    I don't know what the COA's claim to back taxes would be. There was an ordinance exempting the houses from COA property taxes. The City Council is now trying to overturn that ordinance.

    Ireland is one of the fastest growing economies in Europe. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/these-will-be-europes-fastestgrowing-economies-in-2019-153026674.html And I'm not sure what your point had to do with Michael Knight's patently false claim that Ireland has the "opposite tourism problem" (i.e., too few tourists). Ireland had 9.6 million tourists in 2018. The country's population is 4.8 million. https://www.tourismireland.com/Research/Overseas-Tourism-and-Tourism-Ireland-Key-Facts. Tourism is absolutely huge in Ireland.

    When does the schedule come out?

    Duke either draws a BB, a HBP or gets an extra base hit

    Duke is looking good. I wonder why they didn't have a more successful season. I also think they are doing this without their ace who is hurt.

    Thanks, I think that will be an interesting line of cases to follow in the future. On one hand, law enforcement will have a very strong interest (e.g., solving a murder or rape) and they're testing the DNA of the likely perp. But, on the other hand, the search is insanely broad.
  7. CDAK
    If law enforcement obtains a warrant, could they conduct the search against profiles that have opted out (or not opted in)? That is, deliver a warrant to ancestry/23andme requiring them to conduct the search against their entire database regardless of user consent?

    I think some of yall have romanticized versions of prisons in Europe. Maybe those romanticized versions are semi-accurate in Finland and Norway. They aren't accurate in France, Italy, the UK, etc.

    Ok, do it now before the window closes. Or do it two years ago or whenever these enhanced DNA techniques became available.
  10. CDAK
    If the have DNA from the possible killer, why don't they run it through ancestry, 23andme or one of the other services? That's how they're solving most of these old cold cases (i.e., they'll find relatives of the person and investigate from there).

    3 run bomb by Ok St in the top of the 9th to take a one run lead. I feel a little bad for Nebraska's starter.

    2019 NCAA Regionals

    I like the move. I think more #2 and #3 seeds should do this. You're in the same spot if you lose game 1 or game 2. The goal is to win the regional, not the first game. Save your ace for a potential matchup with the #1 knowing that it reduces your chances of winning game 1. And yeah, if I was Schloss and started Williamson against Cal and lost, I would pitch King in game 2 against Central Connecticut (assuming they lose to Arkansas). They are one of the worst teams to make the tournament. I'd hold Lodolo for game 3 (unless Central Conn upsets Arkansas and TCU faces an 0-1 Arkansas in game 2). If Lodolo never plays, oh well, we tried to win the regional that we probably shouldn't have been in, and Lodolo will have to console himself with being a top 10 pick in the draft.

    What are the Unsullied going to do in Naath? They are going to tell the Naathers? that their captain loved a woman who was from Naath. She's now dead. So she won't be joining us. But we have thousands of eunuch soldiers and we plan to chill here for a while, again because our captain loved a woman from Naath.

    I did South Rim to North Rim in a day hike in October last year. Started at Bright Angel and went up the North Kaibab. It was great but tough. I wouldn't do it again without more training. North to South is slightly easier because the South Rim is lower. But we did South to North for whatever reason. Hit the trail at 6am and finished just past 6pm.

    No, that hasn't been mentioned.

    I hope Loughlin reads this thread at some point before her jail term is up. I think consistently and vociferously defending her moves me to the front of the conjugal visit line. Most of you are way down the list.

    I spent about $1,100 on the ring, which I know is very cheap. It was an old ring made a hundred years or so ago and my wife is really into retro rings so it worked out well for us. We had just bought a house at the time and we both valued other things ahead of the ring. If my wife had pressed for the traditional engagement ring, however, we probably would have gone that direction. I don't think there's a "right" way but my advice would be don't give in to the social pressure without at least having an open conversation about finances, goals and where the ring fits in.

    Sure, she may be a more arrogant person - I don't know. But our due process rights are our due process rights. Attacking her for exercising them is perverse. Loughlin and indigent criminal defendants enjoy the same due process rights. That's the extent of the comparison. Sure, acting in a haughty manner outside courthouses could be arrogant. I haven't followed that drama and won't comment on it. She's not a sympathetic defendant - I get it. But calling her entitled and arrogant for not pleading guilty is ridiculous.
  20. CDAK
    That's always been my claim (i.e., its never arrogant or entitled to exercise your due process rights). Check thread history. It's not my claim "now." Righteous indignation over someone pleading not guilty and forcing the government to prove them guilty is grotesque.
  21. CDAK
    Lol, I'm not going to keep offering the same explanation because you can't grok it, but I'll offer some context. It seems like a lifetime ago now, but I was a public defender in Tennessee. I had numerous clients that thought once they were able to explain their perspective to the jury, judge or even DA, the charges would be dropped or dismissed or they'd be found not guilty. None of them were arrogant or entitled for exercising their due process rights. Most, but not all, simply overestimated their ability to sway others and struggled to appreciate other perspectives.

    It's surprising to me (but I suppose it shouldn't be) that individuals are able to pay Latham's rates for a project of any size. I'm sure many (maybe most) of their partners are over $1,000 per hour.
  23. CDAK
    You mischaracterized my post. The act of exercising your due process rights is never arrogant or entitled, regardless of underlying motivations.
  24. CDAK
    I've called it a motivation several times. To wit.
  25. CDAK
    I've explained it succinctly several times. It's never arrogant or entitled to exercise your due process rights. You keep belaboring a point that no one is arguing (i.e., whether it's a wise decision). I don't know why you keep belaboring that point.
