It's much worse than that. You will be on the hook for garnished wages for years to pay off your creditors. And you will have plenty of creditors because the GP's advice says "go lose a civil case". You know what a civil

This is not legal advice, but here's what I would do: 1. Recognize that they have requested exactly four specific actions from you (bullet points, second page) 2. Do not follow the 4th bullet point, affirming in writing any future cond

Sure, food is a way of sharing cultures and connecting to some common history -- I agree with you that these are all means of self-expression and connection -- but I'm not really interested in this mode of expression. And for most othe

I wouldn't count strcmp, etc. It returns < 0 if str1 is shorter and > 0 if str1 is longer. Returning 0 means there is 0 difference. That's not a True/False. "0" is not a "truthy" exit code for a sys
