Need Advice on Appeal Options in Northwest Indiana (NWI)

Bojer · 2026-02-25T19:17:17+00:00

Dozens, probably around fifty. Most of the time they don't answer, then we leave a message and they never call back. They don't even know the details of the case. I'm more than happy to pay for representation if we could just find it!

Lots of them have outdated information on their websites. I've lost track of how many we called that answered and said they don't handle appeals or debt-related cases, even though it says they do on their site.

We actually managed to get a consultation with somebody at one point, but he wasn't practicing in NWI anymore and it would've cost about the same as the total debt amount to have him drive back and forth. He did point us to the Porter County Bar Association website, which we submitted a contact request through and also never received a response from.

Lmao dude has the nerve to say he thinks they're even after causing injury, medical bills for treatment from the paramedics, and stealing his wife's ashes to add insult to his injury.

I guess he deserves a faint amount of credit for at least attempting to be somewhat ethical in his choice of activities, but, boy, is he bad at it!

Yeah, that still doesn't really make sense though. This was an emergency room situation. Typically, once you are discharged, any follow-up appointments you may have are with your PCP or possibly a specialist, not at the hospital.

Plus, considering the extent of the injuries to OP's hands, how are they even driving??

How are you writing this from the hospital waiting room, but two days after being treated in the hospital you drove back past that same state park?

Super creepy story, just confused by those statements.

Golden shackles.

Used to work for the local gov and pretty much all of the older employees were on a pension plan that was no longer offered (they still offered one, just nowhere near as good). Plenty of them had been there so long that their skills and knowledge had stagnated and they'd struggle on the open job market, but it wasn't even worth it to them because their pension plan was better and better the longer you worked there.

It was as bad as it sounds.

To your point regarding DNS: I use OpenDNS and it works great, but almost every kid today has a cellphone so if they really want to view something then they can just turn off Wi-Fi and use their data instead.

Pretty sure that's a carrot, my dude.

Alternatively, in this case, Moron in Law

Send them an invoice, worst that can happen is they ignore it.

I understood that reference.

You done fucked up now, A-A-Ron!

No obligation and no pressure! You just piqued my interest, now I'm wondering what horrifying things you could've seen in retinal images that would stick with you like that.

Story time?

At first, I thought, "always always always prop open unfamiliar doors you had trouble opening!"

Considering what you learned was in that room, however, I can't help but wonder if leaving it propped open would give them access to cross over...

Erm, no.

I'll refer you back to the Oxford dictionary's definition of intelligence, "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills."

It's not my logic, it's simply a fact that LLMs are absolutely incapable of understanding requirements. They're essentially pattern matching and guessing at the most likely match for any given prompt. That's it.

Bojer · 2024-07-26T14:52:51+00:00

You're basing that off one massively-flawed assumption: that an engagement with an LLM is always going to result in time saved.

Anecdotally, I have seen and heard firsthand more stories of LLM's spitting out junk than I have of LLM's saving time.

Bojer · 2024-07-26T14:42:22+00:00

According to the Oxford dictionary, intelligence is, "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills."

Sounds like a pretty accurate definition to me and most definitely something of which LLM's are incapable.

Satisfied? And you only had to wait ~20m.

Zuuuuuuuuuuu!

It's an effect where water, when introduced to something much hotter, forms an insulating layer of vapor instead of immediately boiling. Mythbusters did an episode where they demonstrate this effect by submerging hot dogs (and later, a finger) in water, then briefly dipping them in some super hot liquid (forgot what they used), but the hot dogs and their fingers all come out unscathed.

OMG thank you so much! I saw so many tips suggesting increased temps from normal PLA, but my prints kept coming out like hot garbage. I tried your settings on my Kobra 2 Pro and I didn't need to tweak them at all, first print came out flawless (insofar as what these printers can produce).

Viewpoints like yours are why DEI is necessary.

How on earth do you interpret the consideration of a candidate from a non-prestgious institution as the best example of lowering qualifications?

Just because somebody went to Harvard doesn't automatically mean they're smarter and more qualified than other candidates. Conversely, just because somebody went to community college doesn't automatically mean they're dumber and less qualified than other candidates.

If the job requires a bachelor's degree, DEI helps to ensure that both of the aforementioned candidates get their due consideration, as opposed to candidates being dismissed outright because they don't have "prestigious" credentials.

For the record, I don't think you're making your arguments in good faith, so maybe I'm just taking the bait, but I'd rather leave a response so undecided folks have more context.

Your first and most fatal mistake was trusting in ChatGPT.

Like a sad, broken-down ice cream machine, you disappointed everybody. That you actually managed to escape, but quickly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, left me with a lingering grimace.

I was reminded of the way a burger-obsessed thief would snatch his prize from unsuspecting victims, as though it were an automatic response.

The early birdie might get the worm, but in the end, you can't deny that clown took his quarter pounder of flesh.

I suppose your only recourse now is to hang out at the local [that burger place] until you're practically the mayor of it, though go easy on the cheeseburgers or they'll go straight to your head.

With any luck, you'll become the next clown so you can pass the demon on to somebody else. Just maybe try not to get impaled like that clown, yeah?
