What rights do they have. There is a big difference between they have (or plan to have) a tunnel under your house if the vein of whatever they are mining happens to go that way, and they have rights to knock down your house. Different states have different rules.

Oil is a liquid so if they have a well on your neighbor's land they are taking "your" oil so it makes sense to make them buy out the entire neighborhood - but they are don't need to access your surface, the pump elsewhere is enough. Similar for underground mines, they follow the vein of mineral wherever, and don't care what you do on the surface.

However there are other cases where their pit mine gets bigger and they need to take your land and your can do nothing about it since they have those rights they give you notice and a check (they probably have to buy your house, but maybe not!) and you have to leave in a few months.

In between they can put a well or ventilation shaft in your backyard, but other than having to look at it forever, and the time when they build it there isn't much loss of your yard (some loss, but not much).

The good news, in places where this is done all the time the courts and law have worked out all the details. The contracts tend to be 1 page that just refers to the hundreds of pages of legal documents saying how things are done. (by contrast if you lease land for a wind turbine it will be hundreds of pages - the legal details are not known so they have to cover all the details) You can go to a local cafe and ask a stranger and probably get reasonably good advice since everyone will know what really happens based on what happened to someone else. Or half an hour with a lawyer and get real information.

The bad news, different states have different rules. Sometimes cities or counties also have rules. As such there is no way anyone can say anything without knowing exactly where you live.

Swiss banhs used to do this, but not anymore. Cayman islands is said to do this but I don't know details. Otherwise russia or north korea might help. nothing where you should trust your money to though.

note that even though you might find a place to do this it is still illegal and it is generally not hard to follow money trails so you ard likely to be caught.

That Is one reason why I choose to join a kbin instance back in the day. Many lemmy devs are scummy people who support this.

i try to block all .ml groups so I don't engage them. You should too.

How does trumb have this power? Taxes should start in congress

Like Mormons, many christian groups consider the theological differences strong enough to not call them christian. Of course Christian is a label that was applied by outsiders to talk about this new sect and so I guess really what counts could be how outsiders think of them.

Take your pick. You can argue either way.

I wouldn't call them a cult - they have some elements like a cult, but I want to reserve the word cult to something a little stronger/less moral. Cults tend to abuse children (child abuse is everywhere, but cults it would be part of them) or commit mass suicide.

Note that you never notice the things you are doing wrong. So you yell at the person tailgating you, while not caring that you are following too close. When someone else doesn't use a turn signal they are an idiot, when you don't it was a honest mistake.

I can still hate choices that are hostile to my ability to use teams. I still miss lynx which did much better for my needsi

There is a tradeoff. When someone is sharing a screen I want to see more of their screen. A powerpoint should 10 lines mx of large font. A screen share often needs me to see what they do and zoom in loses useful lines - to teams things I don't even care about.

It demands too much screen space. you can't rum less than full screen without losing important things. Even full screen I often can' see the presentation clearly because it shrunk the presentation in favor of avitars / videos of other people.

now that I'm old I cannot see tiny text like I used to. I thus get really mad at useless spate while I'm strurgling to read the presentation. you will understand when you turn 45 too.

Having checked the mod logs I avoid anything from there. They regularly show up a deleting insightful comments - I thus wish to 'punish' the instance by ignoring is. I hope that makes it less valuable to everyone who uses it.

alone I'm almost nothing of course but others are like me and together .ml is the worse.

yes but you have to open both shutters at the same time. The ground doesn't have a shutter.

Sockets with flaps are code in the us too and have been for a while.

All will if there is a load. Doesn't matter ac of dc or even load. Plug an ethernet cable in and there will be a spark.

Most of the time the spark is tiny and you need a good lab to measure it though.

so now I can get 7 difierent names with different birthdates. Then I use one to do some fraud under a new name. when the police investigate I have an id of someone else and can throw the old name away.

The trail will last to the next. For that matter in this case the administration would investigate if they suspect something and thus follow the trail.

Also pipelines. sure there is enough oil but canada has a pipeline to minnesota so canadan oil is what they use. North dakota oil does go through minnesota but to a different refinery someplace east that can use it.

brakes are not generally on the list for more than an inspection - which quick lube plates won't do.

That depends on how they act. China right now is on a path where I'd oppose them replacing the US. However the EU has the ability to replace the US as the global superpower - they don't because despite some significant differences overall the US and EU get along well and so they don't see any point. By cooperating the EU gains the things they want from being a global superpower without the disadvantages. Part of that cooperation is the EU is in NATO (mostly?) and so they are paying some of the military costs of the US being a global super power.

The US isn't perfect by any means, but we have done much better in many ways vs previous global superpowers. Right now I'd predict China would be worse so I oppose it. However who knows how things will change in the future.

That depends on where you are coming from. English has enough German and Latin roots that most of Europe has a head start when learning English. (linguists will define roots different from what I'm using and say English doesn't have Latin roots, but there is still significant influence)

If you are coming from an African language though it probably won't make much difference. Though in Africa there is a good chance your nation was controlled by Europe over the years and so you might know enough of some European language to make English easier.
