Wait, did the police build that wall or did protesters? Both answers are funny in their own way.

It is purposely lovely to cause drama and to act as a reason for police violence when it falls. We're under attack!!!

Pretty smart move when you think about it, all the police have to do now is declare themselves to be outside and presto! all protests in the city are contained.

Googling county name state name property appraiser will generally get you to the right website. The only way to hide property ownership in the united states generally is to have some sort of corporate entity hold the property instead. Most apartment complexes and other such large developments do this so ownership can change without deeding the land and recording the value of the sale.

Property records have been public going back probably more than a thousand years if we're tracing through british common law. Obviously in America they only go back ~500 years at most, but they're available for public review. For older stuff you may literally have to read through property book recordings that are old as gently caress, but the records are there back to whenever the land was originally deeded when it was stolen from the natives. Some systems have full electronic records and you can see back to the first colonization of your area for each plot of land.

The UK they don't update on inheritance though, only sale, so lots of land is very poorly tracked. This is mostly stuff owned by the descendants of the people who were organising stealing all the land from everywhere on Earth though, random houses are probably findable.

Oh hey a doxxing discussion. This has actually been a hot topic of conversation with the mods for the last few weeks. I think this was already posted in QCS but if not oh well guess you guys get the inside scoop:quote:SA User Doxxing: With something like Grovers address I’d lean on it being doxxing if the poo poo was posted on the forums or listed in a way that others could be expected to find it. The thing about doxxing is that it’s pretty much ALL grey area once you get past the really obvious poo poo like posting your forums enemy’s address. It’s also one of those things where we’re going to have to read intent. Here’s a bit I wrote during our discussions on it. Cyrano4747 posted:I broadly agree with all that but I’ll just say that I was in favor of something less than a perma <actual forums incident> (I think he got a ban/30?) because of the issue of intent. That’s always going to be the squishiest metric for us but I think it’s important. Someone who dumps a person’s home address or says something malicious like “we need to gently caress this rear end in a top hat up” is displaying very ill intent and foresight about what they’re doing. Someone who posts info that could lead to doxxing but appears to have another agenda (eg “ this guy look like trouble watch out for him at the protest”) doesn’t display that malicious forethought. Now if I was mod of the forums where the Grover poo poo came up I’d probably PM the person and say they were getting close to a line they don’t want to cross and maybe edit out the bit about him still living there. That’s the dot that can be connected by third parties for ugly poo poo, especially given how much he over shared and that his address was out there (and probably still is). Basically we all can laugh at the dude but he’s gone and he doesn’t need Internet weirdos loving with his life over a really, epicly bad thread and series of construction decisions from, what, a decade(?) ago.

I've had to use property records in the past to find the folks who used to own my house before it got foreclosed. It's been six years and I STILL get their goddamn mail. Including poo poo like tax documents, credit card denials with their credit scores, and even the 'roni stimulus check. I met them in person once because I got a legal summons addressed to them and didn't want them to get a bench warrant issued because they're morons about paperwork. After a year I stopped giving a poo poo.

DelphiAegis posted:(...) The wall is for protecting the glass and limiting visibility while providing the ability to use the area as an entrance, exit, staging area, barricaded shelter, and bottleneck if needed. The foam insulation is there in case there's a draft.

You ever see a Warner Bros cartoon where one of the characters nails planks of wood across a door? They are never cut to the right length, levelled, sanded or painted/varnished.

kimihia posted:You may have missed my very first sentence where I stated that it is wired into the alarm system. This requires one to both turn off the mains power to the building alarm and disassemble the secret control box hidden behind the spiders in the attic, whilst the alarm blares. Those spiders serve much the same purpose as a standard "Warning" label in preventing you from unthinkingly putting your hand in the box in the attic. There's a relevant IEC standard that I'm too lazy to look up right now.

Now doxxing someone by posting all this info elsewhere is uncool and probably shouldn't be allowed, but I don't think "I looked it up and yes, Grover still owns Groverhaus" qualifies.

Lol I've looked up lots of people through tax assessor records, it's fun and free! It's interesting to see what some of the current regime's grifters are spending their money on. They do make it more obscure (you have to submit in person or pay to see it) for wealthy counties in CA though.

The point isn’t that it’s hard to do this poo poo, it’s that we don’t want SA to be the kind of place that figures out how much in property tax some idiot e-celeb pays. Basically we don’t need to be KF. Once upon a time? Yeah. SA did some poo poo. But it’s not 2002 any more. Basically look at the poop, laugh at the poop, but don’t touch the poop.

Moo the cow posted:poo poo like this unsettles me because it highlights how you can be happily cruising along, sun in your hair, tunes on the stereo and 'bam!' game over. One time, I was checking my mirror and shoulder to change lanes and almost rammed into someone who was completely stopped in my lane. I only noticed because my passenger saw him and yelped. Edit: I should add, they were alone and had no reason to be stopped. Iirc they were making an illegal left turn.

She definitely mildly has it, she's willing to argue until the heat death of the universe, and she has a temper but it only comes out for poo poo that doesn't matter like board/video games lol. I can't even think of once case of her being vindictive, but with how much she argues with people (especially authority figures) I'm almost certain she has a mild form of it. Although our dad was into classic cars/motocycles and took us to the car show every single weekend, and often brought us to his construction sites so maybe we've sucked in our fair share of anger-poison.
