I'm in my mid 30s and I've never had jury duty and sometimes I worry that there's a warrant out for my arrest because I accidentally threw away the letter

I've been called three times in my life, and not once even gone to the court. Two of them I was away for school and I was called in my hometown. I just wrote in saying I wasn't taking off school to go to jury duty. The most recent time was here, and I called the phone number the night before and they said they didn't need me and that was my jury duty for the next two years. So I guess we'll see what happens in another 18 months or whatever. My neighbors all say once you start getting called, it's like clockwork.

Just got threatened by "someone" (not a user), removing this. You're so right.

The clerk of the court didn't call so I'm now waiting 2 hours before I can call up and check if I'll be doing the same tomorrow. Worse ways to spend a Monday but it does mean I've been paranoid that I gave them the wrong number. I also took my pill today & didn't realise I has no water around, and by the time I got to the sink it had basically dissolved in my mouth. I still have the sertraline taste in my mouth, it's loving nasty

I had jury duty once and my friend's dad was the judge, so I'm thinking maybe he didn't pick me because of that. My partner recently had jury duty but the day before they had to go in, they got an update that they weren't selected for the jury and didn't have to go in at all but that this still counted as serving. I kind of think it's neat to have to do jury duty but if I ever do it, it'd have to be a full Pauly Shore situation.

I've actually always wanted to be on a jury (though I've been thoroughly warned it is either astonishingly boring OR you see and hear some hosed up poo poo you really didn't want to) but only ever got called up once, and my boss at the time said they couldn't spare me so wrote a letter that got me excused and I've never been called up once since  My dad has been called up multiple times, my mother at least twice (the first time she showed up the solicitor just immediately went,"Nah" and so she got to go home), and one of my sisters had to sit on a case involving physical assault that went all the way to the final day before the accused jumped to a settlement. None of them have come out the other end with particularly high thoughts about the justice system.

ive been called like 5 times and been on a case twice, the foreman for one. The first time I was selected you had to sit all day in a big room with like 70 other people in uncomfortable chairs just waiting to see if they call your name at all. I was like 18 or 19 and thought it was a big deal so I wore my lovely suit to the first day to just sit there even more uncomfortable doing nothing. I was immediately disillusioned so I wore my SA grenade hoody and jeans to the second, and naturally I was selected for a case. Thank god it’s been the phone call system since. As a bonus I thought I recognized a guy on the jury from an SA related LAN Party and asked if he had stairs in his house. It was not the same guy

I had Jury Duty and intentionally did a 12 angry men esque effort to get the guy off because the DA assistant who was prosecuting tried to gently caress me three years prior and somehow they still let me on that jury.

Every time I try to create something new for work it just gets poo poo on. I made a really cool After Effects template to make reels out of for their open houses every week. Something fun for the agents and their reps to post. Everyone loves them then it just gets canned immediately by the higher-ups. It’s like they want me too do the bare minimum. I can just sit here and listen to Mothman podcasts all day if that’s what they want.

Well, I spent today sitting around the house waiting for a phone call that never came & now I get to do it again tomorrow. I'm not going to complain, there's a lot worse things to be doing with a Monday & Tuesday

Hello goons. My partner and I both have Switches. If I buy Zelda on my Switch and also have my account added to her Switch, can I also download the game there so she can play it and we only need to buy it once? Is there any benefit/requirement for us to both be using Nintendo Online with a family account or anything? We're both interested in playing but obviously would love to not have to buy the game twice.

When you put your account on another Switch, you have to designate one as the primary (presumably yours). Any digital game on your Switch can be played by any user without a problem. Any other Switch you put your account on will be non-primary and only you can play your digital games on it. Additionally, only one person can be playing a digital game at a time, with the primary getting priority, so anyone playing on the non-primary will get kicked off. Nintendo Online makes no difference one way or the other.

It you buy it on your Switch she'll have to use your account to play it on hers. If you buy it on hers and you try to play it at the same time it won't work unless she's in airplane mode or just not online. If you're not planning on playing at the same time you're better off getting a physical copy and just sharing it otherwise it can be kind of a pain in the rear end.

I believe there may be a work around. I think if you set her switch as your primary on your account and she sets your switch as her primary on her account on the other switch yall can share games. Here is a thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/l68slm/my_husband_and_i_figured_out_how_to_share_games/

If it's still there and y'all go to new Orleans I recommend the Prytania Theatre. I used to walk there in high school and catch movies after school. Here is the description: Historic, circa-1914 single-screen movie theater showing new, classic, kids' & indie flicks.
