Lawgoons, is that common or not? It feels like if the system presumes innocent until guilty you really shouldn't be calling victims, victims in a courtroom. I could just be wrong though and looking too deeply into what innocent until guilty actually means practically speaking.

Lawyer buddy of mine said it wasn't too unusual. If it was a case of trying to determine who killed X, then X is the victim and the murderer's identity is in question. If its a case of self-defense (presumed or otherwise) then leading with them as "victims" has some prejudice.

Going to be fun when the general public realizes that some of the most anti-vax people in the world are mothers of schoolchildren. And there ain't poo poo that the kids with half a functioning brain can do to get the shot if their parents won't let them get it.

"Decedent" would be my fall back term, since it just means "a person who died." If the judge pushes back on *that*, he's clearly biased for the defendant.

I've heard this for years but I think it is location specific. For Costcos with outdoor food courts I believe they don't bother checking memberships as it would slow transactions too much, but if the food court is inside the building you need a card to enter.

From recollection, FDA authorized the Moderna booster on Wednesday, CDC pushed the guidance on Thursday (and the CVS/Walgreens/etc sites went offline), then they came back online on Friday morning with updated availability.

Thanks man I’d a truly appreciate that. I just wish that the FDA/CDC meetings were held the same week. I know it’s all for a good reason and in a few weeks it won’t matter, but that’s just me being a nervous parent.

In what utopian place do you live that people still recognize that masks are a good idea in a deadly pandemic? Around here everyone threw them out in May when Jill told us the vaccines were perfect and the air smelled great.

The food courts are on the opposite side of the cash, so you don't need to present a membership card

The policy is you have to be a member, but enforcement varies. And depending on tour state you can say you’re there to buy stuff your state won’t allow costco to make members-only (alcohol, Rx) and then sneak over to the food court.

So basically YMMV, but if you like playing weird exception to rules games with workers, you can probably get a cheap hot dog.

Pro Tip: Go in the door with the membership desk and if anybody stops you say you're signing up. Then go get a Quarter Pound Plus All Beef Hotdog with 20oz Drink and Free Refill for $1.50.

Then just sign up for an executive membership anyways

It's not the first bone the judge has thrown to the defense: https://newsone.com/4239432/kyle-rittenhouse-murder-trial-judge/

And yes, I've already checked to see if the judge is related to Rick Schroder, who posted Rittenhouse's bail. Different spellings, seemingly not related.

That still sounds like bullshit. The victims aren't on trial and they're not getting convicted of looting or arson during the process so using that kind of language anywhere is incredibly hosed up.

A twitter thread linked by a family friend lawyer that I follow (and thus put a little more trust in) has some more detail on this, he says it's not an uncommon tactic though apparently it's uncommon in his experience for the judge to actually agree to it. Still sounds suspicious to me but I'll defer to more expert opinion.

There was another quasi-town hall this morning that I couldn't catch. Towards the end, there were feds asking if there was still time to retire before getting fired. This morning, the official "here's how you say you're vaccinated and by the way it's a crime to lie about it" message came through.

And there was supposedly some stress from higher-ups that we had excess positions that we had to take care of before FY23 :laugh:
