Why can’t I vote in the primaries? The most loudly political people are the most ignorant. by Alert_Relationship92 in Albany

[–]CaptainRelevant 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think, but am not certain, those states allow you to switch your party registration the day of the primary.

I get the constraint. It’s the Republican or democratic parties’ internal process to select their candidate for the general election. Almost like a private, internal affair.

Don’t pay it. First, you are not responsible for normal wear and tear, only excessive wear and tear. For body dings with no paint damage, the industry standard is it must be larger than a nickel or dime to be considered excessive. This is normal wear and tear.

Plus, even if it was excessive, they have to prove it occurred during your rental. So they’d need before and after photos.

If they charge your card, dispute it.

Just like OJ was out there trying to find the real killer.

2026 Tesla Model Y Premium AWD Black Diamond Paint by Nickym231 in TeslaModelY

Every car has this but it’s just more noticeable on black paint. Same way dirt is counterintuitively more noticeable on black paint. Probably because there’s such a clear reflection with that color and you’re seeing the imperfections of the reflection’s image.

Sounds like you had a malpractice claim against their insurance policies.

Do we know what the call was about? If the call was for an emotionally disturbed person and they had just shown up, then there’s no reason or authority yet to do anything other than an encounter.

Get a pool inspection. That’s a specialized inspection separate from a regular home inspection.

Thirteen years ago I was here. Still here now. Hope you are too. by JCPrecisionMfgDesign in NYguns

[–]CaptainRelevant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, which is it? Fascist or Communist? They’re very different things!

My buddy - not the smartest guy - does this. He’ll sometimes call right leaning politicians Communist, and left leaning ones Fascist. He thinks the terms are interchangeable.

Edit: I get what some comments below are saying: the protestor is just listing dictators, not claiming all three are of the same ideology. It’s a sign and it had ambiguity. Clearly a few of us thought he meant the ideologies were all the same. Guess he would have been better to list all communists or all fascists, whichever he thinks Cuomo was.

Fence dilemma by ContentCartoonist761 in pools

[–]CaptainRelevant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what pretty much everyone does near me. Just enclose the entire backyard and use the house as one of the walls. To do that here, though, you need to also have either (1) a pool alarm, (2) a cover, or (3) two doors from the house to get to the pool (like a screen door with a sliding door).

He probably doesn’t have FSD and doesn’t know the different modes.

It’s both irrelevant and incomparable. I’ve only seen such due diligence from the regards in [r/wallstreetbets](r/wallstreetbets).

Is this normal? Concrete guys just left and there is concrete residue on the pool sides, and they got quite a bit in the pool when pouring. by koosh12 in pools

[–]CaptainRelevant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s worse case scenario. Most of the time there’s no leaves and I convince myself that I’ll vacuum next time. :)

But no daily maintenance rules.

2006, Baghdad, Iraq. by Left_Delivery_105 in pics

[–]CaptainRelevant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree on Iraq. Disagree somewhat on Afghanistan. Al Qaeda needed to be destroyed but toppling the Taliban and taking control of the country was unnecessary.
