depends on the focus, a BA in physics is not going to be as in depth but more broad and general in education, BS is opposite. The others are the same.

not all liberal arts degrees are good and not all are bad, same with bachelors of science, some good, some worthless

There seems to be some confusion; not all "liberal arts degrees" are BAs, you can get a BS in a liberal arts program. I have a BS in chemistry and a BA in English Lit. Had I just gotten one or the other I would have had the same broad-ranging education.

A liberal arts education is simply a broad education that, besides focusing on your major, you are also required to take a wide range of subjects designed to make you a well-rounded person. So if you get a BS in physics from a liberal arts institution, you are also going to take things like economics, politics, history, sociology, foreign language, fine arts, etc.

The idea of a worthless degree is also interesting. Many here define degree as worthless if it does not naturally lead to a high paying career. This is a fair way to look at it but it also discounts the value of education for education's sake. I grew up in a family that considered education to be as valuable as earning potential. There are certainly schools where the education is near worthless viewed through either lens. Students should also be well informed about the typical career compensation that some degrees limit one to.

most people are not smart enough to know the difference....which might include you btw.

You are conflating smart and educated which are two different things. I have two degrees from a liberal arts institution, I taught as an adjunct professor for 8 years at the same one, and sit on the board now. I have a reasonable understanding of what a liberal arts education is.

Zero government loans or funding should go to liberal arts degrees.

I would bet a million dollars that at the time you typed this, you could not accurately define a liberal arts degree.

FYI, biology, chemistry, math, and physics are all liberal arts.

Those 1970's era dive watches are always interesting. I actually got a Majestime (same case, different dial) in a sack o' watches I used for practice movements. I don't remember the name but it was a French movement. Decent workhorse type manual wind. The thing I liked about it was the case back engraving, it reminded me of a Vostok scuba dude. The only other thing I remember was it was fairly small, maybe 36mm.

I don’t see any point in doing this. We have ADX Florence for those kind of prisoners. Seems like a waste of money and other resources.

---

Anyone who has ever visited Alcatraz would know you need to level it and start over in order to have a functioning modern prison that is safe for the corrections workers. It would be much cheaper to build another ADX either in Florence or somewhere else. We don't need water to prevent escapes from that level of prison, and no need to destroy a landmark and tourist attraction.

That is one of the hidden benefits of having a camp, almost all the smelly stuff goes straight in the water. The gulls, grackles, and crows appreciate it too.

That said, sportiness and flashiness looks tacky on you bro. It doesn't mesh.

The first thing I thought of was Sir Jackie Stewart sliding out of something like a McLaren P1 LM. That would mesh like two Swiss watch gears.

I assume it was ruled inadmissible pretrial. Seems pretty probative to me if it was right before, during, or immediately after. Maybe it wasn't.

---

I haven't seen any evidence of a motion in limine regarding this subject. I would imagine had it been ruled inadmissible in pretrial motions the trial judge would have taken a different approach had the prosecutor defined a pre-trial motion. The trial judge viewed it as harmless error.

Why would it matter what words were said? That doesn't make any sense.

In the grand scheme, it is a prejudicial vs probative issue. There is a long list of SCOTUS cases (and I assume LA cases) that deal with such issues. In the specific case I doubt it made a difference, but I also guarantee the prosecutor knew the line they were straddling by bringing it in.
