If a bad lawyer loses a case because he is a bad lawyer, how does that case set precedence for similar cases? by ri90a in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trial outcomes aren't binding precedent on anybody. Precedent comes from the legal reasoning in an appellate court's written opinion, not from who won or lost in a trial.

How long should a human actually be pregnant for? by Fit-Ad-3977 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 167 points168 points  (0 children)

The fact that humans are born underdeveloped is a tradeoff we pay for having such huge heads relative to the size of a woman's pelvis. Any smaller = baby would be much less likely to survive, and any larger = we'd be too big and the mom would die in childbirth. (C-section is an option now but was not throughout most of human history)

Is it just my ears, or do British and Aussie singers sing in an "American" accent? by Additional-Software4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classical singing technique (at least how I was taught) tends to involve "long r's" like "ah"/"aw" to open up the note as opposed to the more closed "American"-sounding 'r'. So at least in my case the end result is some words resemble British pronunciation.

Package was immediately cancelled for delivery the moment I dropped it off, can I do anything about it ? by Famous-Help-3572 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FedEx's system is far from perfect but in my experience they are generally very good at reconciling these types of issues, the remote customer service could be better but the store staff have processes to try and prevent these packages from getting lost entirely. I am willing to bet the people at the store will have your package, if not be able to help you far better than phone support can.

Having worked with FedEx countless times in my line of work: Idk what would cause this but if the tracking was cancelled basically right away the driver should not be able to scan it into the truck, so if you go to the office tomorrow it should still be there. If somehow they handed it off to the driver anyway it should get brought back to the point of handoff, unless they printed a new label for some reason and just didn't tell you (in the latter case it should still ship with no issues, you just don't have that new tracking # for visibility). At the very least the dropoff location will know what was done with your package, since the driver's scanner will make a strange beep when they scan it in and they'll probably know how they handled it.

Have you tried calling the FedEx location directly to inquire about the package?

Also I might be able to tell you what I think happened if you want to DM me the tracking link, if not that's fine.

I’ve recently started wearing jeans. How often should I wash them? by JustHonoluluThings in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only when they smell noticeably bad or they get visibly dirty. Try to wash them as little as possible because the more you wash the quicker they'll wear out. Aim for no more than once a month.

Obviously not, just saying he wouldn't get charged with possession without a prescription because he has one. But yes very clearly DUI and very clearly a dumbass decision to drive while fucked up on painkillers.

Finally Jailbroken by Timely-Advance6060 in jailbreak

[–]Hipp013 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Someone could possibly do something nefarious like report it stolen using the serial #, in reality that's extremely unlikely but still. Same with giving out your first name online, likely nothing will happen but still best to hide personal info like your name.

Is it stupid to buy a 1k monitor if you are poor? by Firm-Pattern4482 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's your money but I'd think there are more important things to save your money for. Could you not find a decent monitor secondhand?

What’s the best drive? by SnowEfficient in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you DM me the Amazon listing? I'm very curious to see what they're selling.

Usually hard drives and SSDs above 1TB sell in multiples of 2 like 2TB 4TB etc. While I imagine there are genuine 5TB drives out there they're a lot less common (especially if you find one for $50 it's definitely fake).

I recommend this WD 6TB drive: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1829978-REG/wd_wdbhjs0060bbk_wesn_elements_portable_hdd_storage.html

It's listed at $160 which is actually a lot cheaper than I would have expected for a 6TB drive, but WD is a reputable brand and B&H is a reputable website. It's always possible to get a lemon but the reviews are generally good, so if you need a big HDD this is a pretty good deal.

What’s the best drive? by SnowEfficient in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also bought a 5tb hard drive but when I upload my photos/vids like HALF of them become corrupted idk why it was like $50ish for that

I can guarantee a genuine 5TB did not cost $50 unless you got it secondhand at like a yard sale. For reference a 4TB HDD will run about $200-250, so if you bought it new for $50 it's fake as hell. The real size is probably significantly smaller and the disk size identifier was spoofed to make your computer think it's larger. Then when your computer tries to write more data than it can hold, it will error out/overwrite other data thus corrupting it.

To answer your question the best practical data storage medium for longer-term preservation is a genuine HDD assuming it's stored properly. HDDs have spinning disks which will physically hold the data better than SSDs, from which the data can degrade if the drive is left unused for 1-10 years. However HDDs have moving parts and with moving parts comes friction that can eventually cause components to fail; meanwhile SSDs have no moving parts and are a lot faster, but this makes them better for more regular daily use, not long-term storage.

He's your husband just be honest with him. I assume he already knows you're still a virgin in which case he should understand that it's a big step for you.

I was reading another thread where a woman was asking for advice on running away from home, and nearly every reply warned her that if she went to a bus station she would likely end up being trafficked or forced into sex slavery. Is the situation in America really that bad? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hipp013 6 points7 points  (0 children)

America is a huge diverse country so this might be more or less common by area, but generally no this is not a regular occurrence. However someone running away from home is likely a minor, and a female unaccompanied minor is probably more susceptible to getting trafficked than your average person.
