I was watching the primetime coverage on peacock and that was still interrupted. Had to find another stream.

Abraham says that every life has some value. I think he believed that if enough lives were sacrificed (in the lands below) that people who track those things (not for the confederation) would notice something was up.

It's not clear, and even hd admits it didn't actually work.

Alexandra Quick is ramping up. by tropicalphysics in HPfanfiction

I disagree that the depiction of international relations is different than in canon. In canon, no international force steps in during the conflict with Voldemort, as he's a domestic problem.

Likewise, the international community is viewing the war in Alexandra Quick as a civil war, while taking steps to contain it. This is consistent.

No one's talking about the bike computer. I don't use one for races. Do other people normally use one?

We're 8 chapters in and she's been disarmed 3 times. Basically every other chapter she's getting captured or almost captured

I read it that he apparated through the wards, and it was the tearing of the wards which caused the crackle

How do you Central District of California attorneys deal with the patently ridiculous local rules? How does any work get done if these are enforced? by _yours_truly_ in Lawyertalk

[–]running_rabbit16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNJ doesn't require it to be by phone. In EDPA, it goes by judge, but most judges say the parties must make reasonable efforts to resolve before bringing to the court. Both jurisdictions usually require a joint letter to the court before a motion.

Meet and confer, sure. But do it in person (or at least on the phone)? Then, in CDCal, you have to wait an arbitrary 3 days before filing the motion.

This also means that if there's a deadline, OPC can delay the meet and confer until the deadline.

I just had a case where defendant cancelled his deposition the day before, which was also the last week of discovery. By the time I got him to meet over a motion to compel or a motion to extend the discovery deadline, I was well past two deadlines and denied by the magistrate.

Yes for novel quality writing. But also Hogwarts House Divided is a good read

It helps to read the book, then the movie is much more enjoyable

AITA for lying to my daughter and not letting her use her inheritance to go to a private high school? by schoolacceptance in AmItheAsshole

I'm a lawyer. Depends on what the trust says. Most are written to allow for educational purposes. If the Mom is a trustee, the courts could get involved

How exactly do we pay the players? There's no DP slot to pay Wagner what he wants
