dis astranagant posted:That varies a lot by jurisdiction. In my state you have to have 2 years residence, 90 days non compliance and there's an annual limit that isn't a month's rent for anything but the shadiest country hovel. Wow. What state is this? It's like a slumlord's dream come true. In my state, for minor things a landlord has 30 days to fix it, and then a tenant can pay for the repair themselves and deduct the cost from next month's rent, though it is only up to half a month's rent. But for major things, like a burst water pipe, (and I'd like to think water leaking through an electrical fixture,) you can just completely withhold the next month's rent after giving them a "reasonable" amount of time to fix it and notifying them in writing. No deatails on what a "reasonable" amount of time is: quote:If major violations of the health or safety codes exist in an apartment, (a few Certainly no cost limit for major issues, and none of those "have to have lived there for two years" BS.

Now it's major code violations only, 6 months residence, a written inspection report if the landlord disputes the claim, 14 days notice and the greater of half a month's rent or $300 to fix it yourself here in the great state of Misery. If you withhold rent for anything less (including not fixing it yourself) you can be evicted. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 18:51 on May 3, 2016 |

Hyperlynx posted:Those look like antitank mines, though. They're designed to only be set off by the weight of vehicles. Antitank mines require 2-300 lbs of direct pressure, compared with antipersonnel mines which only require 15-30 pounds.

IIRC the main Finnish anti-tank mine of the cold war had a design flaw where if you didn't put the dirt-cover back on over the fuse, it'd go off at the same pressure as a anti-personnel mine.

Modern anti-tank mines are triggered by magnetic and seismic effects so smaller vehicles wont even set them off.

BRB, building a combat hovercraft. Which would set off at least some of these mine models, but would look while doing it. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 08:31 on May 4, 2016 |

" FY 2010,04/24/10,04/19/10,"Midas Auto Center, Westmont, IL 60559",Worker was welding on a 55-gallon drum of what might have been methanol and a explosion/fire occurred.

African armies feeling pretty smug. chitoryu12 posted:How much would you predict an average soldier weighs in their gear? A good 300 pounds? When stepping on something while marching or walking with full kit you might be able to set off an AT mine given that it's not just the weight but that initial force and momentum that's hitting the trigger, rather than slowly and cautiously adding weight to it to approach the trigger weight.
