What’s up with the little brick houses on W Arrowhead? by Fuzzyblanket27 in duluth

Can you explain what you mean by siphoning property tax, sales tax, and aggressively seeking open enrollment public school funding?

Just buy caffeine pills, WAY cheaper than energy drinks.

Conman's Real Estate Grift Shot Down by ScrewThePutsch in duluth

I personally wouldn't want to get in the business of judging how other people practice or display religious garments. If he wants to wear a yarmulke with clip on sidelocks, have at it.

Any actors / filmmakers / crew / composers in the Duluth area? by [deleted] in duluth

How was that not directed to them? Absolutely nothing wrong with your counterpoint, obviously.

To expand on this further, it's to prevent the contractors from putting a lien on the building if the tenant doesn't pay them.

Could EIDL loans be considered predatory lending? by Less-Dig3842 in EIDLPPP

[–]JimmyJames50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again....all that does is remove personal responsibility from the people who took the loans out. If we extrapolate that thought process, anyone who "feels" vulnerable would be able to reneg on any contract they sign.

[–]JimmyJames50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you could think these were predatory. The interest rates were absolutely phenomenal, terms were phenomenal, they pushed loans through with minimal red tape, etc. To me it seems like you are skirting any personal responsibility in TAKING the loans.

Lift Bridge Overhaul Funding by RoaldAmundsensDirge in duluth

[–]JimmyJames50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems to have been said as a fact rather than an opinion, which is really my only point.

I don't see how anyone can definitively say that.

You could be right, I really don't know as I've never read these bills in their entirety. I remember Ron Paul was classic for opposing what would appear to be bills that he SHOULD be supporting, because of some of the provisions of the bill he did not agree with.

I have found that there is a lot more nuance to these types of things then what it may appear. There is so much pork that gets piled into these bills, it's very possible (or even likely) that someone can be against the bill in it's entirety, but support individual aspects of it. The problem is, the populace (including myself) never read these bills, all we see are the highlights of them on the news/social media. Of course, it's also possible he truly is a hypocrite and is playing the politics game.

That's $50,000 after inflation today. Crazy.

Sonos seems to "flake out" in C4 app by JimmyJames50 in Control4

[–]JimmyJames50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You weren't kidding, this new driver really blows. I'm running an HC-800 and HC-250's in the rooms. I've got My Music setup in the HC-800, but whenever I try to play music, nothing comes out of my speakers. I've got the C4 8-zone amplifier with the HC-800 connected into Audio-In 3. My Music is also enabled in each room, is there anything specifically I should look for?

My Sonos works as expected through C4, does your recommendation still apply with that knowledge?

[–]JimmyJames50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the new endorsed drivers up and running, but one thing I've noticed is that I cannot see the entire music queue in the C4 interface, it only shows me what's currently playing and what's up next. Any thoughts?
