I wouldn't listen to this advice, personally. Driving with an expired license is more black and white than speeding. With speeding could have been other cars around that the radar was picking up, the radar might not have been calibrated recently, the cop might decide it's not worth showing up.

I've pleaded not guilty to several speeding tickets and got some dismissed and some reduced (I lived in a rural area as a college student and they made a lot of money that way)

One time my sister got a ticket and asked me the process to expect when you plead not guilty so I told her - but I didn't know she got the ticket in a school zone. When she got there the cop got up on the stand and ran through his certification to operate the radar and when it was last inspected and they asked her how she could explain that she could possibly be not guilty and she got whatever the big fee was. (Which I assume she would have had to pay anyways but without the embarrassment)

It's not in dispute that your license is expired, and I would think hard to dispute that you got pulled over while driving. Given those two facts I don't see an advantage to pleading not guilty, you might just annoy the judge, which decreases likelihood of lenience.

Like others said. you're not going to jail. You'll be ok. You'll get a fine and maybe points on your license.

I wouldn't say you're housing insecure unless that's true.

That's interesting. If you document more discrepancies please share. I could totally see Hulu or other platforms doing this type of thing to somehow get more favorable metrics - showing more ads maybe?

I have a cousin who is a farmer in the US and also has to have a second job. He probably has millions invested in machinery, but last time I talked to him about it he said for the cost of the equipment to really make sense he needs more land to farm. Right now he has unused capacity.

I believe this is a screenshot from "Smarty-pants" and I can strongly recommend the episode "God's Mistakes: How I Would Make Our Bodies Better"

Yeah that's pretty dystopian. Something worse hasn't been done with it probably just because many bad actors haven't been aware its an option.

When your id says you're 100 and you look 21 it's going to cause issues.

You want to get away from ever needing an ID. The wealth you gain from compounding interest should allow you to hire accounting experts who will handle your transactions and hide your wealth among shell companies. I think once or twice you could go with the "this is my child, me Jr" routine, but eventually you need to have some kind of emissary who conducts business on your behalf while you cycle through fraudulent ids and move around every 20-30 years.

I think I had seen this on lemmy first, that they turned one of the flak towers into a hotel.

Very satisfying

Yeah, state of the art may have changed since then, but since you can't see the bite and a test on a human wouldn't show anything until it's too late, the options were either have a lab test the bat or get precautionary rabies shots.

I'm in sales and have seen the strategy discussed where if you're trying to sell a product to an institution with a formal bidding process to coach your contact to draw up requirements which only your product can meet.

I love primitive technology and watched this before I saw it posted here. That said, seems like he's revisiting projects he's already done. He already made clay roof tiles and an a frame hut. He's made multiple videos about bellows, and about gathering/refining ore pellets. He can do whatever he wants and I'm happy to watch, just wondering if there's a greater plan or he's just messing around.

Horrible. Understandable that a parent may not know the risk involved.

Only reason I know was when I worked at a summer camp they hammered into us that if a bat was found in a cabin we had to catch it for testing, or else everyone staying in that cabin would get rabies shots.

Total bullshit in multiple dimensions and it should never even be considered. That said, as a former bible student turned atheist, if they're going to have bibles in school a good option would be NRSV, or the funny option would be The Cotton Patch bible.

How much money does he have? Confusing how he's getting any women at all

It's a Jesus thing you wouldn't understand.

I used to have a variety of Christian shirts with "cool" phrases on them

No worries, just making a joke and not saying it's a reflection on your character.

When I see "I'm white but not white enough to eat this" I interpret that to be saying some people are unreasonable in their aversion to spice. What did you mean?

Yeah, people should only eat the things I like to eat

I remember seeing some of this stuff when it came out and thinking "why are they doing this?" A bunch of it I never heard of, and a handful I wish had seen success (Firefox OS). Not sure how this counts as a hit piece, it didn't seem mean spirited and definitely didn't seem to be misrepresenting anything.
