You’re both right.

Faxes in the eyes of the law are secure, for any privileged or confidential info. So are secured emails, last I checked.

I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.

That’s hilarious, that you had to pretend you were dying of cancer for such extravagance to make sense in your life.

Unfortunately yes.

Man you see how it happens. You see these Republicans out there trying to fuck everything when it comes to making it easy to vote. In some places you dip your finger in a jar of ink after you cast your vote, that’s how they make sure nobody was twice on election day. In some places, I assume it’s all computerized and still accurate. That, and Nobody wants to run for office and get death threats from their neighbors, the most absolute gullible dumbasses in town. Every person in my neighborhood with a Trump sign have no idea how anything works except their own one particular job, and how to get scared at anything else.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?

I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.

It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.

The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.

Can I sell you on buying a second hammer? I assume the emergency in this situation is that you have lost your first hammer.

I’m presuming it’s well water because city water wouldn’t do that unless there was a major, widespread problem.

$200 is for the full array of tests. VOCs, heavy metals, bacteria. Good to get the full testing done at least once.

Is anyone drinking this water?

When is the last time it got tested?

You ought to do a send away test. It’s about $200 bucks on Amazon.

He said viking funeral not hibachi funeral.

This should be the new gaming copy pasta. I applaud your rational introspection, and solid writing.

When I used to work in a prosecutor’s office, in a situation like this where the person has a clean record and comes in for an expired license, as long as you renewed the license before your court date, we would just dismiss the charges as long as you’re respectful of the court and the process. Dress well. If court opens at 9:00 a.m., get there at 8:30 a.m.

You will see defense attorneys milling about. You could ask one of them where to go to talk to a prosecutor. Usually prosecutors would start calling cases at 8:30 a.m. to make deals and see what defenses people are going to raise before the judge began calling the docket.

Just talk about how squeaky clean your record is and how you didn’t know your license was expired, how you went and got it renewed as soon as you found out, and you’d appreciate it if they’d dropped on your promise never to meet again.

I assume this is not for a trial appearance. This is a preliminary proceeding. Procedure may be completely different in your state.

I am not your lawyer.

Dumbass do you realize that in 2015 they completely restructured Google specifically to avoid claims of antitrust?

What happened illegally between 2015 and now that thwarted Google’s plan?

What is this the third time I’ve agreed with you on something? See, common ground.
