It’s something you have to worry about in basically all apartments (in the US–despite thin walls and no insulation, I never had loud and inconsiderate neighbors when I lived in Japan). You might get lucky and get a place with good soundproofing, but the odds are slim.
New Axis of evil in the works.
Good.
Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are bad questions.
Your neighbor is legally correct, unless the roots are causing significant damage, in which case you can probably get them held liable for repair.
Don’t give him advice, for fuck’s sake. He’s the bad guy in this scenario.
I hope you realize that you are the bad guy in this scenario.
You have the right to trim limbs that hang over your property, as long as it doesn’t damage the health of the tree. That’s it. You can’t kill part of a tree, just like you can’t kill part of a person or part of a cow or whatever else.
Your neighbor is not crazy for wanting the tree to remain healthy. Trees are a good thing for both the environment and for mental health and are important for providing shade in a warming world. Their leaf litter is also important for insects and birds.
Getting so worked up about some leaves that you want to kill somebody else’s clearly beloved tree suggests that you are being unreasonable. Invest in a leaf blower or hire someone to deal with the leaves if it’s such a big deal to you. Or, better yet, leave them so they can help the local environment.
Someone’s never heard of tree law. If you do go this route, please update us when you get sued.
It’s often (but not always) available at supermarkets, but it’s not commonly eaten. Hopefully the tradition will die off with the older generations.
Eight might be young enough to forgive them, but I highly doubt eleven is.
There way too many tankies on Lemmy.
I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.
It’s pretty obvious from the context.
“All passengers were safe because they were local residents of Alama village,” said Ramadhani, adding that the village is in a mountainous district which can be reached only by helicopter. A joint security force was deployed to search for the attackers, who ran into the dense jungle.
So Papuans hired this guy to get them home, and when he did, their community murdered him. Guess Papuans need to learn to fly or never leave their homes if they live in a mountainous village.
Not everything is about the US.
It’s bizarre to me that the country doesn’t have a line of succession for the next person to automatically assume the vacant position.
“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.
“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.
Edit:
The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…
The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.
A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.
Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.
Did you read the article? Because that sounds really egregious.
