Facebook says sorry for changing your contact email -- (link) - oblique Jun 27, 11:55 5
- This is about equal to a, "We are sorry, your call can not be comleted as dialed..." recording. - Spawn Jun 27, 12:01 3
  - It's an interesting way of doing things. Release. Check for backlash. If too much, retract. If just some, go with it. - oblique Jun 27, 12:05 2
    - A saying that I loathe is, "It is easier to ask for an apology than it is to ask for permission." -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:07

why is it called a "pre-order"? How is that any different from an "order"? -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:52 8
- Becuase you've reserved the item, but until the item is released, you are not fully obligated to the terms specified in the pre-order -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 12:01
- and how do you pre-heat an oven?!?! -- nm - G.Carlin Jun 27, 11:58
- Probably for the same reason that all other orders you place before the release date are called "pre-orders". -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 11:54 4
  - also, this is a new thing. before the last 5 or 10 years, it was just called ordering. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 12:01 2
    - Becuase 10yrs ago, you didn't have webpages that allowed you to buy something that hadn't be created yet. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 12:01 1
      - no, you had to walk or drive to a store (or send something by mail) and order that book before it was released. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 12:03
  - I don't always order things before they are released but when I do, I prefer dos orders. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:59
- How many orders do you make with an estimated ship date of "sometime next year"? -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 11:53

The running count of Democrats voting for Contempt is up to 4. - Strongbad Jun 27, 11:50 10
- so what did this dude do anyway? -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:53 1
  - I think it's for refusing to release Fast and Furious documents. - Dr.Vermin is jejune and vituperative. Jun 27, 12:08
- I never regarded Politico as "left-leaning"... -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 11:52 7
  - According to wiki, it was founded by two WaPo journalists (one of them wrote a Clinton biography). The current CEO was Reagan's chief of staff after - Roger More Jun 27, 12:07 2
    - so, further left than the Daily Caller, which isn't saying much at all... -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 12:11
    - Well, to be fair, in today's climate, being in Reagan's inner-circle makes you left-leaning. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 12:10
  - I'm not a southerner! -- nm - Jon Snow, north of the wall Jun 27, 11:59
  - That was a C&P from another site, not my personal opinion. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 11:55 2
    - When you post it like that, it looks like your opinion. Which website? -- nm - Roger More Jun 27, 12:06 1
      - My mistake, I would've clipped that out had I seen it. - Strongbad Jun 27, 12:10
Spain vs. Portugal who do you have as winners? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 27, 11:49
so if loosi goes on vacation and comes back and decline's rented it to me, I have some rights? no. no I do not. - amanda Jun 27, 11:45 54
- Krusty, I am a little confused, did your friend get scammed and the - amoxy Jun 27, 12:01 6
  - Yup. I met the fake landlord. He had the keys to the apartments in the house. - Krusty Jun 27, 12:05 3
    - how does he have the keys? -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 12:05 2
      - Good question. I don't know. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 12:06 1
        
        Sadly, people move out of places and leave the keys inside a lot. - Spawn Jun 27, 12:08
  - That is one of the newer "it" scams these days. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:02 1
    - Do you see it alot? -- nm - amoxy Jun 27, 12:04
- where did she go? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 27, 11:52
- Judging by the stories of people living in foreclosed homes, etc. long after they should, I'd totally be like "call the police" - oblique Jun 27, 11:47 2
  - yup. like I said this could be a scam by the landlord to get extra rent and then just oull a switcheroo on who owns it and hope the leasee doesn't - Beaker Jun 27, 11:48 1
    - I think I've heard about this being done and that is why the laws tend to favour the "tenant" -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:51
- we need to get a new vacuum cleaner. what kind did you get? -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 11:47 2
  - I got this refurb last week for $192. -- (link) - amanda Jun 27, 11:49 1
    - nice. - znufrii Jun 27, 11:50
- you want to vacuum my apartment? awesome. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:46
- different though as the apartment was empty in question -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:46 37
  - yep. at that point the landlord would probably have to prove that they did not rent it out and get an eviction order. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:48
  - doesn't matter. He's a squatter who has no rights to the property - decline Jun 27, 11:48 35
    - JACK. (my crush on jack? no longer.) -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:51 1
      - [deleted]
    - I wish we had squatter laws like they have in England. if you live somewhere for seven years without the owner saying something, you now own the land. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:50
    - but how does the renter know this dude is the real owner without involving the authorities? Maybe I really own and not these other folk -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:50 31
      - true. I assumed Krusty's friend verified this already. -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:50
      - no matter who owns it, I am pretty sure he can't be evicted on 24 hours notice. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:50 29
        
        if i come home, to my house, and someone is living there, illegally (whether they know it or not), i'm hoping i can have them removed asap. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:52 28
        
        (now, truth be told, if i didn't need the place and it was a parent with kids who clearly had been scammed, i probably would give them a week ) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:53 4
        
        I believe the law in NY is 30 days. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:54 3
        
        JACK. does this law hold here? I would assume no. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:02 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        it sounds like not. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 12:02
        
        of course, but if they have a receipt or cancelled cheque for rent then you're going to a hotel. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:53
        
        of course. but evicting people isn't that easy. I used to help my dad with some cases like that when he was a lawyer. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:53 21
        
        but i'm not 'evicting them', they are trespassing. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:53 20
        
        they are living there and you want them out, so yeah you are evicting them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:54 17
        
        so, i come home tonight and some guy is sitting on my couch. the police aren't going to show up and toss him out? -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:55 16
        
        That's a little different. You are actively living there. Sounds like the "owner" doesn't live at this place. So things are little more complicated. - sycor Jun 27, 11:57 10
        
        oh, i feel terrible for Krusty's friend, it's horrible, but i don't think he has any rights to stay. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:07
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        but the tenant is not claiming ownership and even in the case of the painting the person in possession might be able to argue for a timeline to return - zork Jun 27, 12:06 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        yeah an object would be a totally different kettle of fish, that would role into you lso being a thief of it if not returned -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 12:10 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        ahh, makes sense -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 12:12
        
        and how did he get a key? did the fake owner sublet it illegally? the lease rights may have passed on. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:58 2
        
        I don't lock my door. this could totally happen at my house. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:00 1
        
        *moves in* -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 12:06
        
        I think the big distinction here is that we're speaking of an empty apartment, not "your house" -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 11:56 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        "it's a furnished apartment." -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:04
        
        he has a key to the place and all his stuff is there? They might not believe he is trespassing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:56 1
        
        Yeah, I'm inclined to believe you're right. -- nm - mara Jun 27, 11:58
        
        (ie - they were never a tenant) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:54 1
        
        there are lots of people in NYC who rent without leases. if you want to evict them you have to go through the process. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:55
- *sigh* I need to clean my apt. -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:46
ST Poll -- How dull is your life? - znufrii Jun 27, 11:45 23
- I haven't the foggiest... I'm never bored, though. -- nm - con_carne Jun 27, 12:10
- I could use just a touch more dullness. Once our closing date is finalized, all will be well again. -- nm - Dr.Vermin is jejune and vituperative. Jun 27, 12:00
- I wish it was dull - dull would be nice for a while :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 27, 11:58
- I have a fantastic life. I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's. -- nm - spamlet Jun 27, 11:57
- My life is extraordinarily busy...and yet pretty dull. How does that work? nm - Jim Jun 27, 11:56
- Yeah -- nm - amoxy Jun 27, 11:56
- [deleted] 7
  - Jack - you need to weigh in on the 'evicting a tenant who was never a tenant' conversation! -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:55 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - start here - then amanda's thread above -- (link) - Andie Jun 27, 11:57 [Backboard] 4
        
        important to note that you've been fired *and* I no longer have a crush on you. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:59 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        me? obviously i need to backboard! -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:00 1
        
        oh no. you're fine. Jack is fired and noncrushed. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:03
- just when I'm stupid enough to think " pretty damn dull" - my life proves me wrong - Epiphany ( Lawbreaker) Jun 27, 11:53
- I was on the Indianapolis 11:00 news last night, so I gotta go with 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. - Spawn Jun 27, 11:50
- slightly dull. I have my bland moments :) -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:49
- Define: dull - oblique Jun 27, 11:49
- I would be fine with about 6 straight months of dullness. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 27, 11:48
- not at all dull. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:48
- ask me after the EURO -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 27, 11:48
- not dull enough. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:47
- I have the best, fullest, most exciting life of anyone I know, bar none. I have the best life ever. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:46
I just responded in A&A. -- nm - spamlet Jun 27, 11:45 6
- Dear Dawson, thanks for all the reminder emails, but I have very poor Internet at this client - Truman Jun 27, 11:47 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - The games sends an email when it's your turn. It's automatic and not sent by the player. - Krusty Jun 27, 11:57 2
      - Still I blame Dawson -- nm - Truman Jun 27, 12:21
      - [deleted]
- that to Jack. -- nm - spamlet Jun 27, 11:45
Yeah, remember those "Google Glasses" that Google is working on for the future? -- (link) - oblique Jun 27, 11:44 5
- i'm not gonna wear any google glasses i look too much at google as it is allready -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 27, 11:50
- but when would these "pre-orders" be filled? and ... - zork Jun 27, 11:46 1
  - "sometime next year" - oblique Jun 27, 11:48
- porn, all day, at work -- nm - Max Jun 27, 11:44 1
  - the updated Homer on Jury Duty Simpsons just wrote itself... -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:47
Kaylee > Inara > River > Zoe -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 11:44 10
- Inara>River>Kaylee>Zoe -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 11:50
- Inara > Kaylee > River > Zoe -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:45 5
  - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 27, 12:46
  - how did you get that 100% backward? -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:49 2
    - Zoe is a strong #4. On any other show, she'd be near the top. - Strongbad Jun 27, 11:51
    - you know what the > / < symbols mean right? :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:50
  - This -- nm - Truman Jun 27, 11:48
