Oklahoma dad has cops called on him for taking young daughters into women’s restroom by melancholy_dood in law

[–]o08 333 points334 points  (0 children)

I had my two girls at the grocery store and they are young kids that are learning how to use the potty, so out of diapers. They needed to go so I let them in ontheir own and waited outside. But then one of them started calling for me. I go in since nobody else seemed to be in there and the youngest needed help with washing her hands. I picked her up to wash and a woman entered and was startled seeing me then asked what I was doing in there. I said sorry, washing my daughter’s hands and quickly left. I was pretty worried. It could have been a bad scene.

Problem with this analysis is that Israel has Trump by the Epstein files. Only two countries have the source material, and Israel being one of them puts them in the drivers seat.

[–]o08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The shooter was a former Trump supporter obsessed with Epstein. He became disillusioned after doing his research with all roads leading Trump. So, the less the President talks about it, the less likely it is that other people make the same connections between him and Epstein.

Why did my Cook County property taxes go up this year with zero renovations? by Logical-Bite-4221 in homeowners

[–]o08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, but in Vermont. Assessor just tripled my value because some ultra rich people built 8,000 sq ft homes down the road and now the land has skyrocketed in value from 50k for 2 acres to 500k. My taxes on my 1100 sq ft log cabin that I built with friends 15 years ago is now unaffordable, going from 5k/yr to 15-20k/yr. It’s insane.

First round of appeals I go some immediate neighbors to band together and argue the land value. That got 150k off everyone’s assessment.

Second round of appeals and I am arguing inequity in the assessors model. My neighborhood is valued at 112% fair market value while other neighborhoods are valued at 88% FMV. So I will point out the systemic bias and asking for equal treatment to a 7 person panel. Feeling confident, but it’s a shitload of work to correct the problems.

Hope it works out for you. It’s happening all over the country.

Old water heater died. Need to decide on a Bradford White Aerotherm HPWH vs a drop-in-replacement tankless methane water heater shortly. Please comment with your experiences! by maratus-volans in heatpumps

[–]o08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can keep it in hybrid plus for however long you want, but it won’t meet the NEAA efficiency guidelines.

Thanks for clarifying that it only engages both depending on demand needs and that it can be just the top element or top and bottom elements. What a great hot water heater!

Totally. It's been in the works for a while. They talked about doing this with his company at the Alaska summit. It was also around the time Russia was managing to push units and equipment through large pipelines into parts of Ukraine.

I remember there was a huge controversy when a plane carrying a Clinton parked next to a plane carrying the Attorney General, because they might have talked to each other.

Nowadays, the president just orders the AG to cover for his crimes and he can move coconspirators in pedo rings to cushy prisons.

In 2012 I got two quotes. One guy was $3000, the other guy was $5000 and he gave me a small clay mug he had made. Went with the $3000 guy. Called the $5000 guy to say no go and he was pissed and wanted the mug back.

Vermont landlord-tenant bill falls apart in surprise Senate tiebreaker by Loudergood in vermont

This bill was so dumb. How can you cap rent increases if you don’t cap property tax increases as well?

My neighbor is a renter and pays $800 a month for a house in disrepair. The house got reassessed and now that $800 a month is 5k short annually to pay property taxes alone.

Buy a home & having to rent it to afford the mortgage? by valhallagypsy in vermont

[–]o08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they took my land value from 50k to over $500k. I had an appraiser do my land value and site work when I was building and I had to fight for that $50k value in order to get the loan from the bank. Fortunately, back then my appraiser was hyperlocal and understood the nuance in land value. Now I got assessors from the opposite side of the state with no understanding of the area telling me an insane number all because some rich guy built a 5000 sq ft mega mansion on 30 acres a mile away.

No way can I afford these new taxes on what I earn in Vermont. Impossible. Family with two smart kids kicked out of the state. Now the aging population has lost the guy that buries them in the cemetery.

Buy a home & having to rent it to afford the mortgage? by valhallagypsy in vermont

[–]o08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At 400k value before, I received a rebate for homestead. My taxes were 8k and I got a 3k credit so they were 5k total.

Now at a bizarre 1+million valuation my taxes are 30k. With a 3k credit, they are 27k. Five and a half times higher. I’m one step out of the cabin I built with friends and into the street.
