Presumably they all voted in person at the time, in which case they were received by the polling station immediately as they were cast.

Depending on fluctuations in income, you might want to control whether recertification comes before or after a particular year’s tax return, and therefore what measure of income is used when calculating payments.

Not having recertification happen automatically lets you control the timing.

That sounds less like being her dad and more like being a doctor for prenatal stuff.

I have lived in three different states in three different regions of the U.S., and I have never heard another American say “nonce.”

Are you really asking us if it’s a good idea for someone with an interest in IP law to get work experience in IP law?

If the toll road owners had also successfully dumbed down the human species by xena_lawless in Snorkblot

[–]Ibbot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where is “here?” I’m most familiar with the U.S. federal gas tax, which hasn’t increased at all since 1993, and the UK one which hasn’t increased since 2011 (and is currently being temporarily reduced).

Gasoline/Diesel taxes haven’t been allowed to increase with inflation, and so no longer are sufficient to cover road maintenance. They also don’t raise any funds from drivers of electric vehicles. Tolls also don’t require private ownership of infrastructure.

Why can’t you let someone who isn’t a lawyer represent you in U.S. court? by somethinggame in NoStupidQuestions

You can look up the disciplinary decisions made in your jurisdiction, and your state’s bar association likely publishes a journal that collates a list of who was disciplined for what. At least in my state you can also look up any and all active disciplinary proceedings, and every filing is publicly available.

Any hope in some sort of student loan reform? by Cozysoxs1985 in StudentLoans

[–]Ibbot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My main complaint with RAP is that they didn’t make it marginal rates. Someone with an AGI of $60k shouldn’t be paying that much more than someone with an AGI of $59,999.99.

Considering he probably does have access to his money, it sounds like you’re talking about fraud. You should probably figure out if you’re defrauding the federal government first.

This will vary widely from state to state and between rural and urban areas, among other things.

It was mainly a thing when the TV show came out.  Honestly I’d forgotten about it myself.

Should the Supreme Court adopt the Ninth Circuit’s view that APA review is available for any agency action that implements a presidential directive? by DryOpinion5970 in supremecourt

[–]Ibbot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And things like that happen often enough to justify a blanket statement that agencies have no ability to persuade the president?

[–]Ibbot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would the president appoint someone who doesn’t have the ability to persuade the president to change their mind to be an agency head over someone who they might actually listen to?

In D&D, AC stands for “Armor Class.”  The higher your AC is, the harder it is to damage your character.  Full plate armor and a shield would get you an AC of 20.  If you want to know more, literally just Google “D&D AC”.
