    New Emojis are Soon to be Released, Including Big Foot!

    They may not have the material to work with to do that. Information stored on magnetic media like disk drives and solid state drives degrades currently have at best about a 30 year life before significant degradation. Future archeologists may see a period of time in which there is little in the...

    New Emojis are Soon to be Released, Including Big Foot!

    I'll take the second prize of the (healthier) baked chicken instead. Still tasty and I might live a little longer in the bargain.

    Is the End to Civilization as We Know It, Approaching?

    Unfortunately, I agree that the chance of humankind destroying ourselves before nature has the opportunity to wipe us out is the more likely scenario. Maybe at some point in the future we'll learn how to get along with each other without breaking out weapons and killing each other. The history...

    New Emojis are Soon to be Released, Including Big Foot!

    Do we need even more emojis? A lot the ones we already have don't get much use. What do people want, to ditch our current writing method and revert to using pictographs to communicate?

    Advice regarding extreme situation

    As you've evidently not suffered any significant harm so far from the incident I doubt you'll ever have enough in damages to sue for the alleged assault even if the statute of limitations could be extended due to a claim of continuing harm. Until you find the video (if you ever do) you're not...

    Is the End to Civilization as We Know It, Approaching?

    You can rest easy army judge. Civilization will not end due to the earth speeding up. It may end (if something else doesn't doom the planet first) as the planet continues to slow down in rotation, however. The Daily Mail is not known as a stellar news source. Not as bad as our National...

    Using joint checks to protect from mechanic's liens

    What exactly are you worried about that this is meant to solve? Your contract is with the contractor you hired, not the subs the contractor hires to complete parts of the work. If, as is likely, the contract obligates you to pay the contractor then doing what you propose may violate the contract...

    Leases- 18 y/o

    You'd need to arrange a place to stay before you have to move out. That way you can immediately move into your own place. One of the problems the landlord will be concerned about is that you are under the age of majority (age 18). Minors may disaffirm most contracts they make and that would me...

    Driving with wrong license plate, car not registered or insured

    It's not quite that easy. Most attorneys won't take a case until after talking with the prospective client to find out exactly what is going on. If the attorney does not provide a free initial consultation the prospective client may be told what the fee is for that and to bring that payment to...

    What's in the "Big Beautiful Bill" Anyway?

    Republican pledges to eliminate the deficit and start reducing the national debt have been a charade for all of this century. At this point they ought to just be honest to the voters and stop making those pledges. The only difference between the parties now in terms of fiscal responsiblity are...

    Beware, New World Screwworm Cometh!

    My skin is itching after reading that article. Another reminder that in nature even the very small things you can't see can be a major threat. A wild black bear is scary and can kill you, but at least you can easily see and hear the bear if you are attuned to your surroundings. Then make your...

    US Supreme Court reins in rogue lower court federal judges.

    Both conservative and liberal federal district court judges have over the years issued rulings and orders that extend beyond the geographical jurisdiction of the court, including issuing sweeping nationwide injunctions and have agreed to hear cases that are more properly brought to another court...

    Data breech

    You may want to at least consult an attorney to see if there is any legal issue to pursue. Without knowing to whom you sent the e-mail, whether it's a goverment agency or a private person/company, and exactly what the content of the e-mail there isn't much I can tell you. You might also want...

    Data Anonymization On Online Forum Under Article 17 GDPR

    Make it easy for whom? For the companies holding the data? It is most definitely not easy or cheap to extend the GDPR requirements to all users and as they have no such legal requirement they stick to the minimum that the GDPR mandates. The user bears some responsibility, too. If a EU resident...

    Data Anonymization On Online Forum Under Article 17 GDPR

    The EU and UK GDPR rules only apply to those companies that retain information of people in the EU and the UK. Likewise the CA privacy laws only protect the those persons in that state. As a resident of Oregon you don't benefit from any of these laws. Oregon and federal law do not provide the...

    US Supreme Court sides with American gun manufacturers in Mexico’s lawsuit over cartel violence

    Mexico accounts for a very sizable part of our trade; well over $300 billion of both our imports and imports are with Mexico . It has part of the reason that goods that Americans buy were as inexpensive as they were before Trump went off on his misguided tariff romp. Without trade with Mexico...

    David Mamet to Newsmax: Trump, Musk Will Bury Their Beef

    I think David Mamet needs to have the lenses on his reality glasses checked. He is wrong that Trump was "overwhelmingly elected". Perhaps he's also math challenged because no one who was being honest would call getting 49.8% of the popular vote an "overwhelming" victory. That's about as close to...

    Artificial streaming accusation (worth trying to sue)

    It's always great to have a lawyer when in court like settings when you don't know the applicable law very and are unfamiliar with the court/abitration rules that will be used. Especially if the other side has an attorney. Studies of this kind question typically reveal that when one party has a...

    How can states enforce bans on websites or apps?

    First, understand that sites and apps don't have a particular location, though the servers hosting them do. If the owner of the site or app specifically make it available to citizens in a particular state that has banned that site or app from making available in the future and the owner...
