  check the email for authenticity

  on Richard Liebowitz Goes Against Client's Interests: Presents Evidence That His Client Did Know About Lawsuits; But Not About Settlements

  As others have noted, there are email headers in the "envelope" which the average person rarely if ever sees these days. Did Liebowitz include those? Do they look legit to someone who knows how to interpret them? Do the Message-Id's jibe with what the sending system has? Is the sending system one the client used? There's no way he could forge all that even semi-convincingly.

  Re: Are we sure he isn't Trump's secret twin?

  on Copyright Troll Richard Liebowitz Benchslapped And Sanctioned AGAIN In A Massive Filing Detailing Pages Upon Pages Of Him Lying Under Oath

  While reading this lovely history I came to the conclusion that Liebowitz HAS to be a pathological liar; I can see no other explanation. And, yes, that did remind me of you-know-who.

  Notice trooper's repeat of the question

  on Woman Complains About Trooper's Behavior, Ends Up Getting A Whole Bunch Of Cops Fired For Timecard Fraud

  The article quotes the driver as responding to the trooper in (presumably fluent) English, and then the trooper repeats the question. It's hard to know what he what he was "thinking" at that point.

  Also notice that his partner, the one actually writing the ticket, is "Eric Chin". I'm going to go out on a limb and assume also Asian-American. Make of that what you will.

  Where was the NRA?

  on Appeals Court Pretty Sure DOJ Use-Of-Force Guidelines Don't Violate Police Officers' 2nd And 4th Amendment Rights
  The fact that the NRA didn't come charging in to support them when a "2nd Amendment" defense was mentioned should have been a clue that they were reeeeeally stretching on that one.

  Re:

  on Zillow Sued By Homeowner Because Its Estimate Is Lower Than The Seller Wants To Sell The House For
  I would assume that the qualification rules for "bedroom" are set at some government level, and not the appraiser being finicky. And "must have window to the outside" would be a common one.
  
  My realtor had a moment of panic when she learned my 3rd "bedroom" was in the basement, until I pointed out that my basement was "walk-out" -- with no steps, even -- in back. The bedroom had windows facing the back yard.

  "Zillow would have to ... infer that it's licensed ..."
  
  I think "imply" is the correct word here?

  This is CHECKED luggage (as Baffled)

  on TSA Decides Sorority Souvenir Book Carried By Dozens Of Travelers Probably A Bomb
  According to the reports, the problem was with books in checked luggage, which usually gets scanned well after you've checked in and handed it over. We're not talking about the usual TSA security checkpoint where you take certain items out of your carryons. That would seem to moot the comments about noticing the sorority Tshirts or skin color, or "remove the book" announcements; unless Houston Hobby is set up differently from practically every other US airport?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: These flailing and misguided email systems (as internet greybeard)

  on Awesome Stuff: More Crowdfunding Attempts At Private And Secure Communications
  You seem to think that avoiding web browsers means "abandon[ing] the internet". This is quite false, which makes me doubt you've "used [the internet] since its first years". Not using a web browser makes using "the web" difficult but not impossible; more importantly, "the web" is not "the internet". People were using the internet -- for email, file transfers, etc -- way before TB-L introduced the technology which led to the web's existence.
