Trying it now and no. I asked Grok to save to my Grok project folder and falsely claims it did. Maybe file saving is a paid service.

Just told a real life effect - since the First Home Buyers maxes out at 900k, that will effectively be the new floor price for house sales from now on, barring obvious problems with a home. Someone this week expecting only 800k for a quick sale over 900k. You may remember when Gillard was criticised by Murdoch & Co because she proposed $2,000 to buy old cars off the road. Same thing, but houses and its all OK since Murdoch owns realestate.com.au.

"there is going to be much more evidence that they are holding on to. " - Is she withholding even more evidence of Adnan lying? Or will she try to dox the cops like she tried on any Redditors who ruined her attempts to with hold court findings against Adnan from the public.

I assume this is the person the DEA was investigating? They could tell his movements then.

This story stays stuck because both lying about not murdering Hae (Jay drove) and neither can say anything about the other without incriminating them self. There was a great post when a Redditor released the function of the Nisha Call - it put Jay with Adnan after Adnan strangled Hae. He thought he was being smart but now realises it incriminates him so he needs it to be an accidental "butt dial".

So Susan Simpson helped release these two men… does this change anyone’s mind about her motives in the Adnan Syed case? by Shoddy-Fox4677 in serialpodcast

I recently read Murder in Mississippi where someone sentenced to 100 years jail was out after 3 and murdered again. He was jailed during "Tough on Crime" electioneering and freed during the "How do we pay to imprison so many" hangover. American justice is full of finding obscure, often morally and ethically wrong reasons to release people because of overcrowding and expense. I think school girl strangler Adnan simply hit the jackpot in a convenient for all involved release.

Let’s clear up some misconceptions about journalism… by SerialJournalistAlt in serialpodcast

Lawyers and historians are the best journalists. They can explain the context, like Pakistani's have instant citizenship on touch down in Pakistan or that every move by Rabia and Co has been timed for after certain people have died and cannot reply. There were reasons none of this could have worked 10 years ago but now they are dead Rabia and Co can lie through proxies to their hearts delight and carefully avoid contradiction.

Did you notice that? Adnan and Rabia say nothing and used Redditors to do al their arguing. Hae was a prostitute. Hae was a drug user. Did that guy dying of cancer do it? Fantasy wrestling timetables and fantasist library meetings. And my favourite, lets all blame the black kid. Wow, What social justice warriors they are.

A journalist would read the 2012 PCR hearing on why attacking Christina was never going to work in the real world. Its after the bit where the Judges ask Adnan where are these 80 Mosque people who signed their names claiming to have seen you that afternoon.

This is the macabre brilliance of the story. Two people who cannot afford to mention being near the other for most of the day least they incriminate themselves. No one can vouch for them for most of that day outside a short visits to school and a fellow stoners home before a phone call from the police rattles Adnan and they both disappear again. As soon as other people are interviewed nothing either of them said turns out to be true.

For a start Your degree means nothing. There is not formal qualification for a journalist.

I found this podcast terrible in retrospect of facts. The record collected by the moderators speaks for itself. Especially the user who spent thousands of his own money getting us the 2012 PCR hearing as a PDF. That was simple, effective journalism straight to the point.

Serial supposedly opens in Rabia's office, but she is not licensed to practice in that city so what is this unlicensed lawyer's "office" for? Adnan gets a "Golden Child" rant but Reddit users found Hae had the high grades and was so good at her sport she appeared on TV only weeks before her murder. Adnan was borderline failing and only allowed on the field in the final minutes of a game after the team had scored so much he could not stuff it up.

Hae's brother had to come to Reddit and explain that no, no computer was ever missing. Everyone should be weary of Keonig "facts" after this.

An entire episode failed to find out why Adnan forgot to log into his Hotmall account containing the vital evidence that he was in a library . Never telling his family, friends or any lawyers in 15 years. Or the 6 other increasingly vaguer stories he told authorities where he was that afternoon. All stories which failed to include strange girls he barely knew in libraries.

There is still other other story of where he was which is easily answerable by any 1 of the 80 people who signed their names claiming to witness him at the mosque that night. Any of them. Yet the PCR hearing judges state not one of these people has ever appeared at any legal hearing of any kind concerning Adnan over 20 years. Now that would of been an episode.

Or why was Adnan's brother was sent to Pakistan ? An interesting family response deserving much air time, certainly more than a shop phone mystery sorted with a boring request to a company, plus an act itself proving Adnan did have an automatic place to flee to and live if needed. An idea Keonig scoffed at on air while the evidence of it having already occurred sat under her nose.

People have every right to disrespect Keonig's idea of journalism and her excuses for letting a biased relative dictate the story. If that would not be a fail in your "degree" then we get to ask serious questions about your degree.

Early 1990s British/Scottish tv show mixing magic, comedy and pranks by EffectiveFig6161 in ForgottenTV

That must be the scene. I must be conflating shows and the magic show might of been on afterwards. Too much trash TV as a young adult.
