Confirmed with Link: Carter Hart Officially Charged With One Count Of Sexual Assault (Per His Lawyers); Non-roster, salary cap info in OP

[njdevil26]

Devils fan coming in peace and mutual embarrassment. McLeod and Foote have been removed from the roster on the Devils website and app. Hart still on Flyers roster. I don't know if that means anything about anything.

Also the Stadium Series jerseys were supposed to be released at 12 and I would imagine the Flyers and Devils are scrambling because Hart and McLeod were probably modeling them.

Unless of course it's a really complex suit where you'd need expensive experts, months of discovery, etc. where the lawyers need multiple plaintiffs to justify the costs of bringing a suit to court.

People forget tort lawyers bear all the risk, so they won't take cases where there isn't a good probability they'll recover enough money to cover their costs (not just lawyers, paralegals, consultants, etc.) and make enough to justify all the time they have to put into the case. Since they'll lose some cases, they have to win big when they win to stay in business.

From a guy who does this for a living, I can tell you that is accurate in terms of how the billing and risk work. If you are injured in an accident, crash, fall, defective product, whatever, it literally should cost you $0 to pursue that case other than paying co-pays and deductibles etc. for your medical treatment, which you presumably would be getting regardless of whether or not you file a lawsuit. In any lawsuit for an injury, the attorney fronts ALL the costs and in any lawsuit for an injury those costs are going to be $5k+ if you can't settle it pre-suit, which is usually case, and $10k+ if you're going to trial (way more depending on the type of case it is...simple car accident your only expert is the doctor, complicated products case you may have 3-4 experts plus the doctor which will drastically increase costs, especially if you have try the case).

But any good PI lawyer will be able to tell from the get-go if a case is worth taking or not and it largely depends on what type of insurance is on the other side of the case and the potential client's medical history both as it relates to the current injuries and prior injuries. A 90 year old with 3 back surgeries isn't going to be as appealing of a case as a 20 year old who has never suffered an injury.

People love to get mad at lawyers until you need one. I can't tell you how many times I've met with a client who said "I never thought I would hire a lawyer but..." because typically the insurance company does their best to absolutely screw someone over and basically forces them to hire me. If insurance companies actually did their jobs, I would be out of a job! haha.

I'm glad you posted here, njd. No embarrassment, just yet another example to not idolize human beings, as we fans are too quick to do.

I think it pretty clearly did. Didn’t he lose a bunch of weight this year? Then there has been all of the mental health stuff… stress will do that to you. It’s clearly been eating away at him.

He’s probably felt like the walls were closing in on him for a few years now.

I have a very helpful lawyer in Italy to assist me with managing a rental. I also have one here to assist with estate planning. They are useful for sure but some of their services can definitely be best done by A.I. eventually. Paralegals have already been impacted. Heck chatgpt wrote me a nice tenant affidavit in perfect Italian which my lawyer there proofread and made minimal edits. I didn't tell him I generated it from chatgpt but he probably suspected it.

Btw: While A.I. will be massively disruptive to knowledge work like NAFTA/globalization was to the working blue collar class....I have profited handsomely from my IBM stock...I'm up 40% baby!

I idolize every human being.

Bobby Clarke?

 

[deadhead]

Why are hockey players such sexual deviants?

You think it's different in any sport?

Young men are idolized for their athletic talent, they have hard young bodies and girls throw themselves at them on a regular basis, so they assume any woman they hit on will say yes.

It also applies to rich men/celebrities who are used to women throwing themselves at them and take it for granted. Think about all the actors and musicians who are assholes to women.

Many never develop normal social skills and empathy to relate as decent people when it comes to dealing with women.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Hard young bodies.

It’s not wrong but reading that made me chuckle inside

 

[Fight4yourRight]

I can tell you that Lupul and Upshall were on that team....and given their actions at a local golf tournament, they might be squirming right now.

100 %
Both certified scumbags.

Oh yeah, A.I. is going to eliminate pretty much anything and everything probably not in my lifetime but my son's I would expect it. I don't know too many people at least in the personal injury world who have been impacted by the use of AI for good or bad.

If you're talking about litigating something, AI isn't there yet. Could be helpful for research and stuff like that (I personally don't trust it yet for something like that so still do my own but I know people who have used it) but at least right now AI isn't helping you argue a motion and even if everything in your brief that AI wrote is technically accurate and on point, the judge is still going to have questions about different issues or caveats about your case vs. the cases you cited in your brief (or about cases you didn't cite in your brief but that the court has questions about) that you need to answer immediately. And at trial forget it, AI isn't helping you do anything in a trial, that's all on your feet and preparation because anything can and does happen in a trial you also need an answer immediately, and typing something into AI to get an answer won't help you there and the jury seeing you do that likely is not going to score you any points.

Eventually though, yeah, lawyers are gone.

I wish my lady idolized my dad bod the way Deady idolizes hard young men.

There are woman out there attracted to dad bods but I think most of them are full of crap that say they are....

Then there are people like Bill Clement that idolize greek god bodies like Jeff Carter...

AI is a bit overblown. It'll be really useful as "hamburger helper," do research, write first drafts, etc. Basically the scutwork done by lower level workers, but it'll always have to checked. And there is going to be a plateau where most of the easy gains have bee realized.

Where AI excels is the kind of repetitive task where it can do thinks at a magnitude quicker than humans, for example, modeling all the possible permutations of crystal formations to identify the best prospects for detailed investigation. It still requires a human to employ KISS to provide tasks suited for AI.

Right now it's riding the hype machine, as people get used to it they'll also recognize its limitations, GIGO.

In about 5 years this post will be archaic like Bobby Clarke.

A.I. obviously still has limitations but it is still going to be a largely disruptive tech....already seeing it in the political realm. Only going to get worse. In other areas like science and health ...many major advances will be realized. The rub with A.I. is how much of it will be a force for the common good and how much of it will be a force for not so good and who will benefit most.

Oh how I wish this were true, deady. I still get marketing emails from security vendors with buzzwords like blockchain multiple times a day. It may never end.

The blockchain's gonna change everything bro just imagine. More blocks. More chains.

An article that has

It seems like there are tons of them throughout the world. It's bizarre to see how rampant it is.

Do you really think it's worse now than it was in years prior? Or do you think social media and other outlets make it easier to see it more often now than in years prior? (Serious question)

Worse in prior years but not certain...I mean it was more normalized to be misogynistic. You had a complete miscreant serial rapist like Cosby basically saying it was part of the culture then to engage in sexual abuse. You had people like Kirk Douglass rape a young teen in Natalie Wood just because he felt privileged to do so etc. etc. You saw how sexual misdeeds were more glorified in movies back in the day until movies like The Accused with Jodie Foster brought some awareness along with the Navy tailhook scandal. Then came Me Too. Only thing is ...not sure how much the pervasiveness of online porn is influencing sexual violence....deviancy.

Probably much worse in the past. Jim Brown admitted that he beat women (and men too for that matter). It just didn't get out.
