During June 2006, days before the controversial presidential election of 2006, 84-year-old Echeverría was charged with genocide in connection with the massacre. He was placed under house arrest pending trial. In early July of that year (after the presidential elections), he was cleared of genocide charges, as the judge found that Echeverría could not be put on trial because the statute of limitations had expired.

Of all the crimes, it really feels like genocide shouldn’t have a statute of limitations

Probably more that people drink coffee first thing in the morning and also shit shortly after getting up.

Lentils need carrots like everything else needs onions/salt, it makes a world of difference (but still use onions and salt)

Your point stands, but 2019 was more than five years ago

Even if it weren’t, it’s perfectly fine to only like books that have broad appeal. My comment sounds like it’s judgy, but life is truly too short to read things that don’t appeal to us.

Not posh, you’re just only getting things with broad appeal. It’s like only listening to the top 40 lists. You’re missing a lot, but if all you like is pop, that’s probably exactly what you want.

I used to work in long-tailed litigated liability insurance claims. Think asbestos, lead paint, toxic exposures, etc. Insurance comes into play for defending companies against lawsuits made by people suffering from those exposures. I rationalized it to myself for a year and a half (if we don’t pay for the company’s defense attorneys, we couldn’t pay the claimants their settlements; we’re just following the contract; at this point, the big players are bankrupt, so the claimants are just going after easy targets; etc.), but it makes the world worse and I eventually quit.

I looked at other aspects of the industry, but there really wasn’t a role that I could feel totally comfortable with. At best, I felt like I I worked for the organization which gave earth “adequate notice” for the hyperspace bypass in hitchhikers guide.

I went back to school and now I teach new immigrants the local language. It took a lot of work and I make less money, but holy shit was it worth it.

Sorry, totally unrelated but fun memory: Iconoclast was the first word whose unexpected etymology I (mostly) worked out on my own. I was watching a vh1 documentary on iconoclasts, and I’d just had a biology class where I’d learned about acetoclastic bacteria. I had a eureka moment wherein I leapt to the conclusion that “breaking the mold” was an older saying than I expected. I wasn’t totally right on that, but I was still psyched to have broken it down correctly.

It’s almost certainly possible, but it might void your warranty/be illegal, depending on your jurisdiction (and qualifications- it’s probably not illegal if you’re a licensed mechanic, but might violate your employment contract). Even if it’s not illegal, it might affect your liability insurance coverage.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it, but make sure you know what the potential consequences are.
