2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

The new research into the vascular health of endurance athletes, funded by the British Heart Foundation and Cardiac Risk in the Young, is not yet peer-reviewed, and the discrepancy between men and women has not been explained.

I think we all learned properly from the COVID thread that British scientists are just a bunch of morons.

I’m just having a laugh, don’t @ me

This is literally Calvinball, isn’t it?

Not really. In Calvinball, the rules are made up as you go along.

I guess it’s similar in wording to the rules that Calvinball can’t be played with the same rules twice

Looks like a made-up game for a scene in the new Star Trek movie.

This is perfect Florida. Due to scams and climate change, homeowners insurance is borderline unobtainable.

I assume it should be in the lol law thread, but shouldn’t those lawyers be punished?

This thread has 20 posts, so the answer is yes.

It’s gonna be fun when Macron’s center left party forms a government with the center right, who are called the Republicans no less, rather than the left.

There was a law in Florida that if part of the roof is damaged, the whole thing gets replaced. If your roof gets hit with x pieces of hail in a certain square, it is “damaged”. The roofers go up and just mark shit up in an area where hail was recorded (everywhere). What are the lawyers being punished for? They are just suing insurance companies over disallowed claims.

I’m convinced that like 70% of Florida voters just wish they were as good at scamming as Rick Scott, and respect his game.

There was a parking lot in Tampa that was free, but if you parked like 1mm on one of the lines between spots, which were super-faded, they would tow your car. It was a scam. The parking lot owners also owed the tow company.

I talked to a few locals about it and they were totally blasé about it. Like - oh yeah be careful in those lots. I was like - why are you not outraged by this? It’s like the whole state is just used to being constantly scammed.

Yeah they have these red light cameras where you randomly are not allowed to turn right for “safety”, except that the only warning is a small sign hanging from the traffic light. Anyone unfamiliar with the area or street is getting caught cause you can turn right on red 99% of the time.

What part of the country has “No Turn on Red” signs on 1% of lights?

Are you saying that 1% is low or high? You can turn right on red pretty much everywhere in Florida where they don’t have a traffic camera waiting to give you a ticket. You can see the no turn on red signs hanging on the light in this photo.

Florida gets all the bad apples from
other states who wanted a cheaper cost of living and less rules and love parking lots.

You don’t have to read the article but I did think it was funny that this guy is complaining about fatherlessness for Father’s Day when he clearly states in the article he had a father, he just had a shitty one, which I feel is a different problem from not knowing your father

He bought the home for $6.7M in 2015 and picked up the adjacent parcel for $6.7M in late 2019. I think he tore the house on that one down so he could put in a basketball court (without a permit and had to go through the couch cushions to pay the fines). He’s got almost 2 acres of prime lakefront and put in a new dock (fully permitted), but I don’t see anyone paying $85M for a place that’s adjacent to a lakefront park. I rented a room in the basement of a home a few blocks south of this place in 1985-86. It was cheap and my bedroom was less than 50 feet from the lake. The Redfin link calls this Hunt’s Point, which is way off. HP is located north of the 520 bridge.

So you know the actual address? Where is it really?

905 SHORELAND DR SE, BELLEVUE, WA 98004

Thanks

Looked through that listing on redfin and it appears to be different from the one fredd listed.

Also yours is only 28 million.
