anyone worth shooting once is worth shooting twice ? :)

What is the point in ordering labwork if you don't have a doctor or physicians assistant help navigate the results? I've taken anatomy, work in healthcare & going to Paramedic school, and I'm not qualified to interpret lab results exchange for basic things like glucose, pH and a few other minor things. Don't go down the path of some of the Republican dummies and think you can self-diagnose & start an Ivermectin regiment. (ha...)

I've worked in the prison system, this isn't an uncommon mentality. It's despicable for them to yell for "Help", play the victim & then carjack/rob them. The take-away lesson: "Have a plan to kill anyone you try to help". I work in EMS & try to take a constant role as a Good Samaritan, but at the end of the day, you should always have an escape plan & the means to defend yourself with a blade or bullets.

Oh.. wow -- You're right... It was so well run I assumed it was a corporate store. Make this under, "Well, that was unexpected!"

he did think twice…. he shot him twice.

The Verizon corporate store on John Rolfe Parkway(far west-end) took our 5 set-top-boxes in under 3 minutes. I brought them my VZ order sheet with the ID, he typed in a few numbers, scanned each box & gave me a receipt. No wait, no hassle. You mileage may vary.

How so? I'm just concerned I have a competent CPA, not caring about their personal life.

I wasn’t aware that CPA’s needed to fly the pride flag to be adept at cheating the IRS?! I’ve got a fierce midget-porn thing going on, but I’m only concerned with my accountant keeping me out of an audit for cheating on my taxes, he’s probably not accepting of my midget-porn lifestyle, but I hope it has some line-item deductions involved /s

Thank you for your service.

You win - I get it. I thought this was the stark comparison between laborers in Qatar being run-over & killed by bulldozers on construction sites as "normal" and the minor whining of people having their WFH yanked or curtailed. No apologies, I don't really care about pleasing anyone on Reddit. Get back to me after you've watched a few people commit suicide or die over the holidays and then you can complain about your job. Over & Out.

WFH is great for some industries & professions, for others not so much. Did I say all WFH is bad? No -- if there was a way to WFH 911, I'd love that too. There's still no way to remotely cut the roof off a car.

I was literally referring to the people on a few Reddit subs about the end of WFH, not legitimate labor issues. There's a difference in having a complaint about being stiffed on your tips, or being asked to work off the clock, and the boss taking away the free coffee.

It really emphasizes how most US Citizens are whiners & spoilt brats when it comes to employment. The majority of the world lives in poverty & defacto-slavery, yet we have people who have a meltdown because they can't telework & pet their dog now that COVID is "over".

How is this any different than the Chinese labor practices? China has defacto slavery, there people don’t have free-will, and a portion is prison/re-education-center labor. The Unites States and the majority of Europe has taken the moral high-road, but we still outsource everything to slavery countries. It’s a perplexing issue, sort of like when we stopped calling people “Negros”, but still actively exploited them. This is all above our pay grade, as this is orchestrated by world leaders

Every Volvo I've owned has automatic headlights. When you start the engine, the headlights turn on. There's absolutely no need to turn off your headlights. At least I'll never forgot to turn on/off my headlights. Why do so few manufacturers set it up this way?!?

The only way I would own a motorcycle was if I got to shoot at motorists. People driving like morons.. Is there a stronger word than morons?

Powertip: "You're doing it wrong"... Work on positioning & using shielding devices. Welding clothing (which I buy at ARC3) is only designed to stop grinding sparks & the occasional slag from MIG/GMAW welding, SMAW slag will rip right through it. Good luck with it, practice makes perfect. When I first started MIG/GMAW welding, my arms looked like a 20x day heroin user.. I've wised-up over the years. Lastly: The 3M Speedglas shield is worth the $400+ pricetag, sure, it's 400% more than a Lowe's or Home Depot shield, but you'll thank me later.

Yup-- sadly, there is no market :( We're a dying breed. If I stood on a street corner & offered $1,000 to the first person who could use a Fluke multimeter to test a capacitor, I'm not sure how many days it would take to give away that money.

there’s digikey.com. the problem with amazon is the amount of counterfeit components that don’t operate “within spec”

they don’t have a retail presence like before - nobody sells this stuff retail, there’s no money to be made

I don't get it -- If I'm going to 10mph "over the limit", and someone comes up on me going 20mph+ over, they "mad" that I'm impeding their reckless driving(as defined by law). "Dude, you're running 90mph?!?!" When I've driving an ambulance Code-3 down the Interstate, there are people passing me occasionally. And I'm getting running at least 15mph over the speed limit when driving emergent. Just as it's unsafe to drive a 6 ton ambulance more than 85mph, the way a lot of people drive is blatantly unsafe & in conflict with physics. /rant off

I think someone's looking to launch themselves to space-- unfortunately a very short journey

Who knows? We don't know enough facts. Did the landlord make a reasonable attempt to notify an emergency contact? Law enforcement is generally tasked with notifying next of kin, how long did the family wait? Was the tenant in default at or after the time of death? I think most people can agree it's "a dick move" to throw possessions in the garbage, but the landlord has plenty of defensive moves here. This is why the law is interesting -- there are so many gray areas with emotion getting in the way.

It’s comical to believe there is an actionable claim for emotional distress. But, to your point - there may be a very real negligence claim if movers went into a perfectly kept home and threw out valuables within the lease period(if it was paid up). If the OP has $10,000 to front, it may be worthwhile, but the landlord typically has more legal standing than an heir. There are 3 version of the truth. OP’s version, landlord’s version, and the truth.

I don't know why everyone wants to "Hire a lawyer" when anyone with basic knowledge can file in General District(eg: Small Claims) Court for about $50. I've taken some law classes & have sued people in Circuit Court(which is difficult), but nothing gets someone's attention like the Sheriff's hand delivering a summons. What people forget it to "start the conversation" of basically: "Hey, we think you screwed up, and you owe us something, not everything, but something". Court never goes how it's portrayed on TV, and this is likely not worth blowing $5,000+ in attorneys fees to accomplish what a DIY $50 filing fee might do.
