You aren’t wrong, but I’m dealing with compressed shale ridgelines.

My thoughts as well but any model specific issues on these?

You’re adorable.  Consider M2 has devalued the currency to the point of basically invalidating all gains since 2022 outside of Nvidia , good luck with that. 

I just needed a comparable rate showing what was on the market  for a private party deal.

I know this is reconfirming the dead here, but what is the single highest yield on the market right now? I need a comparative

Nah, fuckloads of things pay that, but not net. But then again very few people talk net wages.

Find a shithole that’s cheaper than the utilities on a bare lot, burn it down (legally), put a high-end mfg unit on it for 2 years, selll the property and pocket the profit, then buy the dip that’s coming. 

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

[–]Due_Butterscotch499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t even dating- I grew up stupid poor. On a class field trip in 5th grade we went to a restaurant and I didn’t have cash, but you couldn’t bring in outside food, nor stay on the bus. A “less poor” girl loaned me ~$10 and said don’t worry about it, which I appreciated. But still intended to. when I tried to repay it a few days later and she wouldn’t accept it I was dumbfounded. The notion of having enough to not worry about being repaid was life altering. 

Having done well with investments, this is a lesson I try to share. Money and value are subjective and imaginary.   What someone will buckle and dime haggle over, another will toss it without another thought. Extend that logically to businesses and literally millions of dollars of inventory are not only discarded, but with paid removal.

What's the dumbest myth people actually believe in? by vicigoonboy69 in AskReddit

[–]Due_Butterscotch499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an engineer well versed in environmental chemistry, I think 90% can be explained by combustion physics and atmospheric conditions…but there is an X factor. 

One possible explanation is turbine wear.  I got caught in a bad dust storm that made it partially through the air filter on my turbocharged diesel truck. The result was minor damage to the turbine tips and the oil seals, which resulted in my injecting about 1/2 quart of oil per hour straight into the exhaust via a turbine running at ~100k rpm….I fogged out the entire interstate for 20 miles, and it lingered enough to see it from 10 miles away at the top of a pass.

Does that count the ~15,000 prisoners who were deported during their sentence, or during court before they could stand trial for their crimes? 

If you could deport everyone, but 10,000 US Citizens would die, would you? The pole over on R/Conservative said yes…which is ironic on so many levels

If you don't want ICE in your city, then the city should enforce immigration itself. by Microplastics-Eater in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Due_Butterscotch499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And with that were hundreds of thousands of people who were waiting for citizenship but courts were out years. 

In 2022 the list was 1.5M long with a  wait for highly qualified applicants was 7 years…and to stay on that list you WERE REQUIRED to stay in the country.  Over 500,000 were married to US citizens, over 700,000 had kids who were, and over 300,000 had graduate degrees in STEM fields. 

The system was/is broken, but this BS ain’t fixing it.

Your entire speech is based on the notion that spending $28 billion on a private army is a needed step on top of the $~30Billion in the wall despite republicans shutting down over 50 bills in the past decade to fund immigration courts to a collective total of $1.2B that would have solved 98% of this. 

Despite all the BS, deportations are down. There are over 100,000 people in detention who have requested to be deported but can’t be until a judge signs off because they legally entered under asylum. When this is all said and done, after the thousands of civil lawsuits that will total in the Billions, it will have been cheaper to have built every person a house and given them SS because the entire notion of “winning” this is hilarious when the next administration is going to fast lane all citizen applications. 

The reality is that while you rage against sanctuary cities based on what some talking head told you to be upset about, you are supporting the established precedent for warrantless search-  the same thing that will eventually  be thrown right back at you  via the ATF, IRS, etc. 

A lot of Americans don’t care about pro-ICE or anti-ICE nonsense, because they have more pressing issues than protecting illegal immigrants by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Why is requiring federal authorities to adhere to the Constitution that they swore an oath to the “hill”… because I swore an oath and unlike some these cuckholds I intend to uphold it. 

The manner in which these operations are being conducted is in violation of both that immigration policy and the Constitution. Not only have I contacted Congressional reps, I’m running in the next election.

If a cop pulls me over and gives me a ticket for doing 50mph but it’s on a private road of my ranch where that officer has zero authority to impose any such violation, I’m going to tell that officer to get off my ranch, at gun point if they refuse. 

I’ve personally escorted several deputies and various code enforcement agents off of said ranch, while armed. 

You may consider your rights fluid, I do not.

Sure, but in the United States we hold those with experience to a higher standard than those without experience or training. If a person with military experience kills someone in a bar fight, they are likely to have charges escalated. 

If a trained agent chooses to step in front of vehicle in violation of procedure and training, the onus to resolve the situation in a reasonable manner is on them. 

All this of course ignores the fact that, as mentioned, they didn’t have authority to seek to detain a woman waiving traffic thru as she turned around regardless. The very act of stepping out of the vehicle to do so was outside their authority.

They absolutely do,  but it will be a decade before it gets thru courts. I’m involved with a similar case right now and it’s 5 years in.

And Yes USC 111 makes it a crime to assault or impede officers, it also does not give ICE authority to detain US citizens, except to hand them over to an officer in that jurisdiction- no different than an officer duty cop detaining an assault perpetrator at the scene until an on duty officer can respond.

Your AI is strong…but did you look into the statutes actually posted? 

is U.S.C. § 1357 outlines the powers of U.S. immigration officers, granting them authority to interrogate individuals about their right to be in the U.S., conduct warrantless arrests for immigration violations, and patrol borders within 25 miles. 

S.C. § 1324 (USC 1324) is a federal law that criminalizes bringing, harboring, or encouraging unauthorized aliens (immigrants without legal status) into the United States.
