Fair enough.

Did you tell them of the likely outcome up front, or did you make promises of justice?

If you didn’t already know, you wouldn’t ask.

Nope. Last time I “needed legal services,” I paid $730/hr and wound up no better off than if I’d just rolled over on Day 1. I’ve never quoted Shakespeare, but my hiring of an attorney didn’t improve my impression of the species.

According to Jordan Peterson, half of thirty-year-old women have never had a child. Of those, half never will. Of those, 90% will regret it. The girl in the OP doesn’t want to wind up on the wrong side of statistics like that, and the OP shouldn’t want her there either.

“Life starts getting in the way” because you realize that many, many things are more important and more rewarding than work. In the current climate, a girl who wants to get married and have kids ASAP is a rare jewel.

I was just texting about this case with my son, former First Assistant Cameraman. He said, "Sure she was an idiot. But she should've been able to have a live grenade on her table and nobody touch it." That's one insider's perspective.

I have to admit that I'd feel differently about this if Alec Baldwin weren't an anti-gun zealot. As to culpability, the First Assistant Director is generally the person responsible for on-set safety. He delegates to people like armorers, but the responsibility is his. The "Rust" First AD, who...

Inboard gear doors can be hard to find.

That’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

As I said about psychosis, there’s anxiety and then there’s anxiety. Since professionalism is all but dead, when a patient says “I feel anxious,” the NP clicks on “anxiety” and *poof* the patient has a diagnosis. Next patient, please. Unfortunately, the FAA has no way to tell the difference...

I watched a DIY video entitled something like “How to Calibrate a Torque Wrench Using a Fish Scale.” It was pretty straightforward. The first comment said, “See our next video, How to Calibrate a Fish Scale Using a Torque Wrench.” :) All of the DIY solutions I’ve seen have a GI/GO problem...

It doesn’t matter what kind of torque wrench you use if it isn’t accurate, and you don’t know that it’s accurate unless it’s been calibrated, and I have no idea how to do that! I wonder how often an A&P gets his calibrated.

There’s more to this that the mechanics of flying. Someone with legit depression, anxiety, or ADHD might be inclined to skip a weather briefing, forget NOTAMs, ignore TFRs, fail to check fuel or oil, ignore a low tire or strut. In short, their illness inclines them toward less safety. The...

It appears to me (IATM?) that the FAA is operating as if we weren’t living in a time when every disappointment is worth therapy and normal melancholy is worth medicating. Truly “mild” anxiety doesn’t require treatment by definition, yet people get therapy and medications and so bugger themselves...

You're assuming facts not in evidence.

That would be someone who's no longer on antipsychotics and remains asymptomatic. I'd agree that there are individual cases, which is partly what I meant by "there's psychosis and then there's psychosis."

What Club 1 doesn't understand is that a 1/15 share of two airplanes doesn't approach 1/15 of the airplanes' value. Dealing with 14 other shareholders, rules, etc., diminishes the value considerably.

According to wikipedia, where I just spent an embarrassing amount of time after reading this thread, the family contends that the wood was planted. This is entirely possible. One of the most convincing bits of evidence, as noted by at least one juror, was a telephone number written on the wall...

I used to belong to a club whose members' share prices were set by the people they bought them from. That is, when I joined, I bought a share from a departing member. When I left, I sold it to someone else. Share prices were much less than the calculated equity, but they sold for what they sold...
