ULPT: How can I get an Airbnb shut down?

If they are paying a mortgage on the place and don’t live there a certain percentage of the time, it’s a different mortgage rate, a vastly more expansive one and not declaring this can get them in deep trouble with the bank. There might be a way with city records to find who the mortgage is with if they have one and grass then up.

How do Americans feel about their government deteriorating trust with Australia by considering not providing submarines that Australia has already paid over $1 billion towards?

The fat they are publicly stating that they are considering stealing military assets bought and paid for by an ally is plenty enough already.

Hahaha take it as you will. I meant it very literally, with no hidden meaning or innuendo. Where I live, even pepper spray is illegal. I've only ever seen a gun once, and that was  on an airport security guard.

Worked for an online betting shop. They would give free spins to users who hadn't been back in a while (trying to quit). But they would do so on like a Friday night, thinking that they might have had a few drinks and their willpower would be at an all time low.

For those of you abstaining from voting in the last election, do you ever regret it? and did the government nudge to not abstain?

Try holding the political parties who put their own neopitism before the fate of the nation accountable. They are fielding morally bankrupt candidates on a platform where their sales pitch is meant to be, "we're the good guys". Or sure you could hold the voters responsible instead.

Good for you. Your personal anecdote about heavy dope use hasn't affected your dental work. But it's also bad advice for others.  The use of cannabis, can interfere with the effectiveness of dental anesthesia. It can also raise blood pressures and can be dangerous when combined with local anesthetics containing epinephrine, as this can lead to acute hypertension and a heightened risk of heart attacks.

If you are reasonably technical, the Camera Motion Metadata (CAMM) specification on modern phones allows a timecode down to nanoseconds in the metadata. If you had three good phones recording at the same time in 3 separate locations within clear earshot of the sounds you could use 3 point triangulation calculate within a few metres of the source. It's really handy that there's usually a few shots at a time, this allows you to smooth out errors caused by atmospheric conditions etc and nail the source pretty dead on. Assuming a decent technical competence to extract the metadata, calculate the exact time from the video timecodes and reasonable maths skills (an llm can probably help you here with caution)  But you do need 3 devices actively recording video all at the same time the shits are fired.

I've worked with this guy. He can't code. He didn't write the code and he doesn't know how to make changes because he didn't write it. This guys 'code' is going to break the repo in strange and unusual ways that evade the tests, for years to come. They couldn't fire the guy but we did get him moved to another team (who not hate us), that team are also trying to get the guy moved again somewhere else.

You used to be able to buy eggs for super crabs resistant to std treatments from sites a decade back. Dunno if you can still get them, but a glitter bomb sprinkling those suckers into someone's house would be memorably itchy. https://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_crab_revenge_kit/

On top of the other suggestions, check other rooms, particularly bathroom, for hidden cameras. Look on the router at home address written on the side of it with amin password. Something like 192.268.0.1 Put that in and look to see how many WiFi devices are connected. Change the WiFi and admin passwords.

Try reading the bible. I absolutely guarantee she hasn't. Start with all the socialist stuff.  Whenever she goes to work reminder that Jesus said  "you cannot serve both God and money"   Matthew 6:24  Or Keep reminding her that she should be redistributing most of her cash and assets to the poor as in the book of Acts.  "And all that believed were together, and had all things in common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need"

The character Elizabeth Swann is played by Keira Knightly. Keira was only 17 years old upon the first films release. This means she would likely have been at most 16 years old when first cast as the love interest to the adult characters in a Disney movie. A film that makes jokes of having her dine naked with a pirate crew. 

As a biker, what do you think is the main reason behind the lowering number of bikers each year?

Posted by __the_mechanic__@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 277 comments

rainmouse@reddit

My partner worked for the police emergency numbers. Whenever they had an serious RTC (road traffic collision) involving a biker, they were immediately reaching for the coroner. Also recovery of dismembered body parts was a common part of the process. Sometimes the mess is so severe they cover the area with sand before attempting to use the industrial-grade cleaning agents and disinfectants. Given your life is partly in your hands, but also partly in the hands of the worst of the drivers on the road, for most people it just isn't worth it.

Any ideas what this indicates?
