No, not a knology shill. But I've been supporting RR for a while now, and I think I'll stop. And call my brother. My mom probably isn't getting shafted, and probably wouldn't care that much anyway. Oh, and not recommend RR to any of my clients anymore. And call my client that's on Knology that suggested 2 weeks ago that she might be considering switching to RR, and tell her not to, please.
And then I'm going to send RR an angry letter. AAAARRRRRGHHH!!!! Oh, and be rude while I'm canceling my service. I'll be like, "Hey asshole, why are you shaping my packets?" and the support man/lady will be like, "What?" And I'll be like, "Fuck this shit, send me a customer satisfaction survey."
And then I'm marking it AAAALLLLL zeros. Because I can. And I am super-consumer.
You had to get a lawyer because our legal system is designed around them. If you lived in a democracy with simple laws lawyers would not be needed.
Our landlord had just purchased the place, and was still making repairs. One thing we stated very clearly was that we NEEDED the garage, because we were 7 people, and I have a home-based business. He said that the previous owner had a lot of garbage in the garage, and it would be cleaned out and we'd be provided access, then he would finish the garage. He also stated that he had already ordered the replacement parts for the broken A/C, and the panes for the broken windows. He said he would have a team come by and throw out the broken glass and things in the back yard.
We moved into the place May 28th, with prorated rent, and everyone signed the lease. The first week, the roof leaked into the downstairs kitchen. I immediately left a voicemail for my landlord. Then the upstairs shower leaked into the kitchen. The landlord said he would fix it. The front door handle was an old-style latch that was improperly mounted, and it would twist when you pressed it. We notified the landlord that it was going to break, and he said he was trying to find a vintage handle, but it was very hard to, because the door was old. Because of the moisture behind the bathroom wall (from the roof leak), the paint began to peel. We notified the landlord.
Tony finally cleaned up the garbage in the back yard.
I continued to tell him how important the garage was to us, because I also play music, and couldn't play in the house. I told him I was miserable being unable to play music, and I was losing money because my home office was in the dining room, stacked to the ceiling with stuff. My brother had his drumkit and other stuff stored in his room, as did I. The living room was stacked chest-high with stuff.
The front door handle broke in August, and we had to climb in through the window for a week until finally a handyman came out to replace it with a cheapo door handle. In that time, I had a laptop stolen. We don't live IN the ghetto, but about 2 blocks away from it. Coincidence? Sure, why not.
Mid-August, after he became increasingly accusatory and aggressive, I finally sent him a registered letter demanding $300/mo back for the garage space every month (correlating to the percentage of the total house floorspace we were being deprived of). Then he started working on the garage. In this time period, I was under a lot of stress, and began having night terrors. I was sleeping in the sun room, and I had put a latch on the door, because it didn't close properly. One night, I had a terror and thought the roof was caving in on me, so I tried to leave my room quickly, splitting the door from corner to corner.
He finally fixed the garage, fixed two of the broken windows. We notified the landlord after he finally cleaned out his garbage in the garage, and I offered to handle it for him. He looked at the stain on the ceiling in the kitchen for the third time and said, "Oh, I've never seen that before." He looked at the collapsing bathroom wall, and said, "Oh, I've never seen that before."
In November, we began being more threatening to him about the roof leak, and about the shower. We were concerned that the lease said that we were responsible for not notifying the landlord of damage, and he kept claiming he hadn't received notification. By this time, I had spent over 100 hours studying landlord-tenant law, writing letters, putting in screens, etc.
Mid-December, I sent him a letter of material non-compliance, which pursuant FL statutes states we aren't required to pay if he doesn't meet basic housing standards, doesn't follow certain laws about housing standards, or breaks the lease. He was doing all three. He sent us a letter stating basically that it was cute of us to send him a form letter, and assuring us that his lawyer did a much better job. Then he sent us a letter of eviction, retaliatory action that was again
Those who call lawyers useless aren't being very open minded. Lawyers may be a melamine-free source of protein, but I think my cat would prefer something a bit less bony than the head.
I had to get a lawyer because my landlord was a slimy, conniving liar. And it's turned out to be some of the best money I've ever spent, because before I was spending loads of time doing all the paperwork and covering my own ass. Now the lawyer does it. And he's a nice guy, to boot. Shocking.
I often hear about people complaining of "bad role models" on TV, and they talk about characters like Cartman on South Park. Now Cartman IS a bad role model. But you're not SUPPOSED to like him. You're supposed to be annoyed at him and enjoy his friends prove him wrong. Whatever happened to learning by example of fools?
I wonder. I notice this about songs about death, pain, emotions someone might have sometimes, doing the wrong thing, etc. People have a hard time figuring out how this could be positive for someone. I still don't understand being emo, though.
If your child is looking up to an arrogant asshole, he may have other problems that need addressing first.
More likely, you need to notice that your child looks up to you first, then others. Then you need to stop acting like an arrogant asshole around your kid. It'll probably be good for your soul, at least if most major religions including most sects of atheism are to be believed.
Antec offers nice simple cases and gaudy ones. My current case is rolled steel and aluminum. Simple and clean. Not a beige box, but it doesn't have landing lights either.
If you insulate the plug for the landing lights from the plug that the power comes from by about a half inch of, well, anything, you can avoid the landing lights. Though I do hate having danglies on my computer. F-ing danglies. I had a Sonata, and it made me so very happy except for those danglies for that stupid double-barrel blue spotlight on the front. I'm much more a fan of their utilitarian series, which in prime utilitarian fashion, has no stupid giant lights.
And now I have a P180, which while not fulfilling my life completely, comes very close. I defy any Mac user to sincerely argue that you can actually say that a Mac Pro is better looking than a P180. But I suppose half of them clicked the probably Reply button before reading this sentence. I guess the Mac Pro case would probably cost a lot more if you purchased it separately. Oh, man... [offtopic] I just had a great idea. Someone needs to call Apple and tell them that your case broke, and you need a replacement part, lol. I would love to have a Mac Pro case. Despite what I said about the P180 [/offtopic]
APPLE SUPPORT: Thank you for calling Apple. How may I assist you today? ME: My case broke, and I need a replacement part, lol. AS: What? ME: I said my case broke, and I need a replacement part, lol. AS:...
Maybe I can affect this whole thread with fake tags: [/offtopic]:-)
No kidding. I'm a teacher and let me tell you, the worst role models are the people intentionally trying to be a role model.
At least that certainly can't be your primary intention. I sometimes do something because I feel it affects my image in a way that may have a positive affect on others. I'm more concerned with my internal relationship to myself, but I don't think the ego making you do something that the part of you that recognizes larger-scale truths would want you to do is necessarily bad. Rather, it should maybe function as a backup moral compass, and not your only one.
I think the sarcasm may have gone over your head, but I suppose that maybe there's sarcasm going somewhere over my head right now as well. But yes, I am a colossal/. noob compared to you.:-) -Nathan
That's because you can just pee sitting down(which is better for you medically)
not to harrass you or anything, but references please? I'm sincerely interested.
I'm willing to put the seat down for women, but I balk at admitting that it's a matter of right and wrong, which I've run into a lot. It's a matter of courtesy and chivalry and the guy being a nice guy. It took my girlfriend a looooooong time to understand that my inconvenience at having to lift the toilet seat was as important as her inconvenience at having to put it down. We compromise and leave the actual cover down as well, which is at least more sanitary and therefore is beneficial to us both. (no I will not provide references. lol)

It would also greatly reduce weapon-based math. You don't want us to be even further behind the Chinese, do you?
