Private investigators are often sent out on work comp claims to ensure they're actually legit, especially back injuries. I've seen countless cases of bawwws with alleged back injuries doing something dumb like manually lifting and hooking their boat trailer to their truck.
I know a guy that used to do that. He had a Blazer with blacked out windows, w/camera holes for him to film, & take pics thru. He'd sleep in it while staking out fakers. He'd do stuff like loosening valve sticks to let air leak out until the faker had a flat. Then he'd film them taking off their neck brace and changing the tire. He had some strong $2000 lens back in the 90's. The attorneys would tell the faker they had proof he wasn't hurt, but most would continue their suit, and have to sit and watch the film.

Deepwater O&G…. You don’t actually get a set of truck nuts when you get hired.

I know I know, I was disappointed too.

again, putting aside our differences. I wasn’t attempting a gotcha. Just didn’t know that was your line of work, but find AI an intriguing and exciting space, being in IT myself. That’s cool. I’ll be interested to get your insight and perspective on the topic going forward as time passes and you learn more.

Happy Friday mmmmmbeer!

Amazes me the number of moderately priced jobs go cheapest route on materials, labor, maintenance, etc…

People want the world given to them for a dollar and expect high quality, longevity. Delusion.

Well you pointed out going to “college prep classes”


They don't have college prep classes in public schools?

Seeing how you proudly claim you are “smarter” than everyone else, it is not worth the argument.


I didn't say that exactly. I said private school students are (generally) smarter than public school students. I said every student in my class was accepted to college.

There are some really good public schools out there that rival private schools. We have some really good public schools in my area. And I'm sure not all private schools are good.. I'm also not saying smart people don't go to public school. Millions of smart people have graduated from public school...

but in general, I believe the students in a cross section of private schools would score higher than students in a cross section of public schools...

Not trying to have an e-fight... If you disagree, that's perfectly fine. I don't feel strongly enough about this topic to argue...

I never said I myself am smarter. I'm a dummy now. Can't remember anything..

Nationwide, about 18% of auto accidents have an attorney involved. In Louisiana, it’s over 72%.

Just because you copy multiple people on an email for specific reasons, some even important to the email topic at hand, you can NOT enforce the person replying to hit REPLY ALL.

I work in bankruptcy and restructuring.

Caesar's owns dozens of casinos in the USA, yet only N.O. and Vegas make money

Their entire premise is to get you to make money at your local casino and get enough points to go to Vegas and lose your shirt.

I worked on their BK in 2014 and it was one of the more interesting cases I've worked on

Are you telling us that IQ tests show that people who spent their career in public schools are just as smart as people who spent their careers in private schools? If you have any links that show that I would be interested.

More often than not, just plugging the scanner into your hoopty doesn't tell us what is needed to repair it.
