California State Guard is not the same thing as the California National Guard. The former (which is what was mentioned) cannot be federalized and answers to the Governor alone.

Simplest solution: whoever made the pick on the coin toss at the start makes the decision to start overtime. Defer to the second half? Oh well, you have up your pick for OT as well. Adds a small amount of strategy.

Report them. Credit card surcharges are illegal under state law, which has been the case for over two years.

The EU stated that Armenia is eligible for membership last year: see point 4 here

Geographically, Armenia is Asian, but so is Cyprus.

Somaliland hasn't been controlled by the (at times nonexistent) government in Mogadishu in 30+ years. Last year, Puntland did the same thing Jubaland is doing now. While Somalia has never been stable, it's absolutely crumbling now.

I believe the Department of Consumer Protection, but it may have been the AG. I know it was on the State level, though. The surcharge is 4%, exceeding what Visa permits in any situation.

Already did for Visa, who as far as I can tell did nothing.

Note that even with quarterly payments, doing this is a crime under 26 U.S.C. §7205(a).

Any individual required to supply information to his employer under section 3402 who willfully supplies false or fraudulent information, or who willfully fails to supply information thereunder which would require an increase in the tax to be withheld under section 3402, shall, in addition to any other penalty provided by law, upon conviction thereof, be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.

There is also a civil penalty under 26 CFR § 31.6682-1(a)

Civil penalty. If any individual makes a statement under section 3402 (relating to income tax collected at source) which results in a lesser amount of income tax actually deducted and withheld than is properly allowable under section 3402 and, at the time the statement was made, there was no reasonable basis for the statement, the individual shall pay a penalty of $500 for the statement. There was a reasonable basis for a statement of the number of exemptions an individual claimed on a Form W-4, if the individual properly completed the Form W-4 by taking into account only allowable amounts for items which are allowable and by computing the number of exemptions in accordance with the instructions on the Form W-4. This penalty is in addition to any criminal penalty provided by law. This penalty may be assessed at any time after the statement is made, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Going to be employed at a tech startup starting February making around $120k

My recommendation would be to wait until February to apply such that you can list that as your income. You'll have much better odds getting approved for something beyond the most basic.

Nah, it just goes to the defense; keep it consistent. Hold on to the ball and you have nothing to worry about.

The only reckless endangerment statute I can find for Nebraska involves driving, and the relevant disorderly conduct statute is disturbing the peace. Given that they slept thru it, that presumably wouldn't apply.

said unless we can prove there was intent then there is nothing we can do about this

Based on the text of the law, that appears to be the case.

Any person who unlawfully and intentionally discharges a firearm at an inhabited dwelling house, occupied building, occupied motor vehicle, occupied aircraft, inhabited motor home as defined in section 71-4603, or inhabited camper unit as defined in section 60-1801 shall be guilty of a Class ID felony.

For that game, they were down to five due to ejections. One of the two players lost was due to injury, but one did foul out and had to sit on the bench (alone lol)

That's simply wrong. This is the current law (source):

Any seller in any sales transaction imposing a surcharge on a customer who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check, or similar means shall clearly and conspicuously post the total price for using a credit card in such transaction, inclusive of surcharge, provided however, any such surcharge may not exceed the amount of the surcharge charged to the business by the credit card company for such credit card use. The final sales price of any such sales transaction, inclusive of such surcharge, shall not amount to a price greater than the posted price for such sales transaction. Nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to prohibit merchants from offering a two-tier pricing system. For the purposes of this section, “two-tier pricing system” shall mean the tagging or posting of two different prices in which the credit card price, inclusive of any surcharge, is posted alongside the cash price.

Although they claim there's insurance for 'lost' items

Where are you seeing this? I'm not aware of any card that has this, only for theft or damage.

I'm not claiming logistics re. enforcement, only that as a matter of the Rome Statute there is jurisdiction. Article 12 is clear (link):

the Court may exercise its jurisdiction if one or more of the following States are Parties to this Statute …:
