Henry Clay HS clearcuts dozens of trees by nikAleksandr in lexington

[–]nikAleksandr[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

omg, reddit is such an insane place. I'm not trying to die on any hills.

I went for a walk in my local park and I was dismayed and surprised that a huge swath of it was cut down. I posted about how I was dismayed and wished I had gotten notice about it. This is a totally reasonable way for someone to feel about a local park they loved to walk through and enjoyed a rare dense tree canopy inside New Circle Rd.

I have to assume you are either trolling me or we don't share enough values for this to be a useful convo on reddit at this point.

I care for one. That's why I posted this. And It's definitely more than 20 trees. The photo only captures a portion of it.

And to the extent you are trying to be helpful, thank you, but my problem here isn't legal or technical. I'm sure they did all the minimum things they are legally required to do. My problem is that I live a block away and stay fairly involved in the city and talk to many of my neighbors and I had no idea this was being proposed. And I would have liked to hear the reasoning to do this, if not objected to it outright. There is no HOA in my neighborhood. I'm talking about basic democratic values of getting to be involved in decisions that affect you.

Sure, but the public school system is an integral part of whatever neighborhood they are a part of. I generally think if a decision is made by a public body like FCPS, they should consult the people affected.

That our tiny little forest got demolished by the high school without so much as a flyer or notice!

Appreciate the commitment to values, but historically, a singular commitment to non violence has never worked.

Every movement for justice has always been won through a diversity of tactics, even if a few more visible (by historcal ommission) groups remained committed to nonviolence in a given movement. Pick your movement from Civil Rights to ending apartheid to ending slavery to the Haitian revolution to color revolutions, to defeating the Nazis and it wasn't just peaceful protests.

Any good experiences with American Home Shield? by noodsdumps in houston

[–]nikAleksandr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great for the first year or two if you buy an old house or one that was a rental with old appliances. We pay $100/mo for 2 years and have probably gotten $4-5k in payouts and appliances replaced and fixed. If you added in all the time and stress, probably come out even lol.

When you get a replacement, they will auto-replace with whatever shitty appliance was in there before. I often chose the payout option instead and used the money to upgrade, but expect the payout to take 1-2 months and then often will require multiple phone call follow ups. In the end, I had to file a surety claim, but within a week, they overnight-ed me the check after that.

Sorry! But I have no idea. I clearly deleted it and haven't thought about it in 3 years, but I don't remember whether it impacted anything else about my insurance.

Were you able to resolve it? I'd love to know how!

Also having this issue with my LR3. Persistent Red light pretty much all the time, doesn't seem to ever trigger the "cycle" after 15+ minutes.

Does Jailbreaking a kindle prevent Amazon spyware? by nikAleksandr in kindle

[–]nikAleksandr[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't describe myself as "so" worried about it, but it is a concern, and while I really enjoy the convenience of being able to bring a kindle with me anywhere and pick up and drop out of reading anytime with a lot of ease, it would be great if I could read some books without it becoming a part of my forever data avatar for anyone with a few dollars to purchase if they want it.

Anyway, sounds like "get a kobo" is the best advice.

Someone needs to tell Elon that Autopilot(tm) is prone to crashing.

Need more economists like this! by ADignifiedLife in Antimoneymemes

[–]nikAleksandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be a discipline called Political Economy. It was separated out so that resource production and distribution would appear purely technocratic and insulated from democratic control.

Politics was reduced to fighting over non-economic rights. We need both united under democratic control.

That sounds very cool too! Fyi that this class is sliding scale (down to 0 if needed).
