  1. That's pretty much contract law. There's variations here and there, state by state, but duty to mitigate damages is pretty standard. The most general statement: Second Restatement of Contracts §350: Avoidability (1) Except as stated in Subsection (2), damages are not recoverable for loss that the injured party could have avoided without undue risk, burden or humiliation. (2) The injured party is not precluded from recovery by the rule stated in Subsection (1) to the extent that he has made reasonable but unsuccessful efforts to avoid loss.
  2. I checked, I don't think that guy's a Trumper, just showing objective evidence that Americans pay the tariffs.
  3. True, but there are a myriad of people, campers, employees, locals, that could be tapped for information before being "captured." One of the more interesting inclusions in one of the petitions seems to be a surveillance camera photo of girls wading through water toward a two-story building.
  4. Brass, too.
  5. Using hyperbole around morons has proven to be quite dangerous.
  6. No no, bronze, then brass, then 100% brass. Hand carved!
  7. Investigators, interviewing people. One of those benefits of being the plaintiff, you can beat the bushes for facts before everyone is completely lawyered up and woodshedded.
  8. Wife was watching courttv or some similar nonsense, but they had some detailed coverage of this. Apparently, they had keys to the house and were rattling around before sunrise. Not a good reason to shoot someone, at all. But does go a little ways to explaining some pearl clutching by the homeowner.
  9. There is apparently a third suit, couldn't find it. Mikal Watts is not too shabby last time I checked.
  10. Was gonna say thought Breen was a jebbie, but memory clouds.
  11. Here's one. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/peck-v-camp-mystic-lawsuit.pdf. Sean Breen. Here's another, Mark Lanier. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/naylor-v-camp-mystic-lawsuit.pdf

    Shit, I'd cut mine off right now with my swiss army knife. It is sharp as shit. I think I'd prefer to do the right one, though, the left one is the low-hanger.
  13. Also note breakfast food, mainly eggs, which got expensive for reasons other than inflation or tariffs, rather bird flu. Try on a six dollar bag of tostitos or nine dollar ground beef. Soybeans are cheap tho.
  14. Hydraulic trains were a pain in the ass. IYKYK.
  15. Fletcher Class was a fine-looking ship.
  16. Ensign Dad, ca. 1943.
  17. I thought this guy would be one of the saner ones, but he's a complete piece of shit.

  19. Clearly some poor dildo had to explain to Teh Donald why rare earth materials were so valuable and had to dumb it down to "magnets."
  20. Actually, a petition should be filled with provable facts and details. A civil plaintiff's principle advantage in litigation is to marshal its facts and legal theories long before filing the petition. Sometimes that is harder to do than other times because of the availability of public facts, but you should do your damnedest. Some attorneys, usually bad ones, don't bother with any of this. That said, it is also going to be written or spun in the most positive way for the plaintiff. Sometimes that's done a bit beyond what the facts will bear. But, legal reporting is so bad, I would wait to actually read the petition before attempting to conclude anything.
  21. Plaintiffs' residence is generally irrelevant in venue. Generally speaking and in most cases, you have to go where a defendant resides.
  22. In that intra-family litigation a few years back, it was the local Eastlands against a sibling that's a bigshot estate attorney in Houston. Seemed to be a lot of home cooking in that one. And they don't have to drag em through the mud, precisely, but you can probably assume the locals will get substantial benefit of the doubt.
  23. Oh yeah, if it's flat wrong, it has to be transferred, but if it's just opportunistic, it's discretionary. That would require someone to reside in Travis County. You are correct, sir. And they claim a homestead exemption. Still, transfer motions can be made and probably will be.
