Yeah, same thing happened to us. Landlord said he had at least 5 years. After 2 he starts grumbling that our rent is too low but he can't increase it to the level he wants to (BC rent control). We say, oh that's too bad.

After 3 years he decides he's done being a landlord and wants to sell the apartment and tells us he's going to kick us out and sell the place. We fight. BC has a policy that the landlord must actually live in the unit for at least 6 months in order to evict a current tenant and he's shown us he doesn't intend to do so.

There is more fighting, he finally consults a lawyer (he didn't seem to be aware of the law). He finally understands what he must do to evict us and we started losing ground. End of story we negotiated him for extra money, getting evicted on the same date and decided it was better than walking away empty handed.

I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

This is a feature of SATA devices too. Use UUIDs in your fstab unless you enjoy playing musical chairs with your mount points

Yes, otherwise they would probably be called a lawyer

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

I don't actually know the answer, but I couldn't resist digging at least just a little bit. My gut tells me that it's probably related to rad fem in some way, like with gold star lesbians etc and that somehow trans people are involved.

The only thing I could really find was the term "bi lesbian" which is just a way to invalidate the identity of multiple groups of people at once.

I think maybe some people might be uncomfortable identifying as a label of lesbian, and there are other ways to express this, like wlw. Also for some, lesbian still carries a stigma or implies a connection to porn. Maybe that just means we should work on reclaiming it though, instead of shunning the label

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

A bit late to your comment but they simply don't want you to talk to a human. It's that easy. Talking to a human results in empathy, which results in giving away of deals the management doesn't really want you to give out.

They'd rather you get frustrated at being able to not reach a human and then you just give up and be a good sheep and pay what you're expected to.

Oh, unless you want to cancel, in which case it will take no less than 10 different humans bouncing you off various departments and scripts because making it easy to cancel also results in bad metrics

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real -- hopefully it comes this week.
