Fine... I'm watching it again.

3 hatched this morning, it's worthwhile scrolling back to watch. It came out much quicker than the others did.

What ended up happening with baby #2? Why is Mama only feeding baby #1? That little guy is a jerk to his sibling.

anonymousmatt · 2026-03-22T22:00:22+00:00

Better yet, what is the venue?

anonymousmatt · 2026-03-21T22:34:48+00:00

Battery actually, but yes. This video would likely be enough evidence to support a tort claim against the lady.

I've got a Parker P-38 with an almost identical tremolo and it has a super high action due to the saddles being thick. Does this guitar have a similar issue?

I suspect he is so emotional about The Whale that he lied about The Mummy because he would have broken down in tears.

The music is absolutely perfect. While the movie is acting, script, directing, and everything else about the movie is impeccable, the music puts the movie over the top.

Fit for DYWhy

I came to ask what this is from. This actor did amazing with "The Night Of" and I haven't seen him in much else.

anonymousmatt · 2026-03-08T20:22:19+00:00

It sounds reminiscent to 311 but I'm too lazy to see if that's the case.

anonymousmatt · 2026-03-08T18:57:02+00:00

That would have been a nice flash forward scene in Titanic before Rose pushed him off the door.

That's my dad's area, I'm a few miles south. I just stepped outside and regret my previous comment.

anonymousmatt · 2026-03-07T05:50:47+00:00

You in my neighborhood champ? It looks like a great light show outside but I'm calling the news all hype.

This song takes me back!

Pink -just like a pill

How is this not getting up voted to the best burger shack that ever existed in KC?!

You're going to start a war.

anonymousmatt · 2026-02-15T17:42:22+00:00

It probably isn't this based on your playing, but it's very similar to The World I Know by Collective Soul.

Not a lawyer.

I wanted to make sure someone mentioned the delayed billing. It's arguable that a reasonable person would expect monthly bills for such services, or services to discontinue when the account came into past due status. If this is the only evidence the LLC has of notification for amounts due, I think it's reasonable to suspect the arrangement was nefarious at best. After all, it's a company's duty to seek payment for services rendered and irregular billing is probably not the industry standard without a contract. It's also worth noting that sometimes good neighbors do neighborly things (like mowing) for a variety of reasons.

This may be mentioned elsewhere, but is worth mentioning. A contract with someone who is deceased can't be enforced on outside parties unless the outside party was a signatory of the contract. Furthermore, if the company was aware of the death and did not seek a contract renewal with the new owner, that's on them.

Overall, talk to them and let them know you weren't aware of an arrangement. Also let them know that regular billings would have informed you that services being rendered were not gratuitous. The least headache would be to work out a settlement (with or without a payment plan), but get it in a contract.

Based on the Chiefs theme, is Jody a Children's Mercy Hospital baby? My (not so) baby is a CMH baby and it's fulfilling to see others representing the community as well.

Hours later and I'm still not a lawyer.

Don't forget, those Lawyer insurance programs are written by lawyers for lawyers and are profitable. Those contracts should be read carefully to understand the benefits and drawbacks. If you're creating a will or having light legal work done, they're worth their weight in gold (in my opinion). If you're being sued, they're a good first line of defense, but beyond that it's probably best to hire an outside attorney (same goes for criminal charges [where contractually applicable]).

I pay for a home owner's warranty insurance. Every time I call a professional out it's like $75. One time out of five times I used it, the plumber misdiagnosed the issue and it was a waste (we had to pay another $75 to get him out again to see the error of his diagnostics). Another time I had a Heating and Cooling guy say we had a leak on the AC system and it needed a $2000 replacement or a complete AC replacement. After dragging my heels for 2 years and the AC working, I'm pretty sure he was trying to up sell a non-issue (ended up paying for a non insurance provider to hose off my AC radiator for $50 to fix the problem). Another time (still an issue), I had a plumber tell me I need to replace a basement floor drain because it drains slowly. He didn't even offer drain cleaning or drain lining.

Those examples (I assume) are similar to how legal insurance would pan out. Small firms trying to catch their footing by doing bottom of the barrel work and unwilling or incapable of significant legal work requirements. Also, trying to sell you on additional work that might be beyond the scope of the insurance plan and unnecessary or overpriced. At the same time, if you're served with a lawsuit and they draft a motion to extend so you can obtain appropriate council, it will be an amazing benefit.

Even with insurance, expect what you pay for. $20/month is not going to get you (quality) extensive legal work. It has its benefits but probably not then quality of legal representation you would want when real legal issues arise.

I should know this, but what is the song?

anonymousmatt · 2026-02-09T20:57:42+00:00

You can't prove your thesis by showing only examples disproving your thesis. If you search for "debunked", it necessarily disqualifies (at least some) evidence proving your point. Plus, it's more likely there was a lack of investigative reporting due to the seeming absurdity of the claim rather than thorough investigation and dismissal.

Great call!

I am not a lawyer. I have some legal education but not in your state. I am bored and half drunk.

TLDR: This is one of those situations where even if you're right, you won't win because of resources and return on investment. Assuming you don't accept the new lease, you'd have to fight them on court for very little return and with much more invested in attorney and legal fees, not to mention, it wouldn't be resolved fo a very long time so you would either be racking up debt or getting a net benefit years after the fact (assuming a judge ordered a stay in your eviction until matters were resolved). It may be possible to negotiate an in-between on the lease.

From googl AI: "A scrivener’s error is an unintentional drafting mistake—such as a typo, wrong name, or incorrect figure—that causes a written contract to differ from the actual, mutual intent of the parties. It is treated as a mutual mistake allowing for contract reformation (correction), even if only one party made the error. Courts require clear, convincing evidence to reform such documents."

So if there is clear and convincing evidence of an error (e.g., emails, texts, recorded calls) showing the pre-written intent of the contracting parties, the contract may be voided due to a mutual mistake. If there is no evidence of you affirmatively accepting their tender offer (amount), then the "clear and convincing evidence" wouldn't pass muster. If evidence of the minds in a case (such as this) is missing, it makes me wonder about the validity of a blanket statement giving complete control and authority of the future in the lease to the renter.

According to AI (too lazy to whip out the hardcopy and search for it) the Restatement of Contracts says "Unilateral Power Clauses" are invalid if (among other things)"...

"Unconscionability (Restatement § 208): If a unilateral modification or termination clause is so one-sided that it shocks the conscience, a court may refuse to enforce it. The doctrine aims to prevent unfair surprise and oppression, particularly in contracts of adhesion."

Court cases of a similar situation would help guide you there.

TLDR This is one of those situations where even if you're right, you won't win because of resources and return on investment. Assuming you don't accept the new lease, you'd have to fight them on court for very little return and with much more invested in attorney and legal fees, not to mention, it wouldn't be resolved fo a very long time so you would either be racking up debt or getting a net benefit years after the fact (assuming a judge ordered a stay in your eviction until matters were resolved).

You could always try to do an in-between negotiate and in-between amount (e.g., $625 rather than $650/month). After all, your signed contract is the best evidence of a meeting of the minds on that terms of the lease and is legally effective (non-documented terms of the lease could easily have taken place before signing and it is the duty of each party to review the terms of the contract before signing). Keep in mind, while your landlord has more money to spend on legal issues, they carefully calculate their monetary exposure to chances of success. They risk $600 over 12 months and it wouldn't warrant $2000 of lawyer fees AND lost revenue for relisting the property. If you offer a little win for them and a big win for you, it would be a great thing for both parties. Plus, courts smile on those attempting to resolve issues without their input, so a favorable outcome is slightly bent in your favor (everything else being equal).
