Look, it’s all just legal maneuvering 🤦 rather than an actual physical issue. Just typical small-town bureaucracy.

Alright. I assumed there would be some specific language in the listing addressing these issues. Regarding the utility rooms—are you suggesting that section of the building was constructed with inferior insulation compared to the rest? That seems like an incredibly inefficient way to build.

Megan Harris said:No. Their smallest units are 540 square feet, their largest top out at 800.

Empty units, zero renovations, everything looks identical to the "standard" apartments on the other half of the building.
It’s all the same. On paper, half the building is zoned as residential apartments, while the other half is labeled as short-term rentals.

And what exactly are you basing those questions in your first post on? You're acting like people are buying limited fractional ownership or something. Where did this talk about different zones even come from?

Is that just some trendy new way to say studio apartment?🤔

I get it—around here, legal loopholes mean nobody ever takes the fall. But the law is clear: if you fail to assist someone in life-threatening danger, you're liable. There is absolutely no mention of refusing to help.

The goal should be proving that someone failed to call for help immediately—while there was still a theoretical window to act—especially given how common this negligence has become.

The vagueness of this provision is exactly what trips me up—how are we supposed to determine if a crime actually occurred without any further clarification?

There isn’t even a legal precedent defining an acceptable timeframe for when a witness to an accident might snap out of shock and finally call 911.

Cell tower data from providers like Verizon could easily pinpoint the exact moment the incident happened and reveal how long witnesses were busy coordinating their stories before actually dialing emergency services. I feel like I've already made this point. The whole spirit of the law should be about providing aid IN TIME, not after someone has already started freezing up.

I'm not talking about some abstract procedure that "might" put someone at risk; I'm talking about a simple 911 call.

Regardless of who the individual is, is there an actual legal timeframe for when you're supposed to call 911, or is it just left up to the discretion of the District Attorney or some other agency?

Under the Penal Code:

"Failure to Render Aid

Section 123.

(1) Anyone who fails to assist a person in life-threatening danger, provided they could have done so without significant risk to themselves or others,

shall be punished by up to one year in prison.

(2) Anyone who fails to assist a person in danger whom they themselves caused, provided they could have done so without significant risk to themselves or others,

shall be punished by up to three years in prison."

Say, someone with a history of heart issues passes out. After how much time has passed—once you factor in coordinating witnesses with the police (deciding what gets said and how)—does criminal liability kick in for failing to call 911? Is there such a thing as a "golden hour" where a life can still be saved, or is there some other legal window?

Do these investigations launch automatically, as a matter of official duty, whenever there's suspicion of this crime? Because an investigation alone, using cell tower data, could pinpoint exactly how much time elapsed between the incident and the arrival of the paramedics.

I happen to have their last names and home addresses, but I don't have any phone numbers—they all seem to be old-school types who still rely on landlines
I tried searching for them through online directories like WhitePages and AnyWho, but I haven't had much luck finding anything useful...
Does anyone know if there might be another way to track down their numbers?

you got a message

Casey Bennett said:you got your answer (whether it was you or whoever started this thread). the title alone plus those opening posts were just pure bait for every conspiracy theorist out there. honestly, this shouldn't have even been posted on the Earthquake PDF...

I provided the answer. The question was about specific signals recorded by the New York City seismograph; the "mystery" was simply a lack of understanding regarding the phenomenon—just like so many other things people mistake for mysteries.
This exact topic was already being discussed in the main earthquake thread, but it got buried under a mountain of posts. Information exchange is the whole point of a forum, isn't it? Changing a title falls squarely within the mods' jurisdiction too.

The thread I posted this morning just vanished. No idea why. It was about those weird readings on the New York City seismograph. Wasn't exactly groundbreaking stuff, but it offered a logical explanation without needing to pivot to ghosts or global conspiracies. Why the deletion, Casey Bennett?

But Generic Brand 100 only comes with 20 tablets per box, unlike Generic Brand Pro which packs 30.

Brandon Alvarez10 said:Thanks for the reply. Honestly, Tylenol isn't even that pricey. When I actually went down to the CVS Health to check, it was about $6.75 a month based on the pill count, but I’m still looking for a good alternative that hits the same mark for both price and quality.

The math for Generic Brand 100 in America doesn't add up; over in Mexico or Canada, medication is cheaper.

Brandon Alvarez10 said:What would be a better alternative to Tylenol 100 for blood thinning that wouldn't cost a ton more than Tylenol 100?

Pfizer and Procter & Gamble options at CVS Health are under $6.75 for a 30-count pack of 100 mg

It's the exact same active ingredient.

Brian Palmer6 said:Good evening! I’m not entirely sure if I’m in the right spot, so sorry if I should have started this thread somewhere else—I guess I might be a little lost.

He’s a really sweet guy, honestly, but he can be so stubborn whenever I suggest changing his diet or try to offer any health advice. A few years back, he was around 260 lbs, but he dropped down to about 175 lbs after some heavy drinking and doing manual labor. When we first met, he was at that 175 mark, but then he gained it all back and hit 220 lbs within just a year.

Right now, he’s living as a renter with some roommates. They have a kitchen that's pretty run-down, I suppose, but it’s functional enough to cook in—he just refuses to use it. I’m always telling him, "Hey, maybe just grab some pasta and some veggies and whip something up? You'd probably feel a lot better." But no, he just insists he can't or doesn't want to, so nothing ever happens.

Since he’s making a bit more money now, he doesn't really have an excuse to complain about being broke; he could easily cook something "healthy" at least twice a week. Instead, he keeps blaming that old gas stove they have, saying he has to clean everything constantly—even though it doesn't even get dirty since he hardly uses it 😵 anyway.

The thing is, his body is clearly trying to tell him to stop eating like this. He’s constantly grabbing burgers, frozen pizzas, or sandwiches loaded with extra mayo. It's not like he has nowhere to eat at work, either—it's not like he's avoiding sitting in the breakroom with his boss and coworker. I understood when he didn't have a place to sit before, but now, I think he's just making excuses. It's easier and cheaper for him to just grab some deli meat and mayo from the grocery store and wolf it down rather than making a soup once in a while.

Now, here is the real issue... his gas is unbearable. He’s always had some issues, but after being together for two and a half years, I’ve noticed—and even his buddies have pointed out—that he leaves behind a literal cloud of toxic fumes. 🙂 He thinks it’s funny, but for me, it really isn't. 😠 We actually got into a huge fight about it once, and he tried to argue that it wasn't his fault, but the beans he ate, claiming it happened way before too (though yesterday he only had pancakes and it still smelled awful). Blah, blah, blah...

I explicitly tell him he needs to change what he eats, and then he snaps at me, calling me heartless and saying I'm counting his every bite. I don't find that normal at all, and he just won't see it... I've told him multiple times that he doesn't need to start lifting weights or go vegan just to please me, but he needs to take care of himself. His digestive system is clearly struggling, but he just won't face it. My mom ruined her figure and her thyroid because of a constant pastry habit... I'm actually thinking about just paying for allergy testing for him, since he's having such a hard time just going to the doctor on his own.

What do you guys think? Is there any way to ease up this whole gas situation?

Look, let's skip the drama regarding your relationship and how much influence you have over someone else's cooking when you don't even live under the same roof. Before you call an exorcist, try a more practical approach.

Bad nutrition and booze can wreck a person's digestive enzymes, bile production—which handles fat breakdown—and their gut flora. Get him this:
https://www.iherb.com/pr/Now-Foods-Su...2?rcode=QLH398
(There's currently an 11% discount site-wide through Nov 12th)
Pair that with a decent probiotic from a local CVS or Walgreens; they carry them, and you can find them on iHerb too. If he could cut back on the beer, it would be smart for his liver.

Have him try it for a month and see if things shift. It won't hurt him, and it doesn't demand a total lifestyle overhaul from him (or you). It should significantly assist with fat digestion, which improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients. Once he starts feeling better, he might actually find the willpower to make real progress.

Exactly. Unlike that guy, you actually need some backbone.

Look, he didn't drop some life-altering bombshell on his girlfriend; he told his buddy. Why? I’ll bet my bottom dollar he’s thinking, "I won't tell her because I don't want to hurt her feelings." Or maybe he hinted at it indirectly and she just brushed it off—but eventually, the truth catches up.

Leaving the heavy lifting of delivering unpleasant truths to the guys in the group? Sorry, man, that doesn't fly. People would rather walk through fire than stay stuck in a trap like that.

Besides, there's a real chance your boyfriend dropped the hint right in front of you, just like he did with his friend, hoping someone else would step up and deal with it.

On one side of the scale, you’ve got someone’s entire life hanging in the balance. On the other, you’re looking at some awkward drama between you and your boyfriend. Is it a strong conscience or just pure cowardice? You already know what the right move is.

It might just be some internal bruising. If so, the pain should subside in three or four days.

X-rays to check for rib fractures, contrast angiography to scan the aorta. This isn't something you play around with.

So, basically, I’ve been fighting this uphill battle with my weight for years now, and honestly, it’s exhausting! I even tried getting somewhat active and hitting the gym, but the pounds just keep coming no matter what I do. I’m sitting right around the 220-pound mark at 21 years old, which definitely isn't where I want to be. I'm on the hunt for some solid weight loss supplement recommendations—but here's the catch, I'm really not looking for anything in pill or tablet form, if that makes sense? So, what do you guys think I should try? Any tips or favorites would be amazing!
