This is what over regulation looks like. This law ensures that the wealthy can afford to live here care free and the working class suffers

Or you can do what most people do now. Say fuck it! I'm not spending $800 for mindless repairs on an $800 car. Spend your money on brakes, tires, windshield wipers and oil changes.

My Subaru's have patches on the dog legs (over rear wheel wells) made from stainless steel serving trays I got at Goodwill. I riveted them on and patched with JB Weld. Cost $10 took me 20 minutes.

Patched the muffler with JB Weld and aluminum flashing held in place with a giant hose clamp.

I have a work and personal cell. No company business on the personal, no personal on the company. It’s a pain in the ass but also much better then not having a work life separation.

I went three years doing this, worked out to the same amount of $$$. Just make sure you have insurance.

Holy shit. Thanks for the info guys. I was sure it couldn't be worse than NY. I stand corrected. Frustrating is an understatement. Thankfully I have enough mechanical aptitude to change this out myself, but still over $200 in parts alone

Sounds like you aren't going to be moving in with your friend on the 1st...

Welcome to Vermont. The local govt hates the poors. I drive uninspected until I get pulled over. It’s cheaper to just pay a fine instead of spending thousands of dollars in unnecessary bodywork.

How did you go about doing that? Physically there as they moved their stuff and handed key to you. Then they got paid?

You are right. Once you fail, bondo is out. If you bondo before and hit it with a mediocre paint job, it will pass.

I thought Bondo was out now and it has to be metal?

Usually ends up with one party leaving

You do not need new fenders for your car, but you do need them patched. On fenders you can do a bondo job or whatever you want but it has to be smooth. The reasoning is pedestrian safety(for fenders). If you hit someone, those sharp holes can do a lot of extra damage

VT has some of the most stringent car inspections in the country. They take pictures of your car and plates and upload them to a website that basically restricts you from getting a second opinion. Pony up!!

They are entitled to be their untill the last second of the lease. Not much can be done.

well /r/sysadmin get's pretty spicy when you ask users to install an authenticator app on their phones. Like I get it - it's your device, but to me it's no different than putting a key on your keychain.

I'm surprised you can even download apps. I can't install anything on my work laptop, so shouldn't state-owned phones be the same?

Bring a chamberpot and use it.

The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail runs along Rt 15 and has many entry points, its flat and wide, pretty easy skiing if the snow is decent. There will likely also be snowmobile traffic on it though, so be aware especially if you've got a dog along. Consider using a leash.

Imo, that would be worse than dealing with an authentication app. Hell, I'd even delete Tiktok from my phone before I had to give up my phone reimbursement.

Cricket Hill Trails, right in Hyde Park!

OP asked for tips about getting them to move out, not how to marry the person in the room.

Nope its straight up weird, i still cant believe it

geez-em-crow that's low!

Most residential leases contain a clause terminating the contract if you are unable to assume occupancy. Landlord should then return any rent and security deposits
