Minor that views site is located in Mississippi<br /> 4. Minor that views site lives in Mississippi but is visiting outside the state<br /> 5. Sheriff doesn't like the site, so claims jurisdiction despite none of the above conditions being true. <br /> <br /> Also, they don't specify penalties, other than to say that the courts can decide to order payment of "court costs and reasonable attorney fees". I could have missed it, but I did read it twice a couple nights ago. <br /> <br /> Meant to punish online porn accessible to minors ... but it doesn't try to too hard define what is porn and what is art or educational.3424866http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2023-05-07T01:16:43+00:002023-05-07T01:16:43+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

One list seemed to be about the latest things on their paid "HailState Plus" service and the other was just a daily update of athletics department happenings. I tried to unsub from the HSP messages, but I think it got all messages, and I'm okay with that. If I'd known, I'd have waited, because MSU is one of the campuses where both the men's and women's basketball teams are in the tournament.<br /><br /> Honestly, the main list was okay, if overwhelming. My biggest issue is that they suddenly started sending me stuff years after our last contact, with not even an opt-in "Hey, we see that you formerly contacted us and we would like to send you daily updates on our sports programs" message first.3423226http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2023-03-24T00:01:06+00:002023-03-24T00:01:06+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water. <br /> <br /> The worst places were in #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/mississippi" rel="tag">Mississippi</a></span> (Jackson, Starkville #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/ms" rel="tag">MS</a></span>), #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/louisiana" rel="tag">Louisiana</a></span> (Baton Rouge #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/la" rel="tag">LA</a></span>) and #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/california" rel="tag">California</a></span> (Irwindale #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/ca" rel="tag">CA</a></span>). <br /> <br /> In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water. <br /> <br /> In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #<span class="tag"><a href="https://nu.federati.net/tag/batonrouge" rel="tag">Baton_Rouge</a></span>, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.3415221http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-11-22T17:33:23+00:002022-11-22T17:33:23+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
