D**g mules will hide d***s inside baby diapers, because it's highly unlikely customs agents will search there.

Simple electronics have been used in the past to hide explosive devices. The one that brought down the plane in the Lockerbie bombing, was in a small portable radio. Typically, the way those explosive devices are made, the electronic device won't work due to the explosives inside. SO, refusing to turn something on sends up red flags.

As noted for the guy with the plate, the same applies here. If you're flying after recently having had an injury, you can get a card that details your injuries.

A doctorate is not a doctor. Not wrong, but it leads to one.

So, to kinda note something. The article states it's a civil lawsuit... not criminal. Now, the only reason someone would go the civil, and not criminal route? It's because the standard of evidence is much lower in a civil suit, when compared to a criminal suit. Remember the OJ Simpson case? Even though he was acquitted of the m****r in criminal court, the family won in civil court.

Porsche built the Tiger tank. ITT (now Harris) built the FW190. Bayer (yes that bayer) used forced labor, IBM built computers for the nazis... Quite a lot of companies you know of, or maybe use every day, have questionable origins. They're not being made to explain that... so why would an affiliate station need to explain that they've picked another station to piggy back off of to get high-quality, expensive programming like prime-time shows and live sports that they could never produce on their own

Not the same group. Local Fox affiliate here in Tidewater Virginia. Not the same. WAVY 10 (local NBC affiliate) is sister station.

It doesn't. This is our local NBC affiliate in the Virginia Beach area (WAVY 10) and their sister station, local Fox affiliate Fox 43. They share a studio and some staff. Both are excellent.

Context: Low bridge near where the loading yard was. Locomotive was a remote control unit, and the operator was new on the job. He was on the far end, away from the locomotive, and was backing the train up after loading to reposition it at a different loading point. Normally this isn't an issue, as they are supposed to only move four or five cars at a time. However the operator had close to thirty during the movement. While the locomotive cleared the bridge... the cars... did not. The operator did not realize his mistake until he was some ten cars deep into the damage.

Clarification: Not the train driver himself. Operator meaning the company.

That's the main reason behind it. There's been numerous instances where a landlord will "accidentally lose" the lease documentation... or even outright just claim one doesn't exist. By forcing them to have to swear to it in a court of law, where perjury applies (which can result in jail time), it helps prevent situations like what you describe from happening.

I remember when this was originally posted on reddit. So, the reason this happened, and the rent increase, weren't related. The pool got filled in because of a change in local safety codes, and violations from young people jumping off an overhanging balcony into the pool. (you can kinda see it on the left side of the photo). The complex didn't want to end up sued, and filled it in as a safety measure while they worked out a way to replace it and prevent people from jumping off the balcony into it. (Pool was barely four feet deep.)

You like being in jail... don't you?
