They take a pop bottle fill it with stuff... and then stick it in the gap between the cell door and the floor. When a CO walks by they jump on the bottle. When I was doing disciplinary court at a prison I had one guy that was charged with something similar. He was alleged to have walked out of his cell when they opened the door for him to put the cleaning supplies outside, walked down the range, and expelled the contents of a bottle into an inmate's cell who had the slot opened for a phone call. According to the guards who ran to the cell the guy was screaming "HE poo poo ALL OVER MY HOUSE!" I was able to adjourn the proceedings until the guy got his stat release, so the charge was dropped

Georgetown does this as well - biglaw summers are asked to donate a day's pay to EJF to help fund summer stipends for public interest summers. It's a good thing, U of T is on the side of angels here.

My school did something like this as well, except it was focused on getting graduates who've not found work yet a few months at a public service place. Of course the timing of it is such that your school funded employment coincided with when they reported the post graduate employment rates so it drastically inflated their numbers, so much so that the students sued them.

If you're licensed it also turns an unpaid internship into "paid legal experience," which can bump up your starting salary if you actually do get offered a job in the public sector

Our new dean suggested this when I was a 3L (taking school funds though not asking students to donate. We all saw through it. How about you just...improve our post graduation employment rate rather than incentivizing non-profits to not pay their employees.

Oh ffs. I had to hire a freaking payloader to move snow away from my driveway because our plow guy had no more room to push snow away from my garage. I didn't realize my car's dashboard thermometer went into negative values. It does. My stockpile of seltzer cans I keep in my car for commuting needs exploded. gently caress you, Texas. gently caress you.

Look Sir Droids posted:Just get a Sodastream. issues with a sodastream vs. an actual carbonator: sodastream: 1) water isn't cold/have to refrigerate before hand which means planning ahead 2) takes up counter space which is at a premium in my kitchen 3) have to go to best buy to get refils (~$30/mo.) seltzer machine: 1) one time <$3k, and I plan on living in this house for at least 100 months. 2) water is cooled

Why do you drink seltzer. I don't even really know what that is besides carbonated water. Is there liquor in it? AR are you drinking and driving? Re Texas snow: we don't know how to drive in it. Sorry that our tropical climate doesn't prepare us for the rigors that you northern folk have to face yearly because you're not brave enough to move to Texas.
