It doesn’t even have to be that high an income. I’ve seen a case where an elderly gentleman with a $100K policy pulled out in front of a motorcyclist, killed him, and got a $4.5M verdict at trial- the motorcyclist was an oilfield guy with decent income, but the jury put most of the money on his parents’ mental…

It’s state by state, but in Texas it’s $30K (per person injured)/$60K (total for one accident) and $25K (total property damage).

I have $250K/$500K/$100K and a $1M Umbrella, though. It’s really not that expensive.

To be fair, pedestrian impact is covered under Liability coverage, which too few have enough of- $100K/$300K should be the minimum.

It’s a bit chickenshit, for sure, but technically correct. For one, golf, unlike many sports, requires players to self-report violations of the rules. That’s where the 2-stroke penalty for signing an incorrect card comes from- she could have, when she turned her card in, given herself a 2-stroke penalty for moving the…

I had a business meeting with the representative of the owner of a couple of Ferrari dealerships here in Texas, and the receptionist who met me was one of the top 10 most beautiful women I’ve ever met. Fairly certain she’s been able to induce a male or two into some $30,000 upgrades.

In my experience, larger companies, especially those with in-house legal and/or human resources departments, will only provide start date, end date, and, possibly, whether or not you’re eligible for re-hire. Smaller companies are sometimes more open. I previously worked as an insurance adjuster for a very large…

What about a hybrid car wash- down the street from home there’s one where you pay $30, go through a newish, pretty nice automated wash, then come around to a covered area where people swarm your car, vacuum, hand clean, and detail your car. Best of both worlds.

Unless it’s some quirk of state law where you are, there’s nothing illegal about giving a negative opinion about a former employee, it just opens the former employer to a lawsuit, a winnable lawsuit if the negative opinion isn’t well based upon fact.

My wife requires using the snooze button 3-4 times before she can get up (her alarm is set for 5, 9 minutes ago, but she won’t be up for another 20, at least). I don’t even have the snooze function enabled. Sure, I’m dazed when I wake up, but I get up, go put my contacts in, move around a bit. And caffeine.

Concealed carry (and, now, I believe, open carry) are allowed by licensees in the Texas State Capitol. Weirdly, no incidents. Over 20-30 years.

For a political movement (liberalism/progressivism) that, generally, believes all people are good and only do bad things out of unfortunate circumstances, you guys really do…

SEC University-owned stadiums, alcohol banned (with certain exceptions, i.e. high-dollar season ticket lounges). But, AR plays a couple of games a year at the Little Rock city-owned War Memorial stadium and can sell alcohol, there.

Part of it is also risk of injury- teams are loathe to give long-term, high-dollar, loophole-free contracts to players who have a not-insignificant risk of a major, career-ending injury in the near future.

Privacy. Your phone doesn’t transmit it’s GPS coordinates over the call connection and it’s really not all that easy for authorities to, willy nilly, access your phone, remotely, and obtain the location.

Technically, Scalia was a “textualist” meaning he would look to the actual text of the law or constitutional provision, ascertain its meaning at the time it was written (even consulting period dictionaries, and other resources), and apply that the issue at hand.

All Originalism really means is that we are a nation of…

They’re apparently drag racers. A racing sport that pits two people against each other at a time. In a straight line. Requiring, sure, a quick reaction time, primarily at the beginning of a race. So, the start. As opposed to avoiding an encroaching racer entering a turn, or perceiving an approaching turn, determining…

If there’s any significant reason why women would be less competitive in F1, it’s reaction times. In a study of starting-block reaction times of male and female Olympic sprinters, men’s times were statistically, significantly, faster.

Pound-for-pound, men are stronger. At any given weight, physically fit men will have more pounds of muscle, and fewer pounds of fat, than even physically fit women.

Tell you what, why doesn’t the U.S. disarm all of their nukes, scrap their navy, ground all its planes, and recall all its troops. Surely, then, being so moved by that brave showing of commitment to peace, China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Yemen, Syria, etc., will all stop their wars and their saber rattling and sit…

Another way to look at it is as a system that gives lesser amounts to players that, you know, actually win teams ballgames.

May I suggest the Icon CJ-3B “Dog” from Icon 4x4?
