The closing is just where the documents are signed. Depending on the state, someone may very well need to deliver the physical documents to the clerk's office where they will then process it. This could take hours to weeks before the information is accessible online and is going to be state and county specific.

In my city, the tax assessor’s website is the easiest place to check, but it can take weeks for the site to update with a sale.

I can look up property tax records online for pretty much any piece of real estate, and they include all transactions, including dates & prices. Everybody in Texas knows what everyone else’s house cost. edit: aaaand beaten like a red-headed step-child.

God dammit it's a year later and I'm still real bitter about my ex leaving me. My new problem is... I'm still going to change my name, but decided to go with Özymandias as my middle name, but now I'm worried I'm both appropriating Egyptian culture and making fun of it by adding a decorative umlaut.  But that's not why I came here today. Question: Do patriotic folks in other countries have the same reverence for the founders of their countries as conservatives in the US? I don't really see many examples of it. It seems like everyone in the world might know that George Washington was the first president of the United States but I don't think I could name a single first-leader from any other country. Like there are people who will get in a fight with you if you have anything bad to say about Our Founding Fathers. credburn fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Jan 10, 2023 |

I have literally no idea who you would even call the 'founding fathers' of Australia. Most people who know who the first PM was only know because of an ad talking about how no one knew who he was. The founding father worship is insanely alien.

^^^ Gough Whitlam is the only politician who mattered and he was hosed over by the crown Well, speaking as a Brit we don't really have founders. By the time the country of England, let alone Great Britain, came into being it was a hodgepodge of different people responsible. If anything the country as a whole worships the reigning monarch (although King Chucky 3 is definitely in the shadow of his late mother), but even that is pretty hollow. You're more likely to encounter an American outside Buckingham Palace who actually likes the monarchy, whereas most Brits are just there for the sightseeing. Do not take the national pants-pissing over Liz's death as indicative of the average Brit's interest.

There is some of this in Canada with Sir John A MacDonald but it's very subdued in comparison to the US. The cult of personality you folks have for the constitution and founding characters is probably unique outside of totalitarian countries.

It seems like everyone in the world might know that George Washington was the first president of the United States but I don't think I could name a single first-leader from any other country. Mao and Lenin Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. Napoleon, Charles de Gaulle in France. Willem van Oranje in the Netherlands. Garibaldi in Italy, although that went a bit different. Ataturk Bolivar in Latin America That's just off the top of my head in a few minutes, based on places I'm familiar with I think of those examples, the reverence is less in the European countries, with less of a cult of personality (no public mausoleum for the embalmed body of Charles de Gaulle, I'm afraid) and in general, more room for critical views. These happen to all be revolutionary leaders (De Gaulle is an edge case, but the war is enough upheaval to include it). I think polities that are born in revolution have an easier narrative. That's something you can teach in schools, where young kids need to be told 'X is the guy who created our country out of chaos and foreign oppression' instead of the nuance of centuries of developments. So it'll be revolutionary leaders who are revered like this, whereas England has ??? Alfred of Wessex? Fictional King Arthur? The early middle ages are too dark and unclear a period, and even Alfred didn't unite the entire country yet. Cromwell could have been in this list had his Commonwealth prevailed and England remained a republic, but as it didn't, he's just a side track in a civil war, and ultimately a bad guy who kept the good royal family away from the throne for a while (in people's imaginations and the simplified mainstream narrative) These guys are also all more recent than George Washington, although Bolivar and Napoleon are close, of course. I'd say Ataturk is held in higher regard in Turkey than George Washington is in the US. I didn't see portraits of Washington in literally every museum (including non-art, non-history), train station, shopping mall and most coffee shops the last time I was in the US. In a few decades, everyone who lived in Ataturk's Turkey will be dead, so it'll be interesting to see if the characteristics people project onto Ataturk will change

Atatürk I feel is someone whose legacy is being wiped out as we speak, given Erdogan's explicit repudiation of the secular republic that was intended. That said, this is the small questions thread not the D&D thread for pointless geopolitical waxing lyrical so I will shut up and agree to disagree with anyone who points out I'm stupid and wrong.

Twenty years ago there was a TV series to determine "The Greatest Canadian", based on polls and stuff. Our founding father John A MacDonald came in 8th, beaten by Don Cherry, whose main accomplishments are wearing ridiculous suits, giving incomprehensible hockey commentary, and generally being lovely. So that's some indication of the opinion Canadians have of our founders.

Have you tried omeprazole? Prilosec. I started getting it (acid reflux) from I guess drinking too much coffee, but everything causes it and once it started for me, it seemed like there was no solution. But omeprazole is cheap, otc, and basically immediately solves the problem

In other words, it's preferable to fix the issue by adjusting your diet and lifestyle instead, if possible. I don't recall what the consequences were of long-term use. It's clearly something that plenty of people use on a regular basis, so it can't be that terrible. I just wouldn't leap to it as a first line of defense unless you're really having major issues.

Long term use of high dosage proton pump inhibitors can cause your stomach to flat out stop producing acid, whch isn't great, but other than that they're pretty safe. There's also some indicators that they promote Alzheimer's disease, but again, that's after like decades of regular use, you shouldn't be scared to try them because of that

I think the US is somewhat unique in terms of the founding. Most countries have a long history where countries were under lots of reigns for millenia. The US had a clear beginning and the founders have reached a mythical status. I live in Finland and we were tossed between Russian and Swedish empires for ages and only got our independence in 1917. There are really not that much revered heroes. I think one person our chuds love is Mannerheim, who was a military leader in our civil war and WWII, but I don't think even they are that upset if you poo poo on him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Emil_Mannerheim

There's also Famotidine/Pepcid which doesn't have the long-term dependency effects of prilosec. Might be worth starting with that.

I'd imagine that a lot of these things have to do with getting nutrients out of your food with stomach acid. Absorbing B12 is another issue. But yeah, these aren't issues if you take them for two weeks.

Back over the holidays, I was at a party and one of the other attendees mentioned a employment history monitoring website and I, for the life of me, cannot recall what the website is. As far as I know, it's basically like an Equifax, but for payroll history and potential employers can pay to pull up reports on past salaries at the like. Anyone got any ideas on what site I'm describing?
