Going to get weekly adjustments isn’t a solution, it’s somebody taking your money.

My approach also plants the seed of reason in the jurors who have already been selected. They may ignore jury nullification, but an open discussion of whether or not just laws need to be enforced never hurts.

Yeah but I also didn’t really want to be on the jury that much. And I didn’t get called up anyway.

I just call my grandma now and again and attempt to scam her. Now she’s hardened.

I had half a day to think about it when they were selecting jury for a DUI case. I’d rather speak my mind freely for the jurors they’ve already selected, who are present during the full selection process. Normally one might think context doesn’t matter but DUI laws can also apply to a bicycle, which is a perfect candidate for being nullified by the jury.

My reply would be: “if the law is just, I will make a decision that serves justice”.

I’m kind of a Linux noob but I found LXC to be much easier to manage than Docker. Some nice resources are TurnKeyLinux images and the helper scripts:

Depends on the spring, some don’t stink at all. One time I drank some boiled hot spring water and my farts were really copious and really sulfuric for 24 hours. I was kinda worried.

Over 20 years ago, I met my future wife on a bus. There was a fare dispute and the bus got pulled over by the police for like an hour, giving us time to talk.

When I graduated college my mom apparently passed my resume around to everyone, and her diving instructor gave it to a friend who gave it to a coworker who decided to give me an interview. I’m still in a career that started with the most random of connections.

A couple years ago, my mom discovered from my DNA test that she had assumed my father incorrectly based on the gestation timeline estimated by the doctor. She told me my real dad’s name, and I have met him and learned of new siblings, cousins, uncles, and grandmother. Whoops.

Sometimes the most random of events has lifelong consequences.
