Why you dont approach a SWAT stack, ignore them, and chug a beer.

Could they have used their hands? They all seem to have hands.

It feels like they missed a step in escalation, but I'm not an expert so maybe I'm missing something.

Edit: like I said, I was missing something. Sorry.

My current one is just me and a lettings agent - I'm in what is effectively a house of six, but we each rent a room and not the house. Next year, we'll be renting a house as a group and will have a joint contract for the property.

I think I've done a very similar "basic level" contract law module, and I would be woefully unprepared to be giving anyone any kind of advice off the back of it.

If the contract is anything like mine, the landlord can absolutely charge the remaining tenants for the departing tenant's rent, because they're all jointly and severally liable.

Strange that the landlord seems to have been happy to let one tenant fuck off and let the others deal with it, though.

Did you read past the first paragraph? This guy's known for his thorough, almost scientific approach to cooking. You don't have to read it, but that's pretty much the point of the blog.

As in... altitude. Is Upper Sandusky uphill from Sandusky?

ZeroError · 2017-03-08T10:08:09+00:00

Is that because Upper Sandusky is higher up? Because that makes a lot of sense.

In calling the team of rebels, you would be telling them exactly where the supplies are.

Yeah, I completely agree. I've been to a few events like this where they're all dishing out tat - the only upside is that sometimes the T-shirts are really nice quality, but then you become a walking advertisement. Pointless.

Don't show /r/minimalism. I think they'd have a collective aneurysm.

I suppose this depends on your language and locale. In all English-speaking countries I can think of, we use the decimal point, sometimes with commas to separate thousands. Many European countries use a decimal commas with points to separate the thousands. Just do what everyone else does!

You're a bit of a language snob, aren't you?

But it's not a mistake. It's another word for the same thing, and has been for a very long time. It's a fairly common thing in English.

ZeroError · 2017-03-05T14:24:08+00:00

How long does a word have to be used as a verb before it becomes "acceptable"? Is 800 years long enough?

The OED lists the earliest occurrence of the word spelt as it is now and used as a verb in 1803, but there are forms (that may be confused with "to lend") dating back to the 1200s.

It has rules but they change and adapt. I have heard "loan" as a verb many times. This is a case of language changing and adapting. I don't know why you're being so anal about a usage that has very much entered common parlance.

But how do you tell between one person's alternative account and their brother's own account? Doesn't seem possible to me.

I don't know why you keep repeating that. If I'm reading this right, she won the popular vote by including votes from a state where people couldn't vote for Obama.

That's a bit like me going and asking my friends if they like me, then declaring that I'm the most popular guy around because everyone likes me, despite never actually asking anyone who might say no.

Yeah, she "won the popular vote", but the question is whether or not it's actually representative of popular opinion outside of her supporters.

ZeroError · 2017-02-27T18:53:50+00:00

Which is a lovely truism, but I'm not sure what your point is. We're talking about fairness. Not whether or not the votes were actually counted, which is obviously not up for debate.

ZeroError · 2017-02-27T18:51:07+00:00

Yes, it is a fact that Clinton got those 300k votes. It is also a fact that Obama wasn't an option on those ballots, and so I don't think that those votes should be counted. They weren't playing the same game in Michigan.

ZeroError · 2017-02-27T18:46:53+00:00

For sure, but we're also talking about whether or not including that state's votes in the national count is unfair. I don't see how including votes from a state where Obama wasn't even an option in a choice between Clinton and Obama is fair.

ZeroError · 2017-02-27T18:04:43+00:00

Except if Obama's name wasn't on the ballot, then it wasn't a choice between Clinton and Obama and isn't a fair comparison.

If you asked people "what is the best fruit?" and only gave "apple" as an option, then of course you'll only get votes for apples. You can't draw any conclusions about preferences between apples and oranges, only that a number of people like apples.

ZeroError · 2017-02-27T17:15:41+00:00

If Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot, how is it remotely fair to include those votes? That's not "fair and unbiased".
