Essentially, the Court appoints an executor. Usually, it will choose from one of the heirs named in the will. But in a contentious situation like this one, they can appoint any disinterested 3rd party who meets the legal requirements of being an executor in the state of TX. That’s what...

If you can manage it, a private, in-person conversation- possibly after a session, if need be- is usually best. But sometimes, you don’t get the chance. Situations boil over in seconds. Or problems long hidden erupt publicly. All you can do then is try to keep calm. The worst situation I...

…unless they are also the lead vocalist. See Sting, Geddy Lee, Burke Shelley, Gene Simmons, Mark King, Meshell N’Degeocello, etc.

Was totes gonna post that as a response.

My take: it’s not the worst thing ever. It’s a tool, and yes, it can be misused. There’s an iconic jazz piece called “Take 5”, one of the more important and popular jazz tunes written in 5/4 time. But a couple decades ago, someone covered it in 4/4 time. To me- and to a lot of musicians...

That’s a good way to ensure you don’t have experienced workers around when things inevitably go wrong. Expertise matters. I was handling a small probate case. It was almost simple, but there was a lot of friction between the surviving (adult) children and their stepmother. But there was ALSO...

One of the reasons we have “money” is because it makes commerce easier over distances, especially across borders. It’s also because it’s a “value placeholder” by nature. We can all mostly agree on what the value of a dollar is, so it’s less of an issue than figuring out how many microchips you...

I don’t know that one.

I’m American, too. It won’t. In part because medical AIs still have the same characteristic flaws as nonspecialized others, namely hallucinations. If a human MD misdiagnoses someone, it’s because they missed some piece of the puzzle. They didn’t ask for a particular test; they didn’t notice...

Run him through DLSS 5!

When everyone is being targeted, nobody is collateral damage.🤷🏾

I was at my barber’s today, and while I was waiting my turn AND for half of the time I was in the chair, there was a guy having a phone convo. He was trying to convince the person on the other end of the call that women were just as capable of leadership as men. When he finally hung up, my...

True. But even during the Industrial Revolution, change happened piecemeal and slowly as compared to today’s rate of change. It took from the invention of the car in 1886 to the 1930s for the automobile industry to become a serious threat to the horse-powered mobility businesses. The first...

UBI in all the forms it’s been (successfully) tried is still funded by taxation.

Re: robotic harvesting It’s coming. Most major crops already used highly mechanized harvesting methods. And if they can’t find a way to harvest delicate crops via farming roombas soon, they’ll simply breed varietals that are more resistant to rough handling. …just like most major crops have...

It’s a phrase that has…broad utility.
