yeah it's federal law. It's considered trespassing to be on the tracks unless at a public crossing (and I believe the applies to the entire railroad right-of-way)

I know how it works. I have owned multiple houses (not at the same time, so put down your pitchforks)

I'm just trying to draw a distinction between the home loan part (what you get preapproved to spend) and the rest of the fees you're expected to pay monthly. The home loan part is traditionally a fixed payment, whereas the taxes/insurance can vary over time.

My last home was 860/month for the mortgage to pay principle and interest. Over 6 years the taxes/insurance went from about 300 to 400 a month.

Insurance doesn't pay for maintenance on stuff like a new roof or boiler. That's normal wear and tear that you're expected to pay for as the home owner.

The rent v mortgage thing is understandable in that the bank is going to most likely require insurance and taxes to be paid in escrow. So the mortgage might be $1,500, but the bank needs $2,300 monthly or whatever because they don't trust most people to keep up with insurance and taxes on their own. And that's without getting into long term maintenance costs

I'm sure that's true. I just meant suing in civil court in general for emotional damages stemming from HIPAA violations which enabled a stalker. It's not suing for the breaches, it's suing for the damage caused by the breach. But also it seems like an uphill legal fight when the hospital seems to have dismissed all the violators. (And that's assuming the stalker has a police record, restraining orders, etc)

To sue for emotional distress allegedly caused by HIPPA violations? That's the best I got... But I'm not sure how liable they would be.

It definitely causes major supply disruptions. When they cull they are shutting down the coop for a few weeks to remove the dead chickens and then thoroughly clean it. It's not just the ones they've culled, it's also all the ones they couldn't raise due contending with the outbreak. Plus you have to consider the disruptions caused to replacing egg laying hens

I have no idea. The flu outbreak is still an ongoing issue as far as I know.

There is a really bad bird flu that has decimated the chicken farming industry, driving up prices on all chicken related products. It's a national issue

As for the rotisserie chickens, they're a very popular loss leader to get people in the store. So some companies are willing to take more of a loss than others.

Are you trying to tell me it's not really a Haunted Hotel?

I think they're tacky, but as someone new to Maine I've been very amused by some of these plates. I'm partial to L8RBTCH I sometimes see on my commute...

I'm still convinced Trump ran in 2016 to make money and wasn't serious about winning. Just like I don't think he's that serious about running again, but is happy to send out fundraising emails all the time

(And I'm not saying Trump is a unique politician in this regard, just more brazen)

Maybe he just saw the chance to be associated with a PAC, get donations to spend how the PAC sees fit (wink wink), and then when he loses...oh well. But the PAC keeps the money they did or didn't spend because it's not the candidate's personal campaign fund (wink wink)

In my mind, I like to pretend Big Pumpkin was a nickname/pet-name before they got into farming
