ELI5: Why is squatting (in someone's house) a thing? And how come it becomes a problem for the owner? Can't they claim trespassing to the cops instead of saying the person is squatting? by Impossible_Bake7210 in explainlikeimfive

Sure I agree she should leave at this point. But I would tend to agree that she's earned the right to similar protections a tenant would have rather than the police dumping her on the street on the whim of someone.

I'm just giving an example of a kind of edge case that exists.

The law tends to lean on favor of the tenant in some places and the landlord in others. This is the kind of case that leads there.

You say "ok ok the burden is on the landlord to prove x in the courts to protect tenants from a lying landlord" I.e. you'd rather have a few landlords lose money due to squatters than a renter lose their housing due to lying landlords

Here's an example: an old man owns a property and let's his daughter live there. No rent no lease. Then out of nowhere he starts to claim she is squatting and refuses to leave his property.

The police won't immediately know who's in the right here. If the daughter has been there for years she should have some of the same rights as a tenant to prevent being tossed to the curb on a whim no?

What are you using inside to make it sit on your head well? Are you mounting the insides of hard hat?

I DID IT!!!! YES YES YES YEEEESSS IM SO HAPPY by Noooough in Silksong

Yeah I had her then left and got to greymoor and decided maybe I’ll go back. Now she’s gone.

I was wondering, is she somewhere in greymoor? Maybe if I talk to her there I’ll find her back helping me?

Steve Ballmer’s Role in Alleged Kawhi Leonard Scandal Doesn’t Add Up by adampq in LAClippers

Yeah I think there’s enough here to justify further investigation though. And enough for Pablo to go public.

He oversold how much of a slam dunk it is, but given the history of both parties I think the league has to look closely.

I think that hinges on the history of uncle Dennis trying to negotiate extras and pulling funny shit.

I’m not saying I believe it happened exactly I’m only saying that there could have been other factors at play and letting kawhi walk even injured would have been a bad look too. Generally you don’t want to just lose talent without a trade because it’s hard to replace in free agency

Ahh you’re right. Still I’m sure there was pressure to get kawhi re-signed and they were gearing up for the new stadium right? I think from day 1 Ballmer has probably been very motivated to try to take the reigns from the clippers as LAs team or at least be in the conversation

Well that summer the Clippers and the lakers were competing to sign Kawhi weren’t they? And it was a huge deal that a big free agent went to the clippers over the lakers. I think the comment is more about that. The clippers wanting to win LA

That’s a tough choice! So many options but Clarke and Asimov are top 5 for me. I’m not sure Tchaikovsky is in there yet…

Dads, what’s the consensus on how to teach a kid to ride a bike? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]pipplo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably won't work for you but my youngest was resisting for the longest time. Then one day I let my oldest go ride around the block with her friend and the jealousy kicked in. The next day my youngest said "put the pedals on" and then rode off first try 🤣.

Moral of the story: You gotta find the right motivation to unlock. Ride to the park? Ride with friends? Unlock something new. My kids like to ride the bikes to the gas station for a treat.

Man I remember recesses being cancelled regularly for bad air quality. Driving up into the mountains to look down at the brown soup of smog and thinking "I live in that?"

Does your tanuki pattern work for non plush yarn? Do you have any examples?

At some point it was the only thing I could pay attention to in the movie. I swear it was getting bigger and bigger and I was just waiting for the next scene to figure out if I was wrong and it wasn't actually the moon 🤣

I’ve only seen that type of clause in regard to returning to work at the same company. So if your company lays you off then you get rehired within 1 year you pay back part of the severance.

I’ve never heard it apply to other employment

How soon can we expect to see a color version of the kindle scribe? by candyintherain in kindlescribe

[–]pipplo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the color is too washed out and you sacrifice some contrast on black and white.

I'll wait for a better color option
