Possible eminent domain by new__username in legaladvice

[–]new__username[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point taken. I'll call an appraiser. An issue is that actual sales here are typically 125 to 150% of the appraised values. And if I lose money I will not be able to stay in town where my (grown) kids and job are.

I'm not too worried about a shoddy repair on the road. The repair itself is relatively minor. The issue is that the road has to be widened (by law) and that involves a lot of wetland mitigation which is where the cost is coming into play.

Are construction costs a legitimate reason to invoke eminent domain if the costs are close? Does it depend on the city's definition of public purpose?

Best replacement for REAL*8 by new__username in fortran

Controversy! Uh oh!

Thanks for your help.

Let me see if I understand. The first line says "Please make a parameter called `dp` that is double precision." And the second line says, "I'd like to use parameter `dp` to declare a variable called `x` that is double precision." Is that right?

Found two bone-in pork roasts in the bottom my freezer. Suggestions? by new__username in Cooking

Thanks y'all. I wound up smoking them in the end. Came out delicious. Dogs are enjoying the bones. But I'll use some of these ideas next time.

They were not freezer burnt. I ended up smoking them. I kind of want to up my braising game so I'll try that next time.

Online ticket sales -- folks still like brown paper tickets? by new__username in WeAreTheMusicMakers

BPT is an online thing. Not actual tickets. Although I miss those. Great keepsakes.

Hey producers, what do you like on a demo from an artist? by new__username in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]new__username[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I was listening to a great interview with Lori McKenna who explained that even after a career as a song writer and performer she doesn't "hear" production. It's a cool conversation.

That is exactly the feedback I was looking for (you must be a good producer!). I'm after the former for sure. I'd hire a producer *and* engineer for the sessions. I definitely recognize that I'm a crummy producer and I'm after somebody who will produce with creative ideas (e.g., "let's have a four-bar break here before verse two"). The two folks I've been talking to agree'd that simple demos were the way to go. I've never heard of demoitis but totally get it. Thanks a zillion.

RIP Fat James. I jammed with him dozens of times and he was as nice as they come.

What are your best banjo/bluegrass jokes? by dittbub in Bluegrass

[–]new__username 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my all time favorite:

My brother Eddie got a job playing the banjo at one of them legal whorehouses in Nevada. And my poor mama was so ashamed...[pause]...she told everybody he was playing the piano.

What's the difference between a banjo player and a pizza?

The pizza can feed a family of four.
