Great news, a new coffee shop in southern Florida would cost less than $35K to operate over the first six months! :)

It's a cool concept. I expected the mindmap to zoom but it doesn't, making even medium-sized diagrams impossible to read (at least on mobile). I was also hoping "interactive" meant that I could drag and rearrange the branches and leaves of the mindmap, but no such luck.

Anyone tried this?

Weekend project?

> At a low point in his life at age 32, when considering suicide, Fuller reviewed his Chronofile to that date and concluded that he had been most effective when his efforts were on the behalf of others and resolved to focus his future work toward "all humanity".

Additionally, he later concluded that the tool of politics was a total waste of time to do that work. He then focused solely on science and design.

Sometimes a begonia is just a begonia.

I have dappled morning begonias, one of which is in bloom while another is … not doing so well. The cuttings idea is interesting, though, especially because it produces clones — maybe I'll start propagating the best ones!


In general, they also have no duty to know what the law is!

Most (all?) states will also offer pro hac vice, meaning the lawyer can temporarily practice in that case only, typically after applying by way of motion, paying a fee (usually a couple hundred dollars or so) and having an associated local counsel, who is supposed to advise on local legal matters and oversee the foreign attorney (but often does neither).

Courts in many states will start rejecting pro hac requests as they approach the line of abuse, so the attorney will need to become a member of the state's bar.

While pro hac, the attorney generally will have at least the same ethical and competency obligations as any attorney regularly admitted to that state's bar.

May I inquire why?


Masochism, or something like that :)

But more honestly, it comes from reflecting about the ways that knowledge gaps affect FOIA litigation/conversation/interpretation and the criminal litigation reporting/research/investigations I've done/beenapartof. A lot of law-and-law-accessories is learnable within context-and-scope, especially with attorneys to help interpret, but I would like to get past that point. It helps that it's all very interesting.. and people keep asking me when I'm going to become a lawyer, so, ope.


Godspeed!

Fairly typical in state courts, where trial-level judges are generally left to do what they please and often give little if any rationale. In federal courts, judges generally explain themselves (sometimes they are required to) en route to doing what they please.
