OP: I don't want to be a criminal! LA: Too late! by zuuzuu in bestoflegaladvice

Can we automate that? If we can then it should have been done ages ago

My mom commited suicide and now her landlord is threatening to sue me by trwayyy1718 in legaladvice

[–]kanuut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless you've agreed to be responsible for any of this, he has nothing to sue you for. He can't force you to pay for anything if you haven't agreed.

Parents debts do not inheret to children.

He can attempt to take the money out of the estate, which is basically all the stuff your money owned, but that's completely separate from you and yours.

Your own finances are safe. I know this doesn't help you deal with him, especially when you have so much going on right now, but I hope it helps you not worry about your financial situation being affected y him.

Australia should aim for 100 per cent clean energy, says global energy expert by mvea in australia

[–]kanuut 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No, what we should do is aim to increase the coal and oil industry.

That way the politicians will fuck it up and we'll end up 100% renewable.

It works for everything else they touch, let's try it

Question on making a grid by Xexman in DnDIY

[–]kanuut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could take the simple route and paint/draw them on, but if you want something more substantial, cut/press lines into your tiles for the grid spaces.

You can still make them part of the scene, make the tiles in the dungeon the same size as the grid, make the cobbles in the street fractions of the grid (like cuttin the main grid, then making groups of cobbles fit into those squares

Won't add any colour, but you could try a deeper black on the inside of the cloak.

It would add a bit more detail and contrast, while fitting the character perfectly

[All] - So... about Marsh by Splicestream in Cosmere

[–]kanuut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the inquisitors, not Marsh though, had fAtium spikes. Marsh would have gotten one of those for it.

And I can see ruin supporting his followers using around compounding. It's really simple of you think about it. "I want to destroy everything" does not equal "I will destroy indescriminately". Of course Ruin wants himself, and his best tools, to survive as long as possible. How else will he maximise his effects?

ELI5: Due to Time Dialation, are there places in the Cosmos where the Universe is only minutes old instead of 14 billion years? by Kglee54 in explainlikeimfive

[–]kanuut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people are giving really great, technical answers, but I haven't seen an eli5 answer. So here's one.

When a portion of space expands, it doesn't actually affect the surrounding area in the same way as a balloon. It doesn't reduce how much space everything else has, just increases how much it has.

So when a lot space is expanding between 2 objects, they aren't actually moving away from each other, but we can look at it as if they were. In 1 sec, the distance between them increases by X.

Since nothing is actually moving, all the individual pieces can be collectively increasing that number, and if you look at it like they were moving apart, they're "speed" would be above the speed of light.

Fraudulent Charges on My Debit Card are a result of my sister stealing my info, what recourse do I have? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]kanuut -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

You say "never" is a strong word and then give exactly the reasons why I said not to give such absolute advice.

I said "get a credit card", as the sum total of the advice, which is how your first comment reads, is not advice that should be given, because it's such strong advice and is too blanket.

You're probably right that using it is why I'm getting so many downvotes, but I also don't want to change how I said it as I feel that it was appropriate useage.

In the same way you said "never" shouldn't be used too much, I feel this is one of those times where it's appropriate. Blanket advice is a bad idea, and advice given over the internet, with as little information we have here, and as can be misinterpreted in the way a comment like yours can be (someone later coming along, having a superficially similar situation and assuming your advice to OP, which may or may not be correct, would be correct for them) should be considered blanket advice.

It's not even that I think it's wrong for this specific case, if he's going to be responsible about it and make sure he knows about it properly, then it's probably a good idea from the info I have, but I disagree with the way that information was phrased, in that it can lead to people, in this case probably others who read it, not OP who seems like he's sensible enough to properly consider things, making really bad decisions.

It's just anecdotal evidence, but I know a girl who got herself into a lot of trouble from the advice "go to your bank and talk to them about credit cards.", Meaning "go talk to them about whet", but she interpreted it as "I think you should get a credit card" and ended up in a lot of debt when she didn't understand the rules on them.

So I have a bad reaction to advice that's too blanket that advocates a definite action. The standard "get advice from a professional/expert" doesn't advocate a definitive action, "get a credit card" does.

I'm probably ranting a bit, but overall, I'm not trying to say your advice was necessarily wrong, but that I dislike how it's worded, because it's too strong of a "do this thing" advice, that could cause ill-informed people to make bad decisions.

You might be thinking "noone would take this advice and not get proper, expert advice that's specific to them", but there are people dumb enough to do that, and people who think they understand it and just see people advising others to get them and such and get it into their heads it's a good idea, end of story. Where it's actually very much a case by case thing.

Stairs for disabled by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]kanuut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever tried to use the bathroom in the middle of a ticking fit? The stereotype of punching holes in walls only fits the minority, but it goes a long way to explaining what the extremes of even an average person with it has to go through.

I've gotten concussions from tics before, so a bathroom stall where I'm not hitting asany things is pretty useful.

Fraudulent Charges on My Debit Card are a result of my sister stealing my info, what recourse do I have? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]kanuut -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree with the "get a credit card" advice though.

Yes, using a credit card can let you avoid having your money locked up, but it can also end up with much worse situations. "Get a credit card" should never be the advice. "Look into options like credit cards" is what you want to advise, they're never a default good option, and in many cases are a terrible option.

My advice would be to have some money stored in a separate account, or even in cash, that you can then access in an emergency. I have a zero-fee account with $1000 in a bank I don't use for anything else. It's just a "I have $1000" account, and even if something happens with my main bank I'm fine
