I don't think it's exactly against the law. Though the local HOA might have something to say about it.

But noise complaints are noise complaints, whether or not you like the sound of chickens if they're being too loud you're going to get a knock on the door. Same as if you had a very annoying dog.

I was thinking more about the space constraints. Chickens need quite a lot of space to be comfortable, both in terms of health but also because if they get stressed the attack each other. So they need space to spread out.

Trying to do that in suburbia seems sort of unfair to the chickens you know. The garden I have right now would need to be at least five times the size it currently is in order to meet the minimum size, and it still wouldn't comply because it's basically all just concrete and borders. So it has to be both big and basically all grass.

What aspect of any of this makes you think she's a gold digger the article never says virtually anything about her except she wants to divorce.

It's not that quick, the nearest river is about a 25 minute walk from me, I wouldn't call that convenient. Also it's raining , so I can't go now or I'll get wet.

I haven't down voted them but I was strongly inclined to do so.

It's an argumentative comment that adds nothing to the conversation. Of course we should protect vulnerable people, but we actually already do do that. At some point someone has to take responsibility for their own susceptibility to manipulation, such as recognise you can no longer make sound financial decisions and give power of attorney to someone else. Otherwise it is their fault they're getting manipulated.

Just because of victim is over the age of 40 doesn't mean that they're mentally infeebled. This attitude ignores the underlying issue which is that quite a lot of people are just quite stupid.

We do protect the vulnerable from bad actors, when anybody tries to make large transfers of money the banks are required to check the validity of the transaction but ultimately if the individual insists what's the bank supposed to do. It's their money.

There is only so much that it is possible to do, and beyond a certain point you have to accept that scams are either going to happen or just take people's ability to control of their own money away from them, neither are particularly good options.

I feel like it's not just being tech-savvy though. He seems to lack basic common sense.

Why would you assume that a free car giveaway would necessitate you paying transfer fees, why wouldn't that have already been pre-arranged. After all it's a Tesla car presumably Tesla the ones who are going to deliver it. Additionally why would the competition be exclusive to a niche Facebook group and not a national campaign. It all just seems very obviously a scam.

My parents aren't particularly tech savvy and often send me AI garbage but they wouldn't be easy marks because both of them have critical thinking skills, or at least my mother does. But my dad has learnt to do what he's told.

I didn't actually witness, this but one of these scam call centres called my bosses bosses well he was attending a cybersecurity conference. Unfortunately there's no actual video of the event but apparently everyone involved had a good time stringing the idiot along for about 45 minutes.

The problem with that is what do you do if a game doesn't match all of the tags, do you hide it or do you show it. How many of the tags does it have to match in order to be shown?

For example Teardown is a story rich, FPS with destruction mechanics. But it don't have much in the way of weapons customisation, so do you want it, or not?

I've had jobs where I'm not able to talk about specifics but they're still plenty of good stories you can tell.

I'm putting a lot of effort into visiting the United States here. I think I'm just not going to bother.

I'm colour blind so there's basically only three colours on this graph but what I'm assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I'm assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.

For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.
