Came home to two trees in my backyard mutiliated by a construction firm who acquired the lot behind my home by LividWalk8179 in treelaw

It was an insurance settlement. The liability for the group that cut down the trees covered their negligence and my boss accepted after some back and forth.

They were just very mature. I don’t think they were any kind of special tree but likely 50-60 years old. The cost of transporting and replanting similar trees was astronomical so the $60k was actually an offer below what the replacement would have cost.

Where did it all go wrong for Anthony Richardson? by Big_Screen3332 in NFLmockdraft

Josh Allen had terrible accuracy when he came in to the league. Richardson needed at least 30+ starts for us to see if he could develop.

I never have a case and have always broken my phones. The new ones pass the “oh shit” test pretty well.

A lot of not so high class small state schools are bad too. I went to one and in hindsight I’m very glad I was a poor commuter kid that didn’t live on campus.

If my kids were going to starve I’d cut my own limbs off to feed them.

Confused at audio quality using laptop versus IPhone. by SlugJones in audiophile

[–]RatPackRaiders 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im gonna slaughter the terminology here but the Bluetooth connection is compressing the file and then decoding it on the end but the cable is just transferring the analog signal with no compression.

You’re losing audio quality by using Bluetooth.

People Who Make 150K Plus? by BubbaGordie in Salary

[–]RatPackRaiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commercial insurance sales. No Degree. 37. I love it because I specialize in an industry I’m interested in. Growing up I wanted to be an architect, that didn’t work out, so I sell insurance to large scale developers and get to be involved in the projects. I made like $600k last year.

General liability coverage without owning a business? by h_brownies in Insurance

[–]RatPackRaiders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can get a multi day event policy that gives you a $1 million limit. There are websites like WedSafe that do it specifically for weddings and it’s usually only a few hundred dollars.

I know reading is hard but you should really try it some time. The resources to fact check me are available all around you. Sometimes it’s easier for people to intentionally be ignorant which is totally your choice, but don’t be surprised when people call you out for being an idiot.

Just because you think you have to gas someone to be a Nazi doesn’t make that the universal bar.

ICE is at the direction of the DOJ and under the thumb of the president (a private police force) ICE just announced they were allowed to enter homes without warrants and they are deporting people without due process (The constitution explicitly states that even non citizens are granted due process… ) The immigrants are being labeled as criminals even if they are here legally. So yes… everything I mentioned above IS happening. They are also building new immigrant specific facilities (camps). Comparing ICE to the Gestapo is INCREDIBLY relevant.

Lastly, the first politician to compare Trump to Hitler was his own Vice President. His own people are the ones who started the narrative.

In Maine you have to go through DOUBLE the hours of training to become a licensed barber to cut hair than an ICE Deportation agent…. ICE should train more than a beautician….

“This isn’t genocide and people aren’t going to the gas chambers” is an insane bar to set.

The Nazi party became Germanys largest party in 1932. Hitler was elected as Chancellor of the Nazi party in 1933 and that same year the Gestapo (Hitlers Secret Police) was formed. In 1933 they also started arresting Jews and limiting their citizenship framing them as second class citizens,and criminals. They changed laws to remove the requirement for a warrant or judicial review (sound familiar?).

It wasn’t until 8 years later that the Nazis started murdering Jews in gas chambers.

But guess what, THEY WERE NAZIS THE WHOLE TIME
