I put in an offer on a house that had been on the market for months at 97% of their asking price. I was pretty familiar with the market, and the offer was probably more than the house was worth, but I had seen 80ish homes by that point, and this was by far the best fit. It was still very much a buyer's market at this time, and people would crow about getting offers so close to their asking price. Well, my realtor came back and told me the guy said my offer made his wife cry and they refused to negotiate further. Well ok, I moved on. About six weeks later they came back and asked if my offer was still good. I guess they finally got another offer and it was much lower. We did close the sale, but I found out later that his selling agent said he was one of those nightmare clients that just had totally unrealistic expectations about the whole process. Facebook marketplace is basically this without the agents to facilitate the process, so its pretty messy at times.
It's in the picture. Doesn't look like one of the newer stupid large ones, but the fronts of all pick up trucks are pretty tall compared to most cars (and to humans) anyway. They still aren't releasing much about this, and they still haven't identified the victim yet.
Maybe take it down about 20 percent there, friend. You commented that Ottawa drivers speed up to 90 between speed cameras. I replied, a bit tongue in cheek, that Ottawa drivers don't drive 90, not even on the 417, where they're supposed to. Ottawa is the only city I have driven in where significant numbers of people drive at or below the speed limit, even when traffic would permit them to go faster, and that was the case even before the speed cameras. That generally forces everyone else to be honest enough, but I concur, Ottawans definitely hammer the brakes down even harder right before a speed camera. Or while merging on the 417.
No, and they really don't need them. Ottawans merge somewhere between 60 and 80, and drive more slowly in general. In most Ontario cities, driving at 100 in the left lane will get you run over. In Ottawa, you will be passing everyone.
We still have Toys R Us and Party City here, and they seem to be doing fine. Blockbuster isn't really needed anymore. Old school Radio Shack would be pretty cool though.
Aware, and I fully agree. I am just adding to the point that not only does it fail to address the safety issue, but the massive uptick in tickets generated by this solution will inevitably spill over into an already overwhelmed court system, which will cost us economically and socially.
Then you tick the court date box and mail it back to them. Then two or three years later, you get a court date, so you dust off your form letter charter 11b challenge, send it off to all relevant parties, head down to the Winchester and wait for all of this to blow over.
UHF went up against Batman in the summer of 1989. It made only 6 million at the box office and cost 5 million to make. But that film became a cult classic because it was an absolute banger that everyone slept on.
Pretty sure they just poured silver nitrate over glass. You can still buy kits to do that to re-silver old mirrors for the original look. From what I can find, the layered ones were older, and they used tin and mercury which made breaking a mirror a rather unlucky event.
People here laughed at those and traded them around like cards. Banning tobacco in all public places though, that got very noticeable and immediate results. The public health campaign "helped" about as much as a 3 year old making cookies with mom.
Ok, didn't realise I was responding to a mouth breather. Go back to reddit, clown.
