What is your opinion of this video? I remember being absolutely baffled when it came out (back when LazyTown memes were more popular) that someone would actually take the time to make this.

Also a lawyer. In my state, they try very hard to give you chances not to go to jail, since you can't pay very much while you're in jail. They also bring you before the magistrate before sending you to jail and will appoint you a lawyer just like in criminal court. The lawyer can usually keep you out of jail if you make any effort at all to make payments.

I understand this, but it's difficult for me to imagine that felony charges would proceed without at least one summons to appear before the child support referee regarding his arrearages.

Yeah that sounds very similar to my state. But according to OP, he never got any notice until he was arrested pending incarceration for failure to pay. So his state's system must be wildly different. In my state (and apparently yours too), you'd have a state-paid lawyer and 3 hearings minimum before you'd land in jail.

What does the observed behavior of the star tell us about the size of the obstruction? Given what we know about stellar luminosity, flux, lensing, etc., what amount of obstruction would explain the data? And how does it vary between something like a dust cloud versus one or more solid objects, such as a smashed planet or a Dyson cloud? If these are manufactured megastructures, how preposterously huge would they need to be?
