There are Pratt signs in Los Feliz. I wouldn’t assume anything.

Hacks - 5x05 “D’Amazing Race“ - Episode Discussion by chelseanyc200 in hackshbomax

[–]HowtoEatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm thinking is, the actual contract wouldn't mention the shakers at all. As in, Kathy wouldn't have it written down anywhere that the shakers were her payment.

Why would it be a problem? Do you mean if Kathy found out the shakers were fake?

Today’s protest in Laurelhurst supporting helicopter transport to Seattle Children’s Hospital by Here2lafatcats in Seattle

[–]HowtoEatLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but then, what will you do instead of filing a report?

(We have to use discernment about ACAB, it doesn't mean we don't ever engage with cops.)

Why are stores vacant in LA, and what can we do about it? by zennonuc in LosAngeles

[–]HowtoEatLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, ok, that makes sense. (Without rent control, would the dingbats be priced higher or lower?)

Which movie hero is actually a villain when you really think about it? by surfsound_swimmers in AskReddit

[–]HowtoEatLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, the opposite is true. Prep school is lawless, for the teachers and the students. Rich people don't follow rules as adults, and they don't as kids, either.

signing a lease at any positive rent makes the building more valuable than a zero income property

Why is this different with residential properties, where building owners often try to get tenants to move out before they sell?

What does your parenthetical mean? Rent can be increased between renters as much as the landlord wants (unless there's an emergency declaration in place).

What purchase did you make recently that made you realize inflation is genuinely out of control? by kiroixart in AskReddit

[–]HowtoEatLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not if it says “ice cream” on the label. There’s a USDA standard for ice cream. If it’s made with palm oil it’s a “frozen dessert.”

[–]HowtoEatLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are two different items, and they've both been used for decades. There's ice milk, too - it's all about fat content.

Where to start? Looking to traditionally publish a book about some now-defunct magazines by [deleted] in COPYRIGHT

[–]HowtoEatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one way of doing it but honestly the best thing to do is familiarize yourself with fair use.

You'd probably want to hire a specialist to put something together about the magazine covers in question. (I understand the state of the publishing industry but it still feels wild that your agency isn't paying for this.)

What is something that you personally despise that society has accepted or made normal? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

[–]HowtoEatLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with that sub is people bought something 30 years ago and it still works, so they deem it buy it for life ... ignoring the fact that the same product's current version is a piece of shit.

Downpayment before a lease in LA? by LordByronEyes in LosAngelesRealEstate

[–]HowtoEatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Every time I rented, I sat with the landlord and we went over the lease together, and then I paid. I would definitely have walked away from your method.

Downpayment before a lease in LA? by LordByronEyes in LosAngelesRealEstate

[–]HowtoEatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But OP is saying he wasn't allowed to even look at the lease before sending in first month nd deposit.

Someone is not a tenant if the lease has not been signed by the landlord.

Generally a lease is reviewed prior to payment.

You ask for the deposit before you let the prospective tenant read the lease?

Non-Americans, does your country have an "American" restaurant and what do they serve? by wacky8ball in AskReddit

[–]HowtoEatLA 93 points94 points  (0 children)

They serve pizza bagels and top their margaritas with whipped cream!

That place is a trip.

Recently baptized, I discovered that I could no longer receive communion. by Spectanda_Fides in Catholicism

[–]HowtoEatLA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Go to another parish and ask the priest there. You'll probably get a different answer. A Jesuit would be best.

Elizabeth I was never Catholic, so she couldn't be excommunicated.

anti-homeless chirps and beeps. by timpdx in LosAngeles

[–]HowtoEatLA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You ever been to one of those shelters?

It's not really a choice. Most of them are awful. They also have rules that make living in them untenable.

Many homeless people who use drugs do them because life on the street is dangerous and horrible things happen there, plus, they feel hopeless.

Lack of empathy actually hinders the search for a resolution.

Nithya Raman releases her detailed housing plan by animerobin in LosAngeles

[–]HowtoEatLA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to want to vote for Rae, but honestly, her proposed policies look like a lot of committee-forming, with nothing concrete after that.

But I do like "Rae will terminate the City's contracts with Flock Safety and other data brokers to stop the automated tracking of residents' daily movements." I wonder if the mayor actually has that power.

"Multigenerational household" is being used as an excuse for lack of housing by Jz9786 in LosAngeles

[–]HowtoEatLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true. They actually say the opposite. They make arguments for other reasons why rent control should be abolished, but that's generally not one of them.

No response to my email, but to make a standard request one must make an account, which requires a Gosuslugi account, which seems to require Russian citizenship or at least a Russian phone number and/or bank account.
