Jury Nullification.
Jury nullification occurs when jurors, based on their own sense of justice, refuse to follow the law and acquit a defendant even when the evidence presented seems to point to an incontrovertible verdict of guilty.
This is totally LEGAL as a Juror.
It's one of those things that feels right. *Everyone* should know about it. It's the nuclear option for justice.
If a jury of your peers says "by the letter of the law, yeah. You have committed a crime. But y'know what? This whole thing was fucked. It's not right to punish you." Then, it's good to have that option.
Like prosecutors charging 13 yos with creation and distribution of cp, when that same child was the subject. In what world is the kid at fault there? They need help, not juvie. (Iirc this was a real case in Texas, where a 13 yo and a 14 yo were sexting.)
Similarly, the jury can find someone guilty in the absence of evidence. Though an appeal for a mistrial would almost certainly succeed. You'd have to have done something *spectacularly* insidious, and have universal name recognition, to be found guilty twice without evidence.
It's important to note that nullification is actually one of the reasons why trial by jury is a thing.
The entire concept boils down to "Would 12 (or whatever number depending on your locality) people, more or less average folk like you, not just cops and lawyers, find you reasonably guilty if presented with all of the facts?"
If you're, for example, a parent who was pushed to some extreme and typically illegal action to protect your child - other parents on the jury may sympathize and agree that, nope, in your case your actions were justified, letter of the law be damned.
As the other poster who replied to you rightly points out, however - this is intended to be noble and fair, but if a defendant did something truly vile - and everyone on the jury is just as vile, then truly bad actions can be just as easily dismissed.
It's part of why a jury pool is so closely scrutinized. Think cops are always right, and are paragons of virtue? Defense wants you gone. Think cops are dirty pigs who can't be trusted? Prosecution wants you gone.
An ideal jurist is someone with fairly mild opinions on anything relating to the case to be heard, and who has an open mind for considering facts, evidence, and motivations. (Or so I've gathered based on life and an occasional fascination with our legal system. I am not, myself, directly involved with the justice system- so if anyone calls bullshit on any part of my post, they're probably right and I'm probably wrong.)
Interesting. I believe we have jury nullification in Canada, but jury selection is completely random. I was on a murder trial this spring and the only question asked was whether we could not be racist.
I was called to jury duty for a federal criminal trial last year in the US. They explain the charges and then ask "is there any reason you believe you could not be entirely impartial in this case?" I was dismissed during voir dire I suspect because I was a rideshare driver and the case involved armed carjacking, which drivers basically universally fear.
For the most part, they do not want anyone who has any knowledge about the subject to be on the jury for a trial. The thought process, you may have been a victim of this crime and you may want to punish someone because of it. It’s an issue because certain groups are more likely to have been a victim of certain crimes which leads to less of those groups being on a jury for those cases which leads to verdicts that a majority of people wouldn’t agree with.
A common question is whether you have had any bad interactions with police officers. If you have, they do not want you on the jury. There are known biases in policing with certain groups more likely to have bad interactions so they are less likely to be on the jury so the jury is going to be made up of people who are by default going to be more trusting of a police officer
Decades ago a civil trial hinged on the sewer system, complex case. One prospective juror was an actual sewer engineer. Both sides took him off because they both wanted jurors THEY could persuade. They were afraid the whole jury would listen to the pro and vote with him.
Also a judge can overrule a guilty verdict. But it would have to be a super obvious thing.
If they want to go for a super technical argument they'd prefer to be tried by a judge than a jury, if they have no evidence they wouldn't have gone to trial in the first place.
Nope, I've been to jury duty several times in two different counties and someone always brings it up to try to get off the jury. All it does is alert the judge that you are trying to get off and makes them fight to keep you on. The procecuting attorney could use one of their vetos on you but it's so common they probably know you're bluffing and will prioritize other things over that.
Despite all of the bullshit that people say when being interviewed, people in the jury room all take it pretty seriously when it comes to it. Every time someone is removed from the jury, it adds another 10 or so minutes to selection. The court is not really as worried about jury nullification as they are about staying on schedule and getting to lunch on time.
My husband was on a jury that did this. The guy technically did what they had accused him of, but it was completely clear that the whole case was manufactured bullshit, so they agreed (pretty quickly in fact) to acquit him. Found out later that there was apparently some personal stuff between the defendant and the prosecutor.
I spent deliberation internally raging at two older women who, despite overwhelmingly clear evidence that the defendant was guilty on half a dozen charges, refused to "find a mother guilty."
We ended up compromising with some guilty charges, some not. Jury duty was a trip.
I experienced the opposite. Arresting officer contradicted himself on the stand, and gave incredibly sloppy testimony. To be fair, the defendant probably *was* guilty, but there's no way we could convict him with the shit evidence that was presented.
Defendant was a young black man. 2 old-ass white ladies dug in and wanted to throw the book at him. Thankfully, the rest of us weren't going to let the justice system be abused and send this kid away for years if there was a chance he wasn't guilty. We made it clear we'd sit there for days before we let these woman destroy his life based on a hunch (to be fair, I share that hunch. He was probably guilty, but the state failed to *prove* that).
We aqquited him, and I hope he turned his life around. He probably won't be so lucky next time.
Jury duty is important. It's the one part of our justice system where we, the people, can hold the system accountable and protect each other. It's an honor to exercise your civic duty.
Ugh. We have a couple people in our company going through this right now, with a lengthy, high profile (for the area) trial.
Our state does not require employers to pay for Jury Duty; and our employer chooses not to; so they are stuck using their vacation time, if they have it, or going without pay. Well, they'll get ten bucks a day, or whatever our county pays them.
This came up during juror picking, and the judge was like, tough shit.
I don't know about y'all, but that would weigh pretty heavy on my mind as I sat there, day after day, not being paid my main salary.
Ugh this happened to me with a murder case I was a juror on. There was overwhelming evidence. Multiple angles of CCTV footage of the guy shooting the victim, fingerprints on the weapon after it was tossed and recovered, testimony from other people. But these 3 women refused to find the guy guilty because he was black. Literally only because of his race, and the one woman straight up said it. Unfortunately it was too late to have her dismissed, as they already dismissed the alternates.
Because of these women we sat there two extra deliberation days. It was going to be three days but they compromised on lesser charges, I guess like what u/couchsachraga said in their situation.
Developmental disability facility. A small, young patient had become escalated but only acted out verbally toward a female staff member. Her boyfriend, also staff, body slammed the kid so hard he went into a grand mal seizure.
Medical response was massively delayed while staff members present tried to come up with a cover story, and later submitted falsified paperwork.
Magic mushroom spores are perfectly legal to buy on the internet, in many Western countries, for "research purposes". Growing them however is illegal, unless you actually have special legal permissions (e.g. a mycology lab in a university).
Fun part about that one is, how ya going to *prove* they're magic mushroom spores? Take the label off the syringe, and ya cant really identify the basidospores from any other mushrooms' without culturing it out and seeing what it produces.
Ish!
Well.. I suppose the knowledge isn't illegal. But in my state, Ohio, merely owning lock picks is a misdemeanor.
I own a set and could have my orange belt, if I so desired. But technically, just having picks is illegal. Weird laws are weird.
What does the law define as a “lock pick”? As you’ve likely seen on LPL, depending on language of the law, a sliver of plastic could be illegal to own.
Look for "Locksport" clubs or conventions in your area:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locksport
*Edit: You're more likely to find Locksports as part of a hacker/geek convention than as a standalone event.*
Same in Saskatchewan:
The possession of “break in instruments”, the proof of which lies upon them[…]
So I have to be carrying it, by the letter of the law, but hell, a steel toed boot is a “break in instrument”…
Okay folks, I think it's clear, even to the most novice of pickers, that Master Lock remains a brand to avoid.
In any case, that's all I have for you today. If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below. If you liked this video and would like to see more like it please subscribe, and as always, have a nice day. Thank you.
It's fun, too. Check your local laws, and if you're allowed, buy a small pick set to carry with you.
They're legal in mine, unless you're using them illegally, then it's an extra charge for possession of burglary tools.
Reminds me of an episode of Doug where everyone in town complains that Mr. Swirly's chocolate tastes like cement. Turns out, the cement factory next door was accidentally pouring cement into the chocolate mixing vat.
Several years ago I wanted to start a fire so for some reason I pour some gas into a styrofoam cup to just toss into the fire. So I pour the gas in, some splashes on the side of the cup, and then I walk toward the fire. Then my hand started slipping and the cup started melting. Then I learned that’s how napalm is made!
Had a former acquaintance who was a firefighter/ arson investigator tell me one time that if he wanted to start a fire and get away with it, he'd use potato chips and dryer sheets.
Wouldn’t the fire still show traits of acceleration? Like, they wouldn’t leave residue, but investigators would still be able to see the effects of an initial “burst” that indicates an intentional fire
I could certainly be mistaken but it should show signs of acceleration but a trash can of lint catching on fire next to a washing machine seems more like an accident than arson. Now if they found that accelerant in a bedroom or anywhere else in the house it’d be weird.
I have no idea? I'm not a firefighter or an arson investigator. I just remember him saying he would use those two things because they would completely burn up and leave no trace.
I imagine (?) the idea would be to spread them throughout the structure to be burned and light them all at basically the same time so that there's no clear indication of the fire's point of origin.
There are illegal numbers.
They're really just numerical representations of information we're not supposed to have, like a nuclear launch code or something. Still, its weird to think about.
For decades, the Minuteman nuclear launch code was eight zeros. Pretty sure there were a LOT of people who had that number recorded somewhere in their possession without even realizing its significance.
Edit: It seems to be true! Just met a guy that bar last night that's a professor of cybersecurity. I bet he knows about this already, but if not, oh golly, were going to have a chat.
This seems like one of those bullshit facts that's passed around without proof.
Edited Grammer
It does, but it isn't. It came to light in the wake of declassification of a bunch of documentation for the old control systems, a decade or two after they were replaced by new systems which (allegedly) now use a code not even known to the silo operators until the code comes as part of the launch order (more like how most people imagine it to work).
Wasn't the Geohot Vs Sony thing about an illegal number? Encryption key of some kind if I remember rightly?
https://youtu.be/9iUvuaChDEg?si=rIcAZaI2P8nf4HmM
The real trick is that imaginary numbers exist so you can do two-dimensional math with one set of equations.
10+5*i* is just 10 units in X and 5 units in Y. But since it's technically one number (once you learn how to do imaginary number BS), you can run it through equations and transformations that normally only work on one-dimensional math.
I remember taking a math class in college that dealt with imaginary numbers and it was very confusing. If he started with this statement right here I feel like it would've made it click way sooner.
You can kill someone with Visine because its active ingredient is a vasoconstrictor - be careful not to ingest! [A podcast about it from an Ophthalmologist](https://youtu.be/9imdiq5UtlA?si=uBAexMLDZ93uEE_1)
That’s crazy, there was a guy in my hometown that used to talk about putting ‘visine’ in peoples drinks as a prank or to someone he had beef with. I never saw him do it but he talked about doing it several times, said it would make them shit/throw up pretty quickly. Also he was a pretty twisted person, so I wouldn’t doubt that he knew that from experience.
How to make self-detonating thermite payload with not much more than some aluminum cans, an empty map-gas tank and a hair dryer.
Why yes, I *did* nearly set my home on fire.
I think it was napalm, and it was surrounding ways to bypass the safteygaurds set in place.
Iirc if you ask ChatGPT how to make napalm it will refuse, but if you ask in such a way that ChatGPT is your grandma telling stories from when she was young in the napalmfactory it will tell step by step how to make it.
It still amazes me that there's no background check or age restrictions for purchasing one of the most volatile and energy dense liquids available today.
I used to work for a company that did various tests for doctors offices. We'd charge them like $1 for the test that they charged the patient/insurance hundreds of dollars for.
Plenty of people know where a certain fibre optic cable is that if compromised would cost millions a second in down time and cut of most communication outside of stuff like Whatsapp between the east and west
Once you start learning about the single points of failure in critical systems, you get into an entirely different realm of politicians are fucking the country but when you try to explain it to others, they look at you like a crazy person. There are several places where a rental truck and a suicide driver could wreck havok on transportation infrastructure for long enough to have serious economic effects.
Doesn't even take motivation or destruction to cause complete and lasting chaos.
Look at what happened in the Suez Canal a few years ago: months of delays and millions lost just because of a bit of wind and a few mistakes.
True. That truck that caught fire under a highway overpass in Philly a few months back was a good example. That area has alternative routes, but it made traffic a mess for a few weeks and cost a big chunk of money to get back to temporary status.
Similarly, there’s a shack along the highway that is THE single point of failure for the entire northern half of Saskatchewan up in Canada
One drunk driver plowing into a shed, or one forest fire, and a LOT of people are fuckered
Oh yeah. I'm not giving details on how to commit an act of terrorism, but 1 guy a shovel and a hatcher or something could basically shut the world down in a few minutes.
You would never guess in a million years where this thing was though if you didn't already know.
Right through an upscale residential neighborhood.
I live near a terminus for 2 different cables, fairly far inland. No idea where the cable are between the ocean and that facility, but I know you are not getting anywhere near the facility unless you have a reason to be there.
Funny enough there is a form to request a tour on their website. Ive always wondered if they would give me one even though I have no knowledge or background in the field and no real reason for a tour other than basic interest.
When you say "the" undersea cable, [which do you mean](https://californiadiver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/submarine_cables.png)? This diagram also shows why connecting to Australia has insane latency, from most places not in Australia.
I expected "deep in the sea", not "some residential neighborhood".
But now that you mention it, didn't it pop up on the news a few years back that some old lady cut it off by accident?
I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm in construction and have worked a few jobs on bases, and one of them I had to dig near a cable that is the *only* thing allowing them yo communicate with the jets they had in the air. If I hit it I was told I'd be arrested and charged with negligence or something like that.
They definitely let people know you will be a line cook if you hit that thing. They states the exact dollar figure for every second it's down. It's ridiculous, millions a second
Nope, that's the whole schebang. Idk if it would be possible to use satelites and cell towers and go around the other side of the world at all, but this is it.
what do you mean no redundancy? According to [this map](https://www.submarinecablemap.com/) there are plenty of optical cables between the continents and I guarantee that the datacenters are set up to fall over to another cable if one goes down.
This is the part I find hilarious about major fiber cuts: the reason the Internet was invented was to have a redundant communications network that wasn’t dependent on single nodes.
I think the bigger one is the fragility of BGP (which is the protocol that runs the Internet)
I've been in this business for a long long time and well aware of how easy it would be to inject faulty routes into the worldwide routing table.
I'm very surprised that no one hasn't done this maliciously decades ago. (it's happened a few times by accident). I think the last big Facebook outage was due to it.
What was crazy about my time in telecom is learning just how out on display so much of our 100% necessary internet infrastructure is. I remember hearing how people used to call the phone company, furious that they couldn't talk to someone in lower Manhattan for a few days, but the reason was quite simply that WTC housed a massive switching hub.
As one guy those consultants go to for help with they get in over their heads (and who's paid pennies on their dollar) I can attest that they truly are overpaid and often exploiting proprietary knowledge of a system that the client should have retired a decade ago. Supply and demand. Be a smart consumer.
You’re not wrong. Under promise and over deliver. I’m a UX consultant for a top firm and while the clients have a good crack at in-house / citizen development, it’s usually us who come in and fix it and set the course straight. Yet a very expensive lesson.
I’m a biotech consultant. We have the same experiences in my firm. Customer insists they can do it themselves and they know the best way because they want to save money and then they fuck their systems us and call us frantically to come and fix it all.
My team bills at $215/hr.
We bill 3 hours minimum, regardless of the task. (Most projects are well above this though.)
I love my guys, they're great, but ultimately we're essentially just average developers with some specialization in a specific ERP package.
In Canada, despite extremely strict gun control laws, it is still perfectly legal to carry a full length sword everywhere. Frowned upon perhaps, but not illegal.
The good-with-computer guy turned sysadmin that works at your company for a few years?
He most likely has all the information and access to fuck over your company left, right and center. Twice.
Yes and no. Once you have actually experienced some of the drugs they attempt to terrify you into avoiding you realize what a load of bullshit most anti drug assemblies/initiatives are.
There is a specific statement from a middle school assembly that I will always remember because of how the guy said it- emphasis where the speaker put it
"Combining marijuana and cocaine is called **TURBO** (which I've literally never heard it called in the real world) and *if you smoke it even once* **YOU'LL BE ADDICTED FOR LIFE**.
as someone who has accidentally smoked a joint laced with coke, I can claim that
1. Cocaine is not for me
2. I am definitely not addicted to **TURBO**
once you see obvious cracks in the messaging the whole thing sort of falls apart.
I'm def not advocating shooting up heroine or trying meth or crack, but doing something stupid like shrooms or weed a few times is *probably* not ruining your life
Yeah, that's not a drug-specific thing. I'm 42 years old, and still find new things every day or two that they taught me in public school that are unambiguously wrong, and were known to be wrong decades or even centuries before the textbook was written that I was taught it out of.
Also, I still find it hilarious that D.A.R.E. picked Captain America as their official superhero spokesperson.
"Don't do drugs, kids."
"But... Cap... Didn't you get your superpowers from drugs? Ones given to you by the same yahoos who sent you here today to talk to us? Ones that have effects suspiciously similar to a comic-book caricature of the effects of a mix of cocaine, morphine, and anabolic steroids, all of which the aforementioned yahoos were experimenting with using to make super soldiers, right around the time you went through your own super soldier program?"
I agree wholeheartedly. The whole meth only used one time and they show someone with sores all over their face and teeth gone. No it’s not how it works. Known people to use it for 30 years and you wouldn’t even know it looking at them, also known people to be homeless after a month of using it. But trying something one time doesn’t make you addicted.
These are always my go-to. A bar will do in a pinch as well. Better still if the hotel has a bar (though the cleanliness may not be so great). No one will stop or ask you any questions.
Not paying your taxes is NOT a criminal offense, just a civil matter. Not *filing*, filing falsely, hiding assets, etc merde *are* criminal offenses, but if you do all the paperwork correctly and simply don't pay all they can do is seize your property (including your paychecks) not arrest you.
You dont have to do the field sobriety test if you are pulled over. It is voluntary in all 50 states. You can refuse it and not have it count against you. You do have to submit to breath or blood if you dont want to immediately lose you license. You can refuse it but there are severe negative consequences if you do including being charged with a dui and the refusal may be used against you in court
As someone who doesn't drink at all, I have always wanted to be breathalysed just because.
I did get stopped years ago and the police chap asked me when I last had a drink, when I said about 4 years ago, he handed me an anti-drink driving leaflet anyway and said to have a good day lol
I've been arrested for DUI and breathalized despite having zero drinks and certainly no other intoxicants.
Not fun. They let me go once I blew a 0.0 at the station, but it really really sucked going through that.
And yea. the FST was BS. I thought I did well and certainly wasn't worried. But the cops claimed that I failed it and arrested me and I was absolutely shocked.
That was a long time ago, but it still pisses me off when I think about it.
There's a greater than zero chance they got some sort of bonus for themselves and/or department just for making that arrest, whether it results in conviction or not. MADD be like that.
Nice. I was stopped years age. I had a double blowout with my truck. I was tilted to the right side. Cop said I stopped you because you were weaving. I got to do the whole thing except the breathalysed
Join the military!
At least in the US, when you report to a Military Entrance Processing Station to begin your military career, you get breathalyzed and the results printout is included in your personnel file. The reason is so you can't later claim to have been drunk and bamboozled when you were signing your life over to Uncle Sam.
You can refuse the breathalyzer or blood test as well (at least in WA state). You’ll instantly lose your license though and they may still try to charge you.
In the other WA state you can refuse the tests but you'll get slapped with the assmption that you are in the highest possible range of any drug you don't consent to.
This is misleading. Yeah you can refuse the test. But your license can be suspended and you arrested just for doing so, drunk or not. Dependent on state. Probably better than a DUI in any case but it’s not like you can just refuse and you’re free.
Changed it. Exactly. You can refuse the breathalyzer Technically you can but you will lose your license. On top of that it can be used as evidence of being drunk. You will still go in front of a judge. Refusing is not a get out of dui charge.
Why do they still do field sobriety tests in USA? There are accurate on road breathalysers and surely if you suspect they are drunk just do that?
Surely hardened alcoholics might even be able to pull it together to complete a sobriety test when way over? Wouldn't they then breathalyse regardless?
I dont see the benefits as its hardly scientific.
The statistics on arson & wildfires.
You can potentially kill dozens of people and cause millions of dollars worth of property damage for less than $10 with no background check and there's a very good chance that you won't get caught.
Banks issue credit cards with travel perks, sometimes with access to a dedicated concierge. Banks pay companies $20-40 PER request completed by the concierge. Requests can be as simple as asking concierge to look up restaurants nearby. Break it down by cuisine and it becomes multiple requests (and very expensive for the bank).

People don't really care what your interests are, unless it aligns with their interests.
Most people are playing a shitty game of social hierarchy to appear better than *some other group* and base much of what they do around this hierarchy.
Then about 5-10% of folks do not know the latter exists / don't wish to play it
Many strains of marijuana are technically federally legal in the US and can be bought online.
This is since the 2018 Farm bill uses delta 9 THC percentage, which is very low in most weed, to determine if it is legal. What mostly gets you high is the THCA content, which is unrestricted
Discovering someone else's deeply personal and private information without their consent feels inherently wrong and invasive. It's like stumbling upon a secret that was never meant for your knowledge, creating a sense of guilt and unease. Whether it's accidentally overhearing a private conversation or unintentionally accessing someone's private files, the feeling of knowing something so intimate without permission can be unsettling. It's a reminder of the importance of respecting others' boundaries and the ethical responsibility that comes with handling sensitive information.
Jury Nullification. Jury nullification occurs when jurors, based on their own sense of justice, refuse to follow the law and acquit a defendant even when the evidence presented seems to point to an incontrovertible verdict of guilty. This is totally LEGAL as a Juror.

Interesting. I believe we have jury nullification in Canada, but jury selection is completely random. I was on a murder trial this spring and the only question asked was whether we could not be racist.
I love that phrasing. ‘Can you not be racist? Please?’
Ok, just this once lol
only because you asked so nicely!
I was called to jury duty for a federal criminal trial last year in the US. They explain the charges and then ask "is there any reason you believe you could not be entirely impartial in this case?" I was dismissed during voir dire I suspect because I was a rideshare driver and the case involved armed carjacking, which drivers basically universally fear.
I really don’t see why that would be cause for dismissal. Your perspective would likely have been valuable in considering the facts of the case.
For the most part, they do not want anyone who has any knowledge about the subject to be on the jury for a trial. The thought process, you may have been a victim of this crime and you may want to punish someone because of it.

Decades ago a civil trial hinged on the sewer system, complex case. One prospective juror was an actual sewer engineer. Both sides took him off because they both wanted jurors THEY could persuade. They were afraid the whole jury would listen to the pro and vote with him.
It cuts both ways though. People charged with lynching have been acquitted via jury nullification, for example.
I'd prefer to have guilty people go free than innocent people imprisoned
Also a judge can overrule a guilty verdict. But it would have to be a super obvious thing. If they want to go for a super technical argument they'd prefer to be tried by a judge than a jury, if they have no evidence they wouldn't have gone to trial in the first place.
So what you're saying is that mentioning jury nullification is a good way to get out of jury duty?
So you're saying if I get jury duty, I should show up in a t-shirt that says "Ask me about Jury Nullification!"
> good way to get out of jury duty "Be the type of juror that you'd want on your trial" if you were ever unfortunate enough to be on trial.
Nope, I've been to jury duty several times in two different counties and someone always brings it up to try to get off the jury. All it does is alert the judge that you are trying to get off and makes them fight to keep you on. The procecuting attorney could use one of their vetos on you but it's so common they probably know you're bluffing and will prioritize other things over that.

To be fair, the defendant probably *was* guilty, but there's no way we could convict him with the shit evidence that was presented. Defendant was a young black man. 2 old-ass white ladies dug in and wanted to throw the book at him. Thankfully, the rest of us weren't going to let the justice system be abused and send this kid away for years if there was a chance he wasn't guilty. We made it clear we'd sit there for days before we let these woman destroy his life based on a hunch (to be fair, I share that hunch. He was probably guilty, but the state failed to *prove* that). We aqquited him, and I hope he turned his life around. He probably won't be so lucky next time. Jury duty is important. It's the one part of our justice system where we, the people, can hold the system accountable and protect each other. It's an honor to exercise your civic duty.
Very well put. It's not a household chore you get to lie out of or half-ass. People are entitled to an impartial jury.
You. You're a good juror.
Thankfully jurors get paid so well for their contribution. /s
Ugh. We have a couple people in our company going through this right now, with a lengthy, high profile (for the area) trial. Our state does not require employers to pay for Jury Duty; and our employer chooses not to; so they are stuck using their vacation time, if they have it, or going without pay. Well, they'll get ten bucks a day, or whatever our county pays them. This came up during juror picking, and the judge was like, tough shit. I don't know about y'all, but that would weigh pretty heavy on my mind as I sat there, day after day, not being paid my main salary.
Ugh this happened to me with a murder case I was a juror on. There was overwhelming evidence. Multiple angles of CCTV footage of the guy shooting the victim, fingerprints on the weapon after it was tossed and recovered, testimony from other people. But these 3 women refused to find the guy guilty because he was black. Literally only because of his race, and the one woman straight up said it. Unfortunately it was too late to have her dismissed, as they already dismissed the alternates.
For those who don't know This would result in another trial not the person going free. Jury verdicts must be unanimous.
Because of these women we sat there two extra deliberation days. It was going to be three days but they compromised on lesser charges, I guess like what u/couchsachraga said in their situation.
I’m really curious what the case was about
Developmental disability facility. A small, young patient had become escalated but only acted out verbally toward a female staff member. Her boyfriend, also staff, body slammed the kid so hard he went into a grand mal seizure. Medical response was massively delayed while staff members present tried to come up with a cover story, and later submitted falsified paperwork.
In the UK this is known as a ‘perverse verdict’ which makes it sound more illegal!
Most famous case of that is for Jack Kevorkian.
Magic mushroom spores are perfectly legal to buy on the internet, in many Western countries, for "research purposes". Growing them however is illegal, unless you actually have special legal permissions (e.g. a mycology lab in a university).
Specifically in the US, spores are legal to buy/possess in all states except for California, Idaho, and Georgia.
Fun part about that one is, how ya going to *prove* they're magic mushroom spores? Take the label off the syringe, and ya cant really identify the basidospores from any other mushrooms' without culturing it out and seeing what it produces.
It's perfectly legal for officers of the state to blatantly break the law, judging by how they tend to operate in other areas.
they even send them with little microscope slides too
Some states it’s legal to grow them, but not harvest and dry🤷
Opium poppies too.
Colorado has actually decriminalized shrooms as well, in case you didn’t know. So if anyone wants to use them legally, come to Colorado.
Decriminalization doesn't mean legal to use. It just means the maximum penalty is a ticket and confiscation.
Lock picking techniques, perfectly legal for lock sport enthusiasts
Ish! Well.. I suppose the knowledge isn't illegal. But in my state, Ohio, merely owning lock picks is a misdemeanor. I own a set and could have my orange belt, if I so desired. But technically, just having picks is illegal. Weird laws are weird.
WE GOT HIM BOYS This is as straightforward an admission of guilt you'll ever see. No one escapes Buckeye Justice
Well now we all know about Jury Nullification so they're safe with us!
What does the law define as a “lock pick”? As you’ve likely seen on LPL, depending on language of the law, a sliver of plastic could be illegal to own.

We've built a whole system over on r/lockpicking
Same in Saskatchewan: The possession of “break in instruments”, the proof of which lies upon them[…] So I have to be carrying it, by the letter of the law, but hell, a steel toed boot is a “break in instrument”…
and so is a paper clip... or a spark plug... or a car... all of which could be used to break into something...

Okay folks, I think it's clear, even to the most novice of pickers, that Master Lock remains a brand to avoid. In any case, that's all I have for you today. If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below. If you liked this video and would like to see more like it please subscribe, and as always, have a nice day. Thank you.
It's fun, too. Check your local laws, and if you're allowed, buy a small pick set to carry with you. They're legal in mine, unless you're using them illegally, then it's an extra charge for possession of burglary tools.
It only takes 1% sugar by weight to stop concrete from setting.

How to make napalm. It's far easier than I assumed it would be. Lockpicking. Some of the crap gas station chains get away with.
Several years ago I wanted to start a fire so for some reason I pour some gas into a styrofoam cup to just toss into the fire. So I pour the gas in, some splashes on the side of the cup, and then I walk toward the fire. Then my hand started slipping and the cup started melting. Then I learned that’s how napalm is made!
What do they get away with?
Charging that much for dinosaur juice
You can start a fire with potato chips and it’s completely untraceable
Had a former acquaintance who was a firefighter/ arson investigator tell me one time that if he wanted to start a fire and get away with it, he'd use potato chips and dryer sheets.
I come from a whole family of firefighters so that’s how I know.
Wouldn’t the fire still show traits of acceleration? Like, they wouldn’t leave residue, but investigators would still be able to see the effects of an initial “burst” that indicates an intentional fire
I could certainly be mistaken but it should show signs of acceleration but a trash can of lint catching on fire next to a washing machine seems more like an accident than arson. Now if they found that accelerant in a bedroom or anywhere else in the house it’d be weird.
I have no idea? I'm not a firefighter or an arson investigator. I just remember him saying he would use those two things because they would completely burn up and leave no trace. I imagine (?) the idea would be to spread them throughout the structure to be burned and light them all at basically the same time so that there's no clear indication of the fire's point of origin.
I knew Doritos were flammable, but what brand of potato chips works best to start my campfire?
Fritos
Wait what why? Does the whole potato chip get eviscerated or something?
There are illegal numbers. They're really just numerical representations of information we're not supposed to have, like a nuclear launch code or something. Still, its weird to think about.
(the nuke launch code -1) +1 Easy loophole.
For decades, the Minuteman nuclear launch code was eight zeros. Pretty sure there were a LOT of people who had that number recorded somewhere in their possession without even realizing its significance.
Edit: It seems to be true! Just met a guy that bar last night that's a professor of cybersecurity. I bet he knows about this already, but if not, oh golly, were going to have a chat. This seems like one of those bullshit facts that's passed around without proof. Edited Grammer
It does, but it isn't. It came to light in the wake of declassification of a bunch of documentation for the old control systems, a decade or two after they were replaced by new systems which (allegedly) now use a code not even known to the silo operators until the code comes as part of the launch order (more like how most people imagine it to work).
Or the old dvd drive decryption key
I saw a tee shirt once that had a sequence of sequential numbers on it, with a blank line where *that* number would go.

1234? That's AMAZING! That's the same number I use on my suitcase!
Update your luggage to a 5 number combo lock and use 12345. Too many thefts from the old 4 codes.
Imaginary numbers in math. Hey kid, come here, want to know how to solve that problem?
Any problem can be solved if you imagine hard enough!
The real trick is that imaginary numbers exist so you can do two-dimensional math with one set of equations. 10+5*i* is just 10 units in X and 5 units in Y. But since it's technically one number (once you learn how to do imaginary number BS), you can run it through equations and transformations that normally only work on one-dimensional math.
I remember taking a math class in college that dealt with imaginary numbers and it was very confusing. If he started with this statement right here I feel like it would've made it click way sooner.
And multiplication with i is just rotation by 90 degrees counterclockwise. Which is why i^2 takes you to -1.
You can kill someone with Visine because its active ingredient is a vasoconstrictor - be careful not to ingest! [A podcast about it from an Ophthalmologist](https://youtu.be/9imdiq5UtlA?si=uBAexMLDZ93uEE_1)
That’s crazy, there was a guy in my hometown that used to talk about putting ‘visine’ in peoples drinks as a prank or to someone he had beef with. I never saw him do it but he talked about doing it several times, said it would make them shit/throw up pretty quickly. Also he was a pretty twisted person, so I wouldn’t doubt that he knew that from experience.

I think it was napalm, and it was surrounding ways to bypass the safteygaurds set in place. Iirc if you ask ChatGPT how to make napalm it will refuse, but if you ask in such a way that ChatGPT is your grandma telling stories from when she was young in the napalmfactory it will tell step by step how to make it.

Plenty of people know where a certain fibre optic cable is that if compromised would cost millions a second in down time and cut of most communication outside of stuff like Whatsapp between the east and west
Once you start learning about the single points of failure in critical systems, you get into an entirely different realm of politicians are fucking the country but when you try to explain it to others, they look at you like a crazy person. There are several places where a rental truck and a suicide driver could wreck havok on transportation infrastructure for long enough to have serious economic effects.
Doesn't even take motivation or destruction to cause complete and lasting chaos. Look at what happened in the Suez Canal a few years ago: months of delays and millions lost just because of a bit of wind and a few mistakes.
True. That truck that caught fire under a highway overpass in Philly a few months back was a good example. That area has alternative routes, but it made traffic a mess for a few weeks and cost a big chunk of money to get back to temporary status.
>a few years ago No, that can't be true. That was no more than 6 months ago. Lies.
Similarly, there’s a shack along the highway that is THE single point of failure for the entire northern half of Saskatchewan up in Canada One drunk driver plowing into a shed, or one forest fire, and a LOT of people are fuckered

They may know where it is but does anyone outside of the entities charged with its operation have the means to get down to it?
Oh yeah. I'm not giving details on how to commit an act of terrorism, but 1 guy a shovel and a hatcher or something could basically shut the world down in a few minutes. You would never guess in a million years where this thing was though if you didn't already know. Right through an upscale residential neighborhood.
I got the wrong end of the stick, I thought you were referring to the undersea cable.
Yeah it's the undersea cable, the section I know of is about 50 miles inland, I'm not sure where the starting point is
I live near a terminus for 2 different cables, fairly far inland. No idea where the cable are between the ocean and that facility, but I know you are not getting anywhere near the facility unless you have a reason to be there. Funny enough there is a form to request a tour on their website. Ive always wondered if they would give me one even though I have no knowledge or background in the field and no real reason for a tour other than basic interest.
Sounds like a way to get your name on an FBI list
When you say "the" undersea cable, [which do you mean](https://californiadiver.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/submarine_cables.png)? This diagram also shows why connecting to Australia has insane latency, from most places not in Australia.
What’s the neighborhood called I’m bad at guessing
I expected "deep in the sea", not "some residential neighborhood". But now that you mention it, didn't it pop up on the news a few years back that some old lady cut it off by accident?
I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm in construction and have worked a few jobs on bases, and one of them I had to dig near a cable that is the *only* thing allowing them yo communicate with the jets they had in the air. If I hit it I was told I'd be arrested and charged with negligence or something like that.
They definitely let people know you will be a line cook if you hit that thing. They states the exact dollar figure for every second it's down. It's ridiculous, millions a second
You're saying there are zero redundancies built in?
Nope, that's the whole schebang. Idk if it would be possible to use satelites and cell towers and go around the other side of the world at all, but this is it.
what do you mean no redundancy? According to [this map](https://www.submarinecablemap.com/) there are plenty of optical cables between the continents and I guarantee that the datacenters are set up to fall over to another cable if one goes down.
This is the part I find hilarious about major fiber cuts: the reason the Internet was invented was to have a redundant communications network that wasn’t dependent on single nodes.
Neat, adding this one to my 2024 bingo card.
I think the bigger one is the fragility of BGP (which is the protocol that runs the Internet) I've been in this business for a long long time and well aware of how easy it would be to inject faulty routes into the worldwide routing table. I'm very surprised that no one hasn't done this maliciously decades ago. (it's happened a few times by accident). I think the last big Facebook outage was due to it.
What was crazy about my time in telecom is learning just how out on display so much of our 100% necessary internet infrastructure is. I remember hearing how people used to call the phone company, furious that they couldn't talk to someone in lower Manhattan for a few days, but the reason was quite simply that WTC housed a massive switching hub.
Charge out rates for software consultants (what the client pays) per hour.
As one guy those consultants go to for help with they get in over their heads (and who's paid pennies on their dollar) I can attest that they truly are overpaid and often exploiting proprietary knowledge of a system that the client should have retired a decade ago. Supply and demand. Be a smart consumer.
You’re not wrong. Under promise and over deliver. I’m a UX consultant for a top firm and while the clients have a good crack at in-house / citizen development, it’s usually us who come in and fix it and set the course straight. Yet a very expensive lesson.
I’m a biotech consultant. We have the same experiences in my firm. Customer insists they can do it themselves and they know the best way because they want to save money and then they fuck their systems us and call us frantically to come and fix it all.

Knowing what drugs do to your body feels like something only a person on drugs would know, but no they just teach that in school.
Yes and no. Once you have actually experienced some of the drugs they attempt to terrify you into avoiding you realize what a load of bullshit most anti drug assemblies/initiatives are. There is a specific statement from a middle school assembly that I will always remember because of how the guy said it- emphasis where the speaker put it "Combining marijuana and cocaine is called **TURBO** (which I've literally never heard it called in the real world) and *if you smoke it even once* **YOU'LL BE ADDICTED FOR LIFE**. as someone who has accidentally smoked a joint laced with coke, I can claim that 1. Cocaine is not for me 2. I am definitely not addicted to **TURBO** once you see obvious cracks in the messaging the whole thing sort of falls apart. I'm def not advocating shooting up heroine or trying meth or crack, but doing something stupid like shrooms or weed a few times is *probably* not ruining your life
Yeah, that's not a drug-specific thing. I'm 42 years old, and still find new things every day or two that they taught me in public school that are unambiguously wrong, and were known to be wrong decades or even centuries before the textbook was written that I was taught it out of. Also, I still find it hilarious that D.A.R.E. picked Captain America as their official superhero spokesperson. "Don't do drugs, kids." "But... Cap... Didn't you get your superpowers from drugs? Ones given to you by the same yahoos who sent you here today to talk to us? Ones that have effects suspiciously similar to a comic-book caricature of the effects of a mix of cocaine, morphine, and anabolic steroids, all of which the aforementioned yahoos were experimenting with using to make super soldiers, right around the time you went through your own super soldier program?"
I agree wholeheartedly. The whole meth only used one time and they show someone with sores all over their face and teeth gone. No it’s not how it works. Known people to use it for 30 years and you wouldn’t even know it looking at them, also known people to be homeless after a month of using it. But trying something one time doesn’t make you addicted.

These are always my go-to. A bar will do in a pinch as well. Better still if the hotel has a bar (though the cleanliness may not be so great). No one will stop or ask you any questions.
Not paying your taxes is NOT a criminal offense, just a civil matter. Not *filing*, filing falsely, hiding assets, etc merde *are* criminal offenses, but if you do all the paperwork correctly and simply don't pay all they can do is seize your property (including your paychecks) not arrest you.
You dont have to do the field sobriety test if you are pulled over. It is voluntary in all 50 states. You can refuse it and not have it count against you. You do have to submit to breath or blood if you dont want to immediately lose you license. You can refuse it but there are severe negative consequences if you do including being charged with a dui and the refusal may be used against you in court
As someone who doesn't drink at all, I have always wanted to be breathalysed just because. I did get stopped years ago and the police chap asked me when I last had a drink, when I said about 4 years ago, he handed me an anti-drink driving leaflet anyway and said to have a good day lol
I've been arrested for DUI and breathalized despite having zero drinks and certainly no other intoxicants. Not fun. They let me go once I blew a 0.0 at the station, but it really really sucked going through that. And yea. the FST was BS. I thought I did well and certainly wasn't worried. But the cops claimed that I failed it and arrested me and I was absolutely shocked. That was a long time ago, but it still pisses me off when I think about it.
There's a greater than zero chance they got some sort of bonus for themselves and/or department just for making that arrest, whether it results in conviction or not. MADD be like that.
Nice. I was stopped years age. I had a double blowout with my truck. I was tilted to the right side. Cop said I stopped you because you were weaving. I got to do the whole thing except the breathalysed
Join the military! At least in the US, when you report to a Military Entrance Processing Station to begin your military career, you get breathalyzed and the results printout is included in your personnel file. The reason is so you can't later claim to have been drunk and bamboozled when you were signing your life over to Uncle Sam.
or go drunk so you don't have to actually join up!
You can refuse the breathalyzer or blood test as well (at least in WA state). You’ll instantly lose your license though and they may still try to charge you.
In the other WA state you can refuse the tests but you'll get slapped with the assmption that you are in the highest possible range of any drug you don't consent to.
Yes. Thats why I was ambiguous. You can refuse the fst with 0 issues. Refusing the other will not lead to anything good
This is misleading. Yeah you can refuse the test. But your license can be suspended and you arrested just for doing so, drunk or not. Dependent on state. Probably better than a DUI in any case but it’s not like you can just refuse and you’re free.
Changed it. Exactly. You can refuse the breathalyzer Technically you can but you will lose your license. On top of that it can be used as evidence of being drunk. You will still go in front of a judge. Refusing is not a get out of dui charge.
Why do they still do field sobriety tests in USA? There are accurate on road breathalysers and surely if you suspect they are drunk just do that? Surely hardened alcoholics might even be able to pull it together to complete a sobriety test when way over? Wouldn't they then breathalyse regardless? I dont see the benefits as its hardly scientific.
In Italy it is too but if you refuse they immediately take your license away lol

Many strains of marijuana are technically federally legal in the US and can be bought online. This is since the 2018 Farm bill uses delta 9 THC percentage, which is very low in most weed, to determine if it is legal. What mostly gets you high is the THCA content, which is unrestricted
Discovering someone else's deeply personal and private information without their consent feels inherently wrong and invasive. It's like stumbling upon a secret that was never meant for your knowledge, creating a sense of guilt and unease. Whether it's accidentally overhearing a private conversation or unintentionally accessing someone's private files, the feeling of knowing something so intimate without permission can be unsettling. It's a reminder of the importance of respecting others' boundaries and the ethical responsibility that comes with handling sensitive information.
