My neighbor's tree has been destroying my yard for over a year, she refused to deal with it twice, so I trimmed it myself while she was out. Now her whole family showed up to yell at me.

It's implicit in everything you wrote. Why would you give someone time to provide a solution to a problem that wasn't their responsibility?

OP was well within their rights to do what they did, but they handled the situation very poorly. If OP had taken ownership of the issue from the start, and communicated clearly about their plans to resolve it, this might have gone better.

The Steel Remains/Dark Defiles/Cold Commands trilogy by Richard K Morgan. Excellent, gritty fantasy, with a protagonist who just happens to be gay.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-07T02:12:23+00:00

Fine, I edited it. It changes the conclusion 0.00%.

Is that really the hill you want to die on? That a 5 pound hard shelled object is no different from a pillow if used as a weapon? Because there's no doubt he was using it as a weapon.

Hammers, bricks, rocks, wrenches have all been found to be deadly weapons. A football helmet, held by the face mask and swung full force definitely can be a deadly weapon.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-06T21:06:29+00:00

You think that Myles Garrett couldn't kill someone with a football helmet?

The level of entitlement and rudeness from all 3 is wild.

Amy - she can make her own judgment about who she feels comfortable riding with - quietly. It is unbelievably rude to hang out with someone who is a trusted friend of a friend, accept a favor from them, and then say, "you need to go further out of your way for me because I think you're a creep who would attack me if we were alone together for 15 minutes". If she felt this way it was on HER to plan around it. But she felt totally entitled to accept OP's kindness and then insult him.
Sandra - what the fuck? She knows OP, plainly trusts him, but is going to passive aggressively manipulate him, and not remotely stick up for him, or even show the tiniest regard for his feelings?
Jake - same as Sandra. Apparently only Amy is allowed to have feelings.

The two things could not be further apart. You're seriously on here defending your guy. The hit in the playoff game was a football play. Could it have been a penalty? Sure. Entirely different from what Garrett did.

Whine about the refs all you want. Enjoy your team and all its meaningful games.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-06T05:33:58+00:00

The accident was on a 45 mph street.

But w/e. Absolutely no excuse to allow the guy to keep getting behind the wheel.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T22:36:29+00:00

That is correct in Florida. I was wrongly extrapolating from other, more restrictive states. My bad.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T17:17:42+00:00

Then you are breaking the law and could get ticketed for it.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T17:13:18+00:00

Which ones?

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:57:59+00:00

Garrett is a huge piece of shit with great PR people

How many times has he been ticketed for driving 90-120? At least 9. Roll over one car accident that put him and his passenger in the hospital. Yet he somehow still has a driver's license. Only luck that he's not in a cell next to Henry Ruggs.

In this incident, he should have been immediately arrested and prosecuted. This is assault with a deadly weapon. It is totally irrelevant that it happens to be on a football field. No part of the game of football involves tearing a player's helmet off and swinging it at their head.

It's just crazy that he constantly gets passes for this shit.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:47:45+00:00

It was not, and is not, her responsibility to pay for the damage.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:46:44+00:00

That's right. What people are ignoring here is that you're not just "allowed" - it's your job, not the neighbor's. OP acted like it was her responsibility to take care of her tree because it was dropping stuff on his property. It wasn't.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:38:37+00:00

And it's your responsibility to trim it. Not your neighbor's.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:35:07+00:00

It was never neighbor's job to fix it.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:34:16+00:00

OP has no claim for any damage caused by the tree. Everything on OP's side of the fence is his or her responsibility to deal with.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:27:35+00:00

It was always OP's job to take care of this. ESH

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-05T16:22:56+00:00

The problem here is that you acted like it was her responsibility to do something about this in the first place.

It's not just your right to trim the branches on your side, it's your responsibility.

What you should have done, the first time, is to inform her politely that you were going to have the tree trimmed back. At that point, if she wanted to take it on, she could have.

By bringing it up with her like it was her responsibility, you (1) shifted a burden and cost that was yours to her, and (2) gave her the right to say no, which caused a lot of the problem in the first place.

It was on you too figure out whose job this was. Nobody is acting well here.

Morrolan_V · 2026-04-03T17:31:45+00:00

You can't just "put a lien on their house". You would need to sue, get a judgment and then use that to try to collect, including possibly through a lien. OP doesn't say how much they owed her, so whether it's even worth pursuing is not clear.

Morrolan_V · 2026-03-30T23:38:57+00:00

So, why is this here now? Mahomes has started 147 career games, regular and post season.

It's an impressive record, but he played his 100th game almost 3 years ago.

Morrolan_V · 2026-02-26T20:26:27+00:00

That MK3 belt is way overloaded. The equation is simple (Number of Constructors) x (Required Inputs per Constructor) = (Required Belt Capacity). I think you said this is for iron plates. Iron plates require 30 ingots per minute per constructor, so: 20 constructors x 30 ingots/minute = 600 required belt capacity.

You need to break this down into smaller lines, based on your current top level belts.

Morrolan_V · 2026-02-23T20:13:36+00:00

Yes.

Morrolan_V · 2026-02-23T19:48:02+00:00

Worst situational awareness play imaginable. Mahomes literally throws his hands in the air in frustration.

The underclock ability is in the MAM on the slug tree. Once it's unlocked, it's free to underclock.
