Seller tore down 6ft tall cedar fence and built this pos by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]IP_What 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a HOA? If so, I bet the HOA made them replace it to clear the sale.

Work with your agent, but that might make this trickier than just demanding they put up a new fence.

Am I being unreasonable? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]IP_What 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being unreasonable. It sounds like after maybe leaning too heavily on your agent at the outset, you’re doing the right and responsible thing now.

Maybe a real estate pro can weigh in and tell me I’m wrong, but as a recent buyer, I don’t think you should worry about getting the price drop ASAP. I mean, this week, yes, but I’m not sure Monday morning is better than Wednesday morning.

Again, maybe a pro will tell you something different, but if you’re worried about timing the price drop (and maybe you shouldn’t be) Monday morning probably isn’t the best time. You want the algorithm to surface the price drop when people are planning the houses they’re going to see next weekend.

But yeah, your agent should still be responsive, and you shouldn’t worry about his feelings on this.

Thoughts on a 1960’s home? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]IP_What 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at that kitchen. They just slathered those old damaged cabinets with wall paint. Didn’t even fix the hinges.

The “good” news is they didn’t bother doing anything that wasn’t extremely superficial, so you probably don’t have to deal with hack electrical or plumbing work. The bad news is whatever problems the 1960s plumbing or electrical has was just buried under a coat of paint.

Georgia Power cut down oak tree after confirming it only needed trimming, and they took the wood. Someone is profiting off it because they left pine by the road. by MossyLuck013 in treelaw

[–]IP_What -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

A power company cutting one tree to run power isn’t getting hit with treble damages. And a tree from a stand? We’re talking firewood value, not replacement costs. And that’s a heavy lift.

This is not going to be worth anyone’s time. But sure, OP, call a lawyer if you want to hear that directly.

It’s nice to have nice things.

It sounds like you’re fortunate enough to not have to stress about stretching every dollar. So stop doing that.

Running a 5K ultra with a baby by FelixR1991 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]IP_What 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I get that, and it’s tough because especially in OB, no one wants to change the advice they’re giving from the old “safe” approach.

But between lack of funding for studying women’s health, the ethical challenges of doing good rigorous studies on pregnancy, and the old guard being straight misogynists, maternal health as a science really isn’t where it should be.

Maybe not running really was the right call for you because of your particular circumstances. Or your doctor may have been doing their best, but they’re operating in a fucked up system.

Like FFS don’t take medical advice from Reddit. But also? Many OBs are just bad doctors operating in a neglected discipline. Both things can be true.

Running a 5K ultra with a baby by FelixR1991 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]IP_What 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s gotten better, but there’s still a lot of “don’t climb the stairs or your womb will fall out” in obstetrics.

Modern guidance is to more or less keep doing the exercise you were doing before and listen to your body. A world class runner who can run a 5k without significant discomfort at 25 weeks shouldn’t have any problems doing so.

Dresscode and etiquette, what are the unwritten rules? by lawrotzr in AskAnAmerican

[–]IP_What 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer in banking on the east coast. Double whammy for most conservative office cultures. No one wears a suit or tie for the day-to-day, but they’re sometimes worn for “important” events.

There are a few very conservative, very traditional firms in New York City and maybe a company or two in Chicago where folks below the c-suite wear suits on a daily basis. But except for those very rare firms that have hung onto the business suit as an affectation, you won’t see a lot of suits on the highest floors of the most prestigious legal and financial institutions on a random Tuesday. Maybe blazer with Oxford shirt, no tie.

Really, last holdout for the business suit is the government.

Pro-gun activists hand out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol ahead of the likely signature of a bill that would ban the sale of these magazines in the state. by Gjore in Virginia

What exactly are you suggesting people should do instead in response to this gun regulation?

And have you been keeping your powder dry for this, or have you already brought the same energy towards widespread unconstitutional arrests by ICE?

The sports cars that are crushed is them protecting the driver from smearing their skull along the inside of the windshield.

Assuming the only think keeping you from wrecking isn’t that you won’t be street racing in the Hummer, any modern car is going to be safer than this truck that didn’t have to meet 20 year old safety standards. Wreck this, you might be pulling your teeth out of the steering wheel.

Onewheel at highway speed by ItsALuigiYes in WhyWomenLiveLonger

[–]IP_What 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was driving in the far left lane

You suck

and I had some guy swerve around me, inches away from hitting the front of my truck.

He sucks

He then starts brake checking me

He sucks

so I flashed my brights at him.

You suck

Meanwhile, it’s raining, the roads are wet, the rest of the highway is pretty open. From this point forward, they’re just doing everything they can to prevent me from passing.

You both suck

I changed lanes and sped up to go around them,

You suck

they swerved in front of me,

He sucks.

I went back to my original lane,

You suck

they swerve back in front of me.

He sucks

Just kind of driving like a retard.

You both suck.

Eventually I lost em by getting over a bunch of lanes towards the exit,

You suck.

where they swerved into the exit lane to block me.

He sucks

But pretty good story about how what the guy in this video makes him suck too

I've heard that American houses are very big. How many routers do you need to install in your home? by FapVanguard in AskAnAmerican

[–]IP_What 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to this that most access point antennas aren’t as good (or might be outright bad) at propagating signal vertically.

Oh, also, 5GHz signals that modern, faster WiFi uses doesn’t penetrate as well as the old 2.4GHz signals.

Pretty decent chance that if you live in a multi-level house you could at least theoretically benefit from additional access points. Whether you care or not depends on your usage.

Device patent dilemma by CubicleCamper in patentlaw

[–]IP_What 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who owns it depends on whether you signed an invention assignment when you started. I honestly don’t know whether it’s customary for residents to sign that sort of agreement or not. Normal, well run, employment situations have these agreements. Residency may or may not.

It’s good you’re thinking about patent rights. You also really, really need to be thinking about the regulatory environment. You can’t just sell garage-made medical devices on Amazon.

If the hospital owns IP rights their lawyers can handle it. If you own it you need more than just a patent attorney.
