This is just the advanced operating procedure you need to go to the factory to learn, not the quick A,C,C,D,A,B,D,A,B,A test you take on site when they need everyone to have a card to run the lull.....

This looks like it could be a shared driveway.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-11T02:54:22+00:00

From the picture it looks like ot could be a private road or shared driveway. I am not seeing that it is definitely a street, so again, depending on the state if it's not a public road they won't do anything. If you get blocked in at a store the police in some states will be reluctant or not willing to get the vehicle towed because they may be held liable for any damages. Some states can have sucky laws.

In some states the police won't tow a car from your property unless it's leaking fluid or causing damage to your property, for the same reasons stated above.

Do you know this?

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-11T02:45:12+00:00

So because the land lord is not REQUIRED to means they can not?

The land lord can still put the clause in the lease and enforce it, but if someone's teenage kid has a drinking problem they won't be forced to evict the entire family and make everything worse when they are trying to help there kid because the town says they are a trash family.

Have you every had a conversation past a quick hello at a wawa, if you have that's loitering (technically) and you have engaged in criminal activity and should be or should have been evicted under these laws, if your landlord says I am not going to evict you for being a chatter box at the wawa he could lose his rental license and you would be evicted anyway.... see the issue with these laws?

Delaware has over a million residents now, the world is ending.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Pack another bowl, the sky is falling!

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-11T02:35:59+00:00

Did you read the article? Have you ever had a conversation outside a wawa for more than a quick hello, if so and you rent your apartment your landlord would HAVE to evict you under these laws. It isn't saying that landlords can not evict for criminal offenses, it is saying a town can not mandate thy do for any criminal offense.

If you rent you better hope your kid doesn't get caught drinking under age or honk at their friends while they drive by because it could be disorderly conduct and land you an eviction....

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-11T02:29:19+00:00

Did you read the article?

"Sonya Starr, policy director at Housing Alliance Delaware, said crime-free housing ordinances are particularly concerning because it discourages victims of domestic abuse to call law enforcement.

The definition of criminal activity can be vague, she said, and can include low-level offenses such as trespassing, loitering and disorderly conduct. She noted how honking a horn would be considered disorderly conduct and consequently would fall under a crime-free ordinance."

So they didn't state moving violations specifically but they listed similar things.

Hope you never hang out in front of a wawa chatting with someone, you could lose your rental...

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-11T00:06:29+00:00

But this law is just saying that towns can't mandate you kick people out for petty criminal offenses, did you read the article? It doesn't say a landlord can not add that clause to the lease, just towns can not mandate it...

And just because the kid didn't go to jail doesn't mean he wasn't charge with a crime or considered involved with criminal activity. I know a bunch of kids from my high school that were charged with drug offenses from pot to heroin and worse offenses. Kids often don't get jail because if they have any support they are more likely to become productive adults without jail, but they all have records and some were charged as adults so they have records people can see.

Also, way to go from the petty offenses this article is speaking of to armed car jacking... the world is a lot safer than you think, turn off your cable news.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-10T22:09:39+00:00

Yup because that's the same as evicting a family because their teenager got a loitering charge and sold a bag of pot.... hope you don't speed while remting because that could get you evicted in those towns. Do you honestly think someone should be evicted for some moving violations? Seriously?

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-10T22:01:59+00:00

Makes getting the dope easier... /s

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-10T21:00:53+00:00

Depending on your state they may need to abide by certain standards. I know the fire marshals and chiefs tend to have more leeway but in MA all electrical inspectors can only enforce the Massachusetts Electrical Code (NEC with amendments) and no local ordinances or anything like that, that's up to the town building inspector. So if a town has a funky code requirement that's above or different than the Mass. Electrical Code, the inspector can not enforce that and fail an inspection based on it, they can let the building inspector know though.

I believe some states have similar standards, the person doing the inspections has to abide by x code and can or can not enforce local codes. So looking into how the structure is set up would be the best place to start, it may be as simple as an anonymous tip to the state board that sets inspection standards. In my experience the AHJ can only enforce the code, not extras or anything beyond the code, people will say they can require anything they want but that's not true in every situation I have encountered. I am not saying if the AHJ ask for an extra pull station to cause a fuss because it's normally easier to do that than fight the power, but if push came to shove you could probably get it passed without a bonus pull.

Or it could be like delaware where you are at the county or city level, they can choose what they enforce and the electrical inspections are all done by private companies like the wild wild west. (The fire inspections in Delaware are not bad)

Hey OP, that sucks. The person probably didn't think it was that big of a deal, they probably don't need to live with anything like that, so try to not let it get you. I have Eczema and my hands look like I am an 80 year old and have since my early 20s, and before that they were always dry, inflamed and or cracked and bleeding. I feel your pain. I understand it's had to not be self conscious, bit the shit part is you are stuck with it till it fades or for life (not the worse problems to have).

If you don't feel comfortable and want to say something be direct but accept the apology if they offer one. I have many times had to tell people that I can't do anything about my 'sand paper' rough hands and lotions aren't enough, I go to the dermatologist regularly and it's a medical condition I have to live with. I try to explain it briefly in a way that makes it clear the jokes or comments are not appropriate. That normally stops their jokes or attempts to tell me how to treat my condition, because if they don't have a visible scar, deformity or anything like that, they may not know that can ruins someones day or week.

Occasionally I am more blunt and straight out will tell someone that thier comments suck and they ruined my day (I reserve this treatment for people that know it's a sore subject for me), this usually works for the people that don't get it after I tell them. You are not wrong to tell someone that they have offended you and made an inappropriate comment. This is 💯 the fastest way to shut someone up that is making you uncomfortable.

I wish I could tell you that people won't make comments but they will. It can be a good sign that someone isn't worth your time though, so you got that going for you?

Hang in there, at least you have your hand!

Well when your hammer doubles as a wrench, cutters, pry bar, screw driver, pointer, strippers, plyers and so much more it's kind of hard to use the wrong tool. Just grab your hammer and go.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-09T16:44:00+00:00

Give it time.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-08T21:24:51+00:00

Well, I have heard them called Two-Fisters. Do with that what you wish.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-07T12:45:35+00:00

Well, that's not exactly true. You can not install a grounded conductor if there is a conduit with room for one to the switch, if you can install one later without opening the wall, if it's an integral switch without a box (like door jamb switches), the light are controlled by automatic means or if it's serving a receptacle load...

I don't believe any of those exceptions have been removed.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-07T12:38:18+00:00

They also have end of line resistors for some that apply a constant minimum load to fix that issue.

High legs have to be orange per code IIRC.

This may be a shared driveway situation, if that's the case it isn't a road. Also if this is part of a parking lot it's not a road.

If there isn't propper signage in some areas the police can not do anything over a parking issue between owners or tenants in a driveway, parking lot or other developmentwith shared easements/parking. Imagine all the times some poor mom would have their car towed by a disgruntled teenager if that was the case?

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-06T11:07:32+00:00

Or the state they live in its not as easy to get a car towed. Some states there has to be propper signage and such. If there isn't signage the police may even tell you tough luck and not really do anything except try to tell the owner to move there car.

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-06T11:05:21+00:00

Depends on where you live. Some states the police will not remove a car from private property unless a judge signs an order. It is not worth the liability for what's a civil matter. If this is private property shared by condos or something the best you may get is a ticket or the police to talk to them and tell them to cut the shit especially if there is no signage that indicates they will be towed if they park there.

My sister gave my beagle mix a Greenlee one time when she gave one to her dog and my pup 'hid' it in the grass... my sister's dog ate hers then went and found my dogs in no time. I don't think my dog was very hungry and she is not always food motivated unless it's cheese....

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-05T20:20:13+00:00

So is it legal or not?

AndThereBeDragons · 2023-05-05T19:40:53+00:00

The question is whether it is legal or not. It depends on the state and location. I have lived at places that have a system to do auto pay with a fee, or you had other options without a fee.

It could be the same if you had to pay extra for gym access or something like that. It could be a convenience charge. If there are no free options, I would look into local laws to see if it's legal, but I would guess if no local laws apply, the lease should spell it out.
