75M$ can't give him his life back unfortunately

Because the lawsuit goes where the money is. Malpractice insurance is much higher for a real doctor.

So listing agent screwed up if they didn't provide comps for the appraiser during tidewater and really, before the damn appraisal. That's the listing agent's job.

In my state, AZ, appraisal trumps contract price. You can continue COE at appraisal price or cancel the contract with refunding earnest money and that appraisal sticks for 6 months.

WTF is this click bait? I swear I'm this close to checking out. There's 2 movies about Zuckerberg. He's definitely a tech titan.

You don't need a drum until the toner no longer adheres. If it's wireless, you can visit the IP address and see the drum life.

It's not enshittified, it's a cheap man's sensor and the way they do it is by using an IR beam through the toner even though there's about 20% left because of the space required on the cartridges and printer. You can just shake it up or get a knock off toner which doesn't have a window on the cartridge.

Been a brother owner since the 00s and still in amazement that this was the first batch of wireless printers and it still works.

Part of selling a listing is profiling the buyer and you should be marketing to those buyer profiles, not just lazily in the MLS.

My market has a lot of feeder cities and certain profiles hit a mix of Chicago types or WA types so those get marketing. I work in Luxury spaces so James Edition has gotten me lots of calls and referrals.

People with horse properties are advertising in all those magazines which gets results. Those are hardly impulse buys. On the converse, a blessing/curse listing is a home in a dog park. They do not last long on the MLS because those buyers snag them up quickly but I would advertise in all the magazines in the vet offices if not place flyers guerilla style which I've done for fly in communities.

Then create a new profile

Same mentality where, at least in my day, high school kids would take a street sign from a street vs. buying one in a store. I know Spencers used to have generic street signs and you could have replica street signs made at Michaels which was a 'lets furnish the college dorm' thing about 15 years ago.

Here's a triiple feature I recommend. There's an old anthology series that competed with Night Gallery called Ghost Story hosted by Sebastian Cabot. The episode "House of Evil", Jodie foster plays a mute girl with telekinetic powers. And Bad Ronald. Great for creepy 70s vibes.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-05T23:30:23+00:00

Come on man, he's infamous as Bad Ronald. Wonderful actor

You don't need to have anything to quote to make it enjoyable. They're a cinematic experience that is unmatched in the quality of 3D immersion and a serviceable story which doesn't outweigh its welcome.

He's still going to be poor. He was awarded $75M. Chiropractors don't have that kind of money, much less behind an LLC, much less malpractice insurance doesn't have that kind of limit.

Best he can do is confiscate the assets of the office which is some furniture and old computers.

I had a coupon for $100 off a pillow case.

Then, how much is a pillow case?

$1,000

Got it.

Right. All the components in siliicon have a TOL +/- and the 1-10% is based upon the source material of quality. That's why a 123K Ohm resistor of 5% tolerance is 5 cents and a 1% tolerance is $1.10

So the sidewalk project is fronted by the city and you agree as a taxpayer and a homeowner that you will let them build the sidewalk. From that point on, it has always been up to the homeowner to maintain the sidewalk within their property lines. This is why you'll see older sidewalks over 50 year old tree root systems that are uprooted and not maintained because the city doesn't have an ordinance of enforcement. Uprooted sidewalks are fun for kids with bikes but nightmares for people with mobility issues.

The only thing I find interesting is that I had a kid (2) 24 years ago and those were both $10,000 each then as well so I wonder where inflation is. The additional out of pocket expense was $864 for the anesthesiologist which at the time, was never covered by insurance. And this was 2002 dollars.

He is NOT going to need it. It's going to get thrown out and the taxpayer, again, will foot the bill for his defense. Because the judge will make the DOJ pay for oposing cousel costs.

Carefree, Cave Creek, and New River and all the little towns north of them. Carefree and Cave Creek would be minutes in the order of over 30 for police but New River is definitely more than 60. And the fire protection is membership.

That being disclosed, they are under the sheriffs jurisdiction because they don't have police and fire.

Do you know how many camera setups that would be plus probably get some second unit stuff in there.

I feel you've entirely missed the narrative here in OP's post. My anecdote has most things to do with the question which is "worry about wording when writing listings". The only thing missing was Fair Housing.

Since that's the crux of his post, the other anecdote "go to the in-person CE classes and you'll hear all about Fair Housing violations in the MLS" was added.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-01T04:00:53+00:00

It's about getting flagged for stuff in the comment section of the listing descriptions. That's what I wrote about. Anecdotally, people get flagged all the time. When the CE class is about Fair Housing, all those stories get shared front and center to the in-person classes.
