I'd love to know the logic on this.

"What's the point of letting people have guns if they're too stoned to want to shoot anyone?"

Growing weed is a federal felony and they don't like it when felons have guns, even if the felony is dumb as gently caress.

My strong recommendation for weed under trump: don't loving grow it, don't loving sell it. Legal advice you can take to the bank. DEA wants to go after the medical poo poo and they only knocked that poo poo off when obama told them. Trump and Sessions won't, even if they won't explictly order them to go after medical.

If you are doing medical under trump, use a dispensery as that will shift the risk. Yeah, it costs more, but defense attorneys are expensive and prison really hurts lifetime earnings. If you must grow, do not under any cercimstance give weed to anyone. Even if they have a card. I don't mean sell, I mean don't even give. Don't even pass the joint. Seriously.

All it takes is one pissed off neighbor to make your life suck. Seriously, the laws are still on the books and there are a huge number of DEA agents who would love to make a name busting a "major drug dealer" (with 4 plants).

Unfortuantly Australia has a big Avocado farming industry. Any variety you want, we have them. They should plow the whole loving lot of it back into the soil and grow something worthwhile. Like spiders.

My local butcher does the meat for most of the better resturants in town and does thier own dry ageing.
You all just need a higher class of butcher I guess.

The periods of time I haven't lived here have been quite painful due to not having that. Even more than beef, pork really depends on sourcing. Commercial pork is absolute poo poo with no marbling at all. A good "heritage" pig just produces a much better chop.

If you butcher doesn't buy halves of cows and break them down, you need to find a real butcher.

Prime rib is a good thing to go to a resturant for because how many times a year can you justify making that at home?

So ~~I'm~~ was onboarding with yet another delivery service. May as well keep a few in my pocket, right?

So they sent me the contract and asked that I "sign and return immediately". So I read it....

I have to pay for my own background check. Oh... kay. I've had to do that a couple of times with these companies, not a fan, but whatever, one of them panned out decently. I even had a staffing company try to make me pay for my own drug test once though, NOPE.
I have to submit to a drug test, and it can only be done at a facility of their choosing, AND I have to pay for it.
Their car requirements are "model year 2000 or newer, with at least 4 seats, and working air conditioning". I'm good on that front, my car left the factory with a total of 4 seats (this would be parcel delivery anyway though, and my passenger seat is currently out of the car because of the loving dispatchers at Amazon).
Under that, "vehicle must have and maintain under 100,000 miles for the duration of our relationship". Wait, what? I have a friend with a 2009 with over 315k. My 2006 has almost 170k. Good loving luck there.
"This contract is valid for one week of our relationship" - there are no provisions for extension. Hahahhaha no.
"<company> does not provide any form of insurance, including liability or contents, including for client contents" AHAHAHAHA gently caress NO I'VE NEVER SEEN A DELIVERY COMPANY NOT PROVIDE AT LEAST INSURANCE ON WHAT I'M TRANSPORTING NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
"Drivers must drive vehicles with no visible damage of any kind, interior or exterior" hahahahahhaaha oh god I drive a GM, any GM more than a couple of years old is shedding paint, and my carpet on the drivers side has holes worn from there my heels rest (while on the gas and while my left foot is looking for something to do)
"Drivers must submit current interior and exterior photos of their vehicles". Exterior photos I get. Interior? If I was expected to pick up people, I would expect that. But for packages? Who the gently caress cares what the inside of the car looks like so long as there's no roaches running around?
"Drivers must wear all black" wow that sounds like a uniform to me, which is a bit against the whole "independent contractor" bit. I can understand "dress professionally", but "dress in all black" is blurring the whole employee vs contractor bit.
"If items are damaged in transit, contractor must repay the cost of the item via payroll deduction, cash, or PayPal" wait paypal or cash wtf
Also they apparently only pay via paypal

You want to do a lot of investigation into a condo before you buy it. A low fee can either be a sign of a good quality building with good management or a bunch of cheapasses differing maintenance. Nothing like getting a five figure assessment because they haven't touched the pipes ever and now the whole building has rotting from inside.

Old buildings full of old people are the worst for this. Fixed incomes plus not really worrying about 10 years from now isn't good.

The bad thing about Sac vs Reno is CA taxes vs NV taxes. And probably traffic. And worse weather (depending on your preference for hotter summers meaning warming winters, which personally I'll take the cooler summers and the colder winters).

But Sac is also a real city whereas Reno is Reno.

My sis lives in the Bay Area and I love the place but dislike paying 800,000 dollars for a share croppers shack and not being able to own a nice car because people are just going to run into it constantly and drive off.

I've decided that hot as gently caress summers>snow. gently caress snow. I had 8 years of that and I'll take my snow from a distance, particularly when it doesn't actually get cold enough to drive on lakes.

I looked at a 2016 Landcruiser and was amazed that it wasn't roomier. Like the back seats with that big rear end LCD screen right in your face makes it seem like flying coach. They're not really significantly roomier than a 4Runner from what I can tell. I know they're tanks and will last forever but I expected them to be a little bigger on their inside based on how they look from the outside.

I can understand that viewpoint but it's not for me. I'd trade 4500' Reno climate for 5500' SW Colorado climate any day of the week. Part of that may be due to living in Alaska for 6 years though.

e: I only looked briefly but when someone said that housing in Sac wasn't bad I figured they were full of poo poo and looked and at least based on my brief inspection they actually seem slightly cheaper in Sac. Like I saw a couple houses where I thought "poo poo if I saw that at that price in Reno I'd buy it in a heartbeat." It's also possible those houses were in a neighborhood where someone gets murdered every 90 minutes though or something. Not sure about property taxes. In Reno a ~$420,000 house that's 2800 square feet on a 9000 square foot lot pays ~2500/yr in property tax.

See, Minnesota was enough winter for me. At least there i could drive on lakes.

Anything under $400,000 is either either tiny, in a place you will get stabbed, or miles out -- admittedly in Sacramento "miles out" isn't actually that far.
CA property taxes are hard to calculate, because the tax rate is based on the price you paid, not the current market value. The increase in value is a fixed at 2% per year, which is basically nothing. Oh and the assessed value passes through inheritance, so you can have multi-million dollar vacation homes paying taxes on an assessed value of $200,000 or less. (There's also many other fun loopholes to avoid re-assessment when sold). Basically, you'd pay the same for that $420,000 today, but 20 years from now, you'd be paying way less. P13 is one of the reasons that there has been so little turnover in come high demand property markets. If you are a middle income person in SF who bought a $300,000 house in 1990 that is now worth $2 million can either: hold it, pay taxes on $400,000 or something; or sell it, buy a smaller house in a worse location for $1,000,000, pay way more taxes. I guess they could also rent it out for $5000 per month while paying $2000/yr in tax.

I beleive that this is in some ways legal in Aust with the proper warnings in place and built to regulations. Electric fences are also legal in a suburban situation as long as they built to local regulations.

As an aside, a good way to make sure a fence isnt live is use a straw of paspalum or whatever other stalk grass you might have and use that to touch the fence first. It'll tickle but a good deal less than the back of the hand method. Which is of course a HELL of a lot better than just grasping a live fence.

I would also be terrified of the liability. Any blow out related accident could easily result in some liability.

Preface: I am a dad to a girl almost five years old so I have directly and indirectly exposed to a lot of Disney princesses/movies etc. On Sunday we watched the new(ish) live action Cinderella which was a first for me as my wife did a mommy/daughter date when that one came out. It was really good and I think paid good respect to the original and the story. There was some great back story added that gave greater depth to the step mother (the "villain") as well as making the prince not seem like such a bore but a Cool Guy[upper]TM[/upper]. The actress that played Cinderella really sold the character and you could tell they genuinely were pretty stoked to be playing the part. Helena Bonham Carter was a treasure as well and in the ~5 minutes she was on the screen were laugh out loud hilarious.

Last night we took the kids to the new Beauty and the Beast movie and I was...whelmed. Not overwhelmed, or underwhelmed. Maybe it was because it relied so heavily on CGI? There was a lot about the movie that didn't impress me. As far as Disney princesses go Belle has been the best by far (although Moana is seriously kickass and possibly tied second to Rapunzel). Gaston is one of the best Disney villains of all time and the character just fell flat. There were a couple of shining moments where you were like YES! This is the douche we have grown to hatelove but there was not nearly enough of that. The dubbing for the parts of Emma Watson singing seemed slightly off and it was super distracting. There was a little back story on Beast, Belle's dad Maurice, and some other characters that helped the story a little. I just feel like this wasn't Emma Watson's best performance. Probably the brightest light of the movie was Kevin Kline playing Maurice. As a last note I cannot enough at people freaking out over LeFou and the "gay moment". The only thing LeFou was guilty of was being French and this is the observation of a Mormon dude living in Utah.

I know I am not the only dad in here who has given way more thought on the intricacies of Disney Princess worldbuilding. Am I off base? Is Belle actually not The Best?

The movie is about kiddnapping and the hero is the kiddnapper due to stockholm syndrom. The "bad guy" tries to bring someone who preys on women to justice. I'd be more worried about that.
