is actually a relatively recent addition to the groverhaus saga because someone noticed a few years ago that there was an odd pipe sticking out of the side of the shed in the background of the iconic picture where he's standing thigh deep in a sewage mess of his own creation. that pvc pipe sticking out was connected to a generator exhaust on the other side.

document review is one of the only jobs many lawyers can get and is mind numbing and tedious but so far hasn't been algorithmically replaced. once that happens a non-trivial percentage of lawyers are going to be added to the already impressive glut of unemployed lawyers.

i had to stop using ios autocorrect because i manually would type in contractions and it would always convert them to we'lol or i'lol or something loving dumb like that so i just got rid of it. i rarely misspell when typing so it never did anything other than frustrate me. on loving osx too having to go back and change the word i typed 3-4 loving times because it keeps correcting it to something else.

it was pages back but people were discussing zuck buying houses around his so he could make a compound. that’s not all that uncommon for rich fucks. ufc president dana white made his fortune after getting ran out of boston by whitey bulger and then teamed up with union busting mobster casion owners that for some reason were the least corrupt and most competent team in the fight business. he got complaints from other rich people in his neighborhood that his backyard waterslide and other such things were violating the hoa so he bought all his neighbors houses and bulldozed them.

Endless Mike posted:i'll admit i'm not terribly familiar with how this works, but in scanning through the decision, the first thing they mention is both ca and fed law, and they mention multiple cases from outside ca (but many within), so idk sourcing from outside law for precedence isn’t the same as whether a case rests on federal law or not. if they were interpreting a california statute that doesn’t conflict with or is not superseded by any federal law then there is no further appellate review.

ate all the Oreos posted:yeah to be clear I agree with you, i'm just saying that even with all the limitations they do the best they can and i think people poo poo on them unfairly i guess in florida's defense, this was in response to the real id act and they were technically following the federal guidelines to the letter. the new florida ids and drivers licenses, however, are one and done. once you have one that's real id compliant, you no longer will ever need to bring in all the pile of paperwork again to renew/replace. also depending on circumstances, they will work with you. granted the majority of the flexibility i've ever found was with the mobile dmv bus that they'd bring to the annual homeless/at-risk veteran standdown.

ate all the Oreos posted:yeah except florida eagerly jumped on the real ID train very early, it was one of the first states to do so iirc, that's always seemed a bit, idk, suspicious to me. nah if you're at a dmv or tax collector they rarely will ever make exceptions. i've had to turn around and come back multiple times in the past, myself. the only time i've seen them make exceptions was specifically in the (seriously just had to look up the name florida license on wheels) FLOW bus when working with our legal team to get veterans their licenses back.

Sagebrush posted:I don't know. I just got a Real ID (tm) in California and I only had to bring one thing proving my address, and bank statements or credit card statements were acceptable, and that's a document a hell of a lot more poor people will have than an insurance policy document or a loving property deed they take absolutely any mail with your name and the address on it in florida, a residential lease, a utility bill, etc. the most onerous part, at least for me dealing with vets, is getting birth certificates from other states. florida requires one time now for new ids/licenses - official birth certificate, proof of ssn (via ss card, w2, or a few other things), and two proofs of address. this can be any mail, utility bill, lease, contract, or otherwise official document that lists the address. transferring title on vehicles has actually been the place i personally have gotten hung up the most and mostly because of odometer statements.

haveblue posted:yeah, that's where all the attention is going. any traditional ads the kids aren't already blocking with technological measures like dvrs and adblock they just ignore in favor of their phone or mentally discard by reflex its not just kids. i'm a single guy in his mid 30s relatively flush with cash and i do as much as possible to avoid all direct-advertisements. i don't listen to radio, i have adblock on my phone/computer, i pay for hulu no-ads, and anytime youtube or something forces an ad on me I change tabs/mute my computer and just wait for it to be done. i watched a new episode of archer via fxnow and it was horrible. a 21 minute show had over 10 minutes of commercials and they kept cycling through the same ones over and over. advertising is a cesspool. also here's where pagan cow comes in and crows about product placement and how no one can ever be truly ad free, but at the same time idgaf about a coke in a tv show and would rather see the wayne's world style nascar product placement than any amount of commercials.

Sagebrush posted:a while back i saw some eye-tracking heatmaps made while people browsed a news website covered in ads, and it's unbelievable how good people are at ignoring anything but the content. like they don't even have to glance at the ads to recognize what they are -- just automatically filtered out as they scan down the page. sounds about right. the human brain is dope af and we have a long ways to go to mimic it even remotely.

ate all the Oreos posted:don't worry they passed an updated version of the law to make sure such an unjust tragedy never happens again - the burden of proof now rests on the prosecution to prove the shooting wasn't self-defense, which is automatically assumed true it's not exactly that, but pretty close. basically the reasonably apprehension of fear is presumed to be present anytime a person is in a place they are legally allowed to be that's covered by the law (such as home or vehicle). as no one was trying to break into dunn's vehicle while he was in it (the kids he shot at were in an suv with child locks on the door and couldn't have got out of the back seat anyways) he would not have had the shelter of the automatic presumption.
