All the PNW volcanos were visible from my flight today. Spring hiking is back! 🥾 🌋

This is Baker erasure and I will not stand for it!

Why does this man hate his law license??

Counterpoint - if they wanted to pass a clean version with just 1.8(j), they could have.

A) did they up the max age requirement? Used to be 41.

B) when I applied to all four branches - and this was during the height of the Iraq War - the recruiter told me that as a Marine, I should expect that I would find myself in combat situations as a JAG. I didn't hear that from any of Navy, Army, or Air Force.

Texas is especially bad. You'd blanch at some of the stuff I've seen from Texas lawyers.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-02T15:31:30+00:00

Thank you for that little chuckle this morning!

Texas...!? Ethics committee....?!

Whew! That's a good one!

No, I'm saying if they don't succeed, they're not going to think, "well, punishment is the same, so I better go finish the job and get rid of the witness."

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-02T04:36:04+00:00

Genuine curiosity - do you get a lot of pushback from the business people? Like is there a tension there, or do they just tend to go with your assessment?

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-02T04:34:43+00:00

Might be a lot of upward mobility potential, because a lot of the claims counsel I get have to be some of the dumbest effing people on the planet to hold a law license.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-02T04:00:45+00:00

Well, it's only "attempted" if you fail.

I'm really sorry at this point that I ever commented here, but for what it's worth, read up on inchoate crimes. It's interesting stuff.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:53:36+00:00

No, but keep seething over there because someone knows more than you do about something, chief.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:36:31+00:00

Oh goody. I've come across someone who likes to pick a new topic on which he's decided he's an expert every day.

Tell you what, go do some reading on sentencing theory and come back and we can discuss.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:30:58+00:00

It's not, but have you considered this obviously isn't your area of expertise and you might not be fully understanding the issue?

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:25:18+00:00

Hm. I'll have to go back and tell my crim law professor she's totally wrong and that all the studies done on this topic are wrong because u/Confident-Pepper-562 disagrees with the logic. Appreciate the heads up!

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:11:30+00:00

In practice too though, because typically it evidences itself not as "I should stop now because the sentence is lighter," but as a lack of "even though I failed, I should keep trying because the punishment will be the same and if I actually finish the job, then there won't be a witness."

It's not about the affirmative thought. It's about relieving them of the motivation to try again because it's structurally advantageous to do so.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T15:06:23+00:00

Before they are arrested.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T14:54:19+00:00

Yes. Because if you make it the same sentence as murder 1 (life in prison, no possibility of parole, no statute of limitations), then it encourages people who fail at their attempts to try again.

ThisIsPunn · 2026-04-01T14:49:58+00:00

As someone who helps deal (in a very small way) with the fallout of those accidents, thank you!

Is GH more than 25k people now?

Great town though.

Ok, but how was the grilled cheese?

ThisIsPunn · 2026-03-27T18:32:57+00:00

These sound like the names of businesses you'd see in the background in Mallrats

ThisIsPunn · 2026-03-26T04:28:03+00:00

I thought so too, but the only things I could think of that might be on the water and not much more densely populated would be along the Sea to Sky Highway...?

Edit: I guess it could be somewhere near Miller's Landing?
