> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > “Defendant got BFC’d at arraignment. Might need the PD appointed, and CPD says he was acting wacky, so he’s probably an MDO. If the IC isn’t paying attention and the cop FTAs next time, it could even be DWOP’d. Otherwise they’ll pick him up on the cape, maybe for CCW, DUS, NDL or Agg DC. He’s got priors, so he might take it to the box, and get maxed and stacked after he’s PFS’d for a PSI. Of course, with Jenkins on the case, he just might squat. That could mean trouble for Team Ohio.” > > [spoiler]Municipal court lingo. Although I’ve never heard all of this said at the same time, or for the same case, it’s pretty common jargon around here. > > A defendant didn’t show up for his first court appearance and a “BFC” or bond forfeiture capias (bench warrant after he’s posted a bond, so he doesn’t get his money back) was issued. “PD” is the public defender; “CPD” is the City Police Department, and “MDO” is a mentally disordered offender. “IC” is a police or prosecutor “in charge” or supervisor. “FTA” means failed to appear. “DWOP” is dismissed for want of prosecution. “Cape” is a capias or bench warrant. “CCW” is carrying a concealed weapon, “DUS” is driving under suspension, “NDL” is no drivers license, and “Agg DC” is aggravated disorderly conduct. “Priors” are prior offenses. “Taking it to the box” is asking for a jury trial, “maxed and stacked” means the imposition of a maximum sentence, run consecutive to any other sentences; “PFS” is passed for sentence for the preparation of a “PSI” or presentence investigation report. “Squatting” is when the defendant rests his case without presenting any evidence. “Team Ohio” is the prosecution. > [/spoiler] I understood every word of that.

“He’s an MIMC who took FISM a few years back. Good cu worker, poker bikes all the way, excellent seconds and controls, not quite Forte but up there, loads can flash at times but the lays don’t care.” The world of magic and magicians. He’s a good magician who has been awarded the highest level of membership to the Magic Circle. He won an international competition some years ago. Specialises in close-up magic, prefers to use ‘Bicycle’ brand poker-size playing cards. Very good at some specific sleight of hand moves, although not quite as good as, say, Steve Forte. Sometimes you can spot the moment when he secretly adds something so he can magically produce it later, but the audiences he performs for nonetheless enjoy the act. ---

The spreadsheet we already sent you specifies this information - the “DC” column contains the location number, which is identical to the location numbers listed on our GLN List. (Our most current GLN List can always be found on our 1SYNC Landing Page, at the link provided in my signature below.) For example, you can see that case UPC 000-41130-48481 is listed five times, once for each DC it’s set up in - 15, 17, 18, 19 and 61. As for Save-A-Lot, I believe you’ll need to synchronize with them separately. [spoiler] We are a manufacturer going through Data Synchronization (a process where we upload information regarding our items to a retailer, and then we coordinate to make sure our data matches. Synchronized means that we agree on the data. A GLN is a numeric code that identifies a manufacturer or retailer or other entity, or their divisions and subentities. I have to publish our item information for each different DC (distribution center code) of theirs. The DC codes match to a table of GLNs of theirs, which I didn’t know until I received this information. Save-A-Lot is now owned by SuperValu but they are still separate according to this.[/spoiler] ---

Let me take a stab at it: If you put 12 of these on the same page, they will be too close together, since the ink will bleed and make them illegible, plus there won’t be enough of an edge on the page for handling. ---

By bypassing the A in ADDIE, you’ve FUBARed the SAT process. Your DIF numbers are all off, which means that your cold-license ILO for the AP-1000 isn’t going to get signed off by INPO.

So I had this hard poke in the ER last night and now he’s in the ICU. There’s all kinds of shit going on, his LFTs all needed dilutions, his HGb is 67 and now his trop is 57, so he’s got an MI too. I reran the QC on the Architect just to make sure, but it looks like this motherfucker is fucked. Oh, they wanted cryo earlier, but we don’t have any, so I thawed some plasma and called CBS for some cryo and factor VIIa and also some more A pos. Apparently the LIS is fucked too, so you might have to go to the downtime precudures…I swear to god Meditech should be paying US for beta testing. Oh, to top it all off, the fucking peds res wants C1 esterase inhibitor, but I told her that’s a SAP product and she needs to call Health Canada 'cause I’m not filling out her paperwork. I hate residents. ---

No longer part of this industy, however… Check if it’s a CI in which case you can use DEL PER POL easy. AIs do not require authorization when done in the course of business but can be disputed. For derog accounts, if claim is “not his”, use 001, process as usual and disclose 21-30 policy per FCRA. Don’t forget to populate FCRA RI screen - that could be a zero criteria failure. _Dispute Indicating Protocol within Credit Reporting Agency_ ---

“We’re match with Sergio and he looks at us and goes, ‘Good-good?’ And my man goes, ‘Uh, there’s still a little cum left on that dress, Senor.’ And he goes all postal on us, but we’re like, ‘Sure, just brush that in.’ And he puts this Vulcan thing on his wand and three-wiggles it! Then we make a camel ride on the next and stack it up on the one after that. So we torch him 4 and 3. Take a suck a that!” “In a match-play tournament, our opponent, Sergio Garcia, asks us if we’ll concede him a putt. We decline, saying, ‘No, that’s still a fairly lengthy putt.’ And this makes our opponent angry, but we continue to insist he putt it in. And he grips his putter oddly and manages to miss the putt, which gives him three putts for the hole. On the next hole, we sink a very long putt to win the hole. And on the hole after that, we hit an iron shot very close to the flagstick, winning that hole as well. So we defeated him by being four holes ahead with only three holes to play. And this is very satisfying to us!” From Rick Reilly’s “Who’s Your Caddy?” ---

Is it really such a good idea to denaturalize the space of the Same with MDS, or should we reterritorialize heterotopia by enabling clip to shape in the data frame by adding a float field and kriging the surface with a z factor of 2? Geographers. The better ones tend to be more or less comfortable in using jargon from two very different worlds: GIS software geek-world, and critical theory social scientist-world.
