Ohh, that news story in "For All Mankind" makes a lot more sense. Alternate timeline, we didn't give it back.

I just had my screen replaced because the L in LCD started oozing all over. It was $2200 which didn't include the radio that cost an extra $500. So, not 10k, but not cheap either. On the plus side, outside of New tires, that's the only thing I've done to the car in 8 years.

Using your link and a quick search about filial laws: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dallasnews.com/sponsored/2022/08/28/the-parent-trap-filial-responsibility-laws-cause-financial-havoc-for-children/%3foutputType=amp

"Most of the 30 states that have filial laws do not enforce them"

I guess I was lucky that my father and I did not live in one of those states. But, 100% agreed that it's beyond up that it CAN be a thing in some states. Seriously, wtf.

Neither, just passing on my experience. I didn't have any lawyers involved and it was pretty much telling them to fuck off and not paying the bills that came in his name.

Debt to an individual dies with that individual unless the other person cosigned or if the debt was tied to collateral. They can sue the estate, but it's a slog to do that and basically no one will. Debt collectors will, however, claim that all of this will happen and threaten away to the point where people either get scared or tired of the harassment and give up and "make payments". IANAL, but I went through this with my Dad when he passed. We were able to have his estate (a 5 figure sum) pass down to me without the medical debt collectors getting any of it.

It's a common thing to say in context. As a headline though, it's absolutely click bait. "The Supreme Court is on the ballot" was heard over and over in 2016 which turned out to be 100% true.

You can only threaten to cancel if there's an alternative. I tried this and they were like: okay man, just be forewarned that there's a connection fee when you come back.

They were right, it was more $ to follow through with my threat and they knew it.

I don't think so in this context. This is probably more like SSL cert trusting or some private/public key pair.

I'm saying that the writers comparing what they deserve to a whole company's revenue isn't applicable. Comparing Disney plus revenue is applicable, but they didn't do that. Likewise with others like Apple, Amazon (seriously???), Sony , etc (minus pure streaming companies like Netflix)

Those numbers are not even close to accurate unless you think that the revenue of the Disney parks should pay for D+ writers, etc. Don't get me wrong, the writers strike has real value to the writers, but showing cherry picked numbers that aren't pertinent to the issue doesn't help.

If I teach a class that needs a vm, I'm making damned sure everyone uses the same type.
