The only way this gets blocked is to steer it toward the Ellisons instead. Reasonable people can disagree, but to me, that's even worse.

The classic "five senses" works well enough for the basic understanding of how we interact with the world, but doesn't actually hold up under much scrutiny. You can apparently get up to 12 depending on how you want to define things.

The idea of five classical senses dates back at least to Aristotle, himself a rather classy guy. In De Anima (Of the Soul) he argues that, for every sense, there is a sense organ.

...

Let’s tweak Aristotle’s definition of what a sense is just a bit. Instead of a sense organ, each separate sense really only requires a different kind of sensory receptor. In the skin alone, there are at least four different kinds of sensory receptors: those for touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception (or body awareness).

  1. Usually no notice is required. There can be consequences, but none of them involve jail or anything. Quitting with no notice may get you put on a "never rehire" list at the company. Your reputation among your network may suffer and make future prospects more difficult. If you are receiving any company benefits that require a certain time of employment (education reimbursement, etc), you may owe some cash back for those. It should be detailed in your employee handbook or contract. If there's someone you trust to probe at HR with specific concerns, you can try that, but they are there to protect the company, not you, so tread carefully. Otherwise, find a lawyer

  2. Depends on the state. Some states ban non-compete clauses entirely, some others have an income threshold, and some don't have any specific language either way.

And it was inside a huge (10k+) batch of pictures documenting the entire California coastline. Basically nobody had even seen it at the time she, or at least her lawyer, threw a fit about it.

I do. I've been reading Techdirt for over 25 years, so I'm sure I read the original post where the term was coined at the time it was first published.

More people should read (and follow) rule 6.

US-centric answer: Murder doesn't have any time limitations on being charged.

There are always going to be holes in the law, so it probably wouldn't be difficult to find some example of a horrible crime that finds a loophole in this, but the general idea is that the worst crimes have no statute of limitations.

Misdemeanors are usually fairly short, many felonies are longer, sex crimes are often (but not always) exempt, and murder has no limit in any state.

Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won't let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
