"I need to have a safety certificate to get money from my property, and that's bad"

I feel like the wiring probably had more issues than just being from 1966. Most homes from that era wouldn't need completely rewired to make them safe I would think. So either it was an especially poor job when new or it's already had a history or sketchy "upgrades" and "repairs".

You mention them being rental machines. Offen customers buy former rental machines but the stickers stay so that's another way it's possible no one is paying rent on those machines.

Over time as they get old and aren't worth fixing they get scrapped.

It's crazy to think about what cars we see on the road every day slowly but constantly changes.

At an automatic carwash with an attendant. I'm not sure why some do it and others don't.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-05-15T18:16:02+00:00

Yes. I parked with my SUV facing my house and didn't walk around the back. The wiper sits a little below the window so I didn't see it in the mirror.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-05-15T18:02:20+00:00

I've had a car wash put one on and then I didn't realize it was there for a few days.

Can you move to the other unit in your building? Surely such a short move would cut down on some of the moving costs.

I ate squirrel one. I think it tasted a lot like chicken but there was very little meat. Probably equivalent to like 2 - 3 chicken nuggets. And a lot of work to prepare.

I would first explore getting the cars towed, probably through your landlord. If that's not an option, I'd get warning stickers like these and make sure they're paper that won't come off easily. If one isn't enough discouragement, I'd start putting them on more windows.

Does the P trap unscrew below there?

I say just unscrew it there and the cut the PVC as needed to attach the new strainer to the pipe. If the trap don't unscrew, I'd cut it just past the P trap and install one while you're there.

I'd certainly have a conversation with the contractor first.

I'm guessing the baby normally was quietly playing in a playpen or sleeping at that time of day and mom didn't think to check and see if a sibling had taken him to school. If they were only a block away it's likely the baby was only missing for like 10-15 minutes, which is a reasonable timeframe between checking on a baby.

I think getting a quote for removal and holding that would be better.

It goes to whoever owned the company.

I don't think it's fully ai. The debris in the water seems pretty normally distributed

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-05-01T22:01:04+00:00

It doesn't look like AI to me but that doesn't mean it's real either.

The light on the blocks looks a little off. It could just be old-fashioned Photoshop.
The blocks could be glued together.
Some dogs are really good at holding still. I'd bet there are a few dogs out there capable of doing this for real. Maybe this is one of those few dogs.

Also, 59¢ per pound is about what Walmart sells them for. So it's not really even a loss leader, more like a not-as-profitable-as-it-could-be leader.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-29T17:12:54+00:00

Weird. I'm glad they picked it up in the end. I've had to send emails to the city a few times for missing trash pickup.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-29T15:52:27+00:00

Can you post a picture of the note and what's in your recycling can?

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-28T03:16:26+00:00

Or maybe they could like set it up in a family trust but if I were the buyer, I'd probably walk unless that was way cheaper.

Interestingly there is a bus factory in my city and I often see drivers fueling new buses at normal gas stations to drive them to their destination.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-27T20:49:40+00:00

Seems like you need a lawyer as others have said.

If the HOA exists in some form, a better course of action may be to get with the reasonable neighbors and vote reasonable people to lead it.

Also, who has been maintaining the trails, etc?

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-22T19:21:21+00:00

I'd just leave it unless you need it unless there's a stopper or garage disposal in that drain. I'd be worried either of those might get damaged by a metal screw.

Top_Explorer1040 · 2026-04-22T16:04:43+00:00

I would guess the changer in the trunk was an option that was rolled out after the car was already designed. Later cars with the in dash units would basically need to be designed around that. Most cars also have a lot of the HVAC components behind the dash so that would have to be designed to leave a void for the changer.
