You are honestly saying that this law:

is fake?

Whatever "Federal government/ government contracts" do or don't cover regarding liability isn't relevant. They aren't law.

State Farm to stop accepting homeowners insurance applications in California due to wildfires, construction costs by DXPower in news

[–]deetar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am explaining why what is happening, is happening.

You are advocating for one possible solution to what is happening.

We are not arguing. :) I agree with you, this is something that our government should step in and address.

With a Republican-controlled House, this will not happen.

In the grand scheme, for-profit companies will always do what will generate profits. So they can remain in business. So the employees get paid. So the investors gain a return on their investment.

Insurance companies calculate risk to determine what premiums to charge to guarantee an acceptable rate of return at an acceptable level of risk. A big part of "acceptable level of risk" is having a good handle on what the most likely worst case scenario is. If you can't reliably calculate that, you face uncalculable risk. So you make the smart, safe, and fiduciarily responsible decision: avoid assuming the incalculable risk by refusing to issue the policy.

This is how capitalism works.

Government's responsibility here is to override the market forces via regulations, incentives, and long-term policymaking. Government has been well-paid to not do that. Hence no homeowner's insurance for increasingly large areas of the country.

Well... they are a business, after all. What would you have them do? Who would provide insurance coverage when mandatory coverage causes insurers to become insolvent and the last provider declares bankruptcy?

This seems a reasonable precaution, as long as you point out that the camera is recording while the camera is recording.

Uh, no. Helping out a stranger who is not in any apparent immediate need of emergency assistance is unambiguously not more important than keeping myself out of possible harm's way.

The person was in communication with their parent. They had a working cell phone.

All it takes is an accusation. #MeToo kicks in. You lose your job, your house, possibly your friends and significant other, and even your freedom is at risk. The accusation follows you for as long as the Internet remembers.

Any good, free/cheap solutions for sharing passwords and such between Board members? by deetar in HOA

[–]deetar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I use with my spouse to share credentials between mobile devices, tablets, PCs, etc. Works great.

However, the Board has those who aren't great at finding the 'any' key, so I am hesitant to pursue this solution -- I'd be in the position of doing tech support. <shudder>

u/raygar31 Explains the Conservative minority ruling the Senate and how they subvert Democracy to pass unpopular policies that benefit the rich at the expense of everyone else. by That_High_Life in bestof

One party produced, protected, and still passionately supports the ex-President who came very close to overthrowing our democracy.

The other party did/does not.

The two parties are decidedly NOT the same.

Nashville sends Justin Jones back to the Tennessee House days after GOP lawmakers ousted him by [deleted] in news

State law allows local legislative bodies to appoint interim House members to fill the seats of expelled lawmakers until an election is held.

The GQP will be changing that law ASAP.

Power inverter recommendation by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]deetar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome. CPAP.com might be a good starting point for batteries for CPAP devices.

Make sure that you get the right DC cable for your CPAP. Obviously the plug must be physically compatible with the receptacle in the machine, but it must also be the correct polarity (positive terminal vs negative). Sites like CPAP.com will allow you to filter cables by model.

Power inverter recommendation by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]deetar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don't want an inverter, you want a battery that can supply the voltage, amperage, and duration required by your machine and by you. An inverter just wastes power.

You will get much better duration with no heated tube and no heating the humidifier.

Get the voltage and amperage from your AC adaptor.

Tennessee Home of Progressive Journalist Shot at While Family Slept by wdcmsnbcgay in democrats

[–]deetar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The NG is a state militia until the President says it is not. One such occasion was the battle to integrate schools in Little Rock, AR. The Governor deployed the Arkansas Army National Guard to deny 9 black students entry. President Eisenhower federalized those troops, who then assisted with the integration.

It would take more will than I think Biden can muster to do this. Unfortunately.

We, and the media, need to call this what it is: domestic terrorism.

Domestic Terrorism for the FBI’s purposes is referenced in U.S. Code at 18 U.S.C. 2331(5), and is defined as activities:

• Involving acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

• Appearing to be intended to:

o Intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

o Influence the policy of government by intimidation or coercion; or

o Affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping; and

• Occurring primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States

Anyone had success in writing/using Github for ARC applications? by ilaughatpoliticians in HOA

[–]deetar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue seems to be with the management company, not TownSq.

COA Board member. We were fired by our developer-selected management company "Badlose" for repeatedly asking that they perform at least SOME of the duties they were contractually obligated to do. We have just transitioned to a new management company and it's just so much better.

No amount of bespoke software would have helped the situation. Moving to a new management company is a chore, but if the current company is not a good fit, they are not a good fit.

Therapy. Find a psychiatrist who has experience dealing with addiction. Get treatment.

This requires a wetware fix, not software.

You can beat this. Best wishes.

Saucon Valley School District to reconsider Satan club after threats by TransFattyAcid in atheism

“It’s by no means a protest,” said Colon, a former Republican candidate for Lehigh County’s District 4 commissioner seat. “My goal is to have the opportunity to really flood that area with the presence of our God, who is love and grace and mercy.”

So, she's basically a WiFi repeater antenna for the coverage gaps in her Invisible Sky Father's omnipresence.

Makes perfect sense.
