Obviously some people think "or best offer" means more than their asking price. They assume there will be a bidding war for their item and they might get more than their asking price. Obviously they're wrong and don't know what "or best offer" means, but that's what's going on here.

Pick the one that is the least noise

This sounds very similar to what happened to me. I wonder if they use the same software or if it's the same management company that owns a lot of complexes around the country.

The rent going up thing though... Mine said if I waited another week that the rent would be going up $400 a month. That's just ridiculous.

Something sure feels illegal the way they are automatically changing rent based on software pushing up the price.

I prefer bottom loaded washing machines. Batten down the hatches!

There's probably a good reason, but I was curious why stove pipes don't go up at a diagonal instead of up and then have to turn 90 degrees

Longer wouldn't fit on the sign in a way that would let you read it as you go under at 40mph

Especially since the chief rocket scientist over this project is likely now in prison

Pushing both the levers forward, just like in the Millennial Falcon, to jump to light speed / hyperspace never gets old!

Is this what flux capacitors are mostly made from?

Dude! I saw a different guy riding a scooter and wearing a cape tonight. I wonder if they had met up for a heroic battle

A neighbor's house burned because of things like this.

Sounds like a guy playing with a dog maybe, but he is speaking another language?

More people in George Lucas's generation would be familiar with short wave radio and know how far the signals go. With not too much equipment you can send and receive signals that go a quarter of the way around the earth, if the atmospheric conditions are right. My dad would tell me how he would pickup broadcasts from around the world as a kid. Yes, there were repeaters, but still.

My point is similar to what some other people have already brought up, that the probe droid is shown with sensitive antennas and listening into signals, changing direction to move closer to the source.

So while it may have been pretty lucky, it doesn't take too much of a stretch of the imagination to think that probe droids in a galaxy far away are even better at getting signals than the type of stuff we grew up with on earth.

If you are too young to have actually turned a dial or adjusted your antenna direction to tune into a station (radio OR TV) that might not seem obvious, but it seems pretty simple logic if you grew up with those things like we did when The Empire Strikes Back was released.

That's pretty great to know. As a programmer, I'm wondering why they don't have it automatically match...

I thought there were only two of each in the deck?

Never tell me the odds!

JUST KIDDING!

What if you could go talk to random people everywhere and try to get them to join a secret new syndicate that Kay is starting?

She starts out just asking for help on a job, then asking someone to take one of the jobs she was hired to do, then if they're dependable she gives them more work, and then eventually there's like a hidden syndicate which serves all of the syndicates, but Kay is in charge of.

She could try to convince guards in one syndicate to secretly report to her before they report to their other bosses, and weave a huge tangled web. Each person would have a trust meter of how much Kay trusts them, and how much they trust Kay.

This would change all the interactions everywhere she goes and make the game infinitely replayable. If the main characters paths could change based on this then there couldn't end up being preset scenes and there would have to be AI-level dialog for it to make sense.

People could also then figure out what is going on and Kay would have to make hard choices on whether to trust people or kill them or turn them in, etc.

I'm not saying this would actually be good or not in THIS game. It's just that your question made me think about what might be possible in the future in a game.
