Nubula strikes me as a Ditko gal, to be honest. I see the two of them getting on well.

About half an hour from the end of the series finale, BSG 2.0 was dead to me forever. I’ve never felt any urge to revisit the series.

Wait- but the joke of Scrooge McDuck has always been that he’s a cheap, mean bastard that eventually, and very much against his better judgment, does the right thing. Are you saying they removed the best parts of the character?

A few years back showed my kid old Loony Tunes for the first time.

As far as I can tell, under CA code 415.30, service by mail requires the recipient party acknowledge reciept. And failure to respond doesn’t count as service, it just makes the defendant liable for the additional costs required to properly serve them.

Came here to say this. Almost Human had the potential to be so fucking amazing - the world building, the concept, the casting - but it sank under an ocean of bad writing.

People of all demographics are going to believe what suits them, they always have, and no one can change that but themselves. Here is the deal though, I am a woman, I am not better than or less than anyone else, and that is how I live my life and manage my career. I am busy out here earning a living, improving my…

I recommend the book “Delusions of Gender” for quite a lot of stuff about how men have tried to use “science” to justify sexism.

Of course, the first programmer was a woman, and computing was originally considered women’s work. That changed as “data processing” raised in status and became “computer science” and…

The debt would still be there, but if they want to collect on it they still need to properly notify you. They can’t sue you just by sending letters to the bad address.

Yeah, glancing at the documents, the city of San Francisco is probably liable (not a lawyer) in this case for failure to notify and could be forced to claim eminent domain to recover the land if the Chengs aren’t willing to resale.

What this story fails to mention is that the homeowners DID pay their taxes- their HOA was sending the checks to a bad address.

The pilot episode of Almost Human was so promising - when the criminal sets off the DNA bomb to hide his tracks, clearly the writers were thinking intelligently about how people shed cells everywhere and future forensic tech could detect who had been in a room, and how criminals would respond to that. But then the…

These people are going to make a bunch of money off it. If there’s any liability, the city would clearly be at fault. This was a smart buy.

All of this, but especially number 1. This street was desegregated 70 years ago - everyone who owned homes on the street then is in the ground already. There’s no “karmic justice” for segregation in fucking with people who live there now.

In my home state (Washington), if you’re going to auction off somebody’s property, you need to personally serve them with a notice of auction (not just sending a letter to the mailing address), and you need to conspicuously post the notice at the physical property, well ahead of the auction date. Otherwise the sale is…

That was kinda my take on this too. I’m all for wealth redistribution and won’t shed a tear for these folks, but it seems like the city just flat took their property. The line about “keeping their mailing address up to date” really makes it seem like they were never notified about the problem.

I’ve seen a lot of writers stretch the particulars of a story to get their hot take, but this... Cirque du Soleil doesn’t bend this much to put on a show.

(1) Racial covenants used to be enforced everywhere, not just here, so it’s not like this is some special extra-racist enclave.

Almost Human was another show where they aired episodes out of order, which affected character development as well as the “long plot.” Even so, I didn’t think it was that bad. It seemed like it was starting to gel when it got canceled.
