    I'm always pleased, particularly here in my dotage, that my practice involves little to no politics and minimal human misery, pain, and suffering.

    hmm, i should give that a shot

    (I googled for us non-lawyers -  the purpose of a "motion in limine" is to prevent the jury from being exposed to potentially prejudicial information before a ruling on admissibility can be obtained.)

    I agree with the MIL tactic, but given what we've seen from Cannon thus far, she won't rule on it and just say that the jury instructions will be given to the jury when the time comes. Can you get to the 11th when a judge continues to say "I haven't made any ruling yet."

    "Large cash storage facility" sounds like a place where cannabis shops keep their money since they can't put it in a bank.  

    That could definitely be the case here, but I'm pretty sure there are many banks in CA that will now do business with those in the industry.

    Poor Things is his best IMO.  The Favourite is fine, I liked Killing of a Sacred Deer, but every one of his movies has some cringe.  Go read the plot for Dogtooth on wiki.  

    I came across Dogtooth in 2011 and randomly watched it one night knowing nothing about Yorgos or the movie. I couldn't get the movie out of my head for months. Haven't missed any of his stuff since.

  5. In college I stopped showing up to a class after about the second week. Walked in to take the final months later and after I sat down the professor looked at me and, in front of everyone, said "what are you doing here?" Then informed me that I was welcome to take the exam but I'd be getting an F in the class regardless. Put my pens back in my pocket and walked out the room. Parents were pretty thrilled with that one.

  6. I suggest everyone read the last couple of pages of that. They formulate a set of jury instructions under Cannon's proposal to show how fucking stupid she is.

  7. Bit of a segue here, but I think of this often when it comes to this conflict:

    I lived in the middle east as a child, and was there in '93 when the Oslo Accords were signed. I guess as some sort of "spread the word" mission, they (not sure how spearheaded this) had a group of Israeli children and a group of Palestinian children tour various cities to talk about how life had been pre-Oslo, and how they had such a bright vision for the future. They brought both groups to speak to our grade, as we were all about the same age. They told us that as part of this goodwill tour, they had played a cricket game - Israeli kids vs Palestinians. Neither side had really any experience with stick-and-ball games.

    I will never forget hearing a boy my age talk about how much better the Palestinian kids were at Cricket when neither side had any experience. The reason given for the talent gap was that the Palestinian children had been throwing rocks at tanks driving up and down their streets since they could walk, while the Israeli kids admitted not having any real experience throwing anything. 

    To this day, whenever this conflict enters my mind, my immediate thought is that boy my age who grew up throwing rocks at tanks and I wonder where he is now.

    It's not a controversial thing. They put their military headquarters under a hospital. They've been doing it for decades. It is well established. And again, their last military elements are hiding in Rafah amongst women and children.

    So, no? No evidence?

  9. Just now, Thetexashammer said:

    It is not an extraordinary claim. To the contrary, it is the explicit hamas strategy. It's not new news, they love human shields, sacrificing their women and children. Their political elements and last remaining battalions are hiding behind women and children as we speak. 

    Lol, so you don't have any evidence to support your claim? 

    Why bother responding?

    However, that is likely to be the exact reason the high value Hamas target was intending to travel with WCK in the first place.

    Have you ever been in a TOC? Have you ever commanded men in war? How do you know what goes on inside a military command? Please tell us.

    So I spent over an hour with a Mach-E GT Performance today and it's a really solid car. Handling is bit better than the MY, but you lose the ground clearance and it still drives like an SUV/Crossover. After $10k of discounts, OTD price was $70K. So ~$17K more than an M3 LR with the $2K performance update (which beats the Mach-E 0-60 time). And the M3 has 70-80 miles more range. 

    In summary, fuck no, I'm not spending $17K more for less performance and (mostly) less features. 

    Unlike some of you neckbeard fucks, I'm out in the streets actually looking for a car that meets my needs, that's all that matters to me. It's really easy to spend someone else's money, so you can eat all the dicks in the world and I'll buy the car that I want. 

    Hell yeah! You tell those anonymous internet posters that you're not going to let them run your life!

  13. I actually don't think he violated the order there. IIRC, the judge did not include himself or his family as part of the order, only witnesses and prosecutors.

    Edit: missed the line about DA lies. That might be enough

    You are consistently late, behind and, ultimately, wrong. Despite your best efforts. I can't imagine the angst you must struggle with in life.

    No, he was right. Posting a response does not mean you answered the question.
