    A California sheriff says she will not enforce Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new coronavirus curfew, according to reports. Newsom announced a number of measures on Thursday, including limited stay-at-home orders and overnight curfews for nonessential work between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. every Saturday until Dec. 21. Fresno Sheriff Margaret Mims, however, said she wouldn't be penalizing residents who didn't follow the curfew, FOX 26 reported.

    any wisdom out there on the november election and setting stock stop loss or stop limit orders? i am currently figuring that the worst is if biden wins or the outcome is placed into limbo pending recounts. if this is the case, presumably there will be a dip in stock prices. however, will the dip last very long? trump will still be in office until january 20, 2021, which means that stocks would seem still relatively safe up until january 20, 2021. so, january 19 (eg january 15) or slightly earlier might make a good time to sell stocks manually....

    New research into the minds of crows has revealed a jaw-dropping finding: the canny corvids aren't just clever - they also possess a form of consciousness, able to be consciously aware of the world around them in the present. In other words, they have subjective experiences.

    liberals have sounded the jungle drums: trump will be dragged from the oval office should he refuse to vacate on january 20, 2021. there is not much of a preamble, but presumably, this is only if trump is not elected to a second term. however, what if there is an electoral college or ussc electoral college issue stalemate? we already see that the liberals are willing to sacrifice the constitutional institutions of the electoral college and the ussc upon the altar of social justice (the contemporary equivalent term for political correctness these days). in theory, if the electoral college cannot...

    how quickly can a california company terminate an employee? a friend of mine just got fired a couple of hours ago. the reason given was basically something like talking back to the boss or not following directions. also how can one apply for a new job if one is fired in california? can one just say on resume "laid off"? i am under the impression that california is an at will employment state which means that employers can fire anyone for any reason including the employee's nose is too long, or too short, or whatever. is this generally correct?

    I have a minor construction project on my property. It's about $11k for one part and about $5k for a second part. the job is for a retaining wall. I need it to be reinforced concrete with a brick façade. the concrete guys don't do brick and vice versa. how best to specify the contracts? should I be writing the contracts? when should the second contract be signed relative to the first contract? I am already taking the liberty of placing the two contractors in touch with each other-- at least giving them each the other's contact info. I don't...

    I like to be touched, a lot. I am an affectionate person. However, I like to decide who touches me and when. I did not understand or have the words back then to describe how I felt, but only sensed power moves and body language that I did not like. There was not yet the framework as there is now. I did not like Joe Biden’s hand on me not for the reasons you think, it is because I am the alpha in the room too. Again, I like to be the one who chooses who enters my space and...
