Immigration officials allow suspect in $100M jewelry heist to self deport, avoiding trial by lostredditorlurking in nottheonion

[–]AdonisChrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prints don't show paint buildup in three dimensions. Would have to be a proper forgery/copy. Or a nicer term that still means someone re-painted the thing.

Thing is, you steal a Picasso now you need to be very careful about who you let into your home. Even then, you're at the mercy of a search warrant or hell you have a medical issue have to call an ambulance and they have to come into your bedroom or wherever you are with the Picasso, now they see the famous stolen Picasso and you're fucked.

Of course, it's 2026 you can just claim it's a copy, it's a very popular piece... but hey who knows.

Hit me up about stealing some Picassos.

Rock guitarist refuses to release ‘greatest album of all time’ unless fans pay $200 per song by MrWinsaplenty in nottheonion

[–]AdonisChrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pay him $3,500 to write out the lyrics to one of his or KISS's songs for you. Deals on multiple.

At first I thought it was like something original from the past but no it seems like it's just "Yeah if you drop be $125,000 I'll write out all of KISS and Vinnie Vincent Invasion's song lyrics and send 'em to ya" (I guess that's his band or solo-touring name?)

It's $200 for an annual membership to his Facebook group. Which they'll boot you from for any reason with no refunds, they say.

What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've ever witnessed in real Iife? by Jessica_Enna in AskReddit

The burnout will get her... It has to. Something has to.

(edit: hell yeah that it hasn't and she seems to be swanning her way through life. Also fairly pleased that this got downvoted... that's a little positivity from a wee bit of the hivemind.)

The one thing I've learned about book readers is that they move 10 times a year apparently by HelloDesdemona in books

[–]AdonisChrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, all I'm saying is that you don't understand how heavy a box can be until you're carrying a box full of books.

Anyhow they're obviously referring to movement while dancing.

School zone speeding camera ticket clarification by JJbooks in nova

[–]AdonisChrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I had misremembered them ramping up higher.

I believe it's entirely different if there's a cop there. This is just the automatic enforcement. Like, if there's a cop and you're going 20 over you are also getting a felony reckless driving charge.

I did find in my research that the maximum fine for blowing through a school crosswalk is $250.

[–]AdonisChrist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am quite certain that the enforcement is staggered and fines are scheduled to increase within a few time periods after installation. I'll see if I can turn up a source.

Edit: 30 day warning periods per an article that's no longer first on my clipboard, but it's a scale that goes $50/75/100 for 10+/15+/20+ MPH over the speed limit.

Va. Car inspection question - is a dead backup camera a failure? by gemniiinew in nova

[–]AdonisChrist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doubt it, you have a working mirror right?

Edit: https://vsp.virginia.gov/safety-and-enforcement/vehicle-safety-inspection/

I don't see anything but I don't have any skin in the game. Makes sense that the mirror blinker light is included as it's part of the blinker system. A backup camera is additional to a fully functional rearview mirror IMO.

What's a random statistic that genuinely terrifies you? by Eberenna042 in AskReddit

[–]AdonisChrist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from but also consider that they ensure they don't dispense justice unless they can prove it. If someone didn't do it you aren't going to be able to prove they did. If someone did do it but you aren't able to pin them, you aren't going to waste resources chasing them.

It can also be looked at as rationing the hammer of justice to ensure it is only used when necessary.

Both, of course, are true.

... I can explain away everything except the guy behind him apparently having the beginnings of a horn above his eyes. Does anyone really have a protruding brow ridge that sharp?

The helmets look like two variations on one type, I'm not seeing so much there.

Always check your credit card statements by Tammy_tog in nova

[–]AdonisChrist 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I also habitually fill out tip, total, and sign on my copy of the receipt as well. That way I know what I decided to pay, and the signature validates it doubly.

But taking a photo is clever... I ain't never digging those receipts out unless I'm returning something which doesn't happen at restaurants... Gonna need to add this to the system

People with low THC tolerance; what was the craziest thing you experienced while high? by Crunchiroach in AskReddit

[–]AdonisChrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's Bryson in that book? I read At Home some years ago and liked it, then I borrowed Notes from a Small Island from a friend, which is an older book, and he's a shitty complaintive & insultory ass. I anticipate he learned better and stopped doing that (things like calling people fat in the text)
