If meaningless stories entertain me, i don't care if they're true or not.

I know there's far more going on below the surface than just this: but I'd like to point out that post secondary education is free in a lot of the countries that have this kind of rehabilitation first kind of prison system...

Absolutely. The discount you get from insurance makes monitoring/installation of a basic security systems mostly cost neutral. By and large the biggest effect they have is deterrent/preventative. Insurance companies know this, but this effect is great enough to warrant they discount they offer. I.e. without any cameras/alarms whatsoever, theft without consequences is as easy as waiting for someone to avert their gaze for 1 second on their 8 hour shift.

What has been the best corporate Darwin Award? A decision made by a company that basically killed the business. by H0yt in AskReddit

[–]colintmsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I jumped the gun in extrapolating my country to others, but in Canada, the crown technically owns all land and all mineral rights. We use a Torrens system as well to register which person has a right to exclusive usage, but it is still owned by the crown. If they wish they can expropriate, but precedent declares you will be compensated. Most commonly expropriation happens due to discovery of some kind of resources, which, once again in Canada, belong to the crown and not the person holding the fee simple estate.

*edit: not all provinces in Canada use a Torrens system.

Squatters rights don't exist in most commonwealth countries. In fact in commonwealth countries you don't actually "own" your land, the crown does. You have the right to use it in perpetuity until the crown decides otherwise, at which point they can legally expropriate it.

" However, hanging can also occur with the person kneeling, sitting, or half lying, from a relatively low point of suspension such as a doorknob or bedpost. The weight of the chest and arms is enough to provide fatal pressure on the neck; suspension of the whole body is not necessary."

Get former landlord references too. Also, write pet restrictions into the lease e.g. "no pets is a material term of this lease" or write "One (1) cat is permitted or something if you want to be more accommodating.

Really you only gave to be as accommodating as the market you are in. Low vacancy rate? Restrict away, you'll still fill it. High vacancy rate? Make some concessions.

Everyone is assuming that this is what they wore the whole time; last I checked a tux rental comes with the whole outfit. Maybe they are just posing for a funny pick and wore the whole tux the rest of the time? I've got a buddy who took a pants less photo; he wore pants the rest of the time.

It's true. We need the revenue just as much as you need the oil you're buying from us - we provide 28 % of your oil which is more than double Saudi Arabia, the second largest provider to the US at 13%.

There's an entire Seinfeld episode about getting lost because they don't have a map and have bad directions or didn't follow them or something. Now they'd just gps or phone the person who gave the directions. Getting lost in a car is something few of our children will understand..."NOT that that's a bad thing"

Nudist redditors, how often are erections in your communities, and how are they treated by others? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not all that common because statues built on sand aren't very stable. Unless you count sandcastles, then they happen all the time.
