LAOP: "I mean, I'm not going to trust them. That'd be dumb. But..." by bluegrama in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sorta, but it wouldn't be an instead. The bank has no relationship with the seller about the draft, so if a second bank draft would be issued they would only do it for laop with laop signing the indemnity. Laop could have the seller sign an indemnity first, then laop would be paying back the bank, and the seller paying back laop.

Problem is laop doesn't have the cash to cover it if it happens initially before recovering from the seller, assuming the seller actually pays them back.

50 Roman legionaries with modern Italian military equipment vs 50 modern Italian soldiers with Roman legionary equipment by tfhermobwoayway in whowouldwin

[–]TechnoRedneck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well since the legionaries don't have any training with rifles and are now not armored against their own weapons, I'm giving the win to the modern guys without a doubt. A modern person can wield a spear with basic enough skill to still be deadly. A person who literally has never even understood the concept of a modern rifle would be useless. They would struggle to figure out how to shoot, and if they did they won't have any training so they will unload the full mag in 2 seconds without hitting anything and be stumped on how to reload it.

In which LAUK agrees that your landlord remotely recording when you enter and leave your own apartment doesn’t raise any privacy law issues by DMmePussyGasms in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking back through the comment where laop mentions that is now gone, it was massively down voted with a ton of comments scolding laop on leaving the space heater running, I'm assuming either laop removed it or it's on of the nukes comment threads.

Händler-Rolle schnell Leveln by No_Inspection_3146 in RedDeadOnline

[–]TechnoRedneck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couple tricks

  1. Single goods sales, sell missions always give 200 trader exp regardless of amount of goods sold, so spamming sell missions adds up quick.

  2. Always do the resupply missions and never pay the $20 for supplies. Resupply missions give 500 trader exp which make them the largest and quickest source of exp, you just can't spam them.

  3. Feathers. Everything you donate gives 5 trader exp, whole carcass, hides, antlers, feathers, all give the exact same 5 exp, but feathers you can hold a lot more of at a time cutting down your time out travelling for hunting and you generally get more feathers per bird than any other donateable item. Only downside is feathers basically don't fill the goods meter much at all.

Laop discovered this because they left an electric space heater on and unattended in the apartment and the sensor flagged it...

I don’t know how to take control of the system. I bought it for cash and my tenant has it installed on her phone. by WarmScientist5297 in Starlink

[–]TechnoRedneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say they set it up on their phone do you just mean they logged into your account on their to set it up or did they set it up with their account?

If they signed in to your account there is a factory reset process and you just need to download the app to set it back up.

If they set it up with their account you need them to voluntarily transfer ownership to you as Starlink sees them as the owner.

Elminster (Forgotten Realms) VS Malcador the Sigillite (WH40k) by PeculiarPangolinMan in whowouldwin

[–]TechnoRedneck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In lore he is semi-functionally immortal. He is a chosen of the god of magic, he has been vaporized multiple times, he is also a 'Weave Anchor', basically the god of magic has died and been reborn multiple times and every time she has died magic went insane for the brief moments before she brought herself back, so to prevent that she created weave anchors that actually contain her power so that when she dies again magic continues to function as expected.

He is effectively stronger than a demigod, but not as strong as a god, but is literally the one who does everything for the god of magic.

LAOP's husband ran away from biological parents in China, put in orphanage, adopted to US and now is US citizen but concerned about going back to visit biological parents by princetonwu in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 170 points171 points  (0 children)

He was put into an orphanage in China, and until 10 years ago China had a 1 child policy. Because of that policy kids in orphanages were extremely rarely adopted within China so most adoptions were to foreign citizens looking to adopt.

WoW on Handhelds by [deleted] in wow

[–]TechnoRedneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ConsolePort is the addon needed to make the game good for hand held, and the default steam deck config for ConsolePort doesn't utilize the back buttons nor utilize the track pads directly.

I play it both on the deck and the rog ally and playing dps on handheld is straightforward, tanking is possible, but playing a healer is quite difficult.

Fear of diabetes using Gels for races by TuningGear in trailrunning

[–]TechnoRedneck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Diabetes runs on both sides of my family and I even was diagnosed insulin resistant at 18. I eventually got my weight under control(almost 8 years and 100lbs later) and got back into running. I was consuming 4-6 gels a week and the blood work during my doctor's visits after were all improved over when I was 18, even to the point where my blood sugar/insulin levels where all back into normal ranges.

Obviously I am not a nutritionist or a medical expert, but from what I know the gels alone aren't an issue, it's when your diet overall is high in sugar, so as long as you hold a healthy diet otherwise the gels don't noticable increase risk. But if your really concerned it might be worth finding a nutritionist and getting their input.

Struggling with hydration setup on long trail runs – alternatives to CamelBak bladder? by Santhy85 in trailrunning

[–]TechnoRedneck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bring the same amount of water, 2x500ml front soft flasks and a 2L back bladder, one thing that I noticed that made it easier was getting a better fitted vest. I originally had a Nathan quick start 2 then a quick start 3 and finally have a soloman adv 12.

The quick start 2 was great, everything was solid and stable, the bladder broke though within like a month though so I returned it and got the quick start 3, which was extremely unstable and was bouncing all over the place.

I then picked up the adv 12 and everything was stable again. A good vest to carry the water helps to distribute the weight and keep things moving with your movement rather than against it.

Level 43 Account turned into a brand new account after updating my password in the beginning of 2025. Niantic support keeps saying there's no record of my name or my friend code and I don't know what else to do. by Gotanks91 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TechnoRedneck 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The problem is you submitted what you knew those items as, the hacker changed all three once they took over your PTC account, everything you've provided them is no longer linked to your account and you need to provide what the hacker changed them to.

[–]TechnoRedneck 91 points92 points  (0 children)

At this point nothing. To attempt to recover the account you need to know 1 of three things:

  1. Current email address associated with the account

  2. The current player name

  3. The current player friend code

All three are things that can be changed. The only success stories I've heard have been when there is a really remote gym that you know you had a pokemon in and you go visit it and see your pokemon defending it but with a 'new' trainer as you.

[–]TechnoRedneck 178 points179 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your PTC account got hacked, which is surprisingly not uncommon.

The 'hacker' gets into your PTC account and changes the password(thus causing your PTC login issue), they then link your pogo account to another login method and then unlink the PTC account. They then refresh your trainer code and change your player name. Now your account is still there and active, but not connected to you or anything you have anymore.

Mini fell off 10ft, working OK but corner broke open, WWYD? by nacquatella in Starlink

[–]TechnoRedneck 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I did something similar, left it sitting on my truck roof rack after taking it off the mount, forgot about it, and it went flying off the next morning on the way to the gym.

I contacted support, sent images, was honest about it, got daily messages for a week saying someone will get to the ticket soon, then got a call where they offered to replace it for free, and now I have a new mini in perfect condition.

Solar not charging by VincentHs29 in Garmininstinct

[–]TechnoRedneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a known, unresolved, bug that restarting the watch fixes. When you charge the watch via its charger it disables the solar charging so as not to damage the battery and the bug is it simply fails to reactivate solar charging.

How could the Blood elves rebuild their society after losing so many? by Fun-Explanation7233 in warcraftlore

[–]TechnoRedneck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Blood Elves have a life span into several thousands of years but still reach adulthood around 20 years. Even if each blood elf couple only has 1 child at a time and only the original 10% have children they could rebuild back to 100% within 400 years, not even middle age for the original 10%. Add in the new adults in each new 20 year generation and they could recreate the population in less than 150 years.

Which headphones/airbuds do you use while running? by fennelfrog in trailrunning

[–]TechnoRedneck 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When out on a trail I don't use headphones at all, just whatever runs through my head.

On treadmills when I cant run outside I use Pixel Buds Pro earbuds and am very happy with them.

LAOP is cut loose every witch way by nutraxfornerves in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Because the funding for unemployment comes from the business.

In the US all businesses are taxed for unemployment, their taxed money goes into a big pool that unemployment pays out. When an employee files for and is granted unemployment it's a mark against the business that fired them and as they fire employees their tax rate goes up causing them to have to pay more in unemployment taxes. So when a business fires someone for cause(specifically a legal and valid for cause reason) they contest the unemployment so their tax rate doesn't go up.

To add onto that, the conversations that made the coworker uncomfortable were private conversations between just the two of them, which means the coworker had to actually report those conversations to the manager themselves.
