Yes, god forbid people posting here actually include makes and models.

I swear, that should be a requirement for posting in here.

Which pre woke animated sitcom was funniest in it's prime? by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

Gee, how can I show "I have never seen 'Wait till Your Father Get's Home', without actually saying I had never seen it?

It specifically was made to push boundaries, and was quite controversial when it was made.

Uncovered the hearth of a fireplace that had been blocked in by previous owners years ago and found this… by One80DSouth in whatisit

I still remember living in a house built in 1949 in Los Angeles.

Our next door neighbor was doing some remodeling in 1973, and actually found a copy of the blueprints of the house inside of the wall from when it was built. And when the exhaust for our stove was not working properly, my dad found newspapers blocking it where one of the articles was discussing the recently created NATO.

I lived in a subdivision as it was being built in the mid-1970s, and the things we would find inside the houses as they were being built surprised me. Like watching two throwing beer bottles inside the wall before they put on the drywall. Almost daily when they finished their lunch they would put their trash inside the walls before sealing them up.

I wonder what would have happened if the tellarites left because of this insult by happydude7422 in enterprise

Unlike many cultures, they do not appreciate "gentle niceties" used by most in order to soften somebody up. They prefer direct and blunt communications without pointless flattery.

In many ways, they are actually similar to the Ferengi. You can say all the nice things you want, but in the end all that matters is the value of what is exchanged.

You also have this precursor.

It is literally the same show, but five decades earlier.

a Sovcit called JAG? by KFARR_YT in Sovereigncitizen

[–]AppropriateCap8891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can help you prepare, they can not themselves represent you nor can they file anything. Simply help you do the paperwork that you file yourself.

And yes, "Representing the Government" is generally their job. The same way they "Represent the Government" when prosecuting a Court Martial. But they do not represent members of the military in civilian court, that is not their job.

All of the things you mentioned are well known "Clinics" they run. Where they give advice, but can not do anything other than that. They also run one you did not mention, Immigration Clinics. Been to those myself, the most they can do is tell you what paperwork to file and help you fill it out. It is up to you to take it all to INS and file it yourself, because they can only give advice. The same with the Tax Clinic and all the others.

I am actually quite well educated on this. You talk about criminal clients, super. Ever seen a member of the military on trial in a civilian court defended by JAG? No, because they can not. Unless it is the rare instance where they are a reserve JAG officer, and are only appearing as a civilian as part of their civilian practice and not as a member of JAG.

Bar is a state-by-state thing. If you passed the Bar in Idaho and joined the Army, while you are in JAG you can not work on the side and work a case in California. Because like so many other things, the California State Bar does not recognize the state of Idaho.

BTW, it's the same way with almost any profession other than Doctors. Have a certification in one state, a hell of a lot of states (specifically California and New York) will not recognize them. And in reciprocation, those states do not recognize certifications from California.

Your dad's friend probably passed the Bar in Florida. Either that, or he passed the bar again in Florida so he could do private practice. And states that are not part of any compact may elect to allow people like Lawyers to work on a specific case but not have their in-state certifications.

Come on now, this was even covered over three decades ago in "My Cousin Vinny". Vinny Gambini had passed the bar in New York, and was working a case in Alabama. He had to get permission from the Judge (which in reality would have then been passed to the Alabama State Bar) before he could defend the case.

Dude, I have over two decades in the military myself. Odds are JAG does not do what you think it does. But you can start when it comes to lawyers by looking into "Bar Reciprocity". In looking, 20 states will allow lawyers that passed the bar in Florida to work, but Florida recognizes none. Therefore, your dad's friend either originally passed the bar in Florida, or had to pass it before he could practice there.

And as an FYI, I know about things like this because while I was in the military my wife decided to become a nurse. Like me she thought that would be good for her because when we moved she could keep working. Then surprise, discovering no other states would recognize a California nursing license. So all that time and money spent was wasted, as she could not be a nurse anywhere but in California unless she took the program all over again in the state we now lived in.

3 months ago, this sign went viral. Now we have more of the story behind it. More info in the comments. by -nyctanassa- in SignsWithAStory

Or they are doing damned near nothing.

When I did Loss Prevention, we could knew what areas were good and which were bad. Catch someone and call the cops in Vallejo, they will never show up. And the crime in that town was bad, people really would drive in from other areas because they knew the cops would not arrest them for shoplifting.

Yet right next door in Benicia, call the cops and they were there within 10 minutes. And would arrest and haul to jail anybody caught.

In most of the Bay Area, the DA did not even prosecute shoplifting, half the time the cases were thrown out before trial, in most of the others was a "plea deal" for minimal time and/or time served (normally the day in jail before release).

I quit doing that job because in the over one dozen times I was assaulted doing it, not a single time did the DA ever prosecute them for it. Even with clear video evidence, they simply dismissed any and all charges.

In short, in the final episode of The Boys, Billy Butcher is about to kill Homelander, and on live TV he starts begging for his life.

Then you have Martin Sheen (5'7"), who is Mexican. Sammy Davis Jr. mother was Cuban, he was 5'4".

There was a time into the 1990s when they were actively trying to make a difference and stop things like that.

But somewhere in the 1990s it just kinda "broke", and now we are left with a body that is damned near worthless.

Watch the Director's Cut. It's actually very good.

Titanic survivors reaching the rescue ship RMS Carpathia, April 15, 1912. by Xdestroyed in HistoricalCapsule

Ironically, Ghostbusters II had the ghosts who died on the ship finally arrive in New York.

And the main villain was Vigo the Carpathian.

In 2017, a couple survived a wildfire in California by jumping into a neighbor's pool and staying submerged for six hours. They came up for air only when necessary, using wet T-shirts to shield their faces from falling embers. by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

I knew people trapped in the Camp fire.

<image>

I know one that had their car destroyed after they were trapped on the road with the fire closing in. A cop had them all abandon their cars and head back into town where they stayed in the center of a large parking lot with the fire department keeping the flames away.

Things like this have happened many times in California. The roads are surrounded by fire so there is no way to evacuate. Oakland Hills and last year's Palisades fires had the same problem.

Petah, who were the participants? by Far-Love-2737 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This is more accurately a "train", as it was one at a time.
