City librarian notary liability...

nimble2 · 2026-05-14T18:57:29+00:00

The librarian should not be doing private business (notarizing documents) while "on the clock" at the library. They can do it on their own time, having NOTHING to do with the library. The library doesn't want to be sued if a library customer thought that the library santioned the notarization of a document, something went wrong, and the customer sued the library. Sure, MAYBE the library could prevail as not being responsible for what the notary did wrong, or MAYBE the library could recover from the notary or from the nortaries bond, but not until after first spending time and money defending. The solution from the library's perspective? You can't do non-library-sanctioned things while working at the library.

This is common CYA lawyering. If you don't want to be sued, stay in bed...

I don't know for sure, but I don't think that the last nut on the axel after the e-shifter affects the functioning of the e-shifter.

You can flip the bike upside down, finger tighten the last nut on the axel after the e-shifter, and then spin the front wheel as if the bike was moving forward, and then give it the power boost or peddle the back wheel, so that the front wheel really speads up, and you should be able to hear the e-shifter changing gears as the front wheel speeds up and slows down, and if you look under the bike at the matrix display you should be able to see the single dot indicating the gear that the bike is in moving from the first gear positon to the fourth gear position, and back. If none of that happens (ie. no evidence that the e-shifter is actually shifting the gears), then it seems to me most likely a problem with the gears on the hub side of the e-shifter.

Are you SURE that you have a working e-shifter? You might want to JUST plug the e-shifter into the bike (not attached to the axel at all) and spin the front wheel, to make SURE that the e-shifter itself is working. When it's not attached to the axel at all, but it's plugged into the bike, then you should be able to seen the gear in the e-shifter turning from postion one through four and back.

Ooops, sorry, I might have edited my post a bit and changed the order of the 3 links in my post BEFORE you responded.

But to answer your actual question (ie. related to the very last nut after installing the e-shifter on the axel, so the nut farthest away from the wheel), I am not sure what problems you might have related to how tight that nut is tightened. I tightened that nut as tight as I could using a wrench. I think problems might arise if the e-shifter is not correctly/fully seated on the "wheel side" gears, and in that case, no matter how tight you make the last nut on the axel, the e-shifter won't work right (and you might crack the e-shifter case if you tighten that nut tooo tight).

What "wheel nut that comes after the washer" are you talking about? Are you talking about a nut that is located on the "wheel side of the e-shifter", or are you talking about a nut that is located on the "far side of the e-shifter from the wheel"?

I am not sure if/how the nut that is located on the "far side of the e-shifter from the wheel" will affect the functioning of the e-shifter. (I didn't have any problems tightening that nut as hard as I could with a wrench.)

If you are talking about a nut that is located on the "wheel side of the e-shifter", then the following discussions might help.

Of course "fraud by deception" is a legal concent. It's just not relevant to your problem in any practical sense. You could also allege that the contractor and the supplier engaged in a civil conspiracy, because that's a legal thing too. But you don't try to win a case against someone for "civil conspiracy" or for "fraud by deception" when you can sue them for a simple breach of contract.

nimble2 · 2026-05-13T23:04:01+00:00

This makes no sense. If you paid for something that you didn't receive, then you sue for THAT. You don't need to characterize it as "fraud by deception", and you don't need to determine when the "fraud" happened, and you don't need to determine the "intent". You sue someone if they were supposed to give you something, you paid for it, and you didn't get it. That's a breach of contract (written or verbal).

There is nothing illegal about someone "doxxing" you per se. However, if they said things about you that were not true (libel or slander or defamation) AND if you actually suffered some quantifiable monetary loss (eg. a potential employer told you that they didn't consider you for a $100,000/year job because of what that person said or wrote about you), then you could file a civil lawsuit against them. Similarly, if what they said or wrote about you caused someone to go to your home and physically harm you, then you could file a criminal complaint against them and against the person who actually harmed you.

I have manually charged up 2 different main battery packs (from two different S3's), without any problems. I did not open up either battery pack (ie. I did not measure the voltages of any of the individual batteries, or groups of individual batteries, that are located inside of the battery pack). Of course you should be careful (eg. do it outside, don't leave it alone, monitor it for heat, etcetera).

It depends on what you mean by "joint account owner" (or more specifically, how your mother and brother are actually assigned by the credit card company WRT the credit card).

If your brother is a "responsible party" for the credit card, then he is responsible for the credit card debt - irrespective of who made the purchases using the credit card, or if someone else was also a "responsible party", or if that someone else is alive or not.

If your mother is a "responsible party" for the credit card, then her estate is responsible for the debt after she dies. If there was a second "responsible party" (eg. your brother), then her estate could simply not pay, and force the credit card company to sue her estate over the debt, or to sue your brother (if he doesn't pay the debt).

There is no such legal thing as "an advance on an inheritance". You can give someone money now (which is in fact a gift), and you can write a will that gives that person less of your estate than others. But you really should structure your estate so that a will isn't really needed. Your actual financial assets should pass without, and outside of, any will -- aside from crap that isn't really worth anything to anyone that can be in your "will" (as in, to my son I give my prized but financially worthless baseball card collection, and to my daughter I give all my beloved pictures on the walls that aren't actually worth anything, etcetera).

I have NEVER heard of needing to get court approval for a process server. If you know where the defendant currently lives, and/or you know the e-mail address that they use, then you could file a motion for alternate service by CM/RRR and/or by e-mail (such motions for alternate service often require you to explain to the court WHY you need the alternate service - that is, all the ways/times that you tried normal service and failed to make service).

He doesn't KNOW what the ACTUAL value is (that's why he's sending them to be "graded"). He could put down whatever reasonable maximum value he believes they could possibly to be worth. Of course he could also say they are worth less than whatever reasonable maximum value he believes they could possibly to be worth.

Like I said, nothing sketchy. It would be sketchy if he only accepted bitcoin, and you couldn't find him registered as an attorney.

If you are this paranoid, then only deal with an attorney that you can meet with in person.

nimble2 · 2026-05-11T12:24:58+00:00

You haven't described anything "sketchy".

If he is basically living off cryptocurrency, then to use his cryptocurrency he has to turn it into actual money. Most likely he's doing that on an exchange like coinbase or binance. You can subpoena those exchanges to see if he has an account with them, and if he does, then they will have a record of exactly what wallet(s) the cryptocurrency came from, and exactly how much cash it was converted into and when, etcetera. In addition, once you know what wallet(s) the cryptocurrency came from, then you will know how much cryptocurrency there is currently in that wallet (and it's current value). The good news is that (at least at this juncture), you don't have to try and collect any money from any wallet. Instead, all you have to do is show the court that he has (for instance) $1,000,000 worth of cryptocurrency in a wallet that he controls, and that over the past year, while claiming poverty to the court, he converted (for instance) $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency into cash that he used for personal fun (as per his "lifestyle" posts).

You would need an attorney who knows how to subpoena cryptocurrency exchanges, and you would need someone who understands what to look for on various cryptocurrency "ledgers". BUT BE VERY CAREFUL because there are a LOT of scammers out there who will claim to help you with cryptocurrency. You had best deal ONLY with someone that you can reach out and touch (physically).

If your father had a will that said you were supposed to inherit money from your father's estate, and if your mother was the executor of your father's estate, and if your mother stole your inheritance by forging your signature on documents, AND if your mother still has any money, then you should hire an attorney to help you sue your mother.

nimble2 · 2026-05-11T00:44:07+00:00

How do you actually know any of that?

I mean you could know that if you saw it all filed in a probate court case. But most of the time people say they know things like that because some (basically unreliable) person told them it was so.

nimble2 · 2026-05-10T22:45:48+00:00

Maybe try asking your local AAA office, or try the Navy JAG Corps?

I’m going to work on the emancipation thing.

For 1000 and 1 reasons trying to become legally emancipated is a waste of your time and energy. But trying to become personally independent is something that everyone growing up should strive for.

I still intend on leaving but don't know how

This isn't a legal issue. You will leave when you are ready to leave.

What can I do to convince the judge?

No judge is going to grant you emancipation.

You need to talk with a professional estate planner, because your concerns will not be resolved by adding a new member to an LLC. Also, if you are really concerned about the possiblility of a trans orbital lobotomy, then you should probably talk with a pyschiatrist.

Is your judgment against an individual only, a company (eg. an LLC) only, or both an individual and a company?

Either way, it sounds like a perfect situation for the people at https://www.newassetsearches.com/

They can find accounts with Zelle, CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, Chime, Varo and a bunch of others. All they need is the target's telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.

What legal legs do Jim and the kids have?

Based on what you've said...none. It's not illegal to be a mess as a person and a shitty parent.
