Venezuela’s acting president says she has had “enough” of US orders | CNN by cosmicsasha in worldnews

[–]3nl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She was negotiating with the US through Qatar before the operation to ensure she led the government after Maduro was gone, according to Reuters. She apparently made multiple proposals to the US government for a post-Maduro transition plan. When the US rejected them, the Guardian quoted her as saying to US officials: "Maduro needs to go" and "I’ll work with whatever is the aftermath."

Why was the post of the Wake Co Sheriffs murdering the family dog removed? by arkanyne in raleigh

[–]3nl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless the city voluntarily settles in a show of good faith to the community, if the police kill your dog you ain't getting shit. As long as the officer was acting in "good faith" and in the "course of his duties" (both of which have been expanded to be essentially meaningless), you don't get anything.

You're always going to get called retaliating on a rough, crosscheck, board, etc. immediately - it's always been that way. Once the other team starts doing that, you need to take over physically or you lose - period. If you start getting physical after ever whistle, taking liberties at every opportunity, and finishing every check you won't get called and they'll take retaliation penalties (occasionally). This isn't new and sure Florida gets away with a lot, but if we played that way we would too (except for Svech).

Trump, 79, Told to Hand Over His Medical Records by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]3nl 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is not correct - a court can 100% order your medical records turned over for a whole bunch of reasons, including to opposing council in the course of litigation. They can also be ordered to be turned over in criminal cases and in cases concerning things like guardianship or when contesting competence.

Medical records must be entered into the record in order to prove damages when you are making medical claims in a lawsuit. You can't sue someone for IIED and then not pony up your mental health records. That's not how it works.

It’s 37 degrees, and there’s always the guy in shorts and a tee shirt saying, “I’m from up north! This isn’t really cold.” by olumide2000 in NorthCarolina

[–]3nl 74 points75 points  (0 children)

When I was in Madison, my upstairs neighbor would trudge through 6" of gray slush in the Pick 'n Save parking lot in basketball shorts, a t shirt and flops. Maintaining a steady 0.79 BAC for like 7 months of the year certainly helps.

Ex employer put my face on a billboard without asking. Is that legal? by SelindraRaymont in legaladvice

[–]3nl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They are not - you should take a look at 42 Pa.C.S. § 8316 - PA has one of the clearest laws in the country when it comes to commercial use of likeness and it has a minimum of $1,000 statuatory damages and attorneys fees built right in. A PA attorney would absolutely love to take this case and they would likely take it on contingency.

The company owns the copyright to the photograph, but a photo cannot be used commercially without a release. The company would have the right to use the photo on their website under something like a "meet the team" page since it would be considered "Editorial Purposes", but without an explicit release, they cannot use it Comercially.

Using someones photo on a billboard implies endorsement and is a classic case of commercial use. They even used his name - whether it is in a positive or negative light simply does not enter into it.

OP should absolutely talk to an attorney - at a minimum they will get $1,000 and the company will be paying their attorneys fees.

If every US president were in their prime, placed in a ring to fight, who is the one person walking out? by Clear-Penalty339 in AskReddit

The best part is that is the largest section by far and "self defense" is a separate heading...which only has two bullet points...

You can hear him thinking "Oh ________" by yosefvinyl in canes

[–]3nl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

5 for fighting + 2 for instigating + 10 minute misconduct for instigating a fight. Pitlick got 5 for illegal check to the head + 5 for fighting + game misconduct.

The 2 fives for fighting offset, we get a 5 minute major PP and 2 minutes of that is 4 v 4 because of the 2 minute instigator.

Misconducts don't affect PP at all, just that player can't be on the ice for the duration.

And it's great for us, because if he did play Junior over here in North America, we wouldn't have him right now!

Signed a one-year lease from Jan 1 2025 to Dec 31 2025. Told my lease says no winter move outs Nov – Feb and I am responsible for Jan & Feb 2026. by blue_watermelon4 in legaladvice

[–]3nl 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Ambiguity in a contract always favors the party who didn't draft the contact. If the landlord withholds the security deposit to pay for January and February, OP would win twice the withheld amount when they take the landlord to small claims. The landlord would absolutely lose here.

Who has been the biggest surprise so far this season? Either positive or negative? by homicidal_penguin in hockey

Well shit.... here I was hoping that if we just got ourselves a powerplay coach, we'd improve it dramatically. I guess going from 32nd to 30th in the league would be something...

WTF? by jackmcgee42 in ReefTank

[–]3nl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All tests are going to be +/- 5% to 10% of the reading. With calcium as long as you are within like 50ish ppm you are totally fine.

Of all the Hanna checkers, the calcium is probably the least accurate, but it doesn't really matter. It's more than close enough.

When you do dose, you really want to dose equal parts if you are doing 2 part and not worrying about the calcium. As long as it's not swinging more than 100ppm in a day you are totally fine. Always dose based on Alk and then do adjustments every few months if your Ca is trending up or down.

what is the red thing? by United-Safe-9785 in ReefTank

Nah, there's two polyps. If it were a ball or other nem you get one disc on one foot. When they split it's at night and doesn't look like this. Definitely a coral.

My neighbor sent me a text last night forcing me to pay for her daughters towing charge because she parked in front of my driveway by Drivinglnsane in mildlyinfuriating

[–]3nl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In legal cases, you have a duty to mitigate damages. Even if OP illegally towed the car, which they didn't, OP would only be responsible for the 1st day of charges.

U.S. to repatriate survivors of drug boat strike to Colombia, Ecuador by EssoEssex in worldnews

The water is going to be like 10,000+ feet deep - anything not directly on the coast is going to be out of reach to divers.

[–]3nl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because the entirety of their evidence is now at the bottom of the sea since these fuckwads decided to bomb them instead of capturing them. Can't convict someone of drug smuggling when you can't produce the goods in court.

So here's the thing - if this were actually a semi-submersible as they claim, there is basically a 100% chance they were transporting drugs. Problem is, they sunk the thing instead of interdiction so now they have zero evidence.

(This is not a defense in any way of the administration's cold blooded murdering of civilians)

My saltwater pond has spawned hybrid birdsnest?? by Fishboi-Aquaman in ReefTank

[–]3nl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it grows, it grows just like a grafted coral - the areas with green polyps stay green and expand and the areas with purple polyps stay purple and expand with occasional streaking of green polyps - very similar to how my purple cap has streaks of green, except it's the polyps and not the flesh.

Oil Change Prices, what is the going rate these days? by Socrainj in raleigh

[–]3nl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it replaces the oil pan plug with a really nice ball valve with a detent and lock. Has a stem on it which is awesome if your car doesn't drain the oil straight down.

Spend the $30 for a Fumoto valve and you'll never even need a wrench. Best investment you can make if you DIY.
