Old story: There was a sale at a big box Electronics store on Seagate Barracuda SCSI-2 Wide 9.1GB drives and I bought 6 of them to give me a 40GB RAID-5 on an old mylex dac960 scsi raid card. Bigtime storage in 1999.
Those fed my 3:1 ratio mp3 sharing site that my uunet bot advertised haha.
As a yank who lived in the UK (East Sussex) for several years, I can share the sentiments of my mates there that they believe we Americans still speak a more traditional version of the language than they do now. Specifically pronunciation of words.
For example, Americans have retained the pronunciation of the final “r” in words like “father” and “mother,” while the UK has dropped it. Americans have maintained the “flat a” sound of cat in words like “path” and “class” whereas the UK has mostly replaced that sound with the “broad a” of “father.”
It's not an exact science, but the rate of change in the language there has gone beyond the 18th century version we Americans still speak today and thus, it can be said American English, at least pronunciation, is more traditional.
probably would not be a stretch to say Lemmy and Mastadon are the real winners after the reddit exodus. Hope spez suffers a catastrophic failure in his IPO.
Why would the legal world take much longer and many more dollars to achieve what this guy can?
The court system here has a huge backlog, so it can literally take a year in MOST cases to get rid of them (if not longer like during Covid). An owner basically has to first call the cops who verify they are not a paying tenant, then weeks later file a petition with the city to have them removed within 90 days, then after 90 days, if they do not vacate, submit a court action to go to court. If they're a no show on the court date several months later, they will finally get forcibly removed a few weeks after the court date. All this because they, squatters have rights:
Why wouldn't everyone just sign a lease to their friend?
If you have friends willing to take the risk of getting injured or hurt in the process, sure, but I don't know anyone who would do that personally.
If the landlord is aware of the squatters and then enters into a lease intended to deprive them of possession, how is that not just an end run around the law?
As stated before, it's a loophole to the squatters rights linked above. Here is SoCal you either wait your turn for your day in court whilst they trash the place OR you do something like this. The law just hasn't caught up and thus why Squatter Hunter is lobbying for change.
Actually he's not, he is using a loophole whereby the owners sign an official lease with him for him to reside there.
The other tenant(s) do not have a lease and therefore are not within the legal right to complain.
edit: He also doesn't do it directly for profit, thus bypassing other laws. His site explains it in a youtube video here: https://squatterhunters.com/about/
“Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are already in Canada and probably Mexico waiting for orders to invade,” she wrote on January 8, 2021.
As married-in Mexican, I'm pretty sure that Chinese soldiers wouldn't last a week in Mexico without getting rolled by the cartels, then dumped in a ditch or chased home lol.
I cannot unsee that naked body of his streaking from his studio during commercial break across the KGB hall and into the bathroom one day in the 90s lmao.
He often did radio in the nude. Man was he a truly unique character.
