re: Trump Administration is reportedly working on 15 year car loans

If the market can bear this, it should. If not, it shouldn't. The federal government shouldn't be involved, either way.
ETA: I've seen nothing from anyone in the actual administration about this?

We have several junk drawers/cabinets, along with a junk room. It is maddening.

If you don’t think they are getting something besides their name on a building, I don’t know what to tell you.
Not for workers' comp, I don’t think. ETA: I see in LA, you can. But they can make OLOL the preferred network for what they provide (which I'm sure they will, if its not already).
And they can definitely privately contract the injuries that occur there to go to their ER. I can virtually guarantee that would be in there (with obvious exceptions).

I know a fella that owns and operates a very successful construction company, probably does 3-4 million a year. He built a house and rents it out as section 8 and guess who the tenant is? His GF and 3 kids, he also lives there but uses the address of his business as his place of residence. His GF doesn't work and all their kids are on Medicare.
re: My neighborhood was invaded tonight
Posted by Gravitiger on 11/1/25 at 7:28 am to ClemsonKitten
We live in an older-skewing neighborhood. Most of the families have grown kids or teenagers and have lived here a long time.
I was really touched at how much work the older folks put into making a great trick-or-treat experience for us younger families in the neighborhood (and the hundreds of outsiders who came in). Lots of well decorated yards and houses, people sitting out dressed up on porches/driveways, pots of chili/hot chocolate, etc.

re: Is it illegal to plead guilty to a crime you didn’t commit?
Posted by Gravitiger on 10/31/25 at 3:58 pm to OysterPoBoy
I don't know if the guilty plea itself is illegal, but if you lie in the course of allocution, that would be perjury. I imagine it could also meet the elements of obstruction of justice or making false statements to LEO or something like that.

Middle school plays on Tuesday night. It’s a high school varsity game and this year’s team don’t make the playoffs. My daughter is a senior and this will be her last game ever as a cheerleader. Do you think, as her father, I’d miss this?

This year we’re getting out of having to hand out Halloween candy this year because my daughter is on the cheer squad and the last regular season game is that night. We’ll leave a little before 5 and get home probably about 10.
