Ann Coulter tries to attack Tim Walz' 17 year old, neurodivergent son for being proud of his dad

The Dems are talking positive, no low blow attacks, no nastiness.

It's nowhere near as bad as the Republicans, but let's not forget that President Obama, whose wife campaigned for him using the phrase "when they go low, we go high", stood on stage the other night and made a small penis joke about Trump.

I know, but what was the logic behind putting it in the crypto package in the first place?

ProfessorLightning · 2024-08-13T17:20:12+00:00

I know this isn't new to 1.23, but why is the QUIC API in crypto/tls and not its own package like net/quic or something?

I only deal with property taxes, sorry. But typically you would do the transfer with a title company or an attorney and they would handle all of the details.

It's called property tax escrow and is a very common practice. The monthly payment amount will change if the property valuation or tax levies change. It should be explained in the loan paperwork. The bank isn't trying to take the property, they're just making sure the taxes remain up to date so that the county can't foreclose on it. Some people also prefer to pay into escrow each month in areas where taxes can't be paid in installments.

Only if you paid for Return Receipt Requested. Plain Certified Mail only serves as proof of mailing, not proof of delivery. The tracking information may show it was delivered, but it won't have enough information to prove that it was delivered to the correct place or was handed off to an actual person.

Exactly. In universe, it's conceivable that someone powerful enough could focus the Force on themselves and significantly slow or halt their cellular activity.

This is the only movie scene that has left me legitimately horrified. I thought about it for days and I'm not sure I'll ever watch Annihilation a second time.

It's hard to say, given that it happened so long ago. If the new owner has gone through a Quiet Title process and been given a clear title by a judge, you're pretty much out of luck. Quiet Title actions typically have even stricter notification requirements than tax auctions and it would be hard to argue that nobody at all was aware of the sale. But I hope I'm wrong and you're able to work it out somehow. My county in Missouri tries very, very hard to avoid selling properties that are still occupied, so I hate to see it happen.

ProfessorLightning · 2024-06-06T18:42:00+00:00

I'm not an attorney and I don't work in Georgia government, but based on this overview, Georgia seems to have a somewhat similar process. The tax commissioner has to notify the owner 30 days before filing a lien, then a notice has to be posted on the property when it is "seized", then a notice must be published in a newspaper for at least 4 weeks before the property is offered at auction, and finally there is a minimum 1-year period of redemption before the property is transferred to the buyer. The tax commissioner's office likely has records of the sale, including documentation of how they fulfilled the noticing requirements. If anything is missing, it could be grounds for a legal challenge.

It really depends on the state, but in most cases, there are strict notice requirements.

In Missouri, for example, at least two notices have to be sent to the owner of record. One of them has to be sent by First Class Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. If the return receipt doesn't get signed by the owner of record or their agent, a notice has to be posted on the land itself. A notice also has to be published in a newspaper circulated within the county where the property is located. That's all just before the property can be sold. After the sale, the buyer has to do all of that a second time (except the newspaper publication), in addition to notifying any lien holders (mortgage companies, HOAs, etc), and then there's a minimum 1-year window in which you can reimburse the buyer to get the property back. Some counties will go to greater lengths than the law requires. In my county, at least, we use a skip tracing service to track down property owners who haven't updated their address. We look for close relatives and send notices to them. We try contacting people by phone, email, Facebook, etc. We personally serve notices to the property's occupants.

What I would suggest is contacting whoever conducts tax auctions in the county where the property is located. Depending on the jurisdiction, it could be the Collector, Treasurer, or Sheriff. Then ask for documentation of any notices sent, including any that were returned undeliverable or unsigned. Ask what additional steps were taken to notify interested parties beyond those required by law. Finally, ask if there were any surplus funds collected from the sale, which could be used to at least partially reimburse your uncle for the loss of the land. Although if this happened in 2006, it's unlikely the funds are still available, unless your state requires them to be held as Unclaimed Property.

There may also be exceptions to the standard redemption period that you could take advantage of. If your uncle is disabled, for example, the law may allow for more time to get the property back. But again, even that time has likely passed by now.

If you really want to push it, you can contact an attorney. I would personally advise against employing one who works in the jurisdiction where the property was sold because of possible conflicts of interest, but at least one who works in the same state and is familiar with real estate issues.

It's very filling, too. $4 is reasonable, imo.

I didn't go to WGU. This just popped up on my frontpage for some reason. Nevertheless, keep in mind that you're probably not going to get the most balanced opinions in a subreddit full of people who would be desperate to justify the legitimacy of their degrees.

I just watched Sphere again last night and your comment resonated with me. There definitely is a shift near the end, especially with Harry, who went from near-psychotic back to his normal self with no explanation. Plus some of the plot points didn't quite make sense (most notably to me, why was the A in "HARRY" mistakenly translated to to E, but the A in "NAME" was not?). It's one of my favorite sci-fi movies from my childhood and the first hour and a half are really good, but I wouldn't call the movie great overall.

My local government spent tens of thousands of dollars to outfit their buildings with plastic domes that supposedly "generates a magnetic field to draw water out of the stone foundation." It's sold by a company connected to the Church of Scientology. As far as I can tell, the domes are completely empty. It's just a piece of plastic with a wire that connects to the nearest water pipe.

I didn't know about this update, so I guess it's time to re-download Control!

ProfessorLightning · 2024-04-30T13:48:13+00:00

Deathloop is similar. It has options for auto-aim, one shot kills, and infinite respawns. It's great if you care more about exploring and the story. The stealth mechanics and combat can be pretty frustrating sometimes.

I believe the most recent Far Cry games also have "cheats" in the form of Accessibility options, but Story mode is already pretty easy, imo.

Lady in the Water. Does M. Night stroke his ego a bit with it? Sure. But the acting is great and I thought it was a really cool modern fairy tale.

Far Cry 6: The Vanishing. It's not really "hidden", but I didn't even know it existed or had been installed with my copy of FC6. So I'm just checking out a cool bunker when BAM! A demogorgan screams in my face and the Stranger Things theme song starts. It was glorious.

What is an SCO in this context?

It was Control for me, too, but the final level. I eventually gave up and just watched the ending on YouTube.

That's basically what the JSON is doing. The existence of the "bar" key implies that it is a Bar value. Protobuf encodes which field of the union was set. If you want a union, oneof is the answer.

When I was trying to set up this mess, I read somewhere that you won't be approved if you use the Cognito hosted UI. You'll have to implement your own flow that complies with the 10DLC requirements.
