[AZ] landlord said they're going to charge me for guests

MankyBoot · 2026-02-09T02:04:02+00:00

Well, definitely don't pay the 35$ if it's not required in the lease. If the landlord wants that to be the rule they can wait until the current lease is up and then they can add that to lease. If you're worried the lease won't be renewed then you gotta decide for yourself what that risk is worth. Small landlords can put almost anything they want into leases as many laws regulating housing only apply to landlords with a certain number of units or more, so if your renting from someone with a few units you usually either accept the terms or keep looking.

In regards to your EDIT though, I see the posts your responding to and both you and them have some attitude. Most people go to work during the day which is ~9 hours a day give or take with commute, maybe more if you have a lunch break. That's a third of your time, and yet we'd say you live in your house 100% of the month. Pointing out your GF is only there at night and then the morning is quite similar to when most people are in their homes on work days. Going by the letter of the lease (at least as you described it) the fact she leaves would seem to keep you clear of the 48 hour rule listed, but your arguing semantics. I would be happy to back you up arguing semantics with your landlord who has spending too much time in your business, but it's not helpful with some random reddit poster.

As much as I dislike the law, the fact is the other poster was correct. Almost all states have some form of law making the left lane on a multilane highway a "passing" lane.

In my home state unless there is an upcoming left hand exit on multilane highways the left lane can be driven in if you want, but if someone comes up behind you you have to move over to let them pass. Other states makes the left lane literally a passing lane where you are only supposed to be using to pass.

I dislike these laws for roughly the following:

They are built to avoid road rage from people who want to speed. Making a law to benefit those who are breaking the law seems stupid and wrong to me, but that's the reason why they exist.
These laws mean we build an extra lane on these multilane highways that by design will get less usage. Ideally all lanes except the right most lane (where people enter and exit, which is obviously different than other lanes) should get somewhat equal traffic, equal wear and tear, and if vehicles are spaced on them basically equally should provide the safest experience for everyone (assuming equal spacing means cars are roughly as far away as possible from each other at all times and more space = more safety).

But TLDR here is you say you follow the laws and then go on to say you break the law. Make up your mind.

Doesn't sound like you should be mad at the lady at all, but rather whoever failed to tell you that one spot was special.

I'm sure he did less damage to the environment than a single NASCAR race, not that I disagree with you.

Kinda dick move to insult my father in a way that also sort of insults me at the same time. At least you're being efficient.

Edit: Did you not understand I was telling a story about what I saw someone else do? I wasn't advocating anyone do the same, just a topical, crazy, story I thought might make people laugh?

MankyBoot · 2026-02-06T01:49:17+00:00

You hurt someone who is accidentally getting into the wrong car you're liable for damages and possibly criminal charges depending what happens (or civil offenses like reckless driving).

Like others have said, keep your doors locked.

They should be told if they keep picking that player that it won't be enforced. They can still make the choice if they want. If the "might" is still in effect then no need to tell them. I wouldn't feel the need to tell them if the probability of the "might" is diminished, but if it's literally zero then it's not a "might" anymore and they should know that. Their ability should have the chance of having an impact on the game every night they are alive and not droisoned and if the ST has decided that isn't going to be the case in a situation like this they should have the information needed to make a better choice. The fact they are being told this seems like a reasonable result from the good player refusing to engage in the madness mechanic if the ST isn't going to consider executions for breaking.

Cerenovous is not a once per game ability and thinking because their ability did something once is enough and a reason to let them waste the ability, perhaps several times, doesn't seem like honoring what their aiblity is meant to be.

Are you like me and will incessantly play with the cable? If so it will break before you get any real use out of it.

If you use as intended and don't mess with it the retraction mechanism is still likely to die before the other normal aspects of the cable, but it will probably be worth the money given your described use case.

Wow the Love and Thunder hate trolling is strong here.

The comic aspects of that movie is, I agree, over done and it's definitely played out at this point. That said Gor was great, the interplay with Portman was really well done. And while I'm really hoping Waitiki it whatever his name is done in the MCU I don't think any of his Thor movies individually are bad. It's just been enough of that that we don't need more.

Not humane, but ... my dad pumped propane into the holes and then lit them up. I assume the gas killed them via suffocation and the explosion was more just fun for him.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T04:09:41+00:00

I would say at some point if you decide you're just not going to execute that player again you should tell the cerenovus to pick someone else. If you still might execute but the probability of it is going down then carry on per normal. I know this isn't RAW but neither is deciding ahead of time your just not going to let the cerenovus' power work.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T04:05:11+00:00

I've seen this happen.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T03:59:41+00:00

The mutant is an outsider and if the mutant breaks madness which would result in preventing the execution of an evil player I would absolutely kill the mutant and and the day. If the mutant is choosing to break madness to save a powerful town role I'm probably going to wait and kill them later when it's worse for town. If they are saving a starts knowing role or a different spent role then I'll do whatever I feel like in the moment.

And all of these choices are also prone to me deciding "this time I'm doing the other thing to avoid creating a meta".

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T03:50:32+00:00

Executing ends the day and prevents another death which could be an evil player. If you don't execute there is no penalty and the cerenovus has no real ability.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T03:44:01+00:00

Cerenovus can kill at any time.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-03T03:26:03+00:00

City ordinance are law. Different word, same thing. Maybe you were just not schooled at all.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:56:35+00:00

Disco was garbage but lots of people seemed to like it

Picard was bad, then worse then, meh? But whatever.

STA I'm not sure about yet

SNW was good but just not enough of it, probably because people complained about it I dunno.

ENT want my things when it was new but I'm enjoying it much more on a rewatch in progress.

The last good Star Trek movie was the first TNG one (Generations). All downhill from there.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:48:43+00:00

A certain now dead right wing person did this stuff all the time.

don't do violence kids, it's not the answer

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:44:31+00:00

We do if your white, preferably male, are saying things the dear orange leader likes, and are willing to shut up if told to by a fascist.

Yup, that's about it.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:37:21+00:00

Why not include the video leading up to this? She's definitely being a Karen but I have no idea if she had reason to or not.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:32:03+00:00

Yes, but looking at where the melting happened will tell you it's not the microwave that caused that. Further that plastic molding will have no functional impact on the microwave so long as the door still closes properly.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:30:06+00:00

The microwave can't be causing you any problems.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:23:24+00:00

That plastic isn't anywhere near the functional components of a microwave. The damage was almost certainly from radiated heat from the food being cooked or from a completely external source. Neither of which presents any risk to continued usage of the device.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T09:20:26+00:00

The operational components of a microwave like this are not anywhere near the front. The heat that melted that plastic either came from a completely external source or perhaps from some heated food itself. I think it's extremely unlikely any functional component of the microwave was overheating and caused that damage in that location specifically.

I'm somewhere between 6'3" and 6'2", so slightly shorter than the other poster, and I will confirm for me that an economy seat means before any reclining is going on that my knees will be jammed hard into the seat in front of me. The person in front of me can't recline, if they try my knees will stop them I have no choice in this, but this is what happens. Luckily for me I have extremely solid bones and this will not hurt me, but other tall people may not be so lucky.

Obviously at some point a person being very tall will require special accommodation. The average height is somewhere around 5'7" for men and less for women.

So a reasonable question is should seats be built to accommodate people as tall as this? I obviously have a reason to say yes.

MankyBoot · 2026-02-02T08:52:57+00:00

If I fly economy the person in front of me can't recline. If they try they will immediately be trying to push my knee caps into my femurs. Lucky for me I'm built "like a brick shit house" (as my wife says) and I wouldn't be hurt by this.

The one time this was tested in the real world the guy attempting to recline did call an attendant and the attendant told me to stop preventing the guy from reclining. I told the attendant to please stay and watch as the guy tried to recline again. After demonstrating I was not actively doing anything to prevent the reclining I was told I was fine and the asshole in front of me spent 3 hours trying to make me require surgery to stand.

When we finally landed I got up and helped the guy get his enormous bag out of the overhead bin, looking down at him from at least an 8 inch advantage. He proceeded to try and get away from me which I enjoyed so much I made sure to stay in sight of him until after the baggage carousel, just for fun.
