There is a chance it’s “outside” in some sort of deep box but that seems unlikely unless you are in the south.

You need a plumber unfortunately and if you really don’t have one it might be a grand or more. Schedule with water company to turn it off at the street, cut, add a good modern shutoff in a useful location (which might require changing layout) and so on.

Good luck, but I would not do it myself based on the comments so far. Just fyi.

It won’t happen. They will complain, but the judge has final say and if they name a juror they will go to jail and face disbarment. This is not a game and they know it.

You are right to worry in general, but this is one place and detail I wouldn’t worry about.

The selection process will take a while, but it won’t be impossible and the lawyers won’t be able to hose that part up. There will be attempts to move the venue (already talking about trying to go to wv) but the law is clear that it should be handled via the dc federal system.

Delays in general will happen.

They will make motions around the questionnaires going to the potential jurors and many more things. Most of which the judge has pure control over. Then they will attempt to research each of those selected and get them thrown out to force a mistrial. The judge will have lots of alternates.

It’s a short case with extraordinary focus. It will take much longer than it should, but it has none of the difficulty like the clearances and other issues in florida. Keep up your hope, I’m not saying everything is perfect but these aren’t the problem areas.

Yes and I know many who have. Your experience is not the norm for high profile cases.

Cases where there is no overriding community exposure is significant less invasive/picky.

There is a difference between not heard of it and willing to weigh the evidence laid in front of them. Both sides will axe all who have strong opinions.

It will be difficult, but not impossible. Even in the dc area.

None of what you said is true. I know what you mean, and it’s a good worry, but juries are not purely “random”.

They are heavily scrutinized and thoroughly checked from both sides. A large group of potentials are brought together (randomly) and a selection process takes place. Both sides form written questions of the potential jurors to ensure they aren’t a shoe in for the other side. Those questions are provided to a judge who validates that they are not bad. Then the questions are provided to the individuals to answer with the judges guidance. Then they are selected to serve or be alternates by all three parties. Yes trumps lawyers will be there and have a say but it can be countermanded by the other side and the judge focuses on the meat of the items.

In trump’s case the pool will be very large and the judge will be spending a very long time talking to each to ensure they will be impartial and fair. Above and beyond the simple questionnaire. They also have the capacity to double check for obvious issues like lying about their belief structure and the judge sets out the requirements for the case.

The judge 100% talks to the jurors directly and in general tries to engender a level of trust between themselves and the potential jurors. They will ensure neutrality.

Yes it could go sideways, but it is unlikely. The politics are so unbelievably polarizing it would be hard to imagine a juror lying through their teeth to get into there with the risk of being found to have lied through the process. And seriously lying on the juror question forms is.. bad. Really bad.

Btw lawsuits end in a settlement because the cost of the lawsuit is higher than the cost of settling and getting money now. Nothing more or less. You are conflating very different processes.

Be angry about the right things with the right information. It’s way more healthy and will help you energize others.

That wasn’t quite the question. He is up for 44 federal charges and 8? In ny state I believe.

If charged in ga there could be any number of charges there and the door is open to more related to the violence itself. All depends on the evidence.

Reality for what happened was way different. Now no one knows if he really did poison the apple, but others at the school said he made statements about having done it.

So who knows, but just remember confused super unbelievably young smart person in college getting abused by their teachers and told to just take it. There was no real structure of support in those days so he snapped.

Fortunately no one was actually hurt and in the end (after disciplinary action) it all turned out ok. Just nothing like the movie trying to explain that in 30 seconds and force his connection with theory vs practical physics.

While the statement team player can be twisted to doing extra work, the real goal is to have a group of people who are cross trained enough to keep working when some “random thing” happens. Say you have a contract that needs to get reviewed and signed, but you are going on vacation. Can you depend on someone else on your team to get it done? Would they do it for you?

This isn’t about them doing 60 hours of work, just doing something that isn’t their normal day job because it is important.

In sales it means covering another region due to someone having surgery. Or making sure their input for future plans is helpful for all and speaking up even if they won’t directly see a benefit.

Just because you see the statement “team player” don’t think less of the position yet. Learn what the duties are and get some info from others on if they are actually team players top to bottom and if they encourage a great work life balance. Some do, some don’t.

It’s… fine.

The sound is terrible overall, horrible mixing with some things loud and some quiet.

Graphics are pretty but not good. Stop frame looks great, but the animation that happens over and over is terrible. Things like sheathing a sword are poorly timed and just… jarring.

Luminance is off. It just seems to sdr to hdr expand and not add anything useful. So you have the old school grey haze on most scenes. Possibly to lower gpu use.

You MUST turn on action mode. The pretty mode is terrible with massive frame drops.

Battles are a mess. Could be fun, should be fun, but the graphics look like they drop to 480p with pretty colors and it’s impossible to see anything. You end up just timing button presses by rote bs what your see.

It’s ok. If you want to see characters say the word “fuck” over and over again and that is the basis on your decision, it’s a must buy. Otherwise personally I would wait for patches and a significant sale.

It’s in another room. For the ps4 I installed an external Bluetooth antenna. Might do the same for the ps5 eventually.

Yep. Already doing that, but going back to wireless would be nice. Oh well.
