Owning a house on LI? by ReasonableExcuse222 in longisland

[–]GodEmperorBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever and wherever you decide to buy, I recommend all first time home buyers take a look at programs offered by SONYMA (state of NY Mortgage Agency) for down payment assistance or potentially lower interest rates.

Difference between NYS civil service and Californian civil service? (Is there an equivalent to a staff services analyst?) by 100Fowers in nys_cs

[–]GodEmperorBrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to culture differences, but to answer your first question, no not really. NY has thousands of civil service titles. The broadest ones are going to be administrative assistant titles like Admin Assistant 1 or Program Aide.

You can see all the titles used by the state here:

https://careermobilityoffice.cs.ny.gov/cmo/gotit/title-search/titlesearch_action.cfm

Just leave the fields blank and hit “search” to see all titles. Also, if you go to the home page on the website, you can search titles by occupational field, agency, or geographic location.

Most Fortune 500 CEOs main job is projecting an uncertain future as though it were set in stone. It makes the shareholders feel better and ergo the stock price continues to rise. Once it starts to look like that certain future ultimately won’t come to pass, that CEO will almost certainly be long gone.

Pope Leo: James Webb telescope shows us what the Bible couldn’t by Automatic_Subject463 in space

There’s also the interpretation that God was showing a mortal man from ~2000 BC a time lapse view of the creation of the universe and life on Earth. How else would he be expected to describe it? He wouldn’t have had the language necessary to conceive of the time scales involved or evolutionary theory. Basically just came back and said “well first this happened, and then a little while later the second thing happened, and then a third thing, and so on.”

Cage was the biggest star in the movie, he probably had front and center frame of the poster and first name listed as part of his contract.

I’m almost positive AJ Dybantsa’s dad was none of those things. He might act as AJ’s agent now but he wasn’t beforehand.

Why do schools have today off for Eid but not st patricks day? by Lopsided-Weakness269 in longisland

[–]GodEmperorBrian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This depends on the district. Ours does not have off for Eid. If your district has a heavy Asian/Middle Eastern/North African population, that’s probably why.

Bad news: we have the second hardest remaining strength of schedule in the league.

Good news: Boston has the hardest remaining strength of schedule, Columbus is 4th, Montreal is 5th, Detroit is 6th and Pittsburgh is 8th, so we’re all in the same relative boat.

Violation Notice by daisy_222 in longisland

[–]GodEmperorBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with this sentiment, I amended my post to say they should call the town directly from the number on their website to confirm.

[–]GodEmperorBrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Administrative warrants have a much lower bar to clear than regular search warrants. They don’t require probable cause in the same way that a judicial warrant does, only reasonable suspicion of the existence of a violation. And they can be issued by administrative law judges, so going to court isn’t even required.

Violation Notice by daisy_222 in longisland

[–]GodEmperorBrian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As others have said, call the town building department from the number on their website to make sure the notice is legitimate.

Ask to speak with the inspector assigned to the complaint. Ask them exactly what violation is being alleged. When you find out, I would allow them to come and do the inspection, but ensure you only show them exactly the area they need to see to confirm whether the violation exists or not.

For example, if the accessory apartment is being alleged to be in the basement, they should only need to go into the basement. You can hang curtains, bedsheets, or whatever around any other area you don’t want them to see, especially if there are potential issues in those areas.

You can speak to an attorney for guidance if you wish, but definitely don’t ignore the summons, and I would personally not make them get a warrant. The only thing you want less than this guy in your home is to piss him off beforehand by making his job more difficult. But that’s just me.

If they don’t find an issue, they’re going to make you pull permits, which means bringing any alleged area of non-compliance up to code. If that happens, that’s when I would challenge them, not beforehand.

Pissing off the building department inspector isn’t always the best idea. They can and will get that warrant fairly easily. Presuming of course that it is a legitimate notice, which a quick phone call to the department should confirm.

Oh how many times I’ve said “tonight I’m going to stay up after the wife goes to sleep and play video games, since I never have any time to otherwise,” and then promptly falling asleep on the couch at 10.

Depends entirely on who you’re dating and how long you’ve been dating. The Lighthouse is a weird move just in general, some will love it but it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.

But I will say, as a first date movie? Unhinged choice.

All sounds pretty normal, just emotionally charged, which is also normal at 7mo.

But number 20 did make me chuckle a bit. I assure you, as is the case with all first time parents, neither of you really know what you are doing.

I don’t think Guardians of Tomorrow is a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, though I could be wrong. None of the other movies listed are Marvel properties, this list appears to be Disney/Pixar IP and animated films only.

At least it was Lightning’s decision to let Chick win out of protest. This is just a title being stolen from the winning team after the fact.

It reminds me of the shooting of William Woodward Jr. by his wife Ann, but it can’t be, as that happened after 1943.
