I am reminded constantly of Raylan Givens' "If you meet an asshole."- Brian Kelly to L$U
Generally speaking, that's probably a disfavored argument in the courts: "I'm damaged goods now, no one will hire me." Courts hear that general species of argument in many contexts, trying to overinflate damages, and probably tend to be skeptical. But the bigger shit show the institution makes of it the more traction that gets.- Brian Kelly to L$U
As stated in the post, unless there is some clause of the contract, variously called a "buyout," "guarantee," "liquidated damages," or whatever that specifies what happens if the institution terminates the contract without cause. Jimbo's contract apparently stated that he received 100% of his compensation due under the contract, regardless.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
A couple of things I see conflated in all this stuff. Most states offer some kind of tax break or advantage for a "homestead," that generally means your primary residence, that you spend most of your time in or intend to return to. Broadly speaking, you cannot have two homesteads, certainly not within one state. The ramifications of this are state law penalties, like you owe back whatever tax or other advantage you obtained by falsely claiming a second, or third, homestead. That differs, at least in legal effect, from representations that might be made to a mortgage company or guarantor like FNMA or VA. The definition of "principal residence" and "vacation home" and all that differs from state designations of homestead. They may be similar, but they're not the same and not prescribed by law, but rather by the rules of the mortgage company or guarantor. The penalty for making false representations to a mortgage company/guarantor comes in potential criminal liability for mortgage or bank or wire fraud. And possibly foreclosure. An incorrect or even fraudulent homestead designation is not mortgage fraud. First of all, it's not a representation to a mortgage company, but rather to a state or state taxing entity. Second, the definitional differences can be significant. For example, you can have more than one "principal residence," but not more than one homestead, typically. Homestead designations can be, perhaps, EVIDENCE of mortgage fraud. That is, to the extent the definition of a homestead under state law is the same or overlaps that of "principal residence" or whatever representation you make to a mortgage company, your homestead claims may undercut or belie that or vice versa. It seems the richie riches and political types commonly claim more than one homestead. They deserve whatever penalties state law calls for. But that isn't mortgage fraud.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй

Just for a bit of perspective, a 2018 Buick Regal Sportback would blow the doors off it 0-60, 5.6 vs. 8.0. A 2025 Chevy Malibu with a 1.5L four would run neck and neck with it.- Trump’s America

Actually, Donald, you're both fat. Pritzker, however, unlike you, is not a slob. He actually dresses like a billionaire. And he doesn't have stupid hair, like you and Kyle's mom.- Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
https://www.cwc.org/CWC/CWC/Updates/2025/President-Trump-Nominates-Carter-Crow-As-EEOC-General-Counsel.aspx Fulbright head of employment tapped to EEOC GC. I know this guy a little bit. Not at all surprised he's at least a little Trumpy, well-off, lives in Memorial all that shit. Did not think he's that political. But I'm kind of surprised anyone with a credible career at a credible place like Norton Rose Fulbright would join the confederacy of dunces that is Trump appointments. I guess "general counsel of EEOC" is a good credential, but geezus criminy. He went to blOwU, which may explain everything.- Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
I was super-skeptical of those for tshirts and the like as it's really just polyester. That is DryFit, CoolMax, cooldrysupermaxfit, whatever. But, I started mountain biking, a very sweaty endeavor in Texas, and damned if they aren't kinda the shit. But the cheap ass ones from Walmart or Amazon are as good as any.- Lawyer question: illegal stop?
They're not "falling for the line." It's a fact that it will be suspended for six months on refusal, even if you are acquitted on the DUI. It is relatively simple to obtain an occupational license, but you have to go through the steps and pay some fees.- Trump’s America

- General Scouting Thread - BSA + GSA
Probably mentioned it before, but I'm an Eagle Scout. I had kind of a love-hate relationship with Scouting at the time (was nerdy, interfered with my stupid me time, but I also dig outdoor stuff), but on reflection, it's one of the best and more formative experiences of my life. Glad it's still relevant for some of you.- Real Life Beavis Running For Texas House District 31, US Congress.
Kind of ironic that this guy is an Israeli named Offer Shlomi. At some point, you'd think Jews would be very wary of an administration like this. I guess Steven Miller gives them some reassurance.- 2025 Texas Volleyball - Locked and Reloaded
At volleytalk? Those are some ruthless, catty mofos. "We just want Lexi to be happy."- Lawyer question: illegal stop?
Don't blow because Intoxilyzers are notoriously inaccurate. Maybe not even if you've drunk nothing. But, you will have your license suspended with pretty much no recourse except an occupational license for 180 days. If you really are sober, demand a blood test. They can't suspend if you take one. And if you're borderline and feel froggy, they might delay enough that your BAC drops. Assuming it doesn't go up (that happens depending on the length from your last drink).- Trump’s America

They're both grumpy looking sonsabitches, that's for sure.- Lawyer question: illegal stop?
Would be a fun exercise in witness examination. In fact, something like this is often used in a trial advocacy course. Lead the cop into admitting that the only cause he had for the stop was speeding. See what evidence he has of speeding, then bust him up with the GPS thing. - Trump’s America
