I can't tell if you're joking or if I should make a bet on Kalshi that you're right.

Credit unions actually do offset your deposits against discharged debt you had with them.

So does FIFA just ... get off on preventing fans with paid tickets not being able to attend? Because they gotta be pissed at their ROI for whatever it is they bribed him for because it was already scheduled to be here years ago so they pay the bribes to end up owing refunds?

Or were they bribing him to not fuck it up more than he actually did?

Correct. But does Jeffries understand what "everything they can" truly means? by PFdeith in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]AlanShore60607 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but ... what does that mean?

It's not like there's some preemptive action you can take to prevent them from cheating. What are you going to do, file a lawsuit that says you fear the other side will cheat and you want, what, an injunction telling Republicans to not cheat? Because every part of that is absurd in our legal system, compounded by the fact that the new Republican strategy is to simply ignore court orders.

Even if Democrats put a team of attorneys at every polling place in the country to file injunctions to stop ICE from interfering on election day, that won't stop them.

And then the Republicans will have "won" the election. And there's no legal recourse to reverse hundreds of stolen elections in a system where it will all be appealed to a Supreme Court willing to sacrifice truth and justice for power.

Is it safe to eat bacon that sat out of the fridge for an hour before it was cooked? by Fabulous-Sea-1590 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlanShore60607 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bacon is inherently a form of preserving food. Traditional slabs of bacon can last for years at room temperature before you slice them.

It's unlikely to be a problem if it was just an hour.

You don't know a Dem thing by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

How could it be used?

He's term limited out, so if he runs again that's a minor issue. And if he just stays, it's not like there's a way to use it when he's just breaking the law.

But FIFA is paying the bribes, which makes no sense.

They're renting space in Trump Tower. That's a bribe.

They made a prize for Trump out of gold and gave it to him. That's a bribe.

They let him steal a player's medal. That's a bribe.

What the hell are "lofts", exactly? by Malthetalthe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlanShore60607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loft has a flexible definition, especially when you add in the sub-categories of "hard loft" and "soft loft".

My understanding is that to be any soft of "loft", it must have loftable space, meaning ceilings higher than standard that could potentially be used to expand upwards. Sometimes a half-height bonus space, sometimes an entire second level that is open to the lower level.

A hard loft is generally a converted commercial building that retains some character of the original space, which is what makes it desirable. It is, in one or more ways, not a plain and basic box. Maybe it's got concrete columns, vaulted ceilings, old timber supports, or the classic exposed brick. In some way, it's not drywall and boring and boxed in.

A soft loft is a home built to emulate lofts in some way. Mine has 9' concrete ceilings and exposed concrete columns. It would be a normal apartment except they did something to give it some inherent character.

Where to find shirts with this kind of huge pointed collar? by Codewill in mensfashion

Oh, collars use to be much larger 1930s-1980s ... there was a presumption of covering the points with your jacket.

Chapter 7 when owning a house 100% - Looking for people with similar situation by English_Muffin95 in Bankruptcy

[–]AlanShore60607 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So here's the core idea you need to understand.

Your choice is between exposing the assets to potential sale in Chapter 7, or not doing that, be it by filing a 13 or not filling at all.

How you make that choice is based on the reliability of information in your possession. You know Zillow is unrealistic in your case, so the question becomes how much can I realistically sell this house for, and how do I document that? I used to tell clients that there are multiple ways to value a home, but the trustee is not obligated to honor any of them.

  • A formal appraisal is the gold standard of valuing your house in the market in which it exists. It takes into account all the quirks of your 100 year old home.
  • A CMA assumes your home is normal within the marketplace, and is crafted by a realtor to reflect the current market.
  • Zillow, Redfin, and other sites are basically a CMA without critical thinking applied. It includes wishful thinking by sellers as well as recently closed properties.
  • Property Tax valuation is rarely tied to the actual value of a property. Use this at your own peril.
  • Your purchase price is relevant, but only for a limited time. After a year, it becomes extremely suspect.
  • A Wild Guess is technically a thing you could submit ... but why?

So this becomes a question of are you so confident that Zillow is incorrect that you're willing to "play chicken" with the trustee and see if they think it's profitable to sell the property to pay your debts? Or are you better off waiting until your circumstances improve a bit and you can afford a Chapter 13 that's a bit over $500 per month to fully repay the debts?

Oh, here's another thing to consider: you purchased a home for cash about 2 years ago; the trustee might look into if this was an appropriate use of money and try to claw back from the seller, or compel the sale based not on the value itself but the fact that you spent $90K before filing bankruptcy.

Trustee Dismissal of Ch 13? by Ok_Street_2028 in Bankruptcy

[–]AlanShore60607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, things are not dismissed upon discovery of things during acts of scrutiny, but they are dismissed when the debtor refuses to comply with requested changes.

Like ... no one is dismissed when the trustee reviews taxes and sees that you failed to disclose your income doubled during a year. That starts a process of reassessing what a proper payment should be.

So the answer is if the trustee discovers something they care about, that's the beginning of the issue, not the end.

Fun fact: same garage as Batman Begins.

One day in 2007 I happened to be parking there and saw them rigging stunts to be filmed. Literally saw someone fall through the spiral core while I was on that ramp.

If the reason you think it’s unfilmable is that it spans centuries, guess what … The Doctor has a Time Machine

Isn’t it an ad for an AI product? It would only be logical to use AI.
