Furthermore, with an address in hand, looking up the zip is trivial. But not every scammer is all that bright, so if I were the OP I'd be watching all my poo poo very closely for a while at least.

As a society we're understandly not too keen on the "I was only following orders" defense, but is there any legal leeway for poo poo like "if I didn't obey the order, me or those close to me would be harmed"? As I understand the American military (aka not at loving all), soldiers are allowed/required to not follow an order that is illegal/immoral/whatever, but what about totalitarian governments? Like, in a Nuremberg 2.0 situation, can you be found guilty of war crimes even if you attest that your government would murder your family unless you performed it?

That depends entirely on who is running the trials in question and the exact nature of the crimes and how/why they were committed, as well as the rank and relative authority of the person who committed the crime. I mean I don't think anyone would believe Eichmann or Goebbels became Nazi's and committed war crimes out of fear for their family's lives, but some 15 year old kid who was drafted into the SS in 1945 would be a different story. obviously there's a lot in between so it would depend a lot on the specifics of the case.

Oh god.. How do I learn how to use Microsoft Power point really really quickly? I've never touched it before and need to make a bunch of slides with animation, "click the button and here's the next line of text" and optimistically sound. I've written out everything I need to put on the slides, so if I can learn well enough over the next couple of days I can just "write it up". Can anyone recommend a tutorial or something?

There are safety regulations and engineering guidelines, but I don't think there is any specific law on any book that states "No more than 50 passengers on a train car". If it's an emergency, and the conductor or engineer or whoever is in charge was attempting to save as many lives as possible and something went wrong as a direct result of adding more than the recommended number of total passengers, then they would be accountable, though I don't know the exact charge. Maybe Reckless Endangerment? So I think it's less laws against the action of packing a car full of people and more laws against the negative outcome of that action

Gobbeldygook posted:The google term you're looking for is "otter encounter". There are private companies and zoos where you pay some premium fee to have some one-on-one time with an animal. Prices and experiences vary. For example, the Georgia aquarium charges $70 for some otter time while the north Georgia zoo will let you hang out with an otter for $55 or swim with one for $150. If money is no object there's a company in California that lets you swim with a whole family of otters for several hundred dollars. How hosed up/heinous are the otter encounters? I don’t see any reason to believe it’s not just like exotic baby animal photo shoots or swimming with captive dolphins in Mexico.

In general you should feel okay about animal encounters if it's a service offered by a legit zoo. You're just petting animals that they have anyway. For example, the Oregon zoo will let you hang out with Josie the sloth for $75. If it's a private company, it might be okay as long as you're interacting with adult animals. Baby tiger etc photo shoots are extremely sketchy because they do not remain babies for long, so you know it doesn't have a pleasant future ahead of it.

Q8ee posted:Dumb question, but whatever: found nudes posted online on a porn website. Initially, didn't think anything of them, but at the end of the album, the person who submitted the images also put their government ID stuff (driving license) with their name and address. I thought this was royally hosed up. I figured I would contact the person in question, as they have a large online presence (a YouTuber). I've gotten in contact with them, and they've agreed to talk. I can't help but feel like absolute garbage because I've had something similar happen to a very close friend of mine and it near enough destroyed her life, she ended up having to move cities and she's not been the same since. You need a hobby or something to keep you from worrying about any of the insane stuff you post here worrying about.

You won't get in trouble unless someone has reasonable suspicion that you're the one who posted the pictures. The person in question can follow this process to get the site links taken down. They will have to talk to the site owner of whatever site hosts them to get them actually removed. If that doesn't work, it's possible they can talk to whoever hosts the website (requiring some kind of lookup like https://www.whoishostingthis.com/) to get the whole site taken down. Realistically, if they're moderately popular and the photos are out there in the wild, there's no getting rid of them in any sort of permanent fashion. Whoever posted them still has them and is likely to post them again. Read this for one person's personal experiences: https://medium.com/@cherp/half-a-million-people-have-seen-me-naked-e70e8b89269c

I had a roommate do that with some zest, it did not smell zestfully clean. It smelled more like hot soap that you spill on the stove. Or like when you don't rinse the bottom of a pot and then stick it on the stove. Plus every manufacturer of those warmers says not to do it for a reason.

Using those keywords it turns out there’s a $35 otter petting sesh at the Vancouver aquarium. It’s a 20 hour drive for me but I think I’ve gotta do it. I also feel like it’s not the purpose of otters to be pet by me... but I’ve been obsessed with otters for several months now. After that I think I’ll try to befriend a raccoon so that I can watch it wash its hands earnestly because that is so totally my poo poo as well.

If raccoons figure out your house is a good place to get food, they will come every night and happily take food right from your hands. Whether this is a problem depends on your neighbors.

It depends on the animal; I think otters are pretty social, playful things and like being pet so it's not a big deal. Captive dolphins in Mexico is a different beast because dolphins need a lot more water space than the tanks tend to have. It's why there was controversy about Seaworld keeping their spare Orcas in Mexico; they did it because it was cheaper. The reason for that is because the American regulations on tank size were bigger; or I think the difference was "existed at all." Orcas are huge and need a lot of space so keeping them is pretty expensive. The American tank size is still inadequate but gently caress the whale, there's profit to be made off its misery.

I think you need to understand that your view on this is very, very narrow and specific to your area/observations. These are far from the only two choices. Vinyl siding, brick face, aluminum, steel, stucco, efis, actual river (or other) stone walls or facing, actual brick walls........ Either way, the bit I linked is the correct one for your specific situation. Motronic fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Mar 30, 2018 |

Alright follow up, what I'm running through the wall is a camera plug. For whatever reason the plug's USB has an extremely thick cover on it, requiring a large hole. Meanwhile the cable itself is your normal sized cable, how would I go about sealing that hole back up after getting the plug through it? Would some caulk suffice?

It's stucco. Make the hole as small as possible. The right way to do it is stucco patch, available at big box home stores. The way most people would do it is caulk or spray foam.

I read some more on stucco, would a wood drill work through that? Googling shows that it would be for the best to get a masonry bit to go through stucco. I'd like to drill a small hole but unfortunately...  The geniuses at Nest decided having a plug this big for something that is meant to go outside was a great idea.
