If they match up with the fees that the water utility charges, there's your answer. The late fee from the city is $5.

Because you don't own the property, I doubt there's a legal recourse for their bullshit of 'handling this for you' while charging you out the rear end for the assistance. Unless there's some local ordinance, it's likely that they can charge whatever they want to act as an intermediary between you and the city's water supply, and you don't really have a way to say 'no thanks'.

Generally these corporations know the laws of the places they operate in before they make the purchase. You can check the rules for where you live and you might find something that says you can opt out of their scam but I wouldn't get my hopes up for even that much.

I've lived in at least one city where it was in fact unlawful to charge extra fees for utilities like this. If this is the case for you, a certified letter aka Landlord's Bane might be in order, but for a huge corporate landlord they might just ignore it... would be worth a try  all of this is of course based on the hypothetical situation that your city forbids this practice, which is unlikely

While the companies do typically know the laws sometimes, especially if it's a nationwide or non-regional REIT, they might have a SOP they use without checking that ends up being illegal in your area, so it's worth taking a look at. You might be able to call 311 or email your city's water department directly to ask if this is legal.

Is taking two pills of a 1mg dose exactly the same as one pill of a 2mg dose, or are they broken down slightly faster or slower since they're in separate pills?

It depends. There's some pretty sophisticated engineering that goes into delivery mechanisms for medicine so you need to know how it is for the specific pill you're looking at. For the same reason, cutting a pill in half can drastically affect the rate at which the active compounds are absorbed.

You can call your pharmacy and the pharmacist has a system they can use to look it up and tell you.

You know when you're listening to a song that has acoustic guitar and you can hear their fingers sliding along the strings? Like a slinky metallic sound. Is there a word for that?

wash bucket posted:Do folks have opinions on that? I hear it so much I assumed people did it on purpose to provide... texture. It's a very ordinary and often necessary effect of playing a stringed instrument, especially one with coiled strings. Experienced players understand it as such, but (particularly adult) beginners are often bothered by it because they think it's a sign of something wrong. As for listening, ymmv, but in my opinion guitar music without it can sound very unnatural and fake, like it's a MIDI or something. Stuff like that are just part of the instrumentation to me, like hearing a singer take a breath between long sections.

I ordered a sterling silver pendant necklace and it arrived with a gouge on the front of the piece. It's tiny but it catches the light and is literally the first thing I noticed when I opened the box. Could a jeweler fix it up and, if so, would it cost very much?

regulargonzalez posted:If it's incidental and not overwhelming I like it ala Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Wish you were here (in the first solo), it's weirdly deliberate, there's no transition that requires it, at least the way I play it. It works though. My living room guitar has flats specifically to avoid string noise though.

When you get arrested in the States, where you're held at first until you post bail (if you're allowed to, and can) and where you go if you are actually convicted of a crime are generally not the same place, right? How often do people who can get bailed out get held in facilities with/alongside convicted in a court of law inmates?

As I understand it, when you're pre-trial or serving a very short sentence, you go to jail. If you're convicted and serving a longer sentence, you go to prison. A convicted person might be held in a jail temporarily if they're like, being transferred or something, but I don't think someone awaiting trial would end up in a prison at all. I'm not an expert, I just have a friend who works for the courts local to me, so I may not be totally right

How often do people who can get bailed out get held in facilities with/alongside convicted in a court of law inmates? Based on personal experience, and having bailed out friends, this is how it's worked for me in Texas. Get arrested (by city cop) end up at city jail, at the city police station. I was released in the morning (after being arraigned by a judge via video chat, and this was pre-covid). We were in a general holding area all together during the day. Then we were put in cells of 4 with 4 beds for the night. Back to general holding in the morning. No one I was with had been convicted . My buddy got arrested, same city, and eventually was transferred to county jail (which was literally like a mile away) and held for a few days even after we had gotten bail together. He was with people that had been convicted, and were either awaiting trial at the nearby court house, or were in a similar situation as him. I think typically they would be in different wings or areas, but all the jails are overflowing for stupid poo poo, so who knows I guess you could end up with anyone.

Not really but there's a lot going on that region so it might not be trapezius. Look at rotator cuff exercises to see if something does what you want.

Same for me when I got arrested and ended up in city jail, also in Texas, except there wasn't a central area we just sat in our cells and asked a cop for the library cart and ate bologna sandwiches. I was only in city jail for a day, and it was due to unpaid speeding tickets and an absolute prick of an arresting officer.

Will US politicians ever respond to mail from someone who isn't their constituent? I once saw someone write mail to every world leader to see if they'd get a response, so something smaller I'd like to try is sending something to each US governor. Nothing political, just a hello from New Jersey and some generic question or two.

Depends on how bored their staff is, the representatives themselves don't generally read anything that doesn't come from someone with money or connections but their staff might respond.

i am a stupid rear end in a top hat who waits until the last day to do his taxes. normally this is not an issue as they're pretty simple, but it seems last year i didn't save my state form. this means i don't know what my AGI was, and i need that to verify my identity. i have my federal return and w-2. is there a way to figure out what my kansas AGI was for last year?

Either the AGI itself or the stuff you used to find your AGI last year - w2, whatever. You could also try to call the state's tax office, but I don't know how well that would work.
