Reply to comment by NoMoreProphets in City of Toronto puts up sign limiting barking at dog park, removes it following public scrutiny by nimobo

As someone who goes to the dog park 4-5x a week, there is a big difference between barking and excessive barking.

There are definitely dog who will bark continuously for hours. They shouldn’t be at a dog park, this makes other dogs more aggressive too, to have a dog follow you arriving barking in your face isn’t pleasant for anyone.

Reply to comment by Burnsidhe in Landlord changed locks and then took votes on if a tenant could return home by OmegaLiquidX

>In the end, Araki was ordered to pay $40 to Weng for a partial rent refund and $130 in damages for $170.

For an unlawful eviction. In the UK changing the locks without a court order. Would result in an urgent court order to allow the tennant back in and substantial fines in the region of £2,000. And that's just for being locked out over a weekend. Before getting a court order on the Monday.

Or until there are more viable competitive leagues for top talent. All it takes is a guy offering a little more money for UFC to lose all the talent. Unfortunately at the moment UFC is likely the best paying league in MMA

Slapping contests remind me of an old video I saw with two drunk hillbillies sitting on patio furniture in shorts, taking turns zapping each other with electric bug zappers.

If it makes money, I guess I'll start a league for apple-bobbing in hot grease.

Reply to comment by GetlostMaps in Ontario man who declined rental insurance 'panicked' when told he must pay $50K for stolen truck by phishieee

It would seem odd that the hire company doesn't have some sort of basic cover for their whole fleet to cover, say, total loss.

I can't imagine this sort of thing happens terribly often (which will keep the cost fairly low, particularly if it has a high excess), and it'll be a lot easier to claim on the insurance and sting the customer for a high excess than ask them to hand over $50k.

Reply to comment by noes16 in Mental crimes: Amendments to the Public Order Bill, which criminalise silent prayer in England and Wales by El_Kurgan_Alas

Taking your mouth shut draw attention. Holding up a blank piece of paper draws attention. If you are standing on a streat with you eyes closed does that draw attention? Honest question if you saw a person on the street with they eyes closed would you even notice? would the cops have known she was praying if they didn't ask? Again if you are protesting you whant to draw attention you whant to be metaphorically loud wich she wasn't. If I stand in a corner in a concentration camp eyes closed would you think I am protesting? If no that why would anybody think she was protesting. From what I know she wasn't even there an unusual amount of time if you stand somewhere for hours that can be a Form of protest. But again she wasn't.
