If your car is totaled, any dents and dings don't matter.

> someone else left a windshield note with their phone # last month saying "sorry about your car" but I couldn't tell at all what they did to it

Maybe they didn't do anything and were just sorry about what kind of car you drive?

You can damage a car in such a way that it becomes a total loss at any speed.

Nice line work, but in terms of composition the complex geometry of the house is fighting with the colorful trees for your attention. My eyes don't know which they should look at.

Aight thanks

If it makes you feel any better, it was probably new charges based on evidence from investigating the previous charges, not necessarily new crimes.

It's pretty hard to take a picture of something without doing that thing.

I can't help but hear the Jaws theme in my head when I watch this

Yeah that whole site is pro-police. See the people behind it: https://liveboston617.org/team/

Insufficient training to build the proper muscle memory, maybe. I'm sure it doesn't help that tasers are gun-shaped.

So you don't know it, and you're just assuming.

I don't see anything in the article about him threatening or approaching the officers. How do you know this?

If we had, either it would be very obvious by all the buildings falling over, or you would already be dead.

Military pilots do it all the time. Usually it's just drawing dicks in the sky with their flight patterns, but once in a (fortunately) long while it's actually something dangerous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Cavalese_cable_car_crash

But you only ever heard about the times that it ends in disaster.

What does your lease say?

You could argue that it was misrepresented and agree to terminate the lease, if you don't want to live there. If you like it otherwise, tell them you'll buy a new washer and dryer and deduct it from the rent. As for the AC, not much you can do about that. Maybe ask for another reduction, but if they said it's already reduced then that's not likely.

I'm not aware of any specific provision in Massachusetts regarding misrepresentation of housing. It's probably just covered by regular contract law.

Good news, if you're just getting a soda, it should only be a dollar or two. You should still tip like it's a regular drink ($1-2 for cans, drafts, and simple mixed drinks, 20% for cocktails that take skill). That doesn't include any cover though.

In my experience (as a straight man, at least), they don't. I'd just get a soda and nurse that for a while.

There are also non-alcoholic beers like Athletic Brewing and Heineken Zero, if that works for you.

If you have a drink in your hand, even if it doesn't have alcohol, do people really bug you about it?

I'll take cold over ticks any day

"No take, only throw"

It could be the same, too.

My understanding is that it's because the few possessions and connections they have are here, and they don't want to have to start over from zero.

BAE is seventh and headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia.

No, but no energy production has zero environmental impact.

Nuclear power's biggest environmental impact is actually building the plants and warming local water sources when they're used for cooking. Nuclear waste can be reprocessed to turn 97% of it back into fuel. The remainder can be safely stored in a facility like Yucca Mountain.

It depends.

In any case, if caught, you're likely to only get a talking to, not any civil or criminal action. Last time I went dumpster diving I just got a "hey, you can't be in there, get out".
