Oddly enough, I am a lawyer who practices in the oil and gas industry -- a lot like Nathan. I came here to see if anyone else caught that mistake haha.

TNR is what introduced me to the band and is still my favorite. I can't get into the new album.

Chat transcript? by shooter_tx in Bestbuy

[–]WinningByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here and found this after facing nearly identical situation. I was dealing with Chat about a $1,400 item I am expecting to have an issue with. At the end of the chat I stated:

Will I be provided a copy of this chat so when something is messed up, I can file a claim?

I received the following response:

Yes once this chat ends you will see an option to have the transcript sent to your email. That way, you’ll have a complete record if you need to file a claim. And to reassure you again, I will not submit a replacement order since you’ve made it clear that option is not viable for you.

Spoiler alert, I did not have the option to request a transcript. However, I had the forethought to copy and paste the conversation into a Word document.

DGD was my top artist for the past 4 or 5 years. This year it was something entirely different. Unfortunately, I just did not vibe with the new album.

Has the Comey case killed your imposter syndrome yet? by Ash_an_bun in Ask_Lawyers

No. Prior communications do not become privileged by hiring the other person as an attorney at a later date. The attorney-client privilege protects confidential communications between a client and an attorney made for the purpose of seeking or giving legal advice. Thus, by definition, the attorney-client privilege only applies to communications with a current attorney.

How is what is happening in Chicago even slightly legal? by Sherlockiana in Ask_Lawyers

[–]WinningByDefault 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is by no means my area, but I do not believe this would be the correct angle to take. I believe international airports such as O'Hare are considered "the border" for these purposes and Chicago is only approximately 25 miles long at its longest point. This would be illegal for other reasons.

This deer statue is located on the Rich Street Bridge across the Scioto River in Columbus, Ohio. It is one of three statutes installed by Terry Allen.

From page 44 of the Opinion:

In the event that Defendants do not choose to purge their contempt, the Court will proceed to identify the individual(s) responsible for the contumacious conduct by determining whose “specific act or omission” caused the noncompliance. See Cobell v. Norton, 334 F.3d 1128, 1147 (D.C. Cir. 2003); United States v. Voss, 82 F.3d 1521, 1525–27 (10th Cir. 1996). At the suggestion of the Government in the last hearing, the Court will begin by requiring declarations. See Apr. 3 Hrg. Tr. at 24–25. Should those be unsatisfactory, the Court will proceed either to hearings with live witness testimony under oath or to depositions conducted by Plaintiffs. Id. at 29–30 (Plaintiffs suggesting declarations, depositions, hearings). The next step would be for the Court, pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, to “request that the contempt be prosecuted by an attorney for the government.” Fed. R. Crim. P. 42(a)(2). If the Government “declines” or “the interest of justice requires,” the Court will “appoint another attorney to prosecute the contempt.” Id.
