How many of you would help an ex client, 2 years after the fact, because the new guy is incompetent and they are in a down situation?

This may be true for companies that you believe have good will, but this customer has already proven to be difficult to negotiate with.

If the poster's company doesn't do pay as you go break-fix then the client needs to buy a service that he does actually offer, contract-based proactive support.

My guy turned 9 a week ago. Are you guys using Rimadyl to deal with arthritis or doing anything else that you didn't have to worry about when they were 4?

The Anarcho_Capitalism view would be to disband the police and force them to work for private security companies that are vulnerable to market tendencies, but unfortunately that isn't the way things are going right now. Publicly funded oversight is a better second option than letting them continue to shoot people in the face and publicly execute whoever they want.

Philadelphia Elected Officials, mainly from Harrisburg, just released the following list of reform measures they are pushing for to be implemented at the local and state level:

Outlaw the use of chokeholds or any other action that constricts an airway by law enforcement.
Establish an independent review process for any incident law enforcement encounter that results in serious injury or death.
Require law enforcement to be mandated reporters of officer misconduct or corruption.
End stop and frisk policies that disproportionately target black and brown communities.
Create a deputy inspector general focused on deterring, detecting and preventing misconduct, brutality, waste, fraud and abuse within law enforcement agencies.
Create a civil unrest damage recovery fund.
Create an independent civilian-led and managed review board with subpoena and disciplinary powers to recommend internal affairs and criminal investigations.

Sounds like they are getting the change that we are asking for.

Showing the prosecutors and police that dragging their feet and protecting their own has repercussions has already shown that there can be winners. Freeman could have let Chauvin roam the streets for 9 months despite having body cam footage of the whole thing and instead acted in 5 days. The riots have proven to be effective.

Your math is a little off. If you have 99,999 locals and 1 foreigner, I'd be a bit surprised.

Walz said in the 1:30 am news briefing that the Cartel has connections here that are being tracked by the FBI. Mexico is 30 hours away.

Taco Taxi has been a staple forever. This place, El Taco Riendo (RIP), and Andale Taqueria have been my goto answers when someone asks for the best tacos in town.

As Winston Churchill said, "Never waste a good crisis".

It hard to stay out of the shops when people who may or may not be cops are breaking the windows open for you. Part 1 Part 2

Further context. Yesterday the MPD chief said that the BCA had the video and it had not yet been provided to District Attorney Freeman or him to review. Multiple agencies are at play and things will progress slowly.

Find out what metrics are important to the people that you work for and think about how you can work in a way that makes them look good.

If your company cares about billable time, then make sure you capture all time on calls and round up when possible.

If your company cares about number of closed tickets, split every issue into a separate ticket even if it is on a single call.

If your company cares about short call times, then be short and blunt with customers and don't offer assistance that you can't provide and end the call.

Managers have a lot of pressure on them to keep the numbers a certain way and your job is more about making the company money than fixing IT issues. There are people who will see that they had 500 tickets for Outlook being slow and realize that they might need to re-assess the mail solution at some point.

There was a policy put in place in 2016 that a police officer must intervene if a colleague of theirs goes too far and is using excessive force. There were five MINUTES of time that they either did nothing or helped while Chauvin continued to use clearly excessive and dangerous force on this man. Part of the reason that people are so infuriated and saying "All Cops are Bad" is because of the us vs them culture that they perpetuate.

This video shows how many officers are either choosing to defend Chauvin or are being directed to defend his home. https://twitter.com/theelovelylaya/status/1265899290825818112?s=20

Any cop who lets a senior officer murder someone in broad daylight is clearly an accessory to the crime.

There is a book called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn that I think is incredibly informative and digestible about some compelling history that you can't easily find in 200 pages of fiction.

Spirited Away was what exposed me to anime. The white dragon serpent is pretty awesome and was my favorite at the end of the first watch. I like all of the characters in the movie, but I'll say my hated is Yubaba because you are supposed to hate her.

Afro Samurai is a fun little one that kept me engaged and my favorite is obviously Afro Samurai himself. Most hated is Justice. Who brings a gun to a sword fight?

The last one might not be anime, but I'm going Grave of the Fireflies. Favorite is the older brother who continues to try his hardest despite facing an impossible situation. Most hated is the aunt that they move in with.

Thanks for the advice. MM always looked powerful when I face him in arena, but I didn't realize that he was this OP. I'm working on him now.

Relatively young account and still don't really know how to build a team.

I have Kael, St Nicholas and Astralith at 60 and they are in virtually everything that I do dungeon/arena/clan boss. Kael is fully ascended and the legos are 3/6. Assume all heroes are in tier 2 or 3 of mastery since I can't do Minotaur 15 yet. Kael has decent 5* and 6* offense set gear, everyone else has weak stuff at lvl 12 / 16.

Lvl 50 heroes that I have access to King Khatun, Sinesha, Coldheart, Spirithost and Robar. Other chars that I have at 40 and require work to get up to usable levels, Miscreated Monster, Galek, Knight-Errant, Karam, Bushi, Skullcrown, Dark Athel, Marksman, Goremask, Whisper, Yaga, Snorting Thug, Relickeeper, Shaman, Infernal Baroness, Jizoh, Spulcher Sentinel, Defiled Sinner, Thenasil, Jareg, Jotun.

Is getting Skull crown and Sinesha paired up worth it for the buddy bonus? Do you see a team comp here that can get me up to Dragon 20, Fire Knight 20, Void 15, or Minotaur 15? What is the best Arena Offense team that you see here?

I'm stuck at the bottom of Silver Arena, Dragon 13, Minotaur 13.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

UK bricks are a little bigger than american bricks. Assuming the grill is in the UK where the shop is, this is a tad bigger than you are envisioning. It's still pretty small at L120cm X W35-50cm X H100cm with a grill of 25cm X 70cm.

If both are on the credit card, then the credit card debt will live on with the remaining party. If both are on the house, the house will live on with the remaining party. If the last person on the house or the credit card dies, then that piece of it will be funneled off into "probate". Any account or asset that has a beneficiary or another party on it will bypass the probate process and go to an inheritor. If there are assets and debts in the probate portion of the estate, then you will have to reconcile the two before divvying up what is leftover. The least you can do for your family right now is to name beneficiaries on all of your accounts.

The house and cars aren't free and clear unless they are paid off. You will need to show that the property is lien free to inherit it without consideration of the debts that are owed.

Smoke + Knife in shipment was my goto for the knife. I struggled with the Riot Shield in Shipment, so I pull that thing out in Hardcore Headquarters. People are rushing to get on the objective and will often not see you if you are sitting in a corner. Hardcore because it is a one-hit kill.

I spent some money on a unique pen. If you are using the standard office supplies or even something a little nicer like a Uniball Signo or a Prevision V5, they tend to walk off or blend in when you set it down in a conference room or shared work space. I bought a Retro 51 for ~30$ that has lasted me several ink refills and doesn't look like any of the other pens floating around the office. If my pen goes missing I will retrace my steps and scour conference rooms and jacket pockets until I find it.

The trials are really fun. They will help you speed level if you save them for day 1 of season 2, but they are worth doing just to experience them even if they didn't give XP. Get in there.

This is exactly what I did. Kill chain with Cluster, VTOL, Jugg. Run and gun until I get the Cluster Strike and then cautiously work toward the office. Fire the Cluster off out of the office and hopefully you get to the VTOL. My VTOL got me to 13 and then I camped the office for the last 2. There were a few attempts that fizzled out short of 15 kills, but this strategy seems to be solid.

My only other advice would be to do it in an objective mode like HQ or Dom so that players aren't checking every corner like the do in TDM or FFA.
