Amazing! We had something like that but I think they were just called "candy cigarettes" or something. I think I generally was not allowed them, probably for obvious reasons...

Full comprehension implies - to me at least - that you are not just picking up the "intent of the point" but also subtler cues. No, you don't need to read every single word in order to do that but 1500 words a minute with full comprehension is still horseshit.

Why would it be soldered? It's not like it's in a laptop with space constraints.

He specifically says, "with full comprehension", so, like I said.

You were smoking as a kid? Yikes!

A client's attorney is not there to help with enforcing the law; they are there to know the law and to represent the interests of the client to the court. The court decides what is to happen and whether there is any punishment. If the client is appearing in court because they are alleged to have violated a court order, the client needs to instruct their attorney whether to argue that they did not, in fact violate the court order, or that they did but that they have an excuse which should mitigate punishment, or that the court order is invalid, or whatever.

Without that instruction, the lawyer can't do very much.

The problem is that all social institutions require some level of co-operation from the people subject to their judgements. Sure, if you're a violent criminal the police might arrest you and drag you kicking and screaming from the dock, but it's not practical to do that to an entire government department - or an entire company for example. Once the government decides it's not going to respect the rule of law, they can get away with a lot before any consequences catch up with them, because in the meantime the court system has to continue to presume innocence, to permit the argument of mitigating circumstances, to presume good faith, and so on.

We don't know if she had any information about crimes, or whether she went to the authorities ffs

Sure, but "non violent" is not the same as "peaceful".

I think the rule being followed is "post ragebait to farm engagement"

The colour temperature of an incandescent lamp is, exactly and by definition, its operating temperature.

A 2700K lightbulb will not melt steel. The glass is not that hot (you can tell because it's not glowing itself). In any case, it's really power that matters - a small object at 2700K will not damage steel if it's not being continuously heated; it needs to be heated at a rate which brings the steel above its melting point before the heat can dissipate.

That's the sign of a mature, mentally secure individual
