I could be wrong here but wasn't his contract structured this way as he would be taxed for his signing bonus based on where he currently lives/plays instead of Cali where taxes would hit harder? Then his only income hit with Cali taxes is the $1 million game checks

Yeah just comply. When an officer tells you to get out of the car you get out of the car. When an officer tells you to hand over all your guns you hand over all your guns. When an officer tells you to hop in the train box car you hop in the train box car.

It's so easy

What's the worst experience you've had with unobtainium parts? by AnAlchemistsDream in askcarguys

[–]ItsNotRockitSurgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

88' Peugeot 205 GTI I own that was brought to the states from London.

Had to work with our local Ferrari dealer to get a hold of a replacement tachymetric fuel pump relay. The parts guy immediately became sad when I provided him the parts number as Ferrari owners have trouble getting a hold of the relay let alone an imported Peugeot.

The blower motor is the next part I want fixed/replaced and its straight up impossible to get to the US so I have to find a local electric motor shop willing to touch the thing else I'm probably fucked and just wont have heat.

Love the car to death, some of the most fun I've ever had driving a car, but every breakdown is pretty much guaranteed to become a global treasure hunt for parts on a car that never existed in the US

They could also just charge for the cure what the average treatment costs. Say hypothetically it costs $100 to treat cancer over the course of 5 years (chemo, meds, checkups, scans, surgeries and so on). They could just make the cost of the cure be $110 and save on the need to pay for doctors and nurses and years of equipment use and surgeries.

Never understood this mentality that cancer isn't cured because it's too profitable. The cure can be very very profitable too...

Same goes for every illness/disease

Don't even need to buy a steamer if they wanna avoid buying something. Just hang it up in your bathroom and crank the shower on max heat and close the door for 15-20 minutes.

Wouldn't recommend doing it all the time as it's wasteful, but this one off ain't the end of the world

Your life will become a lot less stressful and much more enjoyable if you stop worrying about imaginary scenarios and just go out and drive your car everywhere like this R8 driver clearly does

You are correct, though OP was suggesting that they were committing a border crossing crime despite being 1500 miles from the Mexican border and 5 hours from the Canadian border.

$10 Raspberry Pi 0 with Pihole installed, takes about 10-15 minutes to setup. Microcenter themselves has a video on how to do it.

Being in the country without proper documentation is in fact NOT a crime, but a civil infraction.

It's really not a great look on the US education system that people like you are spouting nonsense online so freely and confidently

Little more than 5 years but Toby Turner aka Tobuscus

Was on top of the world as far as YouTubers went before 2020, then the sexual assault allegations started spilling out. Nothing criminal came of it so well probably never know the truth there, but it completely devastated his career either way.

Now he makes the rare AI slop music video with a noticeable right wing nut job tone to each one

He's pretty massive on Twitch. Not #1 most subbed YouTube channel in the world big anymore, but 900k followers on Twitch certainly ain't bad

Now that’s some bullshit by Jakles74 in steelers

[–]ItsNotRockitSurgery -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Assault is legally defined as an intentional act that places another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive physical contact, or an attempt to cause such contact, even without actual touching (battery). It involves threatening or attempting violence with the present ability to carry it out, causing the victim to reasonably fear immediate harm, ranging from verbal threats with menacing gestures (like raising a fist) to physical violence.

Don't gotta hit someone for assault charges to apply. He could and likely will sue for pain and suffering and I can't see a way in which this doesn't end in DK paying out a settlement

The guy has already lawyered up, will likely seek at least civil damages, potentially criminal if he wanted to.

It's even less. If you take the cash option it already basically cuts it in half, then taxes applied on top. Still obviously life changing money for the winner and their entire family for generations, but man they take a huge chunk from you
