Landlord From Hell Bans Pork, Long Showers, Overnight Guests {AOL Real Estate}
Jan 12th 2013 5:16AM It seems a little excessive but the initial impression is that these are rules for apartments in an apartment complex. Obviously there is shared water, shared restrooms, shared gas, shared air-space. The pork issue is a little weird but the rest is not unexpected when you have a dozen people living under the same roof who are not related.
Monserrate Shirley, Indianapolis Homeowner Whose House Exploded, Bereft Over Tragedy {AOL Real Estate}
Nov 15th 2012 12:44AM She is the homeowner so it was her fault. There had to be something in the house that wasn't right that she or her family should have noticed. Tanker trucks generally carry around 3,800 liters of natural gas. A video of one exploding on a chinese highway about one-quarter of a mile ahead of the camera was sizable but not enough to do serious damage to cars parked at that distance so a much greater volume of gas would've been necessary to cause the Indianapolis explosion. One of the houses had to have had a serious leak nearly filling the home with gas to do that much damage.
Airline Mini-Liquor Bottle Theft Ring Busted At JFK Airport {Gadling}
Sep 13th 2012 11:45AM If people liked alcohol as much as I do, the theives would've had to pay to give the stuff away.
Crane Topples Onto Newark, N.J., Home While Removing Tree From Yard {AOL Real Estate}
Aug 18th 2012 12:28PM Oooops. So how do you lift a crane that size off the house and put it back on it's wheels? Bigger crane? This one looks pretty big.
Oregon Couple Faces Tsunami-Size Fine for Pool {AOL Real Estate}
Aug 14th 2012 12:18AM Pretty amazing no matter where you go in the world except maybe the north or south pole, there's always a government populated by filth that do everything in their power to soak their own residents for every dime they can squeeze so it can go into the pockets of local political fatcats.
Squatters in Littleton, Colo., Couple's Home Refuse to Vacate Despite Judge's Ruling {AOL Real Estate}
Aug 5th 2012 4:40PM I would file a lawsuit against the squatters demanding departure from the house and refund of all associated legal costs and costs of having to live elsewhere instead of in the home they legally own.
Two Men Detained At US Border For Carrying Chocolate Eggs {Gadling}
Jul 25th 2012 12:10AM Yet another joke on travelers and society in general for simple generosity for their kids taken away by shadow ops. xenophobes at border crossings to make sure there's no uranium or plutonium inside and all the billions of us in our 70's make it to our early 80's. I'm glad I won't be around in 50 years to see how much more of George Orwell's book has come to pass. I feel sorry for you 20-somethings.
Why Speed Limits Are Irrelevant {Gadling}
Jul 19th 2012 6:53PM Dude is right. People are the best judge of what a speed limit should be based on environment. No one obeys speed limits anyway, they're always 5-10 mph over it and even with speed limits, the ones mainly in accidents are the ones that drive the same way with limits they would drive without them. So let's do away with the following: speed limits, traffic cameras, electronic speed monitors and bicyclists.
Video: A Crash Landing From The Pilot's Point Of View {Gadling}
Jul 13th 2012 1:58PM That was a crash landing? There is this new thing out called an "airstrip." In the video, I think that was a "plane." I'm pretty sure planes use airstrips.
Liquids Surrendered At Airport Security: Is There An Afterlife? {Gadling}
Jul 12th 2012 10:07AM I agree with anyone that says the TSA is useless. I doubt all the confiscated stuff ends up back where they say it does. Probably goes to auction of some kind so the TSA can pad their wallets a little more. And if terrorists want to bomb something in the U.S. they only have to walk across the U.S./Mexico border, come in covertly from Canada or sneak in to one of the numerous ports around the periphery. Is the TSA doing any good? Ha ha, what do you think?
