…dogs have conscious functioning.

I have been thinking of him as “the mayonnaise” personally.

Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are bad questions.

Your neighbor is legally correct, unless the roots are causing significant damage, in which case you can probably get them held liable for repair.

Don’t give him advice, for fuck’s sake. He’s the bad guy in this scenario.

I hope you realize that you are the bad guy in this scenario.

You have the right to trim limbs that hang over your property, as long as it doesn’t damage the health of the tree. That’s it. You can’t kill part of a tree, just like you can’t kill part of a person or part of a cow or whatever else.

Your neighbor is not crazy for wanting the tree to remain healthy. Trees are a good thing for both the environment and for mental health and are important for providing shade in a warming world. Their leaf litter is also important for insects and birds.

Getting so worked up about some leaves that you want to kill somebody else’s clearly beloved tree suggests that you are being unreasonable. Invest in a leaf blower or hire someone to deal with the leaves if it’s such a big deal to you. Or, better yet, leave them so they can help the local environment.

Someone’s never heard of tree law. If you do go this route, please update us when you get sued.

I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.

Thanks.

It’s pretty obvious from the context.

If I learned this after I had booked, I would be expecting a refund as well as compensation for missing the conference if I couldn’t find alternative accommodation.

H&S?

Property taxes are the base funding for numerous local government services, including sewers, water, roads, jails, deputies, school building construction and teacher salaries — “pretty much the most basic of government,” said North Dakota Association of Counties Executive Director Aaron Birst.

I guess if that’s really what they want to defund, then go for it, but don’t expect any federal dollars.

One video I saw some twenty years ago was so disturbing due to how clearly distraught the female was that I haven’t been able to think of koalas the same ever since. Like, she might have developed koala PTSD, it was that brutal.

“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.

“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.

Edit:

The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…

The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.

A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.

Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.

Just watch a koala documentary and it may well be in there.

Bad autocorrect. Thanks.

What the fuck is going on in Indiana?

Maybe instead, Israel trying to provoke WWIII means we should get out of the area.

I’ve seen enough videos of rapey koalas to know that they sure as hell do pursue females.
