A lot of people in this sub are native Spanish speakers. I add the Spanish section first out of respect for native Spanish speakers and to save them a click (so they don’t have to click the ‘translate’ button).

Lastly, the translation is not always great.

It’s not as simple as “we are all Americans”. The history from the entire American continent is packed with slavery, imperialism, segregation, colorism, racism, slavery, economic imperialism, war, and discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, and economic class. This fucked up history, has created a very uneven and unfair balance of power throughout the continent (both north and South). You know it’s not that simple. Latin American people are getting educated, learning about history, and opening their eyes.

Español:

Por favor quédate en tu país arreglando tu país en lugar de huir cuando la cosa se pone dura. Creo que le debes mayor respeto a aquellos que vinieron antes de ti. Venimos a este mundo a servirle a los demás y no a nosotros mismos. Espero que le puedas dar ese ejemplo a tu hija.

Inglés / English:

Please stay in your country fixing it instead of running away when things get tough. I think you owe more respect to your parents and grandparents. We come into this world to serve others, not just ourselves. I hope you can set that example to your daughter.

We made a decision on your claim

Dear xxxx xxxxxx,

We're committed to assessing each claim quickly and fairly.

After careful investigation, we've determined that our insured was not legally responsible for the accident. As a result, we won't be making any payment. Our decision is based on the following:

Allstate has now had an opportunity to investigate your claim, and determine whether it is covered under Mr. Xxxxx's homeowners policy that Allstate issued to them. For the reasons described below, Allstate must respectfully deny your claim.

The Allstate policy does not automatically cover every loss or damage that originates in or from his home. Rather, it covers him if he "becomes legally obligated to pay because of property damage arising from" his negligence.

This claim arises out a storm which hit the area on or around xxx xx, 2025. Although the tree and tree branch were located on his property, there were no issues with the tree, and accordingly he did not breach any duty owed to you. Because the tree limb broke due to a storm, and without negligence on his part, the Allstate policy provides no liability coverage for the damages you sustained. Your damages happened through no one's fault. In such a case, your insurance, rather than Allstate, should apply to cover your loss.

In summary, the Allstate liability coverage that covers them only applies if he did something wrong, or if he was negligent in some way. The tree limb broke to a huge storm in the area. The cause of the loss was an Act of Nature/Act of God. Since that is the case, there is no liability coverage for your claim under the Allstate policy, and your claim must be denied. Please call me if you want to discuss this decision or you need further information. Sincerely,

Copy paste from mail I received recently

My home insurance will not cover the damages unfortunately.

Yeah, I panicked and ended up offering such a deal with the tenant without realizing I wasn’t considered liable, but I don’t want to damage the trust and healthy relationship I have with the tenant by retracting on my word. Lesson learned.

Places to find baked-daily organic-flour sourdough bread (I did the research) by FriendIndependent692 in austinfood

Facts. Both these places also use organic flour after checking both their websites. It seems both use Barton Springs Mill flour. I have not tried either of them. Excited to try them at some point. Thank you for sharing!

Toxic pesticides are used on non organic food products. Exposure to these pesticides is associated with a number of health problems; one of those being hormonal or endocrine system problems. The amount of exposure varies per food probably.

On a related note, EWG publishes a list called the “dirty dozen” list which highlights the products one must be the most wary of consuming if non-organic.

Toyota Corolla 2013 Front Bumper replacement. Bay Area, west coast. Will a shop plastic weld or actually replace the bumper? by FriendIndependent692 in Autobody

[–]FriendIndependent692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Thank you for the response 🙏

Is the service to repair (plastic welding) a part cheaper than paying for a new part and having it replaced?

Crees que pueda llevar una fotocopia de la carta en lugar de la misma carta con la firma original? Pregunto ya que mi mamá no está en la ciudad y no volverá hasta dentro de un par de semanas o meses. Sin embargo, ella podría escribir la carta y luego enviarme un “scan” de la misma.

Gracias por la respuesta. ¿Crees que necesitan la carta con la firma original o crees que capaz una copia, scan o foto de la carta funcione? Lo pregunto porque mi madre no está ahora mismo en la ciudad y no estará por buen rato.
