  • are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues

    There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services

    Goods or services ≠ debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.

    A retail store, a restaurant etc. can refuse currency from a customer but a loan/lien holder, a public utility company, a government entity or an HOA must all accept any legal tender.

    You’re confusing two separate situations.









  • 2.71Tb/515 series for TV, 6.28Tb/1176 titles in Movies.

    Almost everything in MKV because that’s what I prefer.

    I use Plex so it’s organized according to their requirements.

    Everything is stored with a redundant backup on a Synology NAS with 6/9 HDD bays filled, totaling 48Tb in total storage space.

    I run two servers (one on the Synology, one on a NUC-type Asus box) along with all my other systems.

    Oh, and I have dual antenna tuners connected as well for live TV, DVR and playback.




  • Here’s a thought, maybe instead of blindly following the original commenters idea and repeatedly posting the same thing, refine the idea to account for people the “fringe” case mentioned?

    Maybe, in addition to the multiple house ownership and residence status conditions add one that factors in income/earnings (including any capital gains) and if you exceed a threshold then additional home taxes apply?

    Maybe scale the additional taxes based on income/earnings so everyone is taxed but done so appropriately for their situation?

    Or maybe adopt a system like some other countries have where the first house you own isn’t taxed but additional homes are, then adjust other taxes in accordance? Under this system 5 families sharing a hunting cabin is not only easier for them but more economic and efficient than five families owning five separate cabins.

    You’ll never please everybody but laws and regulations should take into account all those they effect and serve the greatest number reasonably possible.


  • Wow! You’re wrong again!

    No person may turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a highway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided

    Even in your nonsense “direct course” argument “no person may turn a vehicle from a direct course” until such movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal.

    That literally means you have to signal when turning from a direct course. The last part, “in the manner hereinafter provided” is inclusive. It means every one of those clauses applies.

    You are a great example of why people should be retested regularly.






  • I know the answer now, it’s an arbitrary idea you pulled from nowhere.

    I thought a short response was what you wanted but it seems you just don’t want to overtly state your premise is arbitrary.

    I do have another question. Is your ego so fragile that you have to accuse others of the things you do when questioned?

    You accused me of a strawman and then engaged in it yourself. You accused me of being aggressive for asking questions to understand what reasoning you used to arrive at your premise but then engaged in personal attacks. You repeatedly engaged in deflection. You might want to work on your mental maturity.

    I’d fully support your idea if it was practical and data supported at all but it’s clearly not. Pointing that out seems to upset you.

    The joke is on me for assuming you actually had sound reasoning based on information that would be new to me rather than just your feelings.
