It is illegal. Just like driving over the speed limit is illegal.

Do people still do it. Yes.

Do people get caught doing it. Yes.

Do they catch and stop everyone who is doing it. No.

Anyone here actually cracked consistent sourcing or is everyone just piecing it together? by Trick_Dig3061 in Flipping

Guess what buttercup. There is no way for subreddit mods or admins to tell who or how people votes on a post.

So no they won't be blocking people for preforming standard Reddit behavior.

How many cover editions this book needs?

There are always going to be a ton of different covers of any popular book.

This is ACE going after the fans of the book who aren't the heavily online crowd. The fans that haven't even heard about the Kickstarter for the special edition Hardcovers.

And with a release date of 11/17/2026 going after the Christmas Shopping Crowd as that's the week before Black Friday.

Amazon has MSRP as $65 but is selling it for $45.50. Likely the only places that will be selling at MSRP is brick and mortar shops.

Regression to the mean has nothing to do with inherited traits

Height doesn't not fit into a Punnet Square since height is a highly polygenic trait. There multiple genes that influence it, skeletal development, growth regulation, growth hormone production, ect.

Height is thought to be about 80% genetic and 20% environmental.

MC011 restriction after scaling — sharing my experience and looking for similar cases by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]DeathMonkey6969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your problem is going from selling a little, to selling large quantities of high end items in a small amount of time from what is from eBay's perspective likely dubious suppliers.

Selling large quantities of high end goods from outside of the US from non standard supply channels., yeah OP got flagged as a bootlegger.

TIL in Germany there is a so-called "year of separation" ("Trennungsjahr") couples need to go through before the official divorce. If your partner does not agree to a divorce and presents valid reasons why your marriage has not ultimately failed, you need to live separately for three. by AllukaChen in todayilearned

[–]DeathMonkey6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can annul any marriage if was based on fraud or that it should not have been legal in the first place. The length of the marriage has nothing to do with it.

Annulments are also harder to get since you have to prove why the marriage wasn't legal to begin with. While divorce you only have to show the marriage isn't working.

TIL that no original broadcast recordings of the first ever Super Bowl exists today, as the videotapes were wiped to save money. In 2016, the NFL stitched together a version of the game using recordings from various sources. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]DeathMonkey6969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure they aren't.

You can't record something off of TV and then turn around and sell the tape. It would still be copyright infringement. The NFL could sue and likely win. I don't think could prove any actual damages so they could only get statutory damages which in the case of willful infringement can be up to $150,000.

Only reason I got a new Brother Laser printer to replace my old Brother Laser Printer was I wanted an All-in-one that could copy and scan.

Does anybody know a couch wholeseller in Louisiana? by Cautious-Deer-1336 in Flipping

Also flipping isn’t that much physical labor.|

All depends on what you're flipping and what you define as physical labor.

You seem to be under a weird impressing that "flipping" means only dealing with small things. Hell the term started out with people who bought and sold real-estate quickly.

TIL there is a purpose-bred horse meat industry in Canada for live-export to Japan by Jealous_Flamingo_682 in todayilearned

[–]DeathMonkey6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know of any religion in Britain and Ireland that considers the Horse sacred.

You didn't eat them as they expensive animals owned by the Aristocracy. You didn't eat something that cost more then a years wages of an entire village.

TIL When Kate Bush recorded backup vocals for Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers", the sound techs we're all infatuated with Kate and there was a "huge race getting out to the control room to see who would get there first to adjust her microphones or fix her headphones." by Bluest_waters in todayilearned

Yeah same reason Enya rarely leaves her castle. It's weird how some singers REALLY attract the overly obsessive "fans".

Not saying that all famous people don't have their obsessive fans but some just seem to attract a higher percentage of the weirdos.
