If you find yourself suing a child for drawing on your walls- especially when that child’s parents are paying $30K a month to live in your place- then you are a dick. Full stop.

That is the perfect dad joke. Definitely stealing.

As far as I’m concerned the tech is THE most interesting part of racing. Thanks for the great deep dive. :)

Came here for this very video. It’s still the worst.

I think if you can make men understand that legislating women’s bodies is a step toward legislating their bodies you might make some headway, but failing that heterosexual men are generally oblivious to most things going on around them and this is nothing more than an annoying chyron on the bottom of a tv screen. What…

I have to confess that I don’t know how states that do not recognize holographic wills use them to determine the disposition of property in cases where people die otherwise intestate. My gut tells me that dispensation of property is done statutorily using the table of consanguinity, and that in my state a holographic…

Yep, my “not too many states” statement was definitely not accurate, as apparently there are 26 states as of today that still recognize holographic wills. In my defense that was not the main thrust of my post and that remains valid. We were taught that holographic wills were better than absolutely nothing, but not by…

As writer of said uninformed bullshit I would find it far more helpful if you identified what I wrote that was incorrect. Criticizing is easy; being helpful and informing the rest of us requires a little more effort. So what’d I get wrong? Quite frankly I don’t see anything that jumps out.

Word. National anthems should only be played at sporting events that involve teams representing their nations, because then it’s kinda cool, like a fight song, and it just feels... right. The World Cup is where that’s done right. Otherwise, why are we playing the national anthem at an East Coast Hockey League game…

Man estates and trusts was a class I was barely able to stay awake through, but I do remember that a will that is handwritten and signed by the author (testator?) that is unwitnessed or signed by anyone else is called a holographic will, and that there aren’t too many states left that recognize them as valid…

Agreed 100%.

Reading and thinking about this irrelevant nonsense is a great distraction from things that actually matter but are substantially less fun to think about/dwell on. I’m not sure of the intrinsic value of this nonsense but to me- right now- it’s gold.

Ahhhh the table of consanguinity!!! Horrible law school flashbacks.

Dude needs to talk to someone. Pronto.

Your comment made this article entirely worth it.

Hospital = prison. Proofreading is fundamental.

It is straight up illegal for an guard/prison official/employee of a prison to have sex with an inmate; so much so that in my state (and most likely in most others) it is punishable as a felony. This is due to the power dynamic inherent in the situation and the fact that consent is kind of sticky when the person…

Hells yes. In a big assed icy cooler? Sign me up. Maybe the author was trying to suggest that they are somehow unsophisticated? To a man who still on occasion drinks sugar free Kool Aid, this is a feature and not a bug. 

I find it humorous that we’re having this conversation, because not only have I been an attorney for 22 years but I’ve also been a prosecutor for 21 of those years. Chain of custody failures do not render evidence inadmissible as much as they MAY effect the weight of the evidence that the trier of fact chooses to give…

The only correct reply would have been “yes, yes we need more of these”. Thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
