Amazing tech. The idea of turning my house into a capacitor is pretty scary though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, last year I fired an attorney in the EU and insisted that the firm assign my preferred attorney to my file. She is really good and I've actually used my pull to get her assigned to some friends cases because she's the top choice in the firm, best I can tell. She's obviously trans and very overt. But because I'm mercenary and thus am only concerned about results I am unable to care about these things as others do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
