Yeah, all the misunderstandings and assumptions they make about each other are really frustrating.

Also in the most recent Cormoran Strike novel.

quote:

---

Not in their jobs.

---

They never get frustrated with people they work with or projects they have? They never make errors because they are distracted by their outside lives?

quote:

---

As someone with an iota of the law, a little more than a Wendy's employee.

---

You expect that person to have the professionalism and cold rationality of your idealized engineer?

quote:

---

Reading isn't that complicated for most humans, although statutory language can be cumbersome.

---

That doesn't answer the question. How much "reading" would they be required to do to be qualified?

quote:

---

Maybe a non-partial jury 

---

Which defeats the purpose and in your mind doesn't exist (meaning you again don't have a good answer for this question).

quote:

---

I work with corporate attorneys, not ambulance chasers, so I’m used to professionalism.

---

LOL

quote:

---

And yes — a professional jury would be incredible. No emotions, as you are prone to grace us with.

---

Right, just because someone is a "professional" they automatically obtain the magical power to refrain from using emotion in their decision-making.

quote:

---

People who know the law, are impartial.

If you could remove potential corruption, absolutely.

---

If we could ensure this, we wouldn't need juries, we could just rely on bench trials.

This board gets more Hobbesian by the day.

When we were in NYC recently, we ate out at a really nice French place one night. My wife ordered the roasted half chicken special with several sauces, and I thought it was a waste but kept my mouth shut. I gotta say, whatever they did with it was pretty damn amazing. Wouldn't pay it every day, and still wouldn't order it for myself at a place like that, but it was probably the best non-fried chicken I ever tasted.

Easy to solve. Hold a big classified meeting, come up with an outlandish plan that you don’t intend to follow through with and see how Israel reacts then call them out on it

---

They definitely wouldn't see right through that...

quote:

---

it’s NIL, not rev share.

---

Rev share is NIL, just from the school.

We shouldn't ignore either one (or anyone).

quote:

---

Don’t do wheelies down the middle of the street shithead.

I can't be the only person here who used to build bike ramps in the neighborhood out of cinder blocks and plywood, then scramble to move them whenever a car came by, right?
