Why does she have to resist anything? She is not responsible for his marriage.
You sound rather naive. The volume of affairs occurring is staggering. Most are never discovered. The person at fault is the one bringing butter knives and break-ins into the equation.
Well, he does raise sort of an interesting point.
The law rightly presumes or assumes that consent is lacking in employer/employee sexual relationships (and in other situations where the power dynamics disfavor one party). This is because consent often is lacking, or at least compromised, but further that we want to penalize and deter such relationships.
But that is a bit of a legal fiction that is indulged so we don't get lost in the details of every such relationship and whether there was or wasn't consent.
In the absolute sense, though, both parties retain some agency, depending on the particular relationship and parties involved.

What is interesting is that the 'investigation' seems to have consisted of simply asking each of them if they were having an affair, to which they answered no.
Last week, she purportedly provided 'ironclad evidence' to the law firm to prove she did have an affair. I wonder what it was and why they couldn't identify it earlier?
Michiganders on YouTube saying it was openly talked about this fall and even national sports commentators are now coming forward. Michigan Man Rich Eisen is now saying he was informed about it but didn't speak about it.
Also, the school reported that they investigated him two other times. I'm no lawyer and I'm not privy to the details, but it sure seems like they didn't try very hard.
Michigan vloggers are questioning the significance of everything happening AFTER National Signing Day, lol.
Well, the kind of evidence I am referring to is documentary evidence (texts, photos, email) and witness testimony (I saw em).
As long as they kept their comms off school systems (email, etc.) the University and their lawyers would have no way of legally obtaining for example cell phone records. I think there have been statements that Moore did not "cooperate" with the investigation, which would seem to mean didn't cough up his cell phone or personal PC.
It would seem likely that UM also provided cell phones and service to at least Moore if not her and other staffers and it seems they would retain rights to do deep dives on those, but personal or "burner" phones and accounts would have to be voluntarily provided.
There's no burden of proof for something like this until somebody sues. But the above wouldn't satisfy a criminal burden if there was any it's about 50/50 on a civil case, depending on what kind of credible excuses Moore could offer for the more objective evidence.
But taking seriously adverse employment action based on evidence like the above would be somewhat dangerous for the institution and invite a civil case.

I think most grand jurors know that Trump did the exact same thing on several Mara Lago area home purchases, so they aren’t going to indict her if they can’t indict Trump too
Here's a question I don't know the answer to. Petit jurors are instructed to avoid media relating to their cases and are often sequestered to avoid that and other external influences.
Grand jurors sit for longer periods than most petit jurors, and are charged with evaluating numerous cases, not just one. Therefore, it would be difficult and impractical to make any attempt to isolate them from media. So, I don't think they are, at all. But I don't know for sure.
As we have discussed In other context, details of criminal investigations before indictment are usually kept pretty quiet and a grand jury drops out of most cases post-indictment. So, in a general case, media exposure isn't that big a deal.
But it would surely seem that the media coverage of the first indictments and attendant shenanigans would make it very difficult to secure an indictment in any of these cases unless you were able somehow to assemble a purely pro-Trump grand jury.

Well, those boys at Jenner and Block sure are a first-rate, cracker-jack outfit! They couldn't find any evidence of an affair despite the following:
- Rumors of the affair were rampant at the school and the internet
- Paige got a suspiciously huge pay-raise
- Coach was apparently DMing OnlyFans gals. Did he do it from a university-issued phone?
- Her attempt to transfer to another department was blocked by the coach
- Coach calls a pizza place to get a pie named after her. You know, normal stuff.
- Coach has been previously involved in two other alleged affairs
- Affair lasted over two years
Maybe since Jenner and Block couldn't find any trace of an internal affair earlier this fall, they aren't possibly the best choice to handle the ongoing investigation.
If true, this is all circumstantial evidence that seems ironclad in hindsight. Even setting aside UM's motives, if there's no more concrete evidence than the above, it's hard to justify firing based on this.

It's only one data point, but I was set to take a national merit scholarship to study finance at a B1G school. Fall semester my senior year of HS, my dad (an engineering prof) said to me "you know, you're really good at math and you love music and hifi -- have you considered studying acoustics?"
It had never occurred to me. I ended up studying mech eng undergrad and then acoustics at UT for grad school (via the mech eng department). I am so fucking glad I didn't study finance.
I think at one point you challenged me on that notion and it's just like . . . my opinion, man. But yeah, I thought your interest in audio reproduction and acoustics was that thing for you.

A consequence of Moore's actions is that every time a black HC was pictured in a game today, I asked myself, I wonder if this HC has a side piece going??

Are we worried about Wiscy or nah?
I know it's probably fair to worry about any opponent at this stage, but they are a 3-seed and Wiscy hasn't quite been Wiscy for a few years now.

On the baseball theory, sliding is slower.
Three defenders got there anyway.
Huge chance he downs himself before getting the ball across.

$18 trillion is:
Almost as big as China’s entire economy.
More than 3× the GDP of Germany.
About 4× India’s GDP.
A huge share — roughly one-sixth — of the total output of all countries combined.
The White House website lists $9.6 trillion in investments, half of the figure President Donald Trump cites.
But that $9.6 trillion includes aspirational, multi-year goals, and future purchases or sales of products, rather than only capital investments.
The White House’s total includes large commitments from governments such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, whose pledges are multiple times larger than their countries’ annual gross domestic product, which calls the pledges’ feasibility into question.

When you say the toilets won't flush, does that mean the water goes nowhere from the bowl?
And I am sorta confused about how the tub drained through the ceiling. Was the drain sluggish/stopped and it somehow leaked around it? Or backed up into the space between floors?

Although there is probably significant overlap, we need to differentiate between what the Estate has and what the DOJ has.
The Estate is presumably a collection of Epstein's memorabilia, not evidence collected as part of a criminal investigation. As such, it may be freely released, subpoenae'd what-have-you.
Knowing what a weird fuck Epstein was (see above), his Estate may contain evidence of a crime, or maybe not.
The DOJ stuff is evidence collected in a criminal investigation. It potentially could be withheld subject to an ongoing criminal investigation, whether real or concocted.
Despite what happened with Epstein's first prosecution, I find it very difficult to believe that DOJ is in possession of "smoking gun" evidence of a crime other than by Epstein and Maxwell, who were prosecuted. That includes CSAM implicating Trump, Clinton, or anyone else.
Most of it is association and innuendo stuff, I'm relatively certain. Some of it, like Trump's birthday card, weirder and more sinister than others.

Anecdote from a former colleague whose kid went to UT. The kid said that, if he had to do it again, he'd have considered going to a slightly less prestigious university for undergrad, crushed the GPA, and spent more time preparing for the MCAT. That said, he graduated w/ high honors from UT and went to UT Southwestern before specializing.
Yeah, I think GPA and MCAT are neck and neck for number one considerations.
Rigor of undergrad program and institution are lower priority but not irrelevant.

Yeah, as noted up thread, I discovered that oakum is still pretty commonly available for use for sealing wooden joints of various types and there is a variant known as "white oakum" for sealing plumbing joints that would seem to be a predecessor to caulk.
