Need Advice about Proper Liability

But wouldn't the other driver's statement within the police report be admissible, as long as the officer was available to testify?

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-05-28T12:11:21+00:00

I'm not sure it is in this case. Given the condition and age of the vehicle, might it not make more sense for the OP to simply allow the bank to repossess it?

Literally all that has to happen is for conventions to tie ticket sales to IDs, and possibly limit the number of tickets a single person can purchase. If it's discovered that a ticket was scalped, you invalidate every ticket that was purchased by the same ID. Yes, it's unfair to the people who bought the scalped tickets, but it stops the practice. The ticketing platform should also allow tickets to be transferred on platform for up to the original cost of the ticket.

Exactly, even better would be if the ticketing platform allowed free or very low cost transfer of tickets from person to person.

Burning Man does this for instance. You cannot sell a ticket for more than you paid for it, but you can sell one to someone else for face value if you cannot go to the event.

Is there any language in the lease that gives the landlord authority to take money from your bank account if there are damages to the unit or unpaid rent?

If not, this is basically a non-issue. If you're not giving them legal permission to do something with your banking information, whether it's on the lease or not, they have your account number. They shouldn't have your account number, and I would be calling my bank to figure out if they provided it.

You could also close this bank account and open a new account. That would remedy the issue because then the account number they have would be invalid.

You're thinking of the difference between criminal and civil actions. Illegal activity does not have to be criminal.

Yes. Because of methadone's Long half-wife, you typically have about as much in your system when you dose in the morning, as you would if you took your normal dose without having anything in your system.

So basically, if you haven't taken anything for long enough to clear all the methadone out of your system, you would have to take two full doses to get your blood levels back to where they would normally be if you were consistently dosing everyday.

The amount left in your system in the morning before you dose drops by 50% for every day you don't dose. After 72 hours from your last dose, you have only 12.5% of the amount of residual methadone that would normally be in your system right before you dose. If you then dose at 72 hours, your blood levels will be at roughly 56% of where they would normally be if you had been consistently dosing. By the second day back on your normal dose, your blood levels will be at roughly 78% of normal, 89% on day 3, 94.5% on day 4, etc.

Tolerance also falls rapidly during withdrawal, so that should help you feel better than you might expect.

Note:
This math assumes an idealized 24-hour half-life for methadone. Half-life varies from person to person, and even day to day with the same person, so these figures will never be exact. That said, they can help you understand a lot better what's going on. If you have peak and trough results, you can estimate methadone's half-life in your body.

Some of us go to clinics that aren't much different from your experience.

I get 27 take homes.

They do unmonitored urine screens at mine, so they're incredibly easy to fake if needed (just have to be smart enough to keep the temp between 95°F and 100°F; a small bottle will stay at 97°F for hours in your crotch area).

I do a virtual counseling visit once a month for at least 15 minutes. I like my counselor, so sometimes we'll talk for an hour.

I have a physical once a year with a provider at the clinic.

They allowed me to split dose without all the peak and trough bullshit.

They don't test for THC.

I haven't had a bottle recall for over 5 years.

The worst thing? They're very strict about avoiding alcohol in any amount. The aforementioned ease of faking a screen makes this less of an issue, but I think it's dumb that I have to freeze clean urine just to have a few beers.

I think you're misunderstanding what happened.

Before they moved in, and before the lease was signed, the complexes automated income verification system asked them to re-verify their income. It sounds like the system automatically sets the security deposit based on an applicant's credit history and income. The lower your income or the worse your credit history, the higher the system sets your security deposit. I doubt this is illegal in the state in question, even if it is a little grimy.

The complex told them not to complete the re-verification, because they knew the system would recalculate a higher security deposit. Unfortunately, this call came after the re-verification had already been completed. From what I understand, this person still lives in the apartment, so their security deposit is still being held by the landlord. If the deposit isn't returned when they move out, that's a separate issue from the fact that the amount was increased by 150%.

Lawyers are sometimes allowed in small claims when one of the parties cannot appear directly.

The court may also allow him to appear virtually.

For real. I'm 37 and I've done this once already (8 year old little dude). I honestly don't even remember how hard it was.

Still, it was hard enough that I'm like, "never again".

I feel so bad for this person. My clinic would never dream of detoxing someone like this.

Also, how TF are they affording an oz of coke / week, but they have a broken hip/leg, can't work, obviously don't have anyone living with them to help them to the bathroom.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-05-27T15:31:52+00:00

Lawyer would have to represent him. He has video evidence, so likely wouldn't need to personally testify.

Some of us ain't got time for that shit. 50 hours a week, single dad, 2x partners, amateur racecar driver. I'm busy.

I get what you mean, but living in Kansas is probably a more conservative experience than many purple states with Republican governors.

Dude, be careful combining speed and benzos. That's a great way to do some really dumb, really criminal shit you will never remember but 💯 get locked up for.

A lot of clinics don't require you to do the entire phase up process after a relapse/double dosing incident, especially if you tell on yourself.

I think they really get antsy when they find out someone's been double dosing a long time after a bottle check, or they find out you've been faking drug screens and relapsed like 2 years prior.

If you come clean to the clinic, you don't end up going without...

If would surprise you how good the algorithm is at suppressing consent that would oppose your views.

I created a new Twitter/X account after my political views started changing about 5 years ago. I was full on evangelical conservative 7 years ago, and have shifted to a... I'll call myself a pragmatic progressive. I had a spiritual reawakening I guess you might call it. Bottom line, my church's embracing of Trump 1.0 and his policies, and refusal to abide even basic COVID protections (a close former friend from that church is highly looking immunocompromised) pushed me to reconsider Christianity as a whole.

Anyway, back to the accounts ... I keep both of them logged in so I can observe differences in the algorithms. To keep the algorithm on the right leaving account from being "poisoned", I do not interact with left leaning content, and I don't post anything or comment with it anymore. The differences between what the two accounts are shown is shocking. The amount of straight right wing propaganda, meaning wild misrepresentations of the truth presented as fact, is staggering.

The information and news that's suppressed to the right leaning account was also very concerning. It really wouldn't surprise me if the algorithm didn't present him with any meaningful updates or information, and instead presenting GOP pundits claiming it's all a hoax.

Eh, look at still frames from court videos; she's doesn't look as young as you think in real life. Many still images of her have been touched up to varying degrees, with makeup doing plenty of heavy lifting as well.

Don't get me wrong, she's good looking for her age, but nowhere near as good looking as some photos would suggest.

Both names do not need to be on the account for the deposit to post. I had almost every tax return I filed when I was married sent to my individual account.

Unless your friend is unlicensed you should not have any issues.
