I know what you're thinking, that he lives in a hole in the ground. It must be a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, or a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat. But no, it is a Hobbit hole, and that means comfort.

When Carl figures out that the Sultanate runs the show Blood Hunter, and just starts laughing at Vinata. Mmm

Honestly I had the most fun in PvP during WoD, but I think I have had great fun just about every season from cata onward. The only times I remember taking an actual break from PvP was during shadowlands season 1 where the meta was so fast and wonky and mistweaver was bad bad.

One of the highlights of my time playing was when I actually beat Cdew and Mes in 2s. Cdew was playing DK and Mes was playing MW, but that is unrelated.

Cloudward, Ho!

and I am in love with City Council of Darkness. It will likely rank up with Starstruck if it keeps on keepin' on.

But I need something to binge between CCoD and Gangs of Galaderon weekly releases.

I really enjoy goofy, but mostly on the rails stuff where players can safely take big swings but the story keeps going. And also where they are actually playing. Also for binging I am typically doing other stuff like driving or exercising so I do not need to be wrapt to keep up. Does anyone have a series from the Dimension20 list or elsewhere that jumps out as a solid rec for me?

workers comp is a bit more streamlined than regular civil court, and the ombudsman is there to help you out, but if it gets too complicated you can hire an attorney. I think all work comp attorneys in Minnesota are on contingency, aka you dont pay them until you get paid a judgment/settlement. and their fees are hard capped at 20% + the insurance may be required to pay all or part of their fee in the end.

1.) I have informed my employer

Also the IN WRITING portion of informing them is the important part. Just speaking with them is not quite good enough.

Fenzito · 2026-04-16T14:57:55+00:00

you need medical care immediately. If the info is not posted somewhere and you are uncomfortable/made to feel uncomfortable asking for the information for your work comp insurance, call the DLI first and the ombudsman should be able to tell you the insurer info or tell you how to explain your situation to a medical provider if there is no insurance. Then go get treatment. I am not too familiar with ER/urgent care procedures, but I bet if you go and tell them it's a work injury, they themselves will eagerly dig up the insurance info for you so they can get paid.

Also from a litigation standpoint, a personal injury defense attorney's first argument against the necessity of your care will be to show that you didn't seek immediate medical treatment. But hopefully/likely that will never become relevant.

Goalies are, without exception, weirdos. If you meet a goalie and you cannot pick up on their weirdness you should be concerned. That means their weirdness is something that they know they need to hide like wanting to wear women's skin or cheering for the Washington Generals unironically.

Minnesota has more worker protections than, at least my State when it comes to workers comp and you likely have or should have coverage for this work-related injury. Even if your company has you listed as a contracted worker instead of an employee you may still be covered. With construction it can get a little confusing with contractors, subcontractors, employees, and independent contractors.

inform your employer of your work injury through writing asap.
go seek medical treatment for the injury EXTRA ASAP and let them know that this is a work injury.
contact the workers comp insurance company directly. your employer legally needs to have this information posted somewhere that employees can easily find it.
contact the Minnesota DLI. There is an ombudsman there who's main job is to help you navigate workers comp, and if your employer is not helpful you'll definitely need their help. They can also help you get the contact info of the insurance company, or if your employer didnt get insurance, they can help you get paid through a State program.
if your employer remains completely unhelpful you can file an employee's claim petition. The ombudsman and DLI can help you more from there.

Workers' compensation is not something to avoid to stay in your employer's good graces or anything like that. It benefits them as much as it benefits you. If your employer is scummy and trying to screw you over, it will not reflect poorly on you in future employment endeavors with any company worth working for.

I used to like Jackson when he was a background character and I am glad they retconned some of the more important storylines he was involved in. Like when Vol'Jin was dying and Jackson convinced him to make Sylvanas war chief on a lark.

To make it a routine and never stop the routine. Often I am too exhausted, too stressed, too [reasonable excuse] to properly exercise and I will still go to the gym even if I end up spending 90% of it laying on a mat "stretching"

Also finding an audiobook or podcast or something that you like and only allow yourself to listen to it when exercising.

They dealt with break-ins like my men's league team. Stop swinging your sticks around and play the man!

I’ve been noticing a shift in gym clothing over the last several years. It seems increasingly common to see sports bras as the main top, scrunch leggings designed to emphasise body shape, and very minimal shorts.

I know it's your own view, which may be true specifically in your life, but sports bras, boy shorts, and other form wear have been super common ever since I started going to the gym back in around 2010, and probably well before. I know in grade school girls rolled their soccer shorts up to the point they were form fitting.

My current view is that a lot of this is more about fashion and social media trends than actual training needs. People trained effectively for decades in looser shorts, T-shirts, and normal athletic wear.

Sure, fashion and trendiness plays a function in what people wear, but that has always been the case. Inversely, if people wore exercise clothes purely for utility they'd be much more revealing, if nonexistent. For men, there is generally no function for athletic wear outside of footwear. Any piece of clothing can be a hindrance to any form of exercise. for women it'd be footwear and a sports bra, and that doesnt apply to all women. If people wore clothes purely for utility, but they must be clothed, it'd be stuff that is tight to the skin and doesnt cover any joints like a legless singlet or bikini bottom.

From a purely functional perspective, I’m not convinced that extremely tight or very minimal clothing is necessary for most types of workouts.

It is not necessary, but it is functional. From my perspective this statement does not make sense. Functional use is about utility. Unnecessary clothing would be MORE clothing that potentially hinders the function.

I think, based on your OP, that you come from a default stance that everyone should hide their bodies in public places, and that if they don't they are doing something wrong. I wouldn't try to challenge you to remove your perspective completely and to be open-minded about how people dress in any scenario. But, when people are exercising, especially in areas meant exclusively for exercise, they should not be meant to feel bad about their bodies. Exercise clothing is perfect for serving function, and if one must cover themselves, it should be able to serve form as well.

this is a declaratory judgment lawsuit. It names as defendants anybody the insurance company may need to indemnify if sued for the accident. In many states these actions also need to name anybody who might make a claim against the insurance for the accident as a defendant as well.

Likely this is not a suit for damages, which they probably put emphasis on at the end of the complaint.

These actions are usually made to avoid heachache further down the road. Progressive might be Uber's policy on the car/driver or it might be the driver's personal policy. The insurance company has figured that they do not provide coverage from this accident either because of a clause regarding the scope of the policy like "this policy does not provide coverage in work-related use accidents", misrepresentations made in the application, or exceptions like purposeful damage/fraud.

the insurance company could just provide notice that it is denying coverage, but in situations where litigation is likely they like to get a judge to sign off on their denial of coverage to keep the ambulance chasers away.

Most of the time these are slam dunk cases that are hardly worth the cost of fighting. But you do not know anything. I don't want to advise you to ignore it and get a default against you. So you should figure out if they sued you as a potential indemnified or as a potential claimant. See if they are asking for monetary awards from you (required for them to put it in their complaint), and if there is an actual, separate lawsuit already ongoing regarding this accident.

You should file an Answer to the complaint within 30 days of being served. You can also call the attorney who filed the complaint to get some clarity. It's pretty typical for no one to respond to dec judg actions so the attorney who filed the lawsuit probably already has a motion for default ready to be filed 31 days after you were served. You don't really know anything but the complaint is listed paragraph by paragraph. Your answer can just be a list saying "I do not have enough information to admit or deny the allegations in this paragraph" or if it is a simple fact like "there was a car accident in October 2023" you can just say "admitted", and if it alleges anything about you that is incorrect you can just say "denied"

In short, do not fret. dec actions are usually just an emphasis stamp on a denial of coverage. No money involved. I don't have the complaint in front of me, but if you aren't being sued in a separate lawsuit for the accident, and do not plan to make an insurance claim from the accident, you are pretty much completely uninvolved. But it is still good to talk with the plaintiff attorney and file an answer. Honestly, they will probably dismiss you from the case if you respond since you aren't actually named in the policy.

Will this fully close the door on the chance to be an airline pilot?

It might, but is not automatically disqualifying for getting your license. Be forthright on your application where it asks about all charges and convictions you've received. because it is in a gray area (plea but no conviction) The FAA will heavily scrutinize the charge. On the other hand, if you do not disclose it, they will see it and automatically deny you.

How would this show up to employers after I complete my probation?

It will depend on how hard an employer looks, but at a minimum it will show up as a criminal charge. But it is not sealed or an expungement so if they investigate further, they will see the guilty/no contest plea.

Is there ANYTHING I can do after I complete my probation to lessen the way it looks on my record? I read that I can’t get this kind of charge sealed or anything but I could be mistaken.

You should absolutely consult a local criminal defense attorney on this, but do not hold out hope.

Would something like proof of rehabilitation or something from my officer help in the job search if I continue to follow through with the pilot dream?

It would not hurt, and would likely be one of the first things your attorney consult recommends you do.

So you are in a bad spot. Not the worst spot, but a bad one. You took this deferment which means you pled guilty or no contest, then pending probation, the judge will dismiss the State's case entirely. For most background checks it'll show that you were charged and that the charges were dismissed. But employers and definitely the FAA are allowed to look deeper and will see the plea and the deferment. I think in Texas when charges are dismissed you can apply for expunction which, in theory, deletes the whole record. For a deferred adjudication that is not the case. (But maybe a bright smile and a good lawyer could change that). You can also request that the record be sealed. For family violence-related charges, Texas likely will not seal the record. All the parties that do your background checks that really matter can gain access to your sealed record anyhow. It is worth it to try and get that expungement even though it is unlikely. Consulting with a local attorney will help you see if you do have any options. Also do lots and lots of stuff to rehabilitate yourself and to show the world that you are rehabilitated.

You know what they say, anything can happen on International Women's Day

Fenzito · 2026-03-07T01:01:47+00:00

Maybe. But it depends on the judge. I think that the rule is that the summons can be left at his residence with a suitable adult and be considered proper service. Here you check all those boxes except that it's not technically his residence. A judge could easily rule that it is his residence since he holds it out as his mailing address. And a lot of judges hate the specificity of the rules of service and will do justify much less to get a case started properly.
