing. He's also a good shot blocker as a help defender, which could pair well with Sengun. If he bulks up he could probably play 2-4.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket Matas is coming from the G-League Ignite, which doesn't exist anymore mostly because it was deemed a terribly broken development program. He shot very poorly throughout the season and plays with an aversion to contact.
Dalton Knecht (Wing)
- Why he’s a Rocket Quite possibly the best movement shooter in the class, Knecht can also score from all three levels. He's an NBA-ready 6'5" with 6'9" wingspan who shot 40% from 3 in college as the focal point of an SEC offense. With other scorers around him, his 3P% could get even better in the league. A late bloomer, Knecht's journey started in JUCO before going to a mid-major and then dominating the SEC his senior year.
- Why he’s NOT a Rocket He's 23 years old. His defense is sus, which seems to be mostly a matter of effort considering he aced the lateral movement drill at the combine. Is it reaching to draft him at 3? Would it be worth it to try to trade down a few spots, or not worth the risk? If he projects to be a role player for Houston, couldn't they simply find a floor spacer in free agency?

2024.05.16 01:23 Tokimekus_art Online Colleges for Interior Design?

I’m hoping to take an online college to get my bachelors degree in interior design. I graduated this month with 2 college ready scores and 2 college credit scores on my GED (I’ve been homeschooled since 3rd grade!)
So far I’ve looked at online colleges from here (https://www.accredit-id.org/accredited-programs/#states) After doing a bit of research, I’ve eliminated the Academy of Art, Rocky Mountain and Yorkville University. (i don’t think my financial aid will cover schooling from Canada) I’ve also been looking into Ohio University but their online program isn’t CIDA accredited yet and that’s a bit worrying.
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.16 01:21 That-K1D-03 Guy at Work is a Creep {Possible Harassment}

Now before I start my story, I guess I’ll describe how I look. Maybe this is relevant to my story, Idk, but I’m pretty short, like 5'4", with kinda slim, medium-length hair, and I look very young. People always say I look 14–16 years old, though I'm 21 years old. But anyway, not too long ago, I started working as a janitor at a refinery, and I think this older gentleman in his late 40’s might be a creep. When I first met him, something about him felt off, it seemed like his aura wasn’t good, like I got that gut feeling that he’s not a good person. Now I’m not a spiritual person in any way; I already had my traumatic religious experience, but it definitely felt uncomfortable. Well, months go by, and I’m cleaning one of the lunchrooms by myself, and he walks in and strikes up a conversation. Now I don’t remember what the conversation was about, but I remember he said something, and I smiled. When he saw me smile, his smile immediately disappeared, and he got all awkward and nervous, which I thought was very weird. But since then, I feel uncomfortable when I’m around him, so I try my best to avoid him as much as possible. So if I see him and he says hi, I just greet him back and try my best to go somewhere else to clean. Well, months go by without anything happening, just the usual greetings here and there, until my supervisor switches our groups around, and on my new route, I have to clean his office at the end of the day. So one day I go to the room where his office is to clean it, and at the time I didn’t know his office was in that room because the time I go there to clean everyone has already clocked out. Unfortunately he was there in his office, well after I greeted him, I start taking out the trash from the cans, he comes to the fridge next to me and opens it, looks for one second, immediately closes it, and says something along the lines of “Yeah, I had to stay a little bit overtime, so I’m just here putting in the time into the computer,” which I immediately notice is his excuse to talk to me by “checking” the fridge, which I thought was very weird. He then starts asking me how the weather was when I came in, this and that, all while with a blank, nervous face. So I answer him as fast as I can so I can finish my task and leave. I tell one of my coworkers (A), and he tells me that’s how he is with everyone—a very nervous and awkward person, which I guess, but Idk, I just don’t buy his weird demeanor. Until there was this one time, which was kind of recent, where he was in front of one of the entrances to the building where my break room is. A little explanation: I go through that entrance because it’s more convenient for me than going all the way around the building to the other entrance that’s directly connected to my break room, but unfortunately, his office is right next to the entrance I go through, hence why he was there, but he knows that I always go through that entrance. But I didn’t want to deal with him that day because I had to come in early and I was very tired and sleepy, so I just went ahead and went the long way around to the other entrance after greeting him back. Well, me and my coworkers (B&C) go to work and come back to the break room around the usual time we clock in, and that guy ends up showing up. Now he doesn’t work with us; he’s just the timekeeper for our company. So he comes in through the door to my right and starts talking to my coworkers (B&C) that I came in with, then he makes his way between me and my other coworker (D) and is on my left. The whole time he’s there, I ignore him because I didn’t want to deal with him, and I was texting my coworker (A). Then he makes his way to leave by walking between me and coworker D. Now he has plenty of room to go through; he can move sideways to pass through, but as he passes through, he rubs the back side of his left hand all over my left shoulder for a good couple of seconds as he’s passing by. I immediately felt sick to my stomach, because he obviously did that on purpose, like he was getting back at me for avoiding him. Unfortunately I know there’s no bases for me to possibly tell HR about this incident, He will just make up a bunch of excuses and they’ll believe him because he was just “passing by” and “accidentally” brushed his hand on my shoulder. As sicken as this is, I’d probably have to wait until something more serious happens to actually tell HR. Though I will say I tell coworker (A) about how I feel so he has my back, if the unfortunate were to occur. Now I did tell this to my mom and sister which they comforted me but it seems like I’m at a roadblock that can potentially get worse. Any advice?

2024.05.16 01:21 Fun_Bookkeeper5509 Orientation: Médecine ? Compta ? désespoir ?

Avant toute chose, merci pour votre aide.
En primaire/collège je détestais la svt et les sciences globalement, mais avec les bons profs j'ai réussi à en faire une passion. J'ai fais un bac ST2S (bac techno axé sur la bio et la santé publique) mais au lieu de suivre les chemins classiques comme l'ifsi ou autres études paramédicale, c'est vers la fac (L1 Science pour la santé) et la las (option ajouté a une Licence permettant de candidater pour médecine en partie) que j'ai décidé de m'orienter. La différence de quantité de cours était immense, mais comme c'est ma passion j'ai réussi à tenir, et je pense maintenant que j'ai fait une première correction de mes épreuves, qu'il y a des grandes chances que je sois accepté en médecine. J'adore réviser, et réviser toute la journée n'est pas une chose qui me fait peur. En parallèle je suis actuellement en couple avec une fille en DCG (permet de devenir comptable voir expert comptable si poursuite en bac +8)
Je n'ai actuellement rien contre les vaccins, je suis même contre, mais un est obligatoire pour accéder a médecine: hépatite b. Il y a une paire d'année, une polémique a éclaté affirmant que celui ci causait des cas de sclérose en plaque (maladie pas ouf à avoir au quotidien, et dont la gravité et les conséquences ne sont pas les mêmes pour tous). Actuellement je m'en fou des polémique comme ça, mais ma tante en étant jeune a fait ce vaccin et a été diagnostiqué de la SEP un peu après. (mon autre tante et ma mère eux n'ont rien eu). psychologiquement je n'arrive pas a le faire, j'ai peur de tellement de choses: et si ce vaccin donne réellement la SEP a une sous population non identifié génétiquement ? et si ce vaccin est vraiment nocif mais c'est étouffé par conflit d'intérêt ? et si ce vaccin ne fait rien, mais que je le choppe par hasard: toute ma vie je vais regretter ?. Je sais que la balance bénéfice/ risque est de mon côté, que je risque moins a faire un vaccin protégeant d'une maladie potentiellement mortelle plutôt que d'avoir peur d'un risque présumé, mais concrètement j'ai tellement peur de regretter d'une façon ou d'une autre de faire ce vaccin.
a) La médecine: quand je vois les programmes je sais que c'est CA qui me plaît, c'est réellement ces programmes qui me font quelques chose et qui me donne envie, faire médecine c'est réellement un rêve.
b) Continuer en licence puis en master: La fac c'est de ce que je vois, deux options: -le doctorat qui est pas du tout mis en avant, flemme de me donner corps et âme pour un métier et être payé un SMIC alors que j'ai bac+8 -tous les autres métiers parallèle à la recherche (assistant de recherche clinique, pharmacovigilance etc) mais ça me semble être des métiers tellement peu concret, qui au final s'éloigne pas mal de la bio tel qu'on la voit a la fac? j'ai réellement l'impression que la fac de science c'est de la branlette intellectuelle sauf pour les doctorats. en gros si je reste a la fac je ne ferais pas de doctorat, donc les études c'est cool je vais kiffer ça je ne dis pas le contraire, mais une fois dans la "vrai vie" je vais vite me faire chier.
c) abandonner la santé pour aller en DCG (compta). oui c'est un domaine qui m'est inconnu, mais je me dis que j'ai réussi à aimer les sciences car je les ais travaillé ? pourquoi pas la compta ? pis si je suis destiné à faire un métier qui ne me plaît pas, autant que celui ci soit plus concret, avec une plus grande embauche, et avec une évolutions en terme de salaire plus "assuré" ? finalement je me dis que si j'ai le courage de penser a médecine, c'est pas étudier quelque chose de full nouveau qui devrait m'effrayer (au sinon c'est médecine que je devrais abandonner)?
d) les épreuves du DCG peuvent se passer en candidat libre, je pourrais aussi tenter de rester à la fac au cas où j'accroche pas du tout au monde de la compta, et bosser à fond pour avoir le dcg en même temps ? comme j'aurais plus mon option santé ("médecine") ça va diviser par deux mon travail lié a la licence rajouter les cours du DCG va juste au final me donner la même quantité de travail que j'avais de base cette année.
donc l'avantage de combiner DCG et fac c'est pouvoir rebondir si ça me plaît pas, mais en contrepartie j'aurais moins de possibilités d'entraînement. aller en DCG sans la fac en contrepartie me bloque les portes de la fac, mais m'assure plus le fait de réussi le DCG. (si je tente la compta, j'aimerai viser le plus haut possible)
Breffff je suis assez perdu je ne sais pas quoi faire, merci aux courageux qui liront tout, désolé pour les fautes, merci d'avance pour les conseils !

2024.05.16 01:16 Rasmuslake Frankfurt Men’s League/Drop in

Hey, I’ll be in the Frankfurt area over the summer, seeing what options there are for stick time or mens league hockey ( I’d fit in A-C levels, not important just want to skate and have fun). I’ve done some research and it seems most of the eishallen are closed for the summer, but there is one north of Frankfurt that looks good. Thanks for any help!!

2024.05.16 01:15 GuavaPuzzleheaded691 [NY] Evaluation at odds with promotion offer

How do I handle an annual evaluation that is merely "meets expectations" with no supporting data when there is also an "exceedingly exceptional" promotion offer at the same time?
Instructions on the eval form state they are to provide reason for the rating. The remainder of the form is blank other than the rating added by Boss. There is a lot that is supposed to go into the evaluation - reasoning, professional development, etc...
Boss won't back down on adjusting the evaluation, even though I have data supporting my claim of exceeds expectations. They're claiming it's only based three months of observations since they started (they actually started 6 mos ago) and they won't increase the score no matter what. Some of my data covers the relevant months. They also said almost no one gets exceeds expectations (how can they be so sure of that if this is their first annual review process with us?).
On the other hand they offered me a promotion (title change but at same payscale I'm currently at with raise to top of scale and 2x the work of anyone else with the same title). I asked for info on potential salary growth in the future and they were annoyed. I feel like the evaluation is retaliatory b/c I didn't immediately accept the offer.
I"m very confused. How can they give me a mediocre review one one hand and offer an exceptional promotion on the other? I don't know whether I should bring this to HR's attention or if that would make things worse with this person.

2024.05.16 01:15 CapitalPin2658 Regrading The 2021 Draft

Regrading The 2021 Draft
Las Vegas Raiders
2021 Grade: D
The Skinny: They had seven picks, and four are starters on defense. They hit on second-round safety Trevon Moehrig, third-round picks Malcolm Koonce (edge) and Divine Deablo (linebacker) and fifth-round corner Nate Hobbs. All will go into this season as starters, with Koonce coming off his breakout season in 2023 with eight sacks. The miss in this draft was taking guard-tackle Alex Leatherwood in the first round. He started 17 games as a rookie at guard, but he was waived the following season and hasn't started an NFL game since and is currently looking for a team to sign him.
How I did: I liked the pick of Moehrig, who has been a solid starter and improved last season under Antonio Pierce. I didn't like the pick of Leatherwood, who I said was over-drafted, which played true. I questioned taking two more safeties after Moehrig -- with Deablo being one of them, but he moved to linebacker and has been a solid player.
New Grade: B

2024.05.16 01:14 Jestersage Defamation, Youtuber, and International Law

For a long time, we are wondering how an international lawsuit involving slender and defamation would work. Well, now there's a BC Court case that is ruled against a BC-Based Youtuber for defamation toward a Houston based business
Actual Court Judgement: https://www.bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/24/08/2024BCSC0815.htm
News article: https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-youtuber-ordered-to-pay-350k-for-relentless-online-defamation-campaign-1.6888609
Of course, the keypoint is that, in line 56-57, the court ruled:
The defamatory statements made by Mr. Dong were serious and relentlessly repeated. He posted videos, sometimes multiple times a day, in which he accused Mr. Pham and Fastboy of various forms of criminal wrongdoing. In particular, the oft-repeated allegations of fraud and money laundering were serious and baseless. Mr. Dong did not restrict his statements to Mr. Pham and Fastboy. He made disparaging remarks about Mr. Pham’s wife and Mr. Pham’s lawyer. Mr. Dong’s incendiary posts were calculated and sustained, and spread over multiple YouTube channels.
Now, what did Mr Dong say?
In his response to civil claim, Mr. Dong did not plead any known defences. At trial, he argued that nothing he said about Mr. Pham or Fastboy was defamatory. He noted that his videos were intended to provide analysis and commentary of contemporary issues and were never intended to be defamatory. He submitted that many of the statements he made about Mr. Pham, such as the statement that he is a communist, are true. He also takes issue with some of the English translations that the plaintiffs rely on. Mr. Dong also argues that Mr. Pham has suffered no damage as a result of the statements Mr. Dong has made publicly about him, and that his business has indeed become more successful since Mr. Dong began commenting about it on his various social media feeds.
Section C (Defence to Defamation)
Justification, or truth, is an affirmative defence that must be specifically pled. A denial that the statements are defamatory does not comprise a defence of justification. Even if this defence had been pled, to succeed on the defence of justification, the burden would be on Mr. Dong to prove the substantial truth of the “sting”, or main thrust, of the defamatory statements. He has offered no evidence to show that Mr. Pham and Fastboy are in fact money launders, thieves, scammers or fraudsters.
His only evidence to support the truth of the many defamatory things he has said about the plaintiffs is a photograph of Mr. Pham posing at a military cemetery in Vietnam, which he says supports the truth of his statement that Mr. Pham is a communist. Even if such a defence had been properly pled, this evidence does not support the truth of any of the defamatory statements made by Mr. Dong, including the statement that Mr. Pham is a communist. [...]
Fair comment has also not been pled, although in his closing submissions Mr. Dong submitted that his YouTube videos were in the nature of commentary and analysis, not statements of facts. If the defence of fair comment had been pled, the burden would be on Mr. Dong to prove that: (a) the comment was on a matter of public interest; (b) the comment was based on fact; (c) the comment, though it could include inferences of fact, was recognisable as comment; [and] (d) the comment satisfied the following objective test: could any person honestly express that opinion on the proved facts?
...While it is possible that there is some public interest in the activities of Fastboy, Mr. Dong’s statements are not based in fact, are not recognizable as comments, and do not satisfy the objective test: Mr. Dong’s opinion [...] is not an opinion that is honestly justified on the proven facts. Therefore [...] he would not, on the evidence, have succeeded in bringing himself within the framework of this defence.
He is also a jerk in general and was seperately ruled contempt of the court for keep posting despite injunction
I suggest people actually read the entire judgement.
