She’s largely considered the best wrongful conviction lawyer in the country with 17 freed inmates to her name. Her taking the case is meaningful as she is extraordinarily selective with the cases she takes (i.e. she needs to know she has a good chance of winning).

Google Ryan Ferguson. She is responsible for finally freeing him 10 years after he was sent to prison bc of a “dream”.

I’ve always felt that jealousy and regret are two of the most useless emotions.

Waiting! I’m always waiting for the exact right moment to pursue my dream job. First I should finish my degree, then I should get settled into my current job’s new office and my change of commute. I really should get in shape first, too. My house is falling apart and I need the money to fix it up—it would be…

Biggest regret? Wasting so much time on internet forums? :)

Calm down there, Satan.

my sister ubers on the side. the only money you get are from tips. they don’t pay you an hourly wage and you don’t get reimbursed for gas. she says that so many people don’t tip.

The Uber app for both drivers and customers actually encourages you not to tip? So, I’m not sure why people feel expected to or why drivers expect it? When you sign up for it, it actually tells you to not accept tips and to decline them.

I thought it was included in the price of the fare—that the driver got like 80% of the price I was shown. I don’t even know how to tip on an Uber, and the app doesn’t prompt you to do it. If the drivers aren’t fussing at the company to making tipping clear to users, they should be.

Uber is actually currently in court against some of their drivers who are trying to get a living wage and maybe union rights.

Definitely not necessary. Cops have radios for a reason. I think the cop was just butthurt that his Camaro was getting smoked by the crotch rocket. A simple radio call to another unit ahead of the road to (unphysically) intercept the biker.

ok, on this one there’s dickery from both sides. The little boy on the bike who thinks public roads are his own personal race track should have had his license suspended at most.

I live in Maine. I often marvel at the women in Portland that wear exactly such warm-weather clothing (shorts, stockings, tank tops, skirts, etc) on nights with exactly such chilly weather conditions.

I had a Grover hand puppet, and an Ernie one. They were awesome! :-)

You want to know why? It’s the same reason a 50 year old Freighter Tender is the fastest ship in the galaxy, Astromech droids can’t speak, and weapons technology has been the same for close to 1000 years.

Compression. You know how expensive it is to transmit across light years? Plus, in a galaxy swarming with bounty hunters and spies and rebels, I’m sure everything is heavily encrypted and perhaps that affects image quality kind of like how restraining bolts mess with your circuits.

Star Wars is all about the retro-future tech though. The Millenium Falcon is a “beater spaceship” for godsakes! I think “futuristic-but-junky” was a recurring theme in the SW universe. It was “a long time ago,” after all.

he looked like Daniel Day-Lewis compared to Natalie Portman.

Hayden aint a bad actor! The script (by good old George) screwed him over...
