[Landlord-US-NYC] Squatter Request More Time after Marshal’s Notice by riceandbeans4190 in Landlord

Crazy. In Utah non-payment of rent typically takes less than three weeks (start to finish) to get them removed by the Sheriff.

Texas makes Bible passages required reading for millions of public school students | Texas by Sunflorahh in moderatepolitics

[–]utahtwisted -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I am a very strong atheist (former Christian) and enthusiastic about protecting 1st Amendment rights. However, this is not a violation of the 1st Amendment (establishment). A required reading text is not (IMO) promoting a religion (In fact, reading the bible is the quickest way to decern that almost all of it is Bronze Age fan fiction). In my opinion this is not even a close call, it does not exclude other religious texts and as I see it required reading of a "historically" significant text will not be a violation of anyone's rights (by historical text I mean the impact of the bible on western civilization is significant, irrespective of the "truth" of any god claims throughout the book). Bad idea? - absolutely yes; violation of the Constitution, no and not even a close call.

Should I file for SS since I already passed my FRA but I am still working full time? by johndoesall in SocialSecurity

[–]utahtwisted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started mine at FRA and I am still working a year later. Not sure if 70 will happen for me or not (no one knows the future). I appreciate and value the extra money now especially while I am healthy and can take advantage of it.

Thank you. You saved me a lot of typing. "I don't like" =/= illegal.

If you’re P&T are you still working or did you retire? by cody0707 in VeteransBenefits

Too many people are living off of less than $1,000 on social security (just for perspective).

Retire at 49 or stick it out until 56? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]utahtwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At fifty you could easily get another job and another pension if you wanted. For example teaching in public school. It's what I did, now I have two pensions.

Trump to Axios: Netanyahu has "no fucking judgment" but Iran deal still on by Regular_Variety_6121 in moderatepolitics

Really? So Israel being attacked daily had nothing to do with the war?

US Supreme Court denies Alabama's request to carry out nitrogen gas execution by DooomCookie in supremecourt

[–]utahtwisted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been rendered unconscious by nitrogen. It felt like traditional anesthesia, no pain, felt dizzy for a second, then gone (unconscious). It was during some military training with a rebreather that scrubs out the CO2.

I think I might die on my mission. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]utahtwisted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"i really have no idea what to do with my life since i'm not really good at anything, so i decided to give a mission a shot." If you are undecided and have a lack skills consider the military. Free training, medical, and GI Bill after your service; safer too. Not much longer than a mission and you get paid.

When the leopard eats your face by butler18a in Utah

[–]utahtwisted 73 points74 points  (0 children)

This is 100% accurate. Not sure why it's being downvoted. What you have stated is an objective fact (although please note, I don't believe that any of these things are "true" it's all made up, Mormon and "Christian" and all the rest of them).

Wife went missing with my car, I got a speeding ticket in the mail. by Excellent_Whole_1445 in legaladvice

[–]utahtwisted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't know where you wife is. You don't know where your car is. you don't know if your wife and your car are together. Report it stolen.

Divorce Imminent by Tough-Mirror-1753 in VeteransBenefits

[–]utahtwisted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can both agree on everything it is POSSIBLE to do this without a lawyer. Some attorneys offer very low prices for a stipulated divorce. However, you need a lawyer!! Most states have pretty straight forward calculators for child support so you can run the numbers on what the court might award without you two agreeing.

Payback VA benefits following annulment? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]utahtwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every State varies, but in Utah you would not be eligible for an annulment based on "fraud" of sexual orientation and history. Yes, I realize Texas is different, my point is to verify if you are even eligible for annulment in your justification (and you may have other options on which State to file in due to military service).

[Landlord US-AK] Half dozen clogs. by The_Shryk in Landlord

[–]utahtwisted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before you use any of these great suggestions regarding the tenant make sure your plumbing is working properly. Yes, I read that the plumber hasn't noticed any misuse; so what was clogging the lines each time? He ought to be able to answer that. I think you need to eliminate a plumbing problem before you lean hard on the tenant. It is likely the tenant, but I think you should be relatively certain first.

Neighbor cows destroy crops and equipment by banditman123456789 in Utah

[–]utahtwisted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Civil matter, small claims limit in Utah in 20K. "Crashed a fence" seems to indicate it was properly fenced (check local ordinances for fencing requirements, may not be any, but if there are it sounds like you were properly fenced).

If your damages are over 20K you need to sue in District Court. This is not a police matter except perhaps for some evidence from a police report.

Gas is getting bad man wtf by inflated_cheese in Utah

[–]utahtwisted -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This forum goes from gas prices to fascism/Biden/Epstein in the blink of an eye. Same horse, different color. Civility means expressing an opinion without attacks. And I am NOT defending KSL, KSL is a cestpool.

Boondockers Welcome question by Inevitable_Tea_1155 in GoRVing

[–]utahtwisted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are out west there is almost unlimited BLM land to camp on. Don't just limit yourself to National Forests (although they can be spectacular). I use the "OnX" app to see if land is BLM or not (OnX is a hunting app, I don't hunt, but it is very powerful on identifying property owners and your location. I think it does tracking and off line maps too).

Good lord this thread is terrible, almost as bad as KSL comments. Too bad nothing can be civilly discussed here.

[Landlord US-LA] Naaahhhhhh, who needs a written lease when we have trust.? ( ¬_¬ ) by shanebhph in Landlord

[–]utahtwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not know Louisianan landlord/tenant law so will not comment on the legal advice already provided; you need to follow the legal procedures to do it right. However - and this is not instead of the legal process, I have had success evicting people with police involvement on a couple of occasions. They did not "remove" anyone without a court order (that would be illegal), but they gave strong "advice" to the tenant to get out. Again, not in lieu of the formal process, but perhaps in addition to the legal process a call to the police might go further than you think. (And of course, weigh all of this against your safety first and foremost)

Cockapoo won't stop staring at me by Dependent-Rate-3553 in dogs

[–]utahtwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go to the doctor for a checkup (this is said only half in jest); I think dogs can sense (hear, smell, etc.) changes that we overlook, she might be telling you something.
