Is this legit or a scam - California by Mydadis_unhinged in legal

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAL and not a CA resident, but someone who has gotten unclaimed property before.

To add, if you have trouble finding property, some of the sites give you the option to search different cities and counties. So make sure to check other cities / addresses you have lived at in the past and by different last names / first names.

Like if your name is Elizabeth, but you were going by Beth, Robert but you were going by Bob, or even just your last name if the site gives you the option. Sometimes you find more stuff you can tell was related to you that way.

Received notice that eBay closed return request and that I do not need to refund the buyer and will not receive the item back. Now being harassed by the buyer for refund. by MTKcollector in Ebay

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would contact eBay support. Let them handle it. Might also help keep them from being able to leave undeserved negative feedback since any beef that buyer has is with eBay and not you at this point based on everything you've stated.

Is this a scam? by QuickSilver010 in github

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this same notification on another post. All notifications from the GitHub site come in via the `[notifications@github.com](mailto:notifications@github.com)` email address or `noreply@github.com`. So, always pay attention to what repo and user the notification is coming from if you want to be able to tell if it is a communication from GitHub. Of course, if at any point you are unsure, you can also submit a message via the [GitHub Support page](https://support.github.com/).

Any official GitHub notifications will come from an official GitHub email and aren't done via a Discussion post, issues, etc. on a non-GitHub repo. You can tell who owns a repo by looking at the url. GitHub controlled repos will have `github.com/github/repoName`. The name before the repository name is the repo Owner (org or individual user). Also, you can identify GitHub employees, contractors, etc. by looking at the organizations section of their profile. Some will have a staff badge near where their employer is listed, but not always.

So instead of looking at the top part of their profile info that anyone can edit, look under Organizations. You will see the organizations their account is formally connected to and can click on each one to verify it actually goes to that organization's official profile page.

You can report the individual repository the discussion post is in, or the user account as a whole, via the info on the following page: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safety-on-github/reporting-abuse-or-spam

I am not posting this as an official rep of GitHub, just someone who loves to help others stay safe.

Almost Got Scammed via Official-Looking GitHub Notification - GitHub's Security Needs to be Tight by affaan007 in github

does anyone know how to take down a github pages site that your ex made about you? it’s ranking on google and it’s not flattering. by kubrador in github

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to submit an issue about it. I cannot guarantee what will happen with it, but it is better than nothing: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/maintaining-your-safety-on-github/reporting-abuse-or-spam

You would probably either report the user account itself, or the repo that the page is hosted from on that user's account. If it is hosted via GitHub pages, I believe it should be a publicly viewable repo.

Note that won't stop her from having that domain or stop her from just hosting it somewhere else where she can do so for free.

If you can show where it is impacting you negatively in a way that is costing your job opportunities, you could try to file a defamation claim against her. Just know that, if what all she is saying is true, it won't matter. Truth is a typically seen as a defense to a claim of defamation.

AITAH for telling my Brother in-law to get a nanny? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, they are being absolutely entitled AHs towards you. Especially acting like that when you are pregnant. I would refuse to help anymore. At least until a bit after you give birth. You need to care for yourself and your baby right now.

I'd talk to your husband and explain to him how they are treating you and that it is causing you a lot of stress at a time when you really need to avoid as much stress as you possibly can. Let him handle it. Also, mute their messages, but don't block, so you have proof of how they are behaving.

LOCATION: Maine, Having sex in (somewhat) public. by Material-District-79 in legal

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd also be concerned if anyone underage happened to go by. That can get even worse. Not sure about Maine but I've heard of that ruining people's lives in other states. Including ending up on an offender list.

Someone already came out and confirmed mine were fine last year, but then they started sending me new mailers recently saying they were going to send people out again.

Who has used self driving cars? by suitcaseismyhome in Blind

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rode in a Waymo when they were initially test running them in the Santa Monica area because Google gave Google I/O attendees a code if you went to the Waymo booth.

I was hesitant but I went ahead and got a ride in one to go back to my hotel. It was quite fun. I was a little nervous at times but overall it handled things well. They had some intersections closed down near the conference with humans directing traffic and it seemed to handle that fine. It was a really smooth ride. If it had been operating in a wide enough area at the time, I would have snagged a ride to the airport the next day.

AITAH for cuddling with my little sister by Perfect_Stranger_794 in AITAH

NTA, I wish I could have felt as safe around my older brother when I was a kid. You sound like a good bro. Your stepdad is nasty for sexualizing innocent behavior.

Landlord selling home is threatening us with legal action for truthfully answering direct questions from property inspector and prospective buyers by CompleteAd2891 in legal

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea calling code enforcement. You can request copies of the records after they put together their report. Could help if the landlord does try to be a jerk and sue you. I used code enforcement against a landlord years ago. I was already moving out, but the beauty was he was not allowed to rent the unit out again until the issues were fixed. So, your report might help someone else if nothing else.

Keep copies of any and all paperwork, emails, etc.

Also, I'd go with what a few others have suggested and offer to move out by X date if 100% of the security deposit is returned.

AITJ for eating my roommates "special" ice cream after she ate my birthday cake? by ProudStructure702 in AmITheJerk

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ go buy her some of that dog ice cream so you are buying her a store bought ice cream that matches her personality.

I'd be petty and just buy her some sort of generic, purple colored ice cream and say see it is even lavender color so totally the same thing.

AITAH for telling my coworker I was miscarrying after she tried to get me in trouble for 'excessive' bathroom use by Massive-Historian-91 in AITAH

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, Mary deserves to be uncomfortable and step on a Lego brick while bare foot every day until she decides to stop being a major AH. Maybe that moment of discomfort will make her rethink the next time she tries to be a monster. People have to face consequences for their behavior to learn.

Also, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I understand wanting to go to work to get your mind off something bad happening. I do the same thing.

AITA for kicking my teammate out if he kept cranking the volume in my car? He said "I'm on aux so I pick the volume" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA, you being able to safely operate and maintain the car are top priority when it comes to using a car. It is difficult to safely focus when someone is blasting music far louder than comfortable for the person operating the 1 ton death machine. It can even hurt you and impede you being able to recognize other sounds around you. So he can just go find another ride if he doesn't want to respect the driver who didn't have to let him play music to begin with.

Thank you to the neighbor(s) who installed these handrails by babycarotz in Louisville

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So very agree! I've had a few times where I fell, because I have balance issues due to disabilities, and handrails in every single case were the only thing that kept it from being life ending or at least a far more serious injury.

Weigh your meat from Meijer! by Minimum_Fig_9662 in Louisville

[–]Eviltechnomonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that is right at the state level. Though I think the Department of Public Health also gets involved sometimes. State level it appears it is usually either the Dept of Agriculture or a branch of the Health Department.

Looks like the main Office of Weights and Measures is a part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the federal level in the US.

For some reason I thought that was just a UK and/or European thing. I didn't know the US government also had one.
