Re: damage to rental property by guests

Check to see if your tenants have renter's insurance. Renter's insurance should cover actions by their guests. Ours does

No smartphone and no internet is digital self-segregation, not exclusion. You screwed this pooch all by yourself.

Re: Laptop downloads no longer possible on Netflix

Simple solution: download the content on your smartphone and then cast to your computer using Bluetooth or a wired solution.

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

A package I sent in April, which contained a one-of-a-kind watermelon tourmaline, rubellite, and mica specimen, was declared missing by DHL in May. I was compensated for it in June. Since it was an eBay sale, I had to give the money back to the buyer (right away, of course, because I am not a jerk),...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump

Who didn't see this coming? Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-seeks-set-aside-york-002820639.html With the new Supreme Court...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump

IMO Biden’s very poor performance will keep many folks away from the voting booth who would otherwise vote. They aren’t disengaged, just exhausted. And as much as they hate Tr**p they can not stomach Biden at this point. I am extremely disappointed in Biden for not having handed the reins over to a...

Re: The Conviction of Donald J. Trump

Well, Joe Biden is old, but he's a workhorse and a legislative powerhouse who still gets things done. Anyway, it's not like the UK puts up its best. Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Nigel Farage? Phew. The problem is a surge in global gullibility. Stupid people vote for scary characters who make them ...

Re: Finally accepting an offered seat on the tram

On our vacation in Italy last year, a young man offered his seat to my wife, which she politely declined. The two of us and our friend made him feel like a hero in front of his girlfriend, going on and on about how such a young man is a treasure and how good his mother must be (Italy, after all). It...

Re: Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger und terroristischer Organisationen

I get your point, Jay, but in the context of the wider conversation in the media at the time, I merely wonder how a judge will view a foreigner engaging on social media in German then claiming they hadn't grasped the precariousness of such a statement. I'm not saying it points to a consciousness of ...

Re: Verwenden von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger und terroristischer Organisationen

Well, and back to our fellow poster Bogies's problem, can anyone really claim not to understand that this was an illegal statement in the face of the conversation that was had about it online and on the news if one is savvy enough to post about it on Twitter in German?

You keep using that phrase "expressing my view". It almost sounds like you're offended that there are limits to speech here. Is that actually the case? Are you against the black letter law against certain types of speech?

Yes, that part was baffling to me as well. They must really be monitoring the internet quite well. I'd rather say that he was reported by some other reader.
