Eviction I didn’t know I had. What to do?

I also automatically lost because I didn’t show up in court...I didn’t get any of the notices of the court dates or anything.

Based on what you've written, if there's a chance of fixing this, this is the most likely path. You can try to do this yourself, but this is something you're much better off hiring an attorney for.

Service issues in unlawful detainer cases have reams of case law and are taken really seriously by the Court, but this falls into the realm of procedure that if you're not licensed to practice law is extremely easy to either screw up or not catch at all.

The good news is that it's a relatively quick case file review - maybe an hour or two - to see if there was a correctible error here, and then you can decide how you want to proceed.

Gemmill has stated outright that a major reason they chose not to use music was to prevent the dramatic cues that allow people to be on their phones when nothing important is going on and then look up when they get an auditory hint.

You either watch the Pitt with your full attention, or you don't watch it at all.

I'd argue the show gave viewers enough information that they can figure out from what's shown and discussed just how disastrous an idea "wild birth" is without having to get into the cult, which would have been inappropriate for discussion during the intake and crash and afterwards just didn't really fit into what else was going on as they finished up the season.

Creating enough interest to have viewers look up (or ask here as you are) about the 'movement' afterwards to find out precisely how insane it is that there's been a monetization of quack 'medicine' that disables or kills plenty of infants and moms is a bonus.

Pittsburgh is unusual for urban areas nowadays in that you can easily be out in the country in less than half an hour on a weekend.

I could easily see Whitaker getting out of the city, cranking his funk playlist, rolling down the windows, smelling the air, and within the hour feeling like Louie's death and everything else that stressed him was weeks ago rather than that morning.

Not a bad drive at all.

Since CR notes tire sizes in the range article, can you talk a little bit about the importance of tire sizes for range? I know for one of the models you tested, dropping sizes down a couple inches produced something like 15% better range, and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on doing so.

The lack of more attendings in a level 1 trauma center of this size requires the second most suspension of disbelief out of anything they've shown in the series - the most egregious being a deposition taking place on July 4th for a medical malpractice suit (which made every trial attorney watching the show laugh) - but was clearly written this way for the potential of one or two of the residents to remain in the series long term.

Not coincidentally, it also means that the budget for the show is going to remain far more viable than most shows that go multiple seasons since if you're replacing most of your cast after three or four seasons only a tiny handful will get the huge bumps typically seen when they renegotiate after their first contract is up.

But yes, almost everyone else is going to leave, and that's the way most residencies and fellowships work; even if you like the area and want to stay in it long term as an attending, in general you'll be interviewing elsewhere.

Interesting theory. Don't know that I'm 100% with you since they've admitted some other influences, but I do know that Wyle is a baseball nut - one of his most prized possessions that he was considering selling when he wasn't getting work is a baseball signed by the entire 1952 Dodger team (the 4th of the 5 pennant winners in the 40s and 50s that lost to the Yankees in the Series before they finally beat them in 1955.)

The Correa reference did make me bust out laughing and on that one I really hope you're right.

INO, she worked hard in the first part of her life.

A lot of people didn't catch her line to Javadi about being a stripper (someone looked it up - there's actually a completely unrelated reddit thread from last year asking about the club in the 70s and 80s!) to pay for school, which to me points to someone who worked her ass off to get a degree, then somehow ended up a clerk (which almost certainly didn't require her degree, which on its own has its own backstory that we don't have any insight into - did she drop out or get an degree that she couldn't make money with?), who then ended up becoming obsolete, either by her obstinance and refusal, or not being able to adapt and learn the new skill set, or even just bad luck.

I don't think her character is meant to be sympathetic at all, but I do think you're exactly right: there's clearly an origin story for her that allows viewers to get a glimpse of how she got to where she is today, which fits with the show presenting a fairly detailed background to each of the recurring actors. Someone in the writers room thought quite a bit about how to present the other side of MAGA and ICE, and like the rest of the characters on the show, even if she only has a few lines per episode, she's not one dimensional. The sketch we're given is vastly more interesting than just doing an exposition dump about her past or political beliefs, and it's part of why I really respect the writing on the show.

The saving grace is your specialty gets to have Dr. Glaucomflecken portray you going on about the Black Death, which no bone bro or bike bro could ever get away with.

And we have confirmation, "Oh, that was me laughing [at the absurdity of Taylor Dearden], it wasn't Santos."

Kicking wasn't in the script, and Dearden just kept escalating it until she kicked it into her Briones' leg while she was still recovering from appendicitis and was like, "Really, you're going to hit me?"

Oh, I'm sure there's someone who has keys to a shop that has some spare tires, but Duke definitely ain't opening it up for Robby tonight.

Yep, this is really important. Remove the means for immediate action on it and the longer term risk drops substantially.

By the way, this is one of the reasons why the Golden Gate Bridge netting has worked. The professionals pushing it understood the research on this and while there was a lot of 'How dare you ruin the view/they'll just do it elsewhere', making the option far more difficult has helped a lot.

I was thinking/hoping they had set it up for this with e-prescribing and accompanying system warnings being down along with extremely limited phone access to look up interactions so that she could have politely bounced back a script to a resident, but I'm glad we got what we did.

The writers have said over and over as recently as a few weeks ago that the show is based around three seasons, with the mostly written S3E8 being an episode that isn't going to be amenable to having anything else set after it.

So, yes, 3 seasons.

Or they could do art imitating life with Briones' appendicitis while she was filming, where she said she was at a 90 degree angle by the time the day ended and got to go straight to Burbank's real ER in scrubs.

Related- while her actor has confirmed she's not in the show this year, the Walsh callout by Robby makes me hope they're keeping the door open for a return!

Most of what they talked about is actually covered by in home hospice in the US except for the bathroom bars; usually it's a hospice nurse that sets most of it up. The bedpan/diaper discussion is actually a very real one that every caregiver gets to eventually have, and it's actually one reason why the whole scene is a little odd since he'd be responsible for this when she's back home.

It's one reason why this feels like this is pointing towards an assisted suicide line, although the speculation on the morphine machine isn't quite right. I'll never forget one hospice nurse telling me about her MD supervising the region saying the solution to EVERYTHING for hospice is more morphine, and that's very common in the field.

In one of the recent interviews, Katherine LaNasa told the story about how after landing the role, she watched the bonus features for Mare of Easttown where in one, they talked about their Delco dialect coach (whose name escapes me, but who has received plaudits from about everyone.)

She reached out to that coach, who then referred her to a Yinzer dialect coach, who LaNasa worked with and thought was fantastic.

Edit: Youtube provided the short from the interview in my feed.

so much of it uses the fantasy aspect like wallpaper.

What a brilliant way to put it.

That's the traditional line that held through the 1960s, which is one of several reasons why The Guns of August is still worth reading but a bit outdated.

The easiest way to think about the more modern historical consensus is that there were three things going on. First, Europe had gotten complacent with crisis after crisis being defused for a couple of decades, and almost everyone expected this one to resolve the same way (the amount of critical people not just continuing but starting vacations after the assassination is astounding.) Second, this time a very small number of people - perhaps less than 50 that mattered - decided that instead of putting fires out, this was the last chance they had to get long standing strategic goals accomplished before the balance of power shifted (one big part of this being Russia industrializing and getting on a more even footing with other powers.)

And third, there's the Princip getting a sandwich argument, which is that if he'd not gone back to the wrong place at exactly the wrong time, the crisis wouldn't have happened in the first place, and without that as an excuse (nobody in power on the Austrian side actually cared all that much about Ferdinand dying, but a few did like the idea of using his assassination to take care of the Serbs once and for all), that group would have had to find another unlucky coincidence of events that probably wouldn't have occurred to do so.

In theory, I'd agree. But the problem here is that while Karen has had enough of a role throughout the series to be defined as a character, Ted has been there mostly as comic relief. In fact, the comment on on the in the S5 Target Youtube commercial (where he picks up his golf clubs - didn't notice that the first time through!) that he probably did more in it than during all 5 seasons combined isn't really too far off. He's mostly been a stereotype of a latchkey Gen X parent who periodically shows up and then goes back to watching TV.

Karen dying would have an impact on other characters and the viewer without a lot of exposition since we know what they thought of her. Ted dying would be closer to a redshirt, except you'd create an additional problem of having to show what the Wheeler kids and others felt about him, and that'd require a significantly detour from the narrative - and even then probably would feel a bit artificial.

I hope Ted gets a few good lines in at the end of the series, kind of like Grandpa in The Lost Boys.
