CTDummy

Not sure what in my comment is deserving of the hostility but anyway. Nor given the way my comment is phrased, do I think I’m trying to pass myself off as an expert. Just very doubtful of the implication that this guy is going to walk out without a charge.

The modification is usually just that the car shuts off in less than a minute

Which as I suggested, allows for the intent to be demonstrated. My point was a fake car would be pointless, so the point of “it’s still a real car” falls flat. (Edit: also joyriding is still a crime. Hardly funsies)

In general the value of the object determines misdemeanor/felony. Which I’m assuming you might not know, is a huge difference.

Which I agree means he’s not likely to get a full felony charge, but since he broke rule 1 of interacting with the police and admitted to thinking they had value in a statement (allegedly). He could still be facing at least attempted criminal mischief for vandalism (I think). Which isn’t as bad but still potentially a felony.

“When asked how much he believes the camera costs to replace, he stated approximately $1,000-$5,000 proving that Meyer knew it was an expensive real piece of equipment and not a fake replica,” the police report states.

Though the police wording is borderline nonsensical.

Crimes under the felony threshold should be charged as misdemeanor equivalents…

Cops never do that, for reasons you alluded to in your top comment, to deter others from doing it and hoping something sticks. My main point was claiming the had he’s unlikely to be charged is a bit of a stretch.

That doesn’t really seem solid to me. It could be they’re real cars so they can be started/take off, demonstrating the intent. It’s seems like way more effort to make a fake prop car because you still have to get it to the trap area and pass it off right? I doubt much of the charge for car theft has to do with value. For grand theft auto you need to prove they intended to actually steal the car otherwise it’s just joyriding.

At the very least it’d seem like they’d still be up for vandalism/destruction of property, assuming there aren’t more serious charges for damaging security/surveillance equipment.

Neat! All of this is making me sad about the current state of the franchise because I’m now wanting play through the first 3 again.

I thought it could go either way, like single installation or the entire array but no idea. They did fire the entire array and then reseeded life prior to the events of the first game from my understanding.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten in the lore of Halo but my guess would be “hey passing by or living in proximity to this particular massive life destroyer 9000 ring is ok because this one has fired and cleared it’s part of the galaxy/system”. Probably a way to categorise which areas have had their rings triggered for traversal or flood surveillance. Like if three rings fired and each one was successively closer to a forerunner installation it could potentially be a form of early warning. Since all the Halos can be accessed/fired remotely from the Ark which was a forerunner repository of all sentient life. That said, rule of cool is a thing and delta halo does sound cooler than 04.

No problem. The only reason I know is from lazy/entitled property managers who expect to fleece people out of a significant portion of the money they work for and then just do nothing to earn it.

If you pay rent, you’re either paying someone mortgage or straight into their pocket. Keeping the place in a decent or at least liveable condition is the least these people can do. It’s literally their job title, manage the property or else you’d be just paying the property owner directly.

Sure, if you own it. If it’s a shared use machine like alluded to in OP, you leave it because it’s not your responsibility to maintain.

Most front ends have a drain pump filter to catch any debris from your clothes (hair, pocket lint, etc) so they don’t clog the drain hose. I don’t think they’re super common in top loaders though I’ve seen those have similar lint filters as well.

1. Probably not enough traffic or interest for one but you’re free to make one if you like. I wouldn’t mind having a comm for it.
2. This is covered by your rent/strata fees. Put it to them in an email that multiple machines have a notable foul odour and require sanitising, filter clearing and general maintenance. If you’re renting and the property manager doesn’t action your request, email them 1-2 two more times before escalating it to the relevant government body. Here we can even get electricians/plumbing done and have the bill reimbursed by the property manager/owner if they take too long.
3. Personally, don’t increase your labour/expenses to subsidise things other people are responsible for. If you’re getting this because of issue 2, get the property manager to sort it, it’s literally why you pay rent/strata fees. (See end).
4. No idea here so have a lame “wool wash?”

Landlords must:

• Maintain the tenant’s home in a good state of repair and fit for habitation and at the landlord’s expense comply with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards.

Canada seems similar to Aus in so far as there should some decent government resources to find your rights and obligations as a tenant and how to escalate an issue should you get an arsehole property manager that doesn’t do their job.

Personally, I’d much rather have the choice than just have whatever gets slapped together and shipped by a dev. I’m particularly grateful having recently gone to 3440x1040p, just how many game support it and the options I can tweak to get my personal sweet spot of looks vs frames.

If there’s no low, med or high options that a lot of games ship with; no shame in searching “<game> best graphics settings” or some variant. I still do for some games when I can’t be arsed or when the performance sucks due to a random post processing effect being borked and tanking performance. Games are more complex than ever and with essentially endless permutations of hardware configurations, the graphics settings tend to reflect that.

Glad someone finally said it. Reading between the lines bro is begging for cash to pay his AI services subs for his AI gf. He needs a counsellor before he ends up bloke n+1 in an AI related news article.

Found it: OP get help before you end up like this guy. You already sound like you have quite a lot in common.

Yeah that would make sense, wasn’t sure if it was the case though. Cheers for clearing that up.

Yes becoming hysterical enough to be (almost) violent with people because you don’t understand important to me =/= important to the rest world, makes you a giant, unaesthetic arsehole.

Now to the actual point, DMV can someone explain? I thought that’s where Americans go for licensing, maybe vehicle inspection?

You should talk to a therapist. Your post history is consistent in going between wanting to go your own way and dealing with your parents because you’re financially dependent on them due to being on SSI. All the question posts are just bordering on procrastination.

I think i want to earn money to gain experience but i also dont feel ready for a job?

This is what I mean. You’ll never feel “ready” for a job until you get one. No matter where you are there will likely be low skill, low barrier to entry jobs going. They’re shit, they pay fuck all but they’ll pay more than SSI. More importantly you’ll learn some important skills. Namely being accountable to people who aren’t related to you. You’ll probably appreciate the additional income. You’ll probably lose the job because out in the real world you’ll quickly learn that people will only accept excuses for things a few times until they realise it’s a recurring thing.

You’ll then realise “oh shit, not being entirely broke all the time is pretty good actually” and then you can look towards upskilling and/or going back to school. Move out of your parents and let them worry about their hobby~jobs and messy house. Start worrying about your own life. More importantly start doing shit, fucking it up and learning from it. Anyone who told you they immediately knew what they were going to do with their life and didn’t make any mistakes as a young adult is lying or had a trust fund.
