I know. It just seemed funny that the other three directions are represented.

If/when Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state, it should take the name East Puerto Rico, just to be fair.

It just occurred to me that there are no states named East Statename.

As long as the thing you promise to do (or refrain from doing) is something that you would otherwise have the legal right to do, it can be an enforceable contract term.

In this case, the buyer promises to refrain from selling their car in the first year--something they otherwise would have a legal right to do.

A contract for murder, on the other hand, would not be enforceable because there is no legal right to commit murder.

Strips cut through forested areas like this are generally called fire breaks. I don't know if there's a more specific term for those beneath power lines.

Part of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.

If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.

The FBI recommends that everyone use an adblocker as part of their basic security toolkit.

If your browser vendor has a problem with that, switch to a different browser.

It was filed in federal court. Why they filed in a federal court in Texas is not yet clear.
