How do you know someone is {something}?
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you within the first 2 min of meeting them.

Honestly, me too. I now understand why people didn't like me saying it. Though
I was only telling people to explain things that they usually were asking about,
not just name dropping on a regular basis it like appears to be happening here.

If the topic of discussion were FIRE or how to find a good non-employer health
care plan then great, who better to weigh in than someone who did it. Otherwise
it's better to be discreet.

You gave good advice Crystal, as you always do

As someone in a similar position, I'll give some unsolicited advice. Telling
people only makes them hostile towards you. I've never had someone take it
in a good way, ever... even if I was using it to make a point. I too was proud
and used it to back up various statements and advice, or even to just explain
my life when they asked and people don't hear it in a positive way.

You've mentioned retiring early several times already. Must be quite proud
of your achievement. This post says you retired at 37, but your earlier post
says that you were "lucky enough to retire at 42":

So which is it? Maybe it's neither.
|
First time at 37 in order to lend merit to a case I was in. It's not what
it's cracked up to be though. You get bored very quickly. At 39 I turned
a pet project from grad school in to a living breathing entity and was bought
out at 42. So in this instance, I retired at 37, but according to bank documents
it was "official" when I was 42.

Yeeea, but what can you do? You can't make everyone happy all the time,
just some of the people some of the time.

Ok, good luck.

TLG did send a second letter first which HA Bricks ignored as well so its kinda
his own fault he got sued (in my opinion).
2.25.
Nadat [naam] in reactie op een tweede aanschrijving door de advocaat van Lego
Juris er geen blijk van had gegeven alsnog aan de sommatie te zullen voldoen,
heeft Lego Juris deze kortgedingprocedure ingeleid.

Yes. There are discussions elsewhere making out that LEGO were incredibly unfair
going in hard from the outset on a poor hobbyist that got caught up in something
they had no knowledge of, when the reality seems to be that they took softer
approaches first but the small business wanted to continue doing what they were
doing so refused to comply.

| | | The printed parts and modified bricks with bearing still have the LEGO logo.
|
As I read through the messages and the court documents, one thing kept sticking
out in my mind: He modified a LEGO brick and added a bearing while still keeping
the LEGO logo.
If the bearing ever came loose and someone was injured (or ingested the bearing
and choked) who would be responsible?
Some will say, we'll it is obviously not a LEGO part or the fault of the
LEGO Group. Others would argue that the LEGO Group condoned the modified part
by allowing the modification to occur unchecked.
We have become a very litigious society. As such, a company was well known as
the LEGO Group has to error on the side of caution and send a very clear message.
Otherwise, they risk paying for someone else's mistake.

I missed the part about ignoring the second letter, but generally the more obstinate
you are and the harder/longer you fight directly correlate to the stiffness of
the penalty. It's like how in criminal court in the US if you plead guilty
up front you get a smaller fine and jail time than if you not guilty and go all
the way to trial and lose.
Most of these (at least in the US) settle out of court before ever going to trial
so either things are different abroad or he legitimately thought he could fight
this. Can anyone in The Netherlands find info on DJ Mensink? I'm not having
any luck and I'm morbidly curious what area of law they specialize in.

a quick inernet search gave me this:
Douglas Mensink heeft als oprichter van MICTA ruim 16 jaar ervaring in de
advocatuur en 30 jaar ervaring in het vakgebied ICT en Recht. Hij heeft als specialisatie
Intellectueel Eigendomsrecht, ICT-recht en Internetrecht en heeft in deze
disciplines zijn sporen inmiddels meer dan verdiend. Vanzelfsprekend kent hij
ook zijn weg in de andere rechtsgebieden.
So he is specializing in Intellectual Property law, ICT law and Internet law

Thanks! All my results were for US attorneys with similar names.
