Yeah, but who wants something smaller?! No way I want my shoulders or, *gasp*, hips to ever touch anyone else and, by god, it better have enough cupholders.

You, sir, are the worst kind of troll. Either you don’t believe what you are saying, and are trying to start some dumbass shit, or you really do believe what you are saying, and you’re even worse than the idiots who don’t believe in the moon landing. Every. Single. One. of the 9/11 “Truther” ideas about 9/11 have been…

And when people ask why anyone really NEEDS an AR-15, you know, other than the same reason my wife NEEDS 13 pairs of Tom’s shoes, or people NEED a car that does 185, for us in Texas, Hog hunting. There you are, at night, out on the ranch, when a giant, deceptively fast feral hog with huge, sharp tusks starts charging.…

Heli-pad.

I know there is such a license- but it’s not required. I’ve run into issues with it, or the lack of it, over the years in my practice.

There doesn’t have to be paperwork, at least in Texas, but it’s helpful in the event you’re trying to prove the existence of a common law marriage down the road- arguing for division of community property when the parties separate, custody of children, or over division of a deceased’s assets.

Spousal privilege is real, but, similar to common law marriage, there are a lot of misconceptions. For one, as to the Testimonial Spousal Privilege, in criminal cases, a spouse can’t be forced to testify against his/her spouse, but that spouse can choose to waive the Privilege- i.e. I can’t prevent my wife from…

I’m a lawyer...and a civil litigation defense lawyer, to boot (no multi-million dollar windfalls coming my way). We generally work until we died of a heart attack at our desk, long after the law has changed, significantly, but we failed to notice.

Her since-terminated contract with Fox News as $800K/year- so, even accounting for extra cash for putting up with bullshit, she got like 10-15 years of salary. Ailes’ contract totaled more than $20M/year, and was renewed for 4 years in 2015- so they paid him about half of his remaining contract.

Shit, my 5-year-old son broke his arm last year, on the playground at school, came home, dragged the garbage cans up the driveway, then went to the ER. Broken bones don’t get you out of chores.

My boss gets to work between 630 and 7, and leaves, most days, between 4 and 430. I generally try to be to the office before 730 and leave sometime after he does- usually 430-5. I’m one of the first associates to the office and always get praise for it in my reviews. A perk is that it’s easier to get facetime with the…

Legitimately, to some extent, people need to accept that tractor-trailers have large blind spots, understand where they are, and avoid them. I, personally, having worked with a lot of truck accidents and talked to a lot of drivers, avoid any space 20 yard in front or behind a truck, and next to the truck. Basically,…

I need more adjusters willing to think like that down here- too often I get cases with solid impact (total loss cars), semi-reasonable medical treatment ($12K to $15K), and the adjusters are insisting the settlement range should be $12K to $15K.

And disregarded everyone’s request about where to take the vehicles...took them to a private yard where they charge $75/day storage, plus a $250 release fee.

This is the basic story for 60% of my cases. A common theme, here in South Texas, is within days of the accident they’ve hired an attorney, who’s referred them to a Chiropractor, who agrees to treat under a “letter of protection” - he’ll treat without payment if he’s protected in any settlements. He treats the…

My point is it really doesn’t matter what the facts are- the trucking company will be sued and, more often than not, it’s far cheaper to settle a case for six figures, than continue paying my bill, through trial, to roll the dice with a jury composed of people who have probably all witnessed bad truck drivers, or been…

I don’t know what I was looking at, but looking again I see a Kerb weight of 2,993 lbs. for the McLaren, and 3,131 lbs. for the Porsche. But, yeah, even slightly lighter + gobs more power should equal faster in the straights.

As a litigation defense attorney in Texas, I can say with some confidence that, A. this lady attempted to turn in front of the moving tractor-trailer (either intentionally or unintentionally); B. regardless of any injuries she may or may not have had at the scene of the accident, will have at least $50,000 in medical…

Agreed. Theoretically, the 675LT should definitely be faster in the straights- 166 more hp, 600 lbs. lighter, about 0.4secs quicker to 60, 1.5 seconds quicker to 124.

Not a very advanced computer guy, but is there really any significant advantage to running a liquid-cooled setup, as I understand it for heat management when overclocking, versus just running more or more powerful processors?
