From the descriptions you gave, I did not expect most of those links to end up being "The ACLU harmlessly addresses a trans issue in passing." I think there's an argument to be made for the ACLU becoming increasingly performa

The Pastors I've known in my life have been dual-income households, and Megachurches are infamous for using that set-up. Though I grew up in a small town with a decent mix of residential incomes, so there was no particularly poor churc

This is what I got from reading your comment: Least Expensive Element: Invalidating prior art, counterclaim documents. Actually Cost Money: Invalidating prior art, drafting counterclaim documents.

No it's not. The minute I start doing something, whether I continue to do it or not is a complex decision that comes down to many more factors other than why I started doing it. The most common stated reason amongst my peers for not st

My experience with standardized exit testing in California was just that all the relevant classes would temporarily pause teaching more advanced material to review the more basic material that was on the exams. Perhaps the experience was mo

I've never been wealthy enough to insure my belongings, so my experience with trying to make police reports for theft have not only felt like a waste of time, the officers I've filled with have directly told me I'm wasting my
