Also the shelves in that shower look abysmal, I wouldn't trust the tile in there to keep water out. Walls are crawling with mold for sure.

Tile (well, grout) doesn't keep water out. It's not designed to do that. If you don't lay tile on a completely waterproof surface the walls will be full of mold.

That being said, with the level of "quality" in that home I'm sure they tiled right over regular drywall in there. Which is good enough for a 5-10 year bathroom, which is long enough for the builder to "go out out of business".

I don't know much about how tile is made, but could those just be three consecutive slices from a bigger block or something? Like if you cut off 3 slices of salami, they'd have similar patterns.

A really big tell is that the grains aren't all in the same direction on a single tile. Granite is somewhat chaotic until it goes metamorphic and grains can align and become gneiss, but will be in the same direction.

"Woman, 48, lives � and dates � as her 22-year-old daughter at university posted:

For two years, Laura Oglesby paraded herself as a university student, with a job at the city library and boyfriends who believed she was 22

Laura Oglesby fooled 'everyone', police said, including boyfriends who believed she was half her age.

A 48-year-old Missouri woman has pleaded guilty to living two years as her estranged daughter, who is in her 20s, and embezzling more than $255,000 in social security fraud.

Laura Oglesby will spend five years in prison without parole and, as part of her plea agreement, will pay $17,251 to the university as well as restitution to her daughter Lauren Ashleigh Hays for identity theft.

In 2016, Oglesby obtained a social security card in the name of her daughter, who was 22 at the time, and got a Missouri driving licence, the U.S. Attorney�s Office for the Western District of Missouri said in a statement.

The next year, she used the card to enroll at Southwest Baptist University in Missouri, applying for and received financial aid to attend.

She received $9,400 in federal student loans, $5,920 in Pell Grants, $337 for books she got from the university bookstore, and $1,863 in finance charges, the Daily Mail reported.

During her years as a university student, she paraded herself as a young woman in her twenties, with a job at the city library and boyfriends who believed she was 22-years-old.

Laura Oglesby embezzled over $25,000 using her daughter�s social security card. �Everyone believed it,� Chief Jamie Perkins of the Mountain View Police Department told The New York Times . �She even had boyfriends that believed that she was that age: 22 years old.�

It was, ironically, thanks to her employment at the library that police were able to track her down. Mountain View Police in August 2018 had been contacted by Arkansas authorities, who said they were searching for a �Ms Oglesby� who had stolen Hay�s identity in 2017 to commit financial fraud and embezzle over $25,000.

Authorities told police that they believed Oglesby was living in Mountain View. Police investigating the issue, tracked her address down after finding out she worked at the city library, Perkins told the New York Times.

�She actually was employed here, which was kind of odd,� Perkins said. �And that�s how we figured out who she was.�

They pulled her over during a traffic stop, wherein she attempted to deny that she was Laura Oglesby. But once they showed her proof of her real identity, she admitted it.

She told police that she had been running �for years� from a domestic violence relationship, Perkins said. �We don�t know her life story outside of what she told us, but we know what happened here.�

She was arrested on bench warrants from Arkansas, with allegations of federal crimes in Arkansas and Missouri.

�She had lived that life for a couple of years and basically just ruined her daughter�s credit,� Perkins said.

In a statement to the New York Times, Southwest Baptist University said that it had �cooperated fully with the investigation.�

�We were saddened to learn about the situation,� the university said. �Our prayers are with all involved.�

No, if you look you can find other duplicates in that picture as well (like, the zebra tile at the bottom center of the photo is there again four times that I can see, the one inside my little red shape is rotated kittycorner on the outside of the red shape, etc). It's just manufactured tile but you'd think they would at least try to do a better job hiding it by not, you know, putting the tiles right next to each other in the same orientation.

Apologies if I missed this in the thread already.

Apparently GME stock holders are now excited because the business is going to turn around on... NFTs?
https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/rcl6if/a_billion_dollars_was_direct_registered_back_at/

quote:

No major drop from GME. GameStop is totally free to work in the shadows. With complete trust from their shareholders. With every media and news channel and mainstream social media content, ALL pushing away from GameStop. A billion dollar flag was just planted in the ground.

Imagine once NFT marketplace starts dropping. Once people start understanding. Imagine what could happen once GameStop releases it's plans to the wider public. A BILLION through sheer force of will, and likely even more DRSed since. With more on the way.

I can't imagine having my money anywhere else. Not a bank (Rip Evergrande), not any crypto (Rip Evergrande), not any stock (Rip Leverage.) I can't imagine the insanity once NFT marketplace launches and we all have more ways to interact with the greatest company in the world and it's products. The rest of the world WILL see what we see. It's just all so Bullish. I really like the stock.

I gave up trying to make sense out of meme stocks pretty much right away but this seems like the deep end of the crazy pool.

Listen all I�m saying is that thanksgiving is about getting together with your family and eating some food, no pressure. Christmas is stressing out about rampant consumerism and going in to crippling debt.

Reading the r/relationships thread seems to prove the "no pressure" part wrong. And there seems to be a big emphasis in the US on not being alone on thanksgiving.

Don't underestimate the naivete of undergrads and the power of decent skin. I went back in my 30s and most of my classmates thought I was 8 to 10 years younger than I was. You can really goose it if you dress right and properly act the part.

If the mere presence of a woman on twitter saying "give me crypto" is enough for the dude to ship out 20k in such a rush that they don't even double check who he's talking with, then this is probably not the first time he got duped.

The Tiktok meme stock advisors (lol that this is a thing) are urging everyone to get back into AMC and that AMC will be at $100k per share by the end of 2022 once more people start going to the movies and all the memers jump back on board.

It is currently at $22, so it has a bit of a way to go until $100k.

People have faith, though.

Just speculation but this is another reason why they could be hitting us down on low volume. I am waiting for that technical gap fill then loading up. I think on the back end of Christmas we rally and fly back up then some catalyst will come in early 2022 but if not prepared to hodl another year.

I think AMC 100k is a bit of a marketing gimmick, but the general belief is right. Will AMC be at 100k by end of year 2022? Probably not. But, I don't think 10k or even 20k is unrealistic.

Exactly. When do people have the least cash to spare? Christmas. When do people typically have the most poo poo to deal with? Christmas.
