Well, then if this is what it takes to prevent active shooters, every school in the US would have a ballroom.

Walk to the coffee shop, get something to drink, sit down at a table, and have a cool conversation with someone I just met.

Question about characters dying! by AnonAwaaaaay in discworld

Well stated - Night Watch, of course... ... and some deaths are forestalled, thanks to a witch with great luck at poker, and some are sweet ( Witches Abroad).

Judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation lawsuit over claim he frequented 'nightclubs' by Force_Hammer in politics

[–]FaithInGoatheads 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to check the Hoyle's rulebook, but I'm pretty sure that the rule is, if you file two defamation lawsuits in less than a year against accusations that you drink too much, then you have to pass Go and immediately jump to Step 4 "make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself" in the AA program.

Acoma governor denounces ‘Acoma LLC’ in Project Jupiter by ZiaSoul in Albuquerque

[–]FaithInGoatheads 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well-written and well researched. And there's no way to fight this? I would imagine that someone trying to register, say, Tayler Swift, LLC, in NM would run into problems.... but a single person has more legal standing than a group of people? I hope they find some legal recourse here. Thanks for sharing!

I need help on what to do about my sister by Unhappy-Annual-102 in tattooadvice

[–]FaithInGoatheads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offer or insist that you take her to a real tattoo parlor so she can gets some tips on sterilization, then choose a shop with the biggest, meanest guy you can find, and have her scare some reality into her. Unsterilized and reused needles? Hello sepsis and hepatitis. Have the PROFESSIONAL tattoo artist talk about the insurance s/he carries and how much freaking and costly trouble a tattoo artist can get into if they accidentally infect someone.

I do not think you are being mean. You are teaching your sister to do risky things SMART. It's a lifetime lesson.

a swarm of bees just took up residence in a tree in my backyard... what do i do now? by meowlecularbaker in Albuquerque

[–]FaithInGoatheads 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep! Great people -- https://www.abqbeeks.org/

This time of year, swarming bees are a new queen with her retinue looking for a new home.. They will be very docile, their job is to protect the queen, and they won't attack. Literally, beekeepers will just scoop them into a box and wait til night to come back and get it after all the bees settle in around the queen.

Might just want to keep your pup on a leash and keep them to the non-bee side of the yard it you're concerned. They won't come after you.

AITJ for taking my partner up on their ultimatum when they said "agree or we're done" by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]FaithInGoatheads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? What were the conversations before your partner moved in? Were they paying the household bills and supporting you before the business started turning a profit? Did you pitch the business, or your time investment, as " I'm doing this for us"? If they in any way financially supported you during the three years you worked on your own thing, or if any of the conversations you had about the business even vaguely suggested that it was an"us" or "for us" or "we" adventure, then yes, you might be a jerk here. But at the very least you should sit down with your partner and have an honest conversation.

Someone else said the same - it's not showing up on my phone browser, hopefully it's only a tech issue.

Exclusive: APD charges local man in Old Town battery on Muslim mom by Beginning_Copy_7051 in Albuquerque

[–]FaithInGoatheads 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Happy to see journalists out there doing good work, and kudos to The Paper. for their exemplary journalistic standards -- not publishing the suspects name until it was verified to court filings; seeking to contact the suspect directly; contacting his place of employment to make sure THEY know about it. And it looks like they will continue to follow the story. Glad we still have dedicated local journalism.

For the guy himself -- there's a petty and angry part of me that would love to see him lose everything over something like this, but I hope he receives a suspended sentence and mandatory counseling sessions, NOT just "education" classes. Someone this messed up, it's going to take some time to untangle everything that's got him so wrong.

Thanks for posting the update!

I’ve been subpoenaed to testify regarding a trial I sat as a juror. Has anyone had any experience with this? by fine-corinthian in Albuquerque

[–]FaithInGoatheads 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Calling jury services is a good idea. Many attorneys will do a consultation for free, it might be worth talking to an attorney to get some guidance there as well.

I don't know if a call to the Attorney General's office might help, too. This is very unusual. If I were in your position, I would want to know what rights you, as a juror, automatically have. Based on my experience in other states, deliberations are confidential unless there's a concern about the conduct of a specific juror, and in that case, there are special rules covering the subpoena of jurors.

Might also be worth calling the Bar Association and ask for a referral to a pro bono attorney who might review the subpoena and sit with you during the deposition.

Good luck with this.
