How do you figure she actually incurred $250,000 in costs from a dismissed indictment?

Probably by retaining Kyle Schonekas’s firm among others. Big retainer.

Back Bay is great. I've really enjoyed The Newbury the times I've stayed there. Great location across from the garden.

re: In NYC, whites get $.03 in benefits for every $1 in taxes paid…blacks get 61 times that

Posted by tigercross on 3/25/26 at 4:29 pm to SPEEDY

Title is incorrect. The chart says whites receive $0.0003 per $1 paid in tax while blacks get $0.0177 per $1. 61x multiplier is correct, though.

EDIT: Some context. 130 IQ is traditionally right around 2 standard deviations above average. That result occurs in 5% of the country. 1 in 20 randomly selected Americans are 130+ IQ.

2.5% fall into the 130+ bucket. 95% of the population is within 2 std dev of the mean, but you're forgetting the 2.5% that fall into the left tail.

This doesn’t matter. It matters if he could reasonably believe that his life was in danger. Given the totality of the circumstances (slippery road, car in drive pointed at him, etc.) it is understandable why he might believe his life was in danger.

I'm confused. The over/under for this game is 56.5. You're telling us to take the under, but predicting 60 points. How does that work?

I've been using the Tumi Alpha continental for probably 10 years. I love it. Worth the list price in my opinion, but you can usually find some nice deals on eBay as well.
