Our house style is to use a parenthetical explanation with an introductory signal, unless the sentence to which the citation is attached explains why "see." "The sky is blue. See Foo v. Bar, 123 S.W.3d 456 (Tex. 2014)." WHY SEE? The unexplained signal is sloppy.

Supreme Court Style Guide confirms this. Signals are not used for sources of quotations…

Many women are being doxxed by Rambo Van Halen
New achievement unlocked: I’ve made it on an author’s acknowledgment page. Thank you @RamboVanHalen for telling the world that I’m a freak.

"MAGAs are saying [the Constitution requires civilian control of the military]"
MAGA's are saying Nancy Lacore doesn't out rank Pete Hegseth. Yes, SHE FUCKING DOES. Lacore attained Vice Admiral (0-9), five pay grades above Hegseth's highest rank of Major (0-4). Secretary of Defense is a civilian position, not a military rank. Hope this clears things up!

I’m guessing he sold it or had a stroke that changed his personality like Fetterman. I read Drudge religiously since 1998 and even listened to his radio show. It’s not just that it’s anti Trump now it’s also just joyless.

I've heard a few times over the years that he sold it whatever the case, it's just not the same early 2000s it was like reading the-day-after-tomorrow's newspaper

Is a gully not still a gully when it's wet? Do you even hear yourself? (And you can't mock my spelling error, since I caught it first!)

Yes. And the style has evolved, so I have always been in compliance. (A wizard is never late ….)

There are some shops specializing in hardware, but the crossover to automobile keyless fobs is another thing. I have a gate lock that takes a sorta exotic blank. My local hardware store will cut keys, but not a blank I bring in . . . not tried harder-to-get-to-shops.

456 here is the whole case. I could use a pincite to the spot in the opinion that supports that specific proposition: 123 S.W.3d 456, 459 (Tex. Etc

is your house style documented? and have you had the supercomputer run everything against the style guide to determine your rate of compliance and how that rate has changed over time

(The correct answer is select Ace Hardware shops, who can order and duplicate keyless entry for cars. The entire thing is really sketchy, with tech pulling-out a flight case with some key programming that runs on a subscription service . . .

In Seattle, I can't *find* a physical locksmith shop. Every listing lies, and is actually a mobile locksmith who wants big bucks just to show up. But actually, not even that, they are brokers dispatching independent mobile locksmiths.
