Typically if you bring something to a craftsman/mechanic/tailor, etc., to be worked on, they work on the item, and you don't pay them, they can hold the item "for ransom" until paid. If the customer and the tradesman haven't talked about price, what are the limits on how much the tradesman can charge?

How can you have not paid them if they haven’t told you a price

You bring your item to a tailor. They say it'll be ready on Tuesday. On Tuesday you go to pick it up and they're like "oh it was a hard material to work with, but it came out great, it's gonna be $1k" You say "That's ridiculous, I'm not paying $1k for tailoring a $200 dress" and they say "okay then you can't have it back"

Let's talk about disability and welfare. If a highly intelligent person is disabled by no fault of his own, but can demonstrate that their original [non-disabled] state would yield them $100 million a month, how likely is such a case like that to advance to and beyond the Supreme Court? Do not worry how it can be demonstrated, assume it can be. Do not worry about the $100 million figure as that's not supposed to make a difference in this legal question.

That question is uselessly vague. What exact program do you think they would be eligible for? “Welfare” is not a specific thing.

The federal (+state) limit for Social Security Income in California is around $974 a month. What I am asking is that if you can prove not just that you merely spend more money than that much per month, but can prove that you would actualy make $100 million a month in wages if it weren't from your non-fault disability, would this hold water in a federal or above court?

I don’t think you have much of an understanding of the social security disability system. They would not pay extra because someone lost earning potential. No appeals of such a denial would be entertained because it is a meritless question. You sue the person that injured you for lost earnings. State provided disability is just enough for you to live on. It doesn’t actually provide enough to live on.

Long term disability insurance is the only thing I can think of that would give you coverage relative to income but you have to pay more for more coverage so there’s no trick to it.

The reason I asked is because an online university I go to does offer disability "accommodations," but none would fulfill my problems. I need more concentration power, not "more time during exams" or "audio recording in class/offline." I am just stunned that even though no accommodation available can meet my needs, I am given no assistance when I try to remedy it.

Disability accommodation under the ADA and 'Disability' the government benefit program aren't even the same sport, much less in the same ballpark.

SSDI has a maximum monthly payout of 3,011 per month. That's that. Period. What's to sue about? The government created a program to give money to disabled people, and set limits on that program, and it's not like you or anyone has a constitutional right to more money than that. That seems totally unrelated to whether your school is able or willing or obliged to accommodate your disabilities. You might note that the americans with disabilities act, ADA, requires educational institutions to make "reasonable accommodation" but generally does not set absolute factors for what that constitutes, because it recognizes that there is no theoretical upper limit to how much money it might cost to accommodate any particular disability, and that it's not viable to demand every institution bankrupt itself trying to accommodate everyone. Here's a useful guide: https://www.stimmel-law.com/en/articles/americans-disabilities-act-ada-and-educational-accomodation In particular, take a look at the "Requirements Imposed Upon the Institutions:" section. Excerpts: quote:One aim of the ADA was to make educational institutions more accessible for the disabled. This aim covers “reasonable accommodations” such as the following: I expect it's going to be up to you to negotiate exactly what you want your school to do for you, and for them to decide (perhaps in consultation with their lawyers) exactly how much accommodation they are willing to make, within the bounds of "reasonable."

There was exactly such a case in 2013. The cops took over a private residence without consent and arrested the homeowner when he objected. The subsequent lawsuit made the news because it made a third amendment claim. The courts tossed that claim, sadly but not unexpectedly. I don't know how the rest of the suit turned out.

Leperflesh posted:
I don't think the ADA is quite the same in education as it is in employment, but in employment the burden is on the employee to request a reasonable accommodation, which triggers the employer's burden to have a dialogue about possible accommodations and what would be reasonable and what would address the disability. So if OP can't articulate anything the school can do that would accommodate the disability, they probably haven't broken the law. Not your lawyer, talk to a lawyer, etc. etc.

My final question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtLTmg2vCzY Following the legal claims that claim that President Trump is not allowed to block people on Twitter, is there a legal case with the fact the above LIBRARY-government agency's video restricts public comments?

Is there even a consensus on what exactly concentration power is? Much less how can you even quantify or give it to someone?

(Even ignoring the difference between a government official and a 501 associated with a governmental entity, like the entity that runs that account, which is a meaningful difference.)

Many people report additional focus with medication (usually amphetamines), for example. Schools' accommodations have to be things that the institution or instructor can provide, though, which rules out surgeries, Adderall, and the like. Educational accommodations such as extra time on exams and distraction-free environments are etiology-agnostic accommodations for conditions that reduce the impact of a diminished ability to concentrate, rather than addressing the condition itself. The process of qualifying for them, though, is burdensome -- it's time-consuming and expensive.

My concentration power is usually around 'Yellow', but if I take my concentration pills, I can get it up to a 7, or something a B+ even. Unironically, when I was on Adderall, I would enter a state of hyperfocus that is unlike anything else. I dosed on a generic form of it in a drug trial and finished the 6th Harry Potter book from beginning to end effortlessly in one sitting, in what felt like 15 minutes.

Do you know what the drug was because I would kill to be able to focus on anything for more than five minutes. My brother has add and I'm on the fence of I do as well. I tried dexamphetamines once and things worked for a week or two and they sort of stopped working. I should get tested

It was some kind of amphetamine, I couldn't tell you exactly which one and it was 10+ years ago. When I did eventually get a script for Adderall and the effect was pretty similar (although probably less intense). A warning about Adderall though: You build a resistance to it and the feeling is intoxicating. I probably slipped from 'use' to 'abuse' around the time I started scheduling doses around WoW. I feel like I barely escaped that poo poo.

I feel like I barely escaped that poo poo. Not everyone builds the same resistance to it, and a lot of prescribers encourage "medication holidays" ie you skip it on the weekends to reduce the impact of it. Yeah it's a potential side effect but honestly seems overblown to me. My metabolism is such that I can take Vyvanse every other day and still get a pretty good boost from it, though every day is ideal for me. I've been on 30mg for kind of a while without having to increase from there.
