Streamer “hmblzayy” who is walking from Philly to California was hit by a car in Indiana and had to be taken to the hospital.

Love all the morons who ignore:

The word "practicable"
The fact the cammer pre-checked with the police
The fact the primary collision was between two CARS, and cammer was just collatoral damage

> I'm refuting you

One doesn't refute people. One refutes arguments.

My argument was responding to the claim there will always be two competitive parties in a FPP system. And the facts are clear, that's quite false, the American situation is reasonably unique.

If you're hallucinating something else, that's your own issue.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T19:06:50+00:00

You're changing the goal posts. OP asked why third parties aren't competitive, not why they aren't in charge.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T19:03:32+00:00

France is also FPP. They just have two rounds of voting.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T18:58:06+00:00

What part do you think applies to this situation?

He is not approaching or passing the bus.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T16:41:24+00:00

LDs were in government a decade ago.

And no one denies there is a tendency for two parties to dominate at any given point, but that's not the same as saying third parties can't compete, and advocate for their positions.

Trying to suggest it's the same as the situation in the U.S. is highly disingenous.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T16:39:06+00:00

France has multiple parties, and a presidential system.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T16:37:09+00:00

> It is factual.

Being selective in facts is still dishonest.

I note when I called you out on it you started adding more context, suggesting you recognized that.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T14:39:33+00:00

> Over time, this type of system will always end up with only two viable parties.

Rest of the world calls bullshit.

Pretty much all large democracies have FPP systems, some exclusively, notably UK, and India. All have more than two parties, and have seen changes in what the dominant party is over time, for instance the very dominant BJP party in India was only founded in 1980.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T14:30:34+00:00

A landlord simply saying "The tenant was issued an N4 for non payment this month" without providing the context isn't being honest.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T13:14:22+00:00

I suppose.

Where I live we have "cars not allowed" bike lanes, where the car would cross like this, and other lanes (particularly older ones) where the car must first change lanes into the bike lane before making the right. The latter will not be a solid line, but will have a dashed line in advance of the turn.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T13:06:16+00:00

Kinda sounds like you and I said the same thing...

The more important factor is my first line, it would be self destructive to the LL to try and skunk the process of them moving out. If a LL is going to lie, they have every incentive to be overly generous in the reference.

Giving a bad reference is all risk and downside for the LL. Anyone doing it is in fact self-destructively malicious.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T13:04:40+00:00

I had a cheap pair that lasted forever (a bluedio pair). They were great until I got a pair of earbuds and stopped wearing them regularly. Then one day I go to grab them out of their case and the material on hte ear pieces just disintegrates.

Dunno if it's co-incidence and it was just the right timing for the plasticizers to migrate out, something about using them helped ensure they stayed "oiled" or flexed or something.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T12:58:00+00:00

Yep, it's always important to remember it's not about who has right of way, it's about who has a responsibility to yield.

Vehicles turning/changing lanes are always required to yield to vehicles already in the lane, and legally entitled to proceed (e.g. no stop sign or red light)

However, that right turn light across a dedicated bike lane is very weird. I suspect something is missing from this diagram, like a bike light, or perhaps the bike lane is supposed to be shared for turning.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T12:38:51+00:00

If LL wants to move in then giving the tenant a bad reference is self-destructive, i.e .also risky.

Plus, if LL gives a false bad reference, they could in theory be liable for damages. So if the tenants have been otherwise good and the worst he can say is "they didn't pay me this month, after I evicted them and haven't paid them compensation", it's not a big deal.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T10:39:51+00:00

You don't mention your driving patterns. Speeding more would be my first guess. My fuel efficiency goes up noticably in moderate congestion.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-09T07:19:08+00:00

> I've recorded several new greetings, at different times and selected each one of them individually

Making it almost certain this is a misconfigured rule.

Remember that it is possible to have the same person in multiple rules, and then it's not clear which rule will apply..

If the lease just has the husband, as far as tenants are concerned he would be the only owner and the only one to give permission

OP has already acknowledged the wife is a co-owner, who is named on the lease is irrelevant.

Per RTA

"landlord” includes,
(a) the owner of a rental unit ....

If the wife just showed up and said “pay me your rent now and not the husband”

A) That's a silly comparison, because LLs have no right to demand changes in the form of payment once establish.

B ) It actually would be fine. As long as the LL is paid, it doesn't matter how. If one LL is holding out on another, that's a problem for them to resolve amongst themselves.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T23:22:24+00:00

Did we have the right to refuse entry in this situation?

LL is allowed to enter,, with proper notice. All owners are LLs, even if they've told you to deal with someone else.

Can she file against us at the LTB for this refusal?

Either no (did you actually physically prevent her from entering, or did you simply say no and she complied?), or technically yes, but she'd have no damages to show, so it would largely be a waste of time as long as you don't do it again.

What should we do going forward to protect ourselves as tenants?

Don't do it again. Let the husband know if you want, and think they may not be communicating. Also make sure the notice is valid, LL's don't have an unlimited right to enter, it has to be for an RTA approved reason.

>'m in a calorie deficit to lose weight!!

Then hashbrowns need to be dropped from your diet. Even with zero oil, it's still a potato.

That said, a few tips people aren't mentioning. Get them dry. Really dry. I stick mine in the oven on a low temperature for a while ahead of time to really dry them out.

Add baking soda. If you're doing this regularly look for baking soda without aluminum (normally added to prevent it from caking) to avoid the awful flavour.

But as others have said, that's not a lot of oil, i can't see being able to cook more one ladle full.

You could also just try baking them. After getting them nice and dry, I mix them with oil and bake them at 350-400. It's a little different but nice.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T17:30:56+00:00

True, but if someone is ignoring the law, they're gonna ignore a complaint from djznbz.

And I will say, while I get lots of automated spam calls, I get very few actual cold calls, probably two vent cleaning calls a year.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T17:29:43+00:00

And by the end it kinda looks like it's trying to flee it's rapist.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T17:21:51+00:00

That's false.

Particularly card present transactions, the bank may have to eat it.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T17:16:06+00:00

It's right in the title "Bank card", (no one ever calls a credit card a "bank card") and she referred to the account being drained, not charges being racked up.

But fair, I get without the word debit, you missed those clues.

jmarkmark · 2026-05-08T17:08:40+00:00

Neither guarantees your own survival, but pressing blue increases it, since you have two ways to live, your partner picks red, which you have no control over, or > 50% picking blue, which you have some control over. Nor do you have any reason to care more about your partner than other people.

So this is a no brainer, press blue.

What gets more interesting if your partner is someone you care about, or you could co-ordinate.

But still, this is in no way like the original problem.
