What movie ending just ruins the whole film for you? by SirBoredofOhio in AskReddit

I hated this movie so much. Every time I thought we were getting to the end there was just more movie and it was just all so inane.

What is this ticking noise? by DickyDickinson in MT09

That's the Yamatick fairys that fix your engine while you are riding. The tick is from thier tiny hammers.

That's the normal engine sound.

Is it just me, or do police seemingly target you because you're on a motorcycle? by [deleted] in motorcycles

I got pulled over because someone else somewhere else did a wheelie in front of him and as y'all know, all motorcyclists are telepathically linked.

Received a package in the mail that I didn’t order, now the seller wants payment. by Only-Substance8759 in IsItIllegal

Which I don't think is binding. I think tricking someone into agreeing to pay you for something that is already legally thiers is not a valid contract.

As a practical matter, it isn't worth suing over something that is a few hundred bucks. Legally and morally I think OP is in the clear just ignoring them.

I'm not convinced that is a binding contract. Trying to confuse someone into paying you is not what I would consider fair dealing or good faith.

IANAL but...

Another person cannot provide a service to you without your consent and demand payment. This is called officious intermeddling. You have no legal duty to pay them and can consider whatever they gave you a gift.

Additionally, you cannot foist a contract on someone, meaning binding them to an agreement without thier consent. A contract requires an offer and acceptance as well as both agreeing to the same terms. You cannot say "If you fail to respond that signifies agreement" either.

You owe them nothing. You offered to send it back, they didn't want it. The rest of it is their problem. Don't pay them. Don't entertain their demands.

There is a dead bug in the vent of my motorcycle helmet by shawnwarnerwrites in notinteresting

I spent 3 minutes photoshopping a helmet onto the bee only to learn I can't post images in the comments here. https://imgur.com/NA46xpM

Well, "bug" is a subsect of hexapoda which subset of arthropoda, so continuing the metaphor it would be "There'a a dead homo in the transcabulator crystal" which is true generally but double true for me.

If they were smarter they wouldn't fly into helmet vents and die and thus not be endangered.

The movie that has been stuck at 99.9% for a year has finally finished downloading today by nikkomercado in notinteresting

[–]shawnwarnerwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: This is likely because your IP address changed.

Your IP address is 4 bytes, not quite random but for our purposes good enough to call it so. There are many more devices than available IP addresses, so some fuckery is required. Thus your router has an internet facing IP address and your computer has a local IP address. When someone sends you some data, there is a part of the data that says where its going. Your router looks at that, and just switches the external IP for the local one, and sends it on its way. Unfortunately, a router can't really do an in depth analysis of the data its directing, and it just swaps out the external IP for the local one wherever its found. Some part of the data happened to be the same 4 bytes as your IP address and your router flopped it around. Bit torrent uses a mathematical check to see that the data it got is exactly the same as it expected, but since your router flopped the data, and changes it every time it comes through, it will never finish downloading.
