  1. The association’s rights are specified in the CC&Rs, which are a contract. You should not be able to buy property subject to an association without being given the CC&Rs and signing something agreeing to them.

  2.  @mage1439  — People have a Constitutional right to assemble, which includes forming associations for any legal purpose.

  3. The reorganization of the Post Office to become the USPS was supposed to make it independent of politics. Somehow that didn’t work. I think deJoy should be prosecuted and the entire board should be removed. Just packing the board isn’t enough. It has to be easier to get rid of a rogue Postmaster General.

  4. That’s a good law except it doesn’t work when there is a shared building containing apartments. There must be an association to maintain the building.

  5.  @angrydragonslayer — I’m sure you are mistaken. Some associations might be corrupt enough to try to infringe voting rights, though.

  6. There’s a term for that. Once I was reviewing lighting fixtures in a catalog with a contractor and I noticed the term “contractor friendly.” I told him we didn’t want those.

  7.  @RiverRat-2112 -- I would say the original award shows the contempt people have for due process.

  8.  @LetsTakeWalk — He should get a lifetime loss of his pilot’s license.

  9. The heavy duty trucks are taller because they have a suspension designed to carry more weight.

  10. The rule has nothing to do with where the car is made.

  11. It isn’t about the money, it’s about harassment.

  12. Just keep your truck on its wheels and you should be fine.

  13. Companies can be put out of business if they are criminal operations. In a civil case, if a company is put into bankruptcy by a jury verdict which is based not on the actual damages, but by the feeling that the company is evil and should be put out of business, or by the notion that since the company has huge financial assets they should pay a huge amount in penalties far beyond actual damages, there are two things wrong. First, it is a violation of due process; second, it is an infringement of the right to an impartial jury. I am a supporter of tort reform.

  14. Chevrolet is part of GM.

  15. It isn’t the union employees I have a problem with. It’s deJoy.

  16. Yes, that is the joke.

  17. As far as the meaning of "lite" goes, food products today have a nutrition label which gives, among other things, Calories and added sugars. That is the official representation.

  18. It is not easy to increase production. Maybe they are operating at near capacity. Maybe some suppliers have limited capacity.

  19. Not really. They mark “max” rolls like that. They are a larger diameter, so have more length than a normal “double” roll. There should be twice as many squares, but I’m not going to count them. Aren’t there more important things to worry about?

  20. Not likely. The authorities were on to him fairly quickly.

  21. The 10-speed is the joint venture.

  22. It is similar to “serving” on a food package. It’s a stupid thing to sue over, in my opinion. I have a small washer, so it might be accurate for me. Some washers sold these days are twice the size of mine, or more.

  23. “serve,” not “sell.”

  24. As Chief Executive he has the power to direct federal agencies. If the FTC writes regulations which you think go beyond their legal powers, you can challenge them in court.

  25. If there is no HOA, why would there be anything in the sale contract about HOAs, other than a statement that there is none.

  26. There is a process for writing regulations. You can’t just suspend the process.

  27. This story has been around for awhile. The “psychic” is a nutcase.

  28. I’ve eaten them. I can do without them, but I give the Chinese credit for not wasting anything edible.

  29. The bailiff might, without a judicial order on the court record.

  30. It's easy to find, but hard to spell. It's in Alabama.

  31. Regulation has to start with state legislatures. My state strengthened the right of access to documentation several years ago, but more needs to be done. The most useful change that could be made would be to license the companies that provide financial services to owners’ associations, and make them directly responsible for infringing the rights of individual owners. Too often, these companies are complicit in helping the boards infringe the rights of owners, but you can’t sue them. You have to sue the association, while they indemnify the management companies.

  32. Real trucks have removable beds, so they can adapted to many uses.

  33. Yours, in my opinion.

  34. That’s different. Everybody knows that nominal sizes are not actual sizes. I learned that at an early age.

  35. No, that would be harassment. They should act like civilized adults.

  36. What he has in his pocket should not be taken as inability to pay.

  37. You would still be free to choose another store. Nothing will change in that regard.

  38. I had a Ford with a bad automatic transmission. I had it overhauled and it shortly started acting up again. Fortunately, it soon blew a head gasket, so I wasn’t tempted to try to have it repaired again. Any carmaker has their lemons.

  39. Don’t overlook the risk of starting a fire, and the risk of injuring someone on the ground.

  40. No, it is just about who owns the property.

  41. The felony would be identity theft. Listen carefully.

  42. If they do, I expect the companies will relocate to Nevada and Arizona.

  43. Security, generally, is an afterthought these days. We are all under constant attack by scammers.

  44. If you pay cash, you own the car, don’t you?

  45. Most self-check stations read the price codes.

  46. I don’t like self-checkout and rarely use it. I would rather have more checkers, but I will wait rather than do a checker’s job. A mandated discount is a good idea.

  47. I just noticed you have the long version OED. I’m impressed.

  48. How about recording devices in your own home. A burglar breaks in while the homeowner is away. Must the burglar give consent to be recorded?

  49. I was in a jury pool for one of these cases. I don't mind doing jury duty, but I did not want to be on that jury. I didn't like the plaintiff's attorney and I gave him some trouble during voir dire. I was the first juror dismissed, to my relief.

  50. "Teflon"? Be serious.
