I'm wondering if the evidence that was not turned over was something that proved it couldn't have been him. If it's something that exonerated him, then I could see him being declared innocent. Usually the ruling is "not guilty" which I would take as "unable to prove it was him," but still leaves room that he could have done it.

To me this sounds like someone intentionally fucked the wrong man, hiding what would prove his innocence just to get the conviction.

A while back I had a cousin living in Oklahoma. He had some troubles and was hanging out with some not great people. An acquaintance's gf/wife ended up dead and the guy pointed his finger at my cousin. He was held in jail charged with murder, but all his hearings kept getting kicked down the road. After a year they released him and told him to GTFO of the state and never return.

Depends on the amount of shit in your pants, lowering your center of gravity.

That's actually a nifty little trick your brain plays on you to help keep you away from danger. Problem is, some people settings are off and that "feature" becomes a bug.

Careful. With those proportions might need a wider base.

Fwiw (I live in Illinois) over the years our system was updated with materials and redundancies to counter loss of service during storms. There's been a number of times over the last few years that a bad storm hits and does damage that previously would have created a loss of power, but you can watch the power flicker for a few seconds while the system tests alternate routes that are able to continue to provide service to the most residents. There was a time that power outages were expected a few times a year during bad storms, but I can't recall the last time we had a weather related outage of more than a few minutes.

Obviously local to the damage there nothing to do but wait for the infrastructure to be repaired, but that happens far faster when there's redundancies supplying the majority and fewer repairs that need to be addressed.

Well, there is a "solution" in the works. It's currently not required for my position and will only initially apply to Medicare (or Medicaid - don't recall which) patients.

The hospital provides field staff with cell phones. There's an app we're just getting training on that will time stamp our visits, travel, and mileage, as well as track GPS for verification of visits. It will also flag and ask for clarification if travel time exceeds expectation.

Currently we self report, so if I stop at McDonald's because I have to pee, it's nobodies business. Many of my coworkers are less than thrilled with the new app (honestly most aren't that fond of tech or changes to begin with) even though management is attempting to reassure that they're really not intending to track us, it's just for patient verification (for the very small percentage of patients it applies to.)

I use it to make documentation easier for work. I have to log visit times, travel time and mileage for each patient I visit. So much easier to pull up the info of my phone after work than to remember to track miles and log time getting in and out of my car.

I wear a Garmin watch that monitors heart rate, stress, etc. That was fun to map out my COVID timeline on.

Bonus points if you do the calculation with consideration that there's at least 20 minutes of commercials in each hour long episode.

Just chew it till you work out the last bits of flavor, then spit it out and start working on the next piece.
