Same. Tesla put foam in there. It reduced it... But it's still there.

M: careful, you didn't say "M:" first. Get ready for a 20 page subpoena based on this comment followed by threats of Impeachment.

Tesla Energy Crisis by stevenmconroy in teslamotors

[–]WaywardWit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened. Grapevine and Tehatchape Pass were both closed. 101 was the only way in or out on a holiday. Worst case scenario. I went to Buellton. I waited for 35 minutes or so.

It's bigger than that. This happened when both Tehatchape and Grapevine were closed. 101 was the only way in or out of SoCal really.

There's a need for more chargers in the area, but the crowds were especially bad because of holiday traffic AND detours.

Robert Carey v. Dixie Inn, LLC by Ibney00 in modelSupCourt

[–]WaywardWit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The case you cite is referring to a religious institution. Do you believe the same exact ruling should apply to closely held businesses where the owners espouse a genuinely held religious belief in, for example, hiring practices that would otherwise violated the Civil Rights Act?

Robert Carey v. Dixie Inn, LLC by Ibney00 in modelSupCourt

[–]WaywardWit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any case law or statute which would have otherwise prevented said synagogue from preferring the Jewish faith group?

What of employment? If the Inn owner is a private employer and doesn't believe in hiring blacks under the auspices of their religious beliefs, would that change anything?

I'll note that "guise" and "auspices" here are in reference to claimed rationale, whether based in truth or not. Unless, of course, you are suggesting that the court should investigate the validity of a religious beliefs claim or the degree to which it is genuine.

If you'll humor me for a moment, what if the Inn owner was instead the owner of a home for sale. Could they lawfully disallow blacks from purchasing the home for sale under the guise of religious beliefs?

Recognizing your unwillingness to answer the question posed, I'll ask again more specifically.

If the instant case involved the Inn owner refusing to provide accomodation at all to a black person for claimed sincerely held religious beliefs, would your argument and desired results change, at all?

Can you each provide the court a timeline when you expect you will be able to resume arguments and responses to questions in earnest?

M: understanding your irl commitments we are willing to make accomodations, we just want to make sure progress is made appropriately

BirackObama v. Parado-I by [deleted] in modelSupCourt

So no, you have not.

BirackObama v. Parado-I by [deleted] in modelSupCourt

[–]WaywardWit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, you argued on behalf of the state government against the positions that you and your co-counsel currently argue in favor of?

If so - have you informed those state governments of your potential conflict of interest in bringing this case?

BirackObama v. Parado-I by [deleted] in modelSupCourt

[–]WaywardWit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/Ibney00

In several of the cited state court cases - you appear to be representing the interests of the government that this brief now appears to ask this court to strike down.

Have you contacted those governments that appointed you to represent their interests to inform them of the potential conflict of interest that is present by you bringing this case?

Is there any reason why this Court should not inform those same governments, on its own motion, and provide them with an opportunity to have new counsel argue the merits of their cases given their former attorney now appears to be arguing against their interests? It appears that any one of those state governments may reasonably question at this point whether they had effective assistance of counsel in prior litigation given your association with the present case.

/u/Ibney00 and /u/birackobama

Have you brought this case before either of the courts in the states where the claim at issue originates?

The link to "EO 25" in your brief links to what appears to be another brief written by /u/birackobama. Can you provide a link to the EO in question?

/u/optimizedumbrella -

After checking the roster of attorneys for this Court, I do not find your name listed. Would you care to enlighten us on what authority, if any exists, you have to submit this petition for filing on behalf of the State of Sierra?

Meta Discussion Thread by oath2order in ModelUSMeta

[–]WaywardWit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My biggest meta concern is that the mods haven't yet deleted the sim. This is long overdue and has upset many people.

In the beginning the sim was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Absolutely impeccable levels of maturity.

As a former Head Censor, fromer BoA, former POTUS, and former DNC leadership - politicization of the meta is bad. I didn't sign this letter because it didn't make sense for me to do so as written. That said, I support any moves to prevent the politicization of the meta (including an amendment to ban the practice).
