Gotcha. You’re assuming it’s the same algorithm being used as one that’s already been shown to result in a racial disparity.

The point of bail is not to penalize, it is to make sure people show up to court. For a “successful” person $500 dollars is meaningless, but $100,000 or $1,000,000 might actual make them pay attention. Meanwhile, that $500 is something a less “successful” person cannot afford to give up.

Since bail is set to make sure that you show up for your court date, why not make it a sliding scale based on income? For example if you make $10,000 a year, bail is $1,000. If you make $1,000,000 bail is $100,000. (Like this will ever happen.)

Yes, the way she seemed to be rushing from house to house, not giving anyone time to answer before moving on made me think this was someone being pursued by a serial killer. She’s fine, he’s dead, sounds so much better that what I thought we’d hear next.

I'm guessing to show there was a prior relationship rather than a unknown kidnapper. Either way the ass hat is dead.

They did answer, she just took off before they got to the door.

I thought this would turn out to be some crappy “viral” youtube prank. 

You typo’d the quote. It’s “HE walked outside, no one was in sight. It’s like she disappeared in thin air.” The husband was the one who walked outside to look for the doorbell ringer.

I don’t say this easily, but if the reporting is true, thank god he’s dead. 

“This story is stranger, and sadder, than it initially appears.”

Yup. Twice I’ve gotten an electronic boarding pass to my phone, and twice I screenshotted it, and twice I ended up printing out my boarding pass once I got to the airport anyway. Because I got to the airport in plenty of time to do that. Because I’m that nervous.

I screenshot and then bring the paper one anyway, as it is much easier to manage a piece of paper than fumbling around with your phone to get the photo back after waiting to board for 30 minutes.

I trust paper more than my phone should it have a problem. Saw a couple where the TSA scanner wouldn’t read there phone, so they had to go back to there airlines and get a paper copy. Luckily it was a small airport....imagine if it was LAX or JFK? 

Preach.  The one time you don’t print your boarding pass out is the one time there is some kind of solar flare that melts all the cell towers.

Yup. I use my Apple Wallet boarding pass as my backup and always print out the paper pass, which doubles as a handy bookmark. (What? I read actual paper books by the pool or at the beach where it’s very inconvenient to keep an iPhone or iPad.)

Agreed, especially with boarding passes. I’m hyper anxious at the airport anyway - I don’t need to add any electronic tomfoolery. Besides, I dream of garroting every person who holds up the boarding line because their phone shut off/re-oriented/wasn’t bright enough when they go to scan it and I hate myself enough as…

Agreed. I always bring my printed out travel docs (boarding pass, confirmation email) as backups.

I trust paper.

You just summarized the movie, threw in some background information, and then asserted that it’s “almost prophetic.” Prophetic how? Of what? Put some argument meat in this fact and conclusion sandwich

Bye son!
