Used to mean something else in the world of machinery and auto mechanics. Old school stuff. There is a screw that holds the distributor cap in place. A mechanic would loosen that screw and rotate the whole distributor cap very slightly, maybe 5° or so, the thing is round, so that's a really small portion of a circle. So one could turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to advance or retard the timing.

The concept of judgement notwithstanding the verdict grants some of that power to lower courts. It shouldn't be like that, but it is.

If you met someone who you really enjoyed talking to, what would stop you from staying connected to that person after the 7 days were over? You would know their username, right?

Your name is well chosen. I think you just wasted a lot of time essentially making the same points I did.
