A quick definition of writ of praecipe:

A writ of praecipe is a legal order that tells someone to do something or explain why they haven't done it. It can also be a written request for a court to take action, like setting a trial date or making a judgment. In the past, it was used to recover specific things like property or money. The word "praecipe" comes from Latin and means "command."

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of praecipe is a legal document that commands a defendant to take a specific action or explain why they have not taken action. It can also refer to a written request for court action, such as setting a trial date or entering a judgment.

For example, if a plaintiff wants to recover a specific piece of property from a defendant, they may use a praecipe writ to command the defendant to return the property or explain why they should not have to.

In the past, a praecipe writ was also used to begin an action for common recovery, which was a legal process for transferring land ownership. The writ would command the defendant to appear in court and return the property in question.

Overall, a writ of praecipe is a powerful tool for plaintiffs to compel action from defendants in legal disputes.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe
