Is there a way to know if she is being represented by a public defender?

This was the case at UofM. When it's time to collaborate, it was group projects that were less specified.

I have this for sailboat routing: https://leebow.dev/research/how-the-race-to-hawaii-is-won. It solves the optimal route for every Transpac and Pac Cup start since 2011, using each race's own verified wind data (ERA5). Then it compares that route to what the fleet actually sailed. It shows the median hours the fleet gave up, how often the optimal route even falls inside the fleet's own spread (16% of the time), and how much that pattern holds from year to year. A second figure runs the same solve across 108 routes over 70 years, so you can see how much the optimal route itself varies, not just one good example.

One difference from the OpenAP/scikit-decide setup: my router doesn't search a fixed grid with A*. It runs a continuous isochrone search that expands a fan of headings against the live forecast each step. That's closer to how routing is actually done for this problem, and it's what both the live product and the backtest above use.

The more interconnected the grid gets, the more true this becomes.

Correct, no mens rea, unless we're talking the internal reasoning trace of the model.

There are no air ducts to move air between the units. They are old brick buildings and retrofitting central air you might as well tear down and rebuild a lot of the time.

The biggest forest fire I know of in Southern California this year was caused by a boater using his government mandated safety flares.

If there was not a law regulating the use of these incendiary devices, Santa Rosa may not have burned.
