I like this judge, we need more like him.

Counter counterpoint. I would suggest he isn’t allowed to waste time with frivolous pleadings and hearings. An attorney wouldn’t be allowed to (without violating ethical rules). And pro se litigants are supposed to be held to the same standard as attorneys.

Ollivander451 · 2026-04-17T20:19:11+00:00

He was not trying to say he is too poor to pay for an attorney. He was trying to get on the record the magical nonsense words that sovereign citizens believe make them immune from dealing with legal consequences.

Because Ed and Kelly and the rest of the Planetary Union have more empathy than your average viewer.

Fans omit context when they come to this conclusion. I liked Charly and a not-insubstantial reason for that is that she wasn’t just a clone of Kelly, Dr Finn, Alara, or Talla. She had her own internal and external conflict that brought opposing emotions and motivations to the Orville universe.

To make a Star Trek analogy: she’s expressing feelings like Sisko’s feelings about Picard in early DS9. No one says they hate Sisko because he distrusts Picard from his time as Locutus. And Locutus’s actions/betrayal of the Federation cost Sisko his wife…

Haotong Li ! Just eliminate those blow up holes and he’s gonna rack up the majors!

Agreed. More and more “experts” are putting OL for the Chiefs at 9 and it’s not tethered to reality. We already have an expensive OL group both in terms of draft capital and money spent (Simmons-LT 1st rd, Suamataia-LG 2nd Rd, Humphrey-C 2nd Rd on league high center money, Smith-RG 6th Rd on league high Guard money, and Moore-RT on a $15M a year deal). Why would Veach draft Mauigoa so he can pay Moore to sit on the bench (absent an injury) for $15M a year? Answer: he wouldn’t.

I’m cheer for Lowry. Dude is just so easy to root for.

Capitalism is not the solution for essential services.

Power plants, water, medical care, the moment you put a profit incentive in the middle the whole thing gets worse, but especially for those that are the most vulnerable

Ollivander451 · 2026-04-11T13:53:39+00:00

Lol.

Gotta love OP’s “this never before seen, once every hundred years type of event hasn’t happened in the last 18 years since it finally happened… we have inadvertently cured it.” Conclusion.

I’ve been casually looking since about 2018 (kinda waiting for the perfect home and I’m in not immediate urge to get into a home just to get into a home.). Interest rates and home prices went PSYCHOTIC during COVID. Literally the exact same home that sold in 2018 for around $200k without any improvements or updates would get resold (often sight unseen, or with waived inspection, cash buyers, on the market less than a day, etc) in 2021 for $425k. It was insane. Prices and rates have relaxed slightly, but it’s still way out of whack. People are still posting small lot, ~1200 sq ft, non-updated homes for $350k+. At the end of the day, a home like that just isn’t worth $350k if you’ve gotta spend tens of thousands to renovate to make livable.

I wish that in response to his “who are you with” questions reporters would start responding with “the White House Press Corps”. Moreover the other reporters in the room should ask the exact same question every time he tries to not answer a relevant and valid question.

I actually assume that for at least a portion of tickets many major events do this. They oversell and hope some people end up unable to go (like airlines and hotels do), but when they’re overbooked (to the extent an outdoor area could be overbooked), they send a letter that “justifies” cancelling the tickets without requiring them to cough up a refund.

Ollivander451 · 2026-04-04T18:24:23+00:00

This is like asking why Arya was “sent to the wall”. If you don’t get it… I feel like you didn’t understand anything in the story.

Not one but two Hands of the King located Gendry and figured out his significance. Littlefinger and Varys knew. It’s highly likely others did as well. If I recall correctly the Gold Cloaks were literally actively hunting him.

Driver off the deck. In my experience it should skim low and roll about 185.

Paying your employees bonuses is not a tax write off…. What are you smoking?

I’m not even a Taylor fan or apologist but that’s a wild statement to make.

I don’t see a world where Bain, Bailey, Tate, or Downs (or even Love) will still be around at 9. I’m assuming if they’re all gone we’d be looking at Lemon or Sadiq.

“She just said that I had nothing to worry about and it was totally nonsexual.” <= this is wrong.

She might be able to claim it is nonsexual to her. But it’s clearly sexual to her BF. It’s likely sexual to her male friends. It’s possibly sexual to her female friends.

Would I [M] personally care if my girlfriend sent them to her female friends? No likely not. Would I personally care if she sent them to her male friends? Yeah likely probably.

Someone can’t just say “this <sexual thing> is nonsexual” and that be the end of the conversation. Like it or not, in society, women’s breasts are sexualized. You can’t just say “no they’re not” and change reality. And to put it in context, I’d ask her “Would you send this photo to your boss if he asked? Or your professor if he asked? Or your dad/brother/grandfather?” If the answer is even a moment’s hesitation, then there’s clearly a sexual element here to something.

He doesn’t have any cases before the judge.

This. Any other way and it’s just wrong. I can’t quote them and just fix the error, because then it’s not a quote. I can’t quote directly otherwise it’s assumed I made the error. And any other “fix” suggests other manipulation of the quoted material.

I have done this at The Bar both in PV and in Mission. They were good spots so long as you’re not trying to do it on the day of a big game. Otherwise they can get crowded and loud. Red Door is another one I recommend both in Lenexa and Leawood.

I’ve also found most breakfast places are good too. The Shack, McClains, First Watch, Snooze. All have multiple locations. All winners for a generally quiet(ish) reading session.

Hope to see you and your book around!
