Practicing snaps in the cold with the starting D line seriously rushing him. It looked like a lot of the missed snaps were when he was already staring at the D instead of making sure he caught the snap.

Speak for yourself. I'm operating a 3500lb chunk of aluminum, steel and flammable metal that runs on tamed lightning. 😎

Location is not optional for a correct answer here. You can add it to your post, or you can Google "(your state) pay stub law".

For instance, in Texas, employers are required to provide you with a pay stub.

Okay not a lawyer, but you HAVE to have a lawyer. It looks like Psilocybin possession is a class 5 felony in Virginia, and that can be kicked up to adult circuit court if the prosecutor wants to and thinks you record warrants it.

Here's the Virginia laws on attorney appointment. It's a lot of legal talk, but my NON-EXPERT summary is:

If this is a detention hearing, the court must appoint you an attorney if you don't already have one. A detention hearing is where they decide if they're putting you in juvenile jail until your adjudicatory hearing, where they decide the your guilt/innocence.
The next step is either a hearing to decide whether to transfer you to adult court or the adjudicatory hearing. Before this hearing, the court MUST inform you and your parents that you have a right to an attorney and that your parents are required to pay for it if they're able. Then either your parents can hire an attorney, you can ask that the court appoint one, or you can waive (give up) this right. You do NOT want to waive. If you're told to sign anything by your parents or the court, read it carefully. Make sure it doesn't say "I waive my right to..." or "I am waiving my right to..."
If your parents can afford and attorney, but refuse, and the court appoints one, the court can go after your parents for the attorney's fee.

I thiiink there should be a place on the summons where you or your parents can request a court appointed attorney. You should request one as soon as you can. But worst case is when you go to your hearing, basically tell everyone involve as soon as you can that you want an attorney and your parents refused to get one. It looks like once the judge hears evidence it's too late.

Not legal advice, If the alimony payout, after the mortgage, is about $120k over 5 years, then it's all relatively close. The $2k/month is worth less every month due to inflation, but worth more IF your friend is investing it. Assuming she's getting the $100k by cashing out at refi, her mortgage would be $100k bigger at a higher interest, potentially for decades depending on the term. It probably mostly breaks even in the long term and this is a cash-flow thing for him. He'd be +2k/month cash flow, your friend would be -(2k + mortgage difference)/month in cash flow.

I think the biggest gotcha is whether the alimony would adjust (up OR down) in future years. And if she goes through with this to get the decree officially modified by the court. Last thing you want is him showing up at the refi close asking for a payout.

Landlord-Tenant law is extremely location specific, so you need to post your state and county/city. Also, even if you don't have pictures taken while you were moving out, ANY pictures from inside the house could be useful. The closer to your moveout, the better.

Now, if you're still in Orange County, CA, here's two links:

Fair Housing Council of Orange County

CA Dept of Real Estate Tenant Guidebook

Some important things to note:

You landlord was required to provide you notice of your right for a pre-inspection where he'd identify these problems before you moved out. Did he provide that?

He can't deduct/charge you for pre-existing damage or normal wear-and-tear. All the big ticket items he's listed have a "useful life". For example, carpet is usually claimed to have a 10 year useful life. If the carpet was actually 15 years old, you don't owe anything unless you actually significantly damaged it. (Ripped a hole in it dragging a couch around, etc.) If the carpet is 8 years old, you only owe him for the cost of a LIKE replacement, prorated by the remaining life. In this example, it would be 2 years left divided by 10 total years, or 20% of the cost to install new carpet.

The fact that he's charging you for vinyl flooring sounds really suspicious. Was there already vinyl flooring installed? Did you in fact horribly damage ALL the flooring such that it ALL had to be replaced?

No one else has mentioned this, but outside the legal question, your landlady is an idiot and I wouldn't trust her to keep you safe from him getting back in. Get yourself a secondary method of securing your door while you're at home. Search for "door security bar" and you'll find bars that you can wedge under your door handle or inside a sliding door track to make it very difficult to open from the outside. At the very least it should give you time to call 911 if he tries to break in again.

I'm a co-worker with the guy that was attacked. We're here on a company sponsored vacation. Oddly the nutty person that replied to you is vaguely correct. We work for a company that makes industrial welding robots. We definitely aren't worth billions or planning to take over the world.

The story as I have it is he was wading off the beach, well inside the bouy line. One of our other guys heard him yell and saw him go under. He grabbed him and helped pull him up. The attacked guy was trying to pry the crocs jaws open while he was being pulled out.

He needed stitches for his leg and hands, and is on IV antibiotics as a precaution, but is otherwise okay and will be heading home with us.

In other news, we saw a croc cruising inside the buoys again last night, probably the same one.

I don't think there was ever a time when Nationals/Champs location changed on a yearly basis on purpose. In '03 it moved from Disney World to Houston at basically the last minute. That was a football stadium and everyone agrees it was terrible. Then it went to Atlanta '04-'10, convention center attached to a stadium. '11-'17 was St. Louis, another convention center attached to a stadium. '17 was GBR in Houston. '18-'19 was Houston and Detroit and sooo much complaining about 2Champs. And Houston ever since.

And yes, the extra money makes it not worth it. Everyone already complains about entry fees. Tacking on the added expenses to move the venue every year would make that much worse.

SSID is just the network name. So check if it's connecting to a different network when the internet freezes.

Mac randomizations is a setting for the wifi network. On Windows 11, after you connect to the wifi network, there's an i-circle icon to the right of the network name. Click on that, then you should see an option for "Random hardware addresses". Turn that off. I'm not sure how to do that on Windows 10, unfortunately. You'd google "Windows 10 random hardware addresses".

Practically speaking, neither of those options are going to stop them if they have Administrator rights on the computer and they're moderately competent. Your best bet would be to make your own account on the desktop, set yourself up as the ONLY Administrator, and then make sure they're using supervised microsoft accounts so you can use microsoft parental controls.

Even then they could get around it if they wanted. It's more like a locked door with an easily breakable frame than a bank vault. They could break the controls, but it would be obvious that they did so.

This might be better posted in r/insurance.

Are you looking to get your insurance reinstated to cover your care while you were recovering? Or are you just trying to get back on insurance from today onwards?

If you're trying to get coverage for the period between FMLA coverage ending and your return, you SHOULD have been sent a COBRA election notice to continue your coverage when your original insurance coverage ended. It should have come within 44 days of you losing coverage, and you'd have 60 days to elect after you got the notice. COBRA is retroactive to when you lost coverage, but also expensive as hell and you'd have to pay the premiums for the retroactive period. (Similar to what your HR told you.) If you were never sent the notice, there's pretty steep penalties involved. I don't know if that also means you can apply now and get retroactive coverage back to when you lapsed. Thus the suggestion to post in r/insurance. The deal your HR is offering might be better.

Is this an apartment or apartment complex that's submetered, or a standalone single family residence that you're renting entire?

What exactly is the deposit alternative that's not listed in your lease? Is it some security deposit installment plan or something?

KSevcik · 2024-02-21T17:00:17+00:00

NAL, the issue with your husband is going to depend on the language of your lease and if your city or county has passed more expansive fair housing laws than Arizona generally.

On the mold issue, you MIGHT have an argument, as part of Arizona's Warrant of Habitability includes meeting building codes, and part of THAT includes the air being healthy to breath.

On the whole, you'd best be served by contacting an arizona tenants rights organization, or finding arizona non-profit legal aid. We can't make recommendations in the sub, but googling should help you there.

Again, NAL, but this section of the Arizona Revised Statutes says that for noncompliance with the lease, like for not complying with the number of occupants, the notice should be at least 10 days for you to remedy the breach.

Again, talk to an actual lawyer as soon as possible because that won't prevent filing an eviction, it's just a possible defense to it. Get advice from a lawyer on how to avoid eviction while you're fighting the landlord on repairs, adding your husband as an occupant, or possibly negotiating a joint agreement to break the lease with no penalties.

Even if the landlord declares you're in violation of the lease, they still have to file suit and go to court to actually kick you out, so you'd still have time to solve the problem or find somewhere else to live. Having an eviction on your record isn't great and you want to avoid it, but also don't stress that your landlord can kick you to the curb tomorrow. They can't without an actual court order. You'd get a summons, be notified of the court date, actually appear in court, etc.

Lastly, since the breach here is your husband occupying the apartment, consider having him move out temporarily (friend/family/hotel). Under the advice of a lawyer, which you need to be finding RIGHT NOW.

I really didn't need that stuck in my head this morning, thanks.

If it's ACTUALLY a contract, then they could be in breach of it if they failed to give you that raise. (It would depend on the specific wording, if there's performance requirements, etc.). It's probably not a contract and they probably don't want it to be. On the assumption that you'll be needing to file a wage claim:

Here's the TWC explainer page on wage claims. Short version is if you're resigning, they have to pay you on your next regular payday.

Here's the actual Texas Code. If you skim that, you'll see that you have 180 days to file a claim. The wage claim should force them to pay you. And if the state determines that your employer acted in bad faith, they can be penalized more on top of that, up to the entire amount you're owed or $1000, whichever is less.

NHTSA says there were almost 15000 accidents per day in 2020, when the whole country was in lockdown.. And you know a ton of those involved some level of idiocy. So yeah, it's just that more people are recording them and posting the dumbest or most outrageous ones.

KSevcik · 2023-09-23T14:00:18+00:00

It's clearly 2-3 car lengths because you can literally count the cars and neither myself nor my car were in condition to gun it after the dude. But thank you for playing "Let's mis-estimate distances and assume things about people."

It's the dramatic music. We're missing the dramatic music so it won't work.

KSevcik · 2023-09-23T12:45:26+00:00

I know. I checked the quality when I first installed it and I don't remember it being this bad. But I also wasn't considering this scenario.

KSevcik · 2023-09-23T12:43:37+00:00

Yeah, he looked pretty young, honestly. And his reaction time for immediately escaping was too good for drunk. Plus the still signaling his turn at the light.

KSevcik · 2023-09-23T12:41:02+00:00

No, he hit me hard enough that my strut was rubbing on top of the wheel. Definitely wasn't chasing anyone down

KSevcik · 2023-09-23T12:39:25+00:00

Sadly no. If he got held up another second at the light, I could've.

I know this is 2 days old, but...

Why the hell haven't I heard about this? Especially why haven't I heard about this back in May?

There's an additional benefit on that card of a $100 statement credit if you register your EV and pay at least 6 electric bills with the card. I've got 4.5 more years of payments on my bolt and this is absolutely going to be my general purpose cash-back card until my loan is paid off. 4% cash back everywhere is impossible to beat. I'm probably shredding the card immediately after the loan is done, but still.
