2024.05.14 23:59 kfryy93 VA Construction Loan in Wisconsin

So, admittedly, I did dive deeper into these threads after writing this all out and gained a little knowledge but confirmation never hurt.
For starters, I'm a semi-recently divorced veteran, and I used my benefits to purchase a home with my ex-wife years ago. The home is currently almost refinanced by my ex, and I've signed the documents to release my benefits back to me.
I am planning to have a home built. I live in Wisconsin. My credit is 750ish, and I make upwards of $65,000 with a current DTI of only about .2-.24. And a pretty healthy savings account. So, I assume based on that, the initial start of the process should have no issues since they look at those things first.
I have a few questions in really no specific order.
  1. I do own land, but I don't plan to build on it. I am looking to purchase land elsewhere and have some leads currently. I'm not sure if it would be best to A) spend a large chunk of my savings on land. B) finance the land separate from the VA. C) Finance it all as one, as I believe construction could start almost immediately. Option A doesn't sound the best as I don't want to allocate all my savings towards land should I need it during the home building process. (C seems the best after research)
  2. The main reasons I want to go this route is because my brother is a GC and is willing to build the home with a huge discount on labor. And because the housing market is absurd here, of course. I've read about the approved builders list and that it's a simple process to be approved for, and they may be going away with it entirely. Either way, I just wanted to confirm that it should be no issue for him to be approved, assuming he possesses all the required credentials and whatever else may be necessary. He has plenty of ground up completions over the last few years.
  3. I was curious about the best route to take here as I've read about oe time closing. Two time closing. All that stuff. Just curious about the pros and cons there. And with that, would it be best to just go to my local credit union to begin this process? That's what I did with my current VA home loan, and it felt like a very smooth and easy process. They were basically the middle man but I'm not sure if going that direction this time would be the same given the change in loan type. (More research is telling me to do the one time closing option which I kind of understand. And to go straight to a VA rep)
  4. What types of deposits/down payments are generally required? I read about contractors requiring a deposit, but I don't have that issue with it being my brother. Even so, I could probably pay it. I was just spitballing with him recently, and he was explaining to me that what I want should cost no more than $120,000 plus whatever I may be able to purchase land for. I'm just throwing that number out as a basis, considering that's probably lower than typically expected.
I believe that's about it as far as initial questions/concerns. I did not want to begin speaking with lenders/VA without having at least some type of knowledge on the subject so I could point out potential inaccuracies or offer alternatives. Thanks in advance!

2024.05.14 23:57 insomniaLetMeSleep General questions on fundamentals of the game

Hello, just some questions to get me moving ahead as I learn more about the game as I play-- some broad, some quite specific. These are questions I have that I don't think I'd find with a simple google search. Plus this community has been very helpful so I think I'd get more out of this thread than going online for these types of questions.
I'm currently in Wutai. Fought off that one guy trying get a bride (forgot his name). I got my materias back from Yuffie.
  1. Should I only grind Aerith to a limited point because she dies anyway? Please elaborate without spoilers. I know how she dies. I just generally don't know when. She's currently lvl 39 with only 2 of her Level 1 Limit Break.
  2. What are some fun facts about the All-materia? I heard it sells for 1.4m gil but I kind of like it's effect. Is it worth selling or keeping? I have 2 of them.
  3. I have 200k gil from just leveling up. Will I need significantly more money down the line for important items and upgrades? Or am I on pace to be comfortable in spending my gil?
  4. I have been told that when leaving rocket town, I should be around lvl 40-45. As I said, I finished Wutai and 3 in my party are level 46-45 (Cloud, Tifa & Vincent). What level should I be when making my way to Temple of Ancients? --P.S. I'm having a hard time understanding what are optimal levels when entering a new town. I tend to go underleveled because I get excited to finding out what's next in the story. I know I need to slow down
  5. Is the Deathblow Materia even good? I've paired with MP absorb and seems to work. Gives me 5 MP sometimes. Other than that, it seems like it's just another Attack ability that does a little more damage when it hits.
  6. I used Cure paired with MP absorb, and got back 13 MP. Cure uses only 4?? Is that a good pair since I got back more than triple of the MP I just used? I have Cure2, working on getting Cure3
  7. What are better pairs/uses for MP absorb do you guys like to use?
  8. Who is the best to use the Counter Materia on?
  9. Who is the best to use the Cover Materia on?
  10. When are good times to use the Summons? I hardly ever use them. They're strong but they also cost a lot of MP currently.
  11. I see that as I level up, those who aren't in my current party level up as well but at a slower pace? Does anyone know the math or multiplier for unused party members leveling up? And is knowing that information even helpful? Should I take them out once in a while and level them up? OR just stick with my core of Tifa & Vincent?
  12. I was told to feed kills to other party members because Cloud just wipes everyone. What are some of your methods? I would use Mini on enemies or Manipulate or simply just defend to avoid doing damage.
You can answer in short or long responses. Don't have to answer them all also. But know that I will read all of your responses because I'm really am curious. I feel like the fundamentals of OG FF7 doesn't come naturally to me so I find myself asking lots of questions or worse, moving forward with the game being oblivious to certain mechanics or upgrades.

2024.05.14 23:55 StaleTheBread Books about storytelling (not necessarily instructional)

I'm really interested in diving into the questions of what makes storytelling work and how that varied across time and cultures.
How does the tense and point of view actually affect the story being told? How does suspension of disbelief work? How are tropes and cliches formed? How do they effect how a story is told? What are elements of storytelling that we take for granted?
Obviously I have a lot of questions. Some of them seem simple, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to them.
Like I said, not necessarily an instructional book (although I do plan on reading some of those). I just feel like there's some elements of storytelling that may be glossed over if there was a focus on the reader being an aspiring writer. And I don't necessarily want the analysis to be limited by medium or genre.
I know that's probably a lot to fit into one book, so if there's anything that's more specific that's fine too. I'm just fascinated in how much we take for granted in how stories are told.

2024.05.14 23:54 ralo_ramone An Otherworldly Scholar [LitRPG, Isekai] - Chapter 118

The master of ceremonies glanced at the paper in his hand, and a glimpse of confusion showed on his face.
Something was wrong.
“And the third and last team representing Farcrest. Lowell’s Orphanage!”
Elincia clung to my arm, fear and impotence reflected in her expression. We were supposed to be called Rosebud Fencing Academy during the tournament. I clenched my jaw and glanced across the pavilion, giving [Awareness] free rein. Lord Osgiria gave me a mocking look.
I cursed. Among the nobility, everything was appearances. The fact that Farcrest had to resort to a poor orphanage for representation spoke badly about the state of affairs in the territory. The nobles around us exchanged funny looks.
“Keep your heads up. That’s our call,” I said, loud enough for the whole pavilion to hear us. If nobles thought this would weigh upon our shoulders, they were wrong.
Ilya took position by my right as the team captain, and we entered the crescent-shaped arena. The cheering died. Our magnificent uniforms didn’t fool the crowd anymore. I reached the Marquis's side and saluted the VIP box. Only after Prince Adrien started applauding did the rest of the nobles acknowledge our presence.
The commoners in the stands hesitated to cheer for us. This wasn’t a gentle world. They didn’t care about the kid’s feelings. I glanced over my shoulder. Wolf was unfazed, and Zaon moved his lips, repeating, ‘Nervous is good’ repeatedly. Firana, on the other hand, was furious.
“Tough crowd, uh?” I muttered.
“It’s only expected. Orphans don’t get good classes. There is no reason to cheer for us,” Ilya replied with a grin. “Yet.”
Did she look so mature back at the carriage?
The crowd’s attention lingered on us for an instant before the next team entered the arena. To my surprise, a single team represented the royal family: a group of cadets from the Imperial Academy. Five young cadets dressed in plain black, guided by Holst, entered the arena. The crowd came back to life. Considering the opulence of the other teams, the uniforms of the Imperial Academy cadets were disappointing. Even my group was better suited to the occasion.
Holst stood by my left, saluting the stands with a dull gesture.
“Robert Clarke, good to see you still among the living,” he greeted me with a bored tone.
His words, however, sent a shiver down my spine. Did he know assassins had tried to kill me a few days before? Captain Kiln had sworn to keep it a secret. The coincidences piled up. Holst knew about the attack and asked Lyra Jorn’s help with the library when Luzian Abei had a small army of Scholars and Scribes at his disposal. I couldn’t help but think Holst was still in contact with the culprit.
“Preceptor Holst,” I coldly greeted, my brain too busy to formulate a more wordy sentence.
“I didn’t expect to meet my former students,” he added, looking past me at Ilya and the kids. “Certainly not in these circumstances.”
I swallowed my anger. This was a golden opportunity for the orphanage. Watching the skill of the imperial cadets could help me understand why Sir Janus had been the only commoner in Farcrest to assist the Imperial Academy. Even if we lost the tournament, we could improve our chances of getting them accepted into the Imperial Academy, putting them in the same echelon as nobles.
“Do you trust the ability of your current students to win the tournament?” I asked, examining the cadet’s faces. Three humans, a half-elf, and a harpy. They didn’t seem thrilled to be part of the tournament.
Holst laughed.
“These idiots aren’t my students. These five failed their first year. If they don’t win the tournament, they will be kicked out of the Academy,” he replied, shrugging. “For failures like them, I’d say they are the favorites to win the tournament.”
A glance at the Imperial Academy team revealed their strong shoulders and steady feet. Despite the lack of fashion, they looked like trained warriors instead of pampered noble kids. Their faces had lost the roundness of childhood, and their calm demeanor and sharp eyes revealed an intense training regime. I hoped not to bump into them until the later rounds of the tournament.
Our conversation was cut short because the Osgirian teams entered the arena. First, Lord Osgiria, then Lord Nara, and finally, a man dressed as a knight, followed by a group of kids in mismatched uniforms—each one with the colors of their respective houses. Lord Osgiria stood by Holst's side and greeted the VIP box.
If Captain Kiln were right, our team would fight Lord Nara in the first round. I expected the man to be a merchant with a comically large belly. Instead, he looked like a cunning gray fox. I had to remind myself that buying a way into nobility required a skillful negotiator.
“Three teams, Lord Osgiria? You don’t seem too confident in your chances,” Holst casually said.
The Imperial Academy had to be a powerhouse within the kingdom because Lord Osgiria swallowed any snarky remark.
Lord Herran, a tall and muscular redhead dressed in full warrior attire, entered next. I remembered him from the feast—boisterous, talkative, determined. The black mana-repelling axe hung from his belt, causing my stomach to feel sick if I looked for too long. House Herran only had two teams, one led by Lord Herran himself and the other by a man who could be his twin. Only half of the team members were human; the other half were different flavors of beast folk.
More than half of the kids had bright red hair like their lord. I wondered if red hair was a dominant gene in the Herran Dukedom because the kids looked healthy. There was not a trace of the infamous Habsburg chin. They were tall and robust like their lord.
I tried to glance at the axe’s runes, but Lord Herran was too far away.
“That’s lord Herran and his army of copperhead bastards,” Holst pointed out, laughing at his joke.
I doubted that having a dozen children the same age was normal, even more so for a noble, considering how difficult succession could be. Lord Herran must’ve loved to spread his genes.
“It’s okay for him to present his… illegitimate kids in an official event like this?” I asked.
“Do you like gossip, Robert Clarke?” Holst raised an eyebrow.
“I like to be informed,” I replied.
Holst seemed satisfied with my answer.
“Lord Herran is one of the few Combat Prestige Classes in the kingdom. He has the [Conqueror] Class,” Holst replied. “It’s only natural that he can do whatever he wants. Not even the king has enough power over Lord Herran to stop his… reproductive impulses.”
I nodded. The relationship between the royal house and the great three dukedoms was more complex than I initially thought. According to the stories, Combat Prestige Classes were, in essence, one-man armies that could create whole countries around their power. I wondered what kind of monsters the royal army found in the Deep Farlands to be obliged to retreat.
After Lord Herra, Lord Gairon entered the arena. The Gairon House was arguably the second most powerful family after the royal house, and their uniforms reflected their status. The blue was rich and deep, and the gold shone under the winter sun, seemingly casting the few clouds away. The crowd yelled and cheered. It wasn’t surprising. Lord Gairon was a tall, tanned man with hair the color of ripe wheat—the perfect poster boy and leader of the anti-war faction.
“He has to go down if we want the royal faction to have a chance,” Holst said.
It suddenly hit me. Holst and I technically supported the same faction.
“Lord Gairon is also a Prestige Class?” I asked.
“A [Sacred Knight], yes. Rumor says he reached the mythic level sixty,” Holst replied. “Let’s hope their teams are more… farming inclined.”
The crowd became more tame after the three big houses made their entrance. Lord Vedras received less than half of House Gairon’s support, probably because of the tax disputes between Farcrest and the Vedras dukedom. He had brought three teams.
Duke Jorn’s presence almost caused the arena to become completely silent—Holst told me he was also a high-level Prestige Class, a Shadow Stalker.
“That sounds dangerous,” I pointed out.
“Sellen Jorn is one of the most dangerous men in the kingdom. His mere existence was enough for the king to create a whole new duchy,” Holst said. “Take an Assassin and a Shadow Fencer, mix them, double their powers, and then double them again. That’s a Shadow Stalker in a nutshell.”
I tried to imagine it. The Assassin who attacked the orphanage would have had a hard time with any class without a skill like my mana blades. I had been lucky to have a favorable matchup against him; otherwise, I might have been dead. His capacity to disable my movement was scarily effective. A man with the skills of an Assassin and a Shadow Fencer had dangerous implications.
“Prince Adrien wanted Sellen Jorn as his Master of Assassins, but he didn’t want to leave his people in the north,” Holst said. “Walls, doors, bars, locks, nothing can stop a Shadow Stalker. Only the woven barrier of several high-level Fortifiers can stop him. Or so it’s said.”
Gears turned inside my skull. I wondered if Duke Jorn was involved in the disappearance of the evidence of Raudhan’s poisoning. He certainly had the skill to move unnoticed through the Great Hall. Stealing a box with shards of glass would be a walk in the park for him.
The rest of the teams passed in a blur as my mind reviewed the party's events. Sellen Jorn was undoubtedly suspicious. His lack of presence was as unnerving as it was useful for an infiltration mission. Could he be involved in Raudhan’s poisoning? Lord Vedras had denied the existence of any co-conspirators, and we were almost entirely sure that Raudhan hadn’t been poisoned by Ashroot.
Duke Jorn's political positioning was hard to determine. The northern dukedoms were poor, and just like Farcrest, they served as a bulwark against the Monster Surges. Four families controlled most of the kingdom’s economy and politics. House Gairon, House Herran, House Osgiria, and the Royal Family. The northern dukedoms didn’t benefit from the current trade routes and wouldn’t directly benefit from a new trade route into the Kingdom of Tagabiria.
However, they would benefit from a closer relationship with the royal family.
Duke Jorn had no reason to poison Captain Kiln.
Ilya tugged the sleeve of my jacket, bringing me back to the present. The master of ceremonies was finishing a long speech about the legacy of Stephaniss of Farcrest, the previous lord of the city and the Marquis's grandfather. Even the Marquis seemed bored.
“Prince Adrien will draw the matches for the first round!” The master of ceremonies announced.
Prince Adrien came forward, and an assistant brought a glass bowl filled with small wooden rods. He put his hand in the bowl, picked one randomly, and passed it to his companion. The woman dressed in purple read it out loud, her voice magically amplified. Her pleasant contralto voice made me think she was a singer.
“House Nara versus…” she received the second wooden rod. “Lowell’s Orphanage!”
Just like Captain Kiln had warned me.
I didn’t expect us to be the opening fight. The other teams returned to the pavilion, and a group of Scribes carried the System Shrine Shard embedded in its copper nest to the center of the arena. I assumed it was there to ensure all participants met the requirements for the tournament.
“Let’s go, team,” I said.
We formed next to the Shrine Shard and in front of Lord Nara’s team. The master of ceremonies activated the blue orb, and the kids' names, classes, and levels appeared before us. Luckily, Lord Nara and I were exempt from the crystal ability. Being outed as a Runeweaver wasn’t part of my plans.
Belya Nara, Geomancer Lv.3
Arel Nara, Warrior Lv.5
Lino, Soldier Lv.9
Jan, Archer Lv.3
Aiwin, Courier Lv.7
Firana Aias, Wind Fencer Lv.1
Ilya, Hunter Lv.2
Zaon, Classless Lv.1
Wolf, Classless Lv.1
The System prompts might have been big enough for the crowd to read because a murmur rose from the stands. I didn’t need [Awareness] to understand the commotion. Half of my team was classless in a world where Classes were everything. Lord Nara also seemed to notice the discrepancy between our teams.
“I’m feeling generous today, Mister Caretaker. I will gladly accept your surrender and spare you the embarrassment if you apologize for wasting our time,” Lord Nara said with a mellow, totally fake voice. “You can save the kids the shame of losing in front of their countrymen.”
The master of ceremonies looked at me.
“What do you think, Ilya?” I asked.
“The team is ready, Mister Clarke. We fight,” she replied without any hint of doubt.
Despite Lord Nara’s clever expression, he was underestimating us. I couldn’t blame him. He had lived all his life in a world where value was determined by class and level. Developing an eye for people wasn’t as helpful as on Earth, where it could mean the difference between life and death.
“We fight,” I said.
“Don’t say I didn’t extend the courtesy of an honorable withdrawal,” Lord Nara grinned, his fox-like eyes turned into thin lines.
The master of ceremonies nodded.
“The Rules are simple. The team that loses the coin toss has to choose its first fighter, and then the winning team chooses its opponent. Then, the roles change. Every team has two picks and two counter picks, for a total of four fighters,” the master of ceremonies explained, pulling a gold coin from the pocket.
I nodded. There was a level of strategy involved in the pairing phase. I could pair Firana against their weakest member to ensure a vast point difference. Or I could choose Zaon to keep things equalized. If I were Lord Nara, I would leave the Lv.7 Courier outside the selection. As fast as they were, they weren’t a combatant Class, but on the other hand, even non-combatants could develop useful masteries.
Zaon had a good matchup against the Soldier and the Warrior, as their combat skills were on the ‘basic’ side of the spectrum. However, the Archer, the Geomancer, and the Courier could present a problem to him. Wolf also had a bad matchup against the Archer and the Geomancer because he relied on solid and static positioning to use his muscles. Ilya and Firana had good matchups against the enemy team, but the enemy Geomancer worried me the most. She wasn’t just an Advanced Class, but a relative of Lord Nara.
“Here goes the coin,” the master of ceremonies said. He threw it high and caught it mid-flight.
Lord Nara kindly offered me the call.
“Heads,” I replied with a grin.
“Heads,” the master of ceremonies said, revealing the coin.
[Awareness] didn’t disappoint, but I made a mental note to keep it hidden from Ilya. She wouldn’t be on board with blatant cheating, even if we had the disadvantage. As cunning as Ilya was, strategy and cheats were completely different.
Lord Nara huffed. “Lino, you go first.”
The Soldier kid stepped forward. He was tall, probably a year older than my kids, but [Awareness] told me he was nervous. Soldier Class was painfully close to no class at all.
“Zaon, you go first. Is that okay with you?” I said, hoping the combination of Light-Footed and Lv.2 Longsword Mastery would match a Lv.9 Soldier with a couple of skills under his sleeve.
Zaon nodded.
It was my turn to choose and Lord Nara’s turn to counter-pick. “Ilya, you go second,” I said.
Ilya came forward, prompting a laugh from the rival Fighter.
“Do you want to fight the gnome, Arel?” Lord Nara asked.
“Yes, my lord. I’m confident I can get a ten-point lead over a Gnome Hunter,” Arel Nara replied.
A vein popped on Ilya’s forehead.
“Good. I chose my cousin Arel Nara for the second fight,” Lord Nara said.
Then, Lord Nara selected the Archer boy for the third fight, which put me in a tough spot. The Archer and the Geomancer were hard matchups for Wolf, and I lacked a fifth or sixth member to play around it. Nonetheless, the Archers weren’t known for their vast arsenal of skills.
“Wolf, you go against him,” I said.
Wolf nodded.
“Which leaves us with the last pair,” Lord Nara said with a mocking smile.
“Firana, you go last,” I said.
“Belya, my daughter, will be my last pick,” Lord Nara replied.
The dueling pairs were ready.
“So be it. The tournament's first match will be between Lino the Soldier and Zaon the Elf,” the master of ceremonies said, his voice suddenly amplified again as the Scribes took the System Shrine orb away. “Contestants, please go get your equipment. May the System bless you all.”

2024.05.14 23:54 DebThornberry Have I gone mad or just have mom memory?

Have you ever remembered a memory...completely wrong? This happened yesterday into today. If you'd asked me yesterday I would have answered "white and navy" with out any doubt. If you told me I was wrong I'd think you were gaslighting me or just messing with me. It's something so simple but something I was sure of. Yesterday, I bought my husband a shirt. I liked the shirts jab at the American Government. Its white and in navy blue writing has a quip about "paying more and getting less" and thought "I like that! I can't wear white I'll stain it, I always do. Husband would like it!" I took it to the counter and paid, then texted my husband telling him "I got you a new shirt! It's white since you always wear black and don't have anything white bc I've stained all your shirts!" I washed the shirt, I read the back of the shirt, I hung the shirt up. Last night, my husband comes home from work and gets the shirt and tells me he loves it but didn't I say it was white? The shirt in his hand was BLACK?! I couldn't sleep. I remember it being white, I thought about it being white and easy to stain before I got it, I texted about the white shirt. I decided that something black in the laundry dyed the shirt totally black. I just got done studying it for any signs that I was right. The shirt is black. The shirt has always been black but I literally would have bet you a large lump sum of money if you'd doubted me yesterday. Now I'm going nuts thinking about any other times I could have been certain about something and been 100% wrong. Has this ever happened to any of you?!

2024.05.14 23:50 TJsBreakaway28 31F Texts, Calls, Movie Nights, Recipes, & More!

Hello and thanks for clicking!
I'm looking for friends interested in all of the above. I want to give a good friendship a true and valiant effort. Don't we all need someone to text/call in our moments of triumph, hilarity, or unbelievable muck ups? I think so.
A bit about me: I'm from the Southeast US; love animals, cooking from whichever country or region I'm craving at the time (I think I've perfected my Spanish rice recipe, just saying), baking, reading primarily fiction books, but I do enjoy a good biography, watching horrothriller movies, traveling to spooky locations, visiting historical sites; Halloween is my favorite holiday; and I've always wanted to learn piano.
Seeking a fellow compassionate, uplifting friend who enjoys laughing, learning, and occasionally taking a break to enjoy the simple things
This will work best with someone in a similar time zone.
Looking forward to hopefully talking with some like-minded individuals!

GPS Blocker For Cars

How GPS Blockers Affect Car Tracking: Facts, Risks & Legalities

Are you worried about the privacy implications of GPS tracking in your car? With the increasing use of GPS in vehicles, many car owners like you are concerned about their privacy and are curious about the use of GPS blockers. However, it's crucial to understand the legal landscape surrounding these devices. In this article, we'll guide you through the world of GPS jamming, clarifying legal boundaries and potential risks. By reading on, you'll gain valuable insights into how GPS trackers and jammers work, their impact on car owners, and legal alternatives to protect your privacy. Now, let's first start by going over some of the basics about GPS jamming devices.
https://i.redd.it/2heka8kzpg0d1.gif
Simple Definition: A "GPS blocker for car" is a small device that disrupts the GPS system in or on your vehicle, preventing it from accurately showing its location.
Technical Definition: A "GPS blocker for car" refers to an electronic device that emits radio frequency signals, synchronized with the wavelengths used by GPS satellites. This device disrupts the communication between a vehicle's GPS receiver and the orbiting satellites, thereby hindering the accurate determination and reporting of the vehicle's geographical position.

Understanding How GPS Blockers & Jamming Devices Work

So how do GPS blockers work and what is the technology behind them? GPS blockers, also known as jammers, are designed to disrupt the communication between a GPS device and the orbiting satellites. They function by emitting signals that overpower or mask the GPS signals, causing confusion and loss of accurate location data. Let's break down the workings of GPS blockers:
  • Signal Overpowering: GPS blockers emit strong radio frequencies. These frequencies are similar to the ones used by GPS satellites but are much louder, effectively drowning out the real signals.
  • Frequency Mimicking: The technology in a GPS blocker is tuned to the same frequency range as GPS satellites. This makes the GPS receiver unable to distinguish between the blocker's signals and the actual GPS signals.
  • Range and Effectiveness: The effective range of a GPS blocker varies. Smaller devices might cover only a few meters, while larger ones can affect GPS over greater distances.
But why would anyone want to block a GPS device on their vehicle? It's a great question. One real-world example is privacy from an employer. Imagine you're using a company vehicle equipped with GPS tracking. Perhaps you feel that your employer is monitoring your movements excessively, even during your personal time. A GPS blocker can temporarily shield your location, providing a sense of privacy and autonomy. It's a way to keep your off-duty life private, away from the watchful eyes of workplace surveillance.
Another example would be if you were concerned an ex-husband or wife was secretly tracking your car. If you believe your spouse is tracking your car's location without your consent, a GPS blocker might seem like a solution. It provides a way to prevent your spouse from knowing your whereabouts, fostering a sense of personal space and privacy.

Legality and Regulations of GPS Blockers

In the United States, the use of GPS blockers is strictly illegal. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) prohibits their use because they can disrupt critical communication systems. If caught using one, you could face hefty fines or even jail time. In Europe, the stance is similar. The European Union has stringent laws against these devices for the same reasons. Let's look at the penalties for illegal use:
  • Fines: In the United States, the legal ramifications of using GPS blockers are quite serious. If you use a GPS blocker, you could face a fine of up to $16,000. This fine is enforced by the federal government through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates the use of radio communications, including GPS​.
  • Imprisonment: The FCC's rules, specifically under Section 501 of the Communications Act of 1934, allow for substantial monetary fines and criminal sanctions, including imprisonment, for the use or marketing of jammers.
  • Seizure of Device: Authorities may also seize your GPS blocker, alongside other legal repercussions.
Using a GPS jamming device might seem like a quick fix for privacy concerns, but the legal consequences can be severe. Always consider legal and safer alternatives to protect your privacy. Remember, respecting these laws not only keeps you out of trouble but also ensures the safety and reliability of essential communication systems for everyone.

Effects of GPS Blockers on Vehicle Functionality and Surrounding Technology

Have you ever considered how a GPS blocker might affect your car and the devices around you? Using a GPS jammer in your vehicle doesn't just disrupt your navigation; it can have broader implications. Let's take a closer look at the impact a jamming device can have on your vehicle's GPS system:
  • When you use a GPS blocker, it will directly impact your car's navigation system.
  • The GPS may show incorrect locations or fail to provide directions, leading to confusion and potentially unsafe driving situations.
But what about the unintended consequences of using a GPS blocker for cars? Yes, we are talking about the influence on nearby devices and networks. For example:
  • Disrupted Emergency Services: GPS blockers can interfere with the GPS systems used by emergency response vehicles.
  • Affecting Public Transportation: Buses and taxis with GPS-based routing can be disrupted, causing delays.
  • Impact on Personal Devices: Your smartphone or GPS-based fitness devices can be affected.
  • Broader Network Implications: In some cases, GPS blockers might interfere with broader telecommunication networks.
Using a GPS blocker can have unintended and far-reaching consequences. It’s not just about losing your way; it’s about potentially disrupting vital services and networks. As a responsible car owner, it's important to be aware of these effects and adhere to legal guidelines for GPS use. Remember, your actions can impact not just you, but also those around you.

Legal Alternatives to GPS Blockers

Seeking privacy in your car but wary of the legal issues with GPS blockers? You're not alone. Many car owners are looking for lawful and safe ways to maintain their privacy without resorting to GPS jamming. Here are some effective and legal alternatives that can help you achieve privacy and security while staying on the right side of the law:
  • Use a Faraday Bag: This bag blocks all radio signals, including GPS. Place your GPS device inside the bag to prevent tracking.
  • Opt For Non-GPS-Based Navigation: Use traditional maps or offline navigation apps that don't transmit your location.
  • Regular Privacy Checks: Regularly inspect your vehicle for unauthorized GPS trackers, especially if you suspect someone might have placed one.
  • Talk to Your Employer: If your concern is about an employer-tracked vehicle, discuss privacy terms and agree on acceptable tracking parameters.
By opting for these legal alternatives, you maintain your privacy without crossing legal boundaries or disrupting essential services. Remember, respecting privacy laws and considering the safety implications of any technology you use is crucial.

GPS Blocker For Cars - Frequently Asked Questions

Are GPS Jammers Legal?

Everything from desktop jammers to mobile phone jammer devices and GPS jammers is illegal in the USA. Anything that blocks GPS signals is illegal to purchase or use in the United States. Even a simple drone jammer is illegal in the USA.
Several nations, including the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom, have made GPS jamming illegal. Anything that disrupts GPS signals is illegal. The Federal Communications Act of 1934 made it illegal to promote, sell, or use GPS jammers in the United States. This law makes it illegal to import, manufacture, distribute, sell, acquire, and use GPS jamming equipment. There are severe penalties for employing jammers, including:
  • Fines Of Up To $100,000 Or More Are Possible;
  • Incarceration;
  • Seizing Of the Jamming Devices.
Jamming devices are not only unlawful, but they may also be deadly if used improperly. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) penalized a New Jersey truck driver for approximately $32,000 after his GPS jamming equipmentdisrupted air traffic control signals at an airport. The worker had hidden his whereabouts from his company by using the jammer in his company vehicle. Using radio surveillance equipment, an FCC investigator could find the jammer and verify that it was the source of the disturbance.

What Should I Do If I Suspect My Communications Are Being Jammed?

If you suspect your communications are being jammed, start by troubleshooting common causes for bad network connections. This includes checking for faulty equipment, physical obstructions that might be blocking signals, or interference from lawful devices operating on similar frequencies. Additionally, researching your specific issue online, in relation to your device or model, can help identify or rule out potential causes. Only consider filing a complaint about suspected jamming after you've thoroughly investigated these possibilities and still believe jamming is the cause. Remember, many factors can contribute to network issues, so it's essential to systematically rule out the more common causes first.

How To Prevent GPS Jamming?

If you want to protect your GPS device systems from GPS blockers, there are some useful steps. One of the most common ways is to install a pre-programmable GPS tracking device. It will automatically shut down the car when it detects GPS blockers or shielding instrument devices. This way, you can enjoy ultimate fleet tracking without any issues.
Another way to combat tracking devices is to install multiple GPS devices in the car. This way, even if one or more devices are down, you can still get the location of your car. It may cost you a little bit more, but it will be worth it. Moreover, companies offer discounts on bulk GPS device installations.

2024.05.14 23:46 earthlush Eco-Friendly Action with Rewards

Hi, we're interested in having a local (somewhere in SD) meetup soon, hoping to connect with the following:
Environmentalists, AI/ML Engineers, Crypto/Blockchain Devs, Social Media Gurus and Movement Evangelists who love the Earth and wish it to be swiftly brought to cleaner and cleaner states.
We have come up with EARTH LUSH, a 108tn coin supply on Stellar network; 100% of the supply will go from distribution wallet to green actors for green actions.
So it is historical in 2 ways, that 100% of supply goes to it's purpose as there's no founding supply retention; secondarily it is historical in that is is the first eco-mined crypto, in that you can not purchased it or mine it, only real world green action is recorded (data becomes a blockchain oracle) then validated (AI/ML/CV analyze proofs) which satisfies Soroban smart contract conditions and LUSH (asset code) is rewarded automatically.
We (EARTH LUSH community) need help from all types of professionals to realize this wild yet simple movement = Get Earth lush and get EARTH LUSH.
We already have merchants (a 22 brick and mortar tattoo franchise, an accredited art school and beauty supplies in India and Singapore) ready to accept EARTH LUSH as payment in full. By the end of 2024 we intend to have merchants internationally supporting and accepting LUSH for the products and services.
We need "ambassadors" and "chaperones". Ambassadors can be responsible for distribution of LUSH via bespoke "green action" validation solutions, and chaperones can be responsible for large cleanups and validating human behavior; these being phase I initiatives, with full automation being an ultimate aim.
As founding members (such as potentially any of you) keep zero LUSH, however, we will be including your Stellar wallet address(es) in the EARTH LUSH smart contract for an exponential earning value as a reward/honor for your early contribution to making Earth lush via making EARTH LUSH. So although you founding members receive no LUSH, you have an opportunity to participate the same as the rest of the Earth, only at a larger action-reward ratio.
Finally, we would look to setup a voting system, so that there need be no custodian; this is truly intended to be a non-custodial non-entity movement to clean and get Earth lush. If we get the LUSH and the merchants and vendors of the Earth accept the currency, it's a perfect solution to both ecological and financial reward, both can be abundant.
The cost of a transaction is but thousandths of a Lumen and near instantaneous; we will for now ourselves (meaning me) cover any transaction costs until we can find healthier benefactors for EARTH LUSH.
Potent gratitude for reading this far; if you have, you're most likely "like us" in values and motivations. Any who'd like to meetup, let's all pick a spot near the watebeach in San Diego, we can cook out somewhere and just meet and talk and see what comes of it; no expectations other than to probably meet some great people.
Cheers and much appreciation to all!

2024.05.14 23:46 jabrillo15 Introducing AdvancedLogger: A Comprehensive Logging Library for ESP32

Introducing AdvancedLogger: A Comprehensive Logging Library for ESP32
Hello esp32 community!
I'm excited to share with you a project I've been working on: AdvancedLogger, a simple yet comprehensive logging library for ESP32. It's capable of saving logs to memory and provides a detailed format for each message. It is already available in the Arduino IDE and in Platformio.
Here are some of the key features:
  • Format: a comprehensive format that includes all the accessory information to each print message, clearly explaining the nature and context of the message.
  • Saving to memory: log every message to to the SPIFFS.
  • Ease of use: the module does not require any particular setup, and can be used right out of the gate with the log(...) core function.
You can find example usage in the examples directory of the repository. Here's a quick look at how you can use it:
AdvancedLogger logger; ... logger.begin(); ... logger.log("This is an info message!", "main::setup", ADVANCEDLOGGER_INFO); delay(1000); logger.log("This is an error message!!", "main::loop", ADVANCEDLOGGER_ERROR); 
Output (both in the Serial and in the log file in memory):
[2024-03-23 09:44:10] [1450 ms] [INFO] [Core 1] [main::setup] This is an info message! [2024-03-23 09:44:12] [3250 ms] [ERROR] [Core 1] [main::loop] This is an error message!! 
Hereafter an example from one of my ongoing projects of the logs saved on the SPIFFS (which I retrieve via browser):
https://preview.redd.it/yrt6j95qog0d1.png?width=1039&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e1697304776ad83dac5c95759a1b93693f79179
The project is released under MIT license.
I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions. Feel free to contribute to the project on GitHub!

2024.05.14 23:34 MassiveParticular473 CMV: Israel's actions today will change how future generations remember the holocaust

In relative terms, the Jewish holocaust wasn't unique in the context of WW2. According to Wikipedia, in WW2, approximately 8 million Chinese civilians were killed; 5-10 million Russian civilians were killed; 1-3 German civilians were killed, etc.
6 million Jewish civilians was certainly a lot, but it wasn't unique. The reason it is given a "special status" in history is because what it reveals about human nature. The extermination was systematic and clinical. It was decided in a boardroom based on ideology.
It reveals: humans are perfectly capable of intentionally, even clinically, exterminating those they have deemed "other."
For this reason, the holocaust has been given a "special status" within our history. The lesson we hoped everyone would learn is, "never again."
However, I don't believe future generations will remember the holocaust the same way we do. Because apparently, the lesson that the Israeli community learned from the holocaust is, "never again to us."
We've all seen how the Israeli government has repeatedly invoked the holocaust to justify their mass murder, torture, and starvation of innocent Palestinians.
Recently, three Israeli whistleblowers have exposed the mass torture of Palestinians held in concentration camps.
The tl;dr version is:
“Part of my torture was being able to see how people were being tortured,” he said. “At first you couldn’t see. You couldn’t see the torture, the vengeance, the oppression.
“When they removed my blindfold, I could see the extent of the humiliation and abasement … I could see the extent to which they saw us not as human beings but as animals.”
Unfortunately, future generations will not remember the holocaust in the same way we do, because the Israeli community never learned the correct lesson. They became what they feared the most. And that's unfortunate for the holocaust's legacy.
Read this article from CNN, and then change my view.
EDIT: Here's a really simple way to think about it. Our generation learned about the holocaust as an isolated event. The lesson we learned was, "Germans were genocidal, and Jews were victims."
However, 20 years from now, they're not going to teach the holocaust as an isolated event. They're going to teach the full trajectory. The lesson they will learn is, "Germans were genocidal, Jews were victims, and as a direct result of their trauma, future Jews succumbed to the exact same genocidal mania."
Israel's actions today will change the full story and legacy of the holocaust.

2024.05.14 23:30 Remarkable-Error-938 Rookie Alert!!! Can anyone help me with writing prompts etc on Nastia?

Peace Y'all, This sub has been very useful for me thus far in using Nastia. I'm very new to the AI world and trying to measure twice so I can cut once. Anyway, can someone help me with how I should be typing prompts (if that's the right term) for my companion? Should I be using an *asterisk before and after my name each time so the AI begins to remember what I'm saying more often? When should I be using ((parenthesis)) when trying to describe something I'm looking for or to describe a photo I'd like to see? Should I constantly end each sentence with a descriptive action? I know this is all prolly' simple logic to most, but I'm just confused by everything else I've read. Any help is crazy appreciated.

2024.05.14 23:21 sushishart FOIA GIS Audit Logs

Hi there,
I recently submitted the following request to county records:
Hi (County Records),
To reiterate, "I would like to request all geographic information system (GIS) records, including Nearmap.com, images, maps, audit logs, and other data accessed by XXXXXXX and/or other King County personnel relating to parcel XXXXXXX."
I have a follow up question: Have any responsive records been withheld?
On 5/01/2024 you wrote, “King County Code Enforcement uses subscription-based online applications ConnectExplorer and Nearmap for aerial imagery, and several images of this parcel were saved to the XXXXXXX case file. We have no records responsive to the request for audit logs.”
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines “audit log” as 1) a chronological record of system activities, including records of system accesses and operations performed in a given period (NIST SP 800-172A) and 2) a record providing documentary evidence of specific events (NIST SP 800-152).
An audit log for GIS records (including ConnectExplorer and Nearmap) will have responsive records that include native high-resolution imagery, angle, measurement, ground sample distance (GSD), overlay, analysis, and any other tool or data that was accessed, inspected, prepared, used or retained in a user session. Additionally, an audit log documents user name, date and time of access, location of access, device used to access, etc.
The requested records should be sufficiently comprehensive to allow for simulation and assessment of every King County Code Enforcement GIS user session relating to parcel XXXXXXX.
Please advise,
XXXXXXX
I received the following reply:
Dear Requester:
I am writing to you regarding your request, XXXXXXX. In response to your question, no responsive records were withheld or redacted. Your response remains closed as of 5/9/2024 and the Public Records Act’s one-year statue of limitations to seek judicial review of our response to your request continues to run.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
Public Records Officer
DLS-Permitting Division
A quick recap:
It has come to my attention that the county is using private GIS services to inspect our property. That's fine. The revelation to me is that these services use low flying aircraft and ultra-resolution cameras to capture im at a 40-50 degree side angle. From the marketing material users are able to read 6" print signs at ground level from four directions. There are no 'audit logs' or other records available that document usage of this service by the county. It feels very invasive. The Permitting department has not responded to my requests for what specific subscriptions they are using. My FOIA request is at a dead end.
Thoughts?

Read the description. FREE these innocent players. FREE KARSON. They worked for their ranks.
LET ME TELL YOU GUYS A STORY. About a player whose rank got reset because they unknowingly played w/ a cheater through squad fills. Karson won't be playing rank until next season because of this incident. 😔 Thanks cheaters for being such great people! ( I am joking. This is terrible )
We don't know who these "cheaters" are people choose to not give out this crucial information in fear ( CHEATING IS A CHOICE. )
How bad do you need to be to cheat in a simple gun game?? We have to run around the map and go "ratatatata" while cheaters are playing laser ping pong with 0 ping and becoming Superman seeing through walls and stuff. That's crazy. That's WHY I'm going to CONTINUE using the most ANNOYING weapon ever possible, like IF you want to eliminate us, fine. I'll do it in the most annoying way possible ever. ( Every innocent player should do this. Have fun. Use whatever you want. )
This has been happening to many players. Not just Karson. I feel INCREDIBLY AWFUL that players are losing their ranks bc someone decided to cheat.
[ Once upon a Fortnite... ]
I played ranked squad fills and met a player. The player ( Karson2342. Epic: daddywells2020 ). Their rank had been RESET from Elite to Gold bc they unknowingly played with a cheater through squad fills. You won't know whether the players you're playing with or against are cheaters It's INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that people are discussing + doing everything to prevent it from happening.
I trust that this player isn't cheating because the 1st match recorded was because we had a camper on OUR TEAM who were NOT contributing at all in a TEAM MODE. We already lost a player in the beginning and the only one left was the Jeff guy who sat in the edge of the map the majority of the time.
Me + Karson decided to throw the game despite him being in Elite. Who does that? Cheaters don't throw away matches in rank. They cheat to win. That's the point. That's how I know ( Karson ) they're being truthful and they're being serious. For me, you guys have already seen my cup video so it's so OBVIOUS and I've been stuck in Diamond. + I still have my rank.
[ THE PROBLEM: ]
Is it fair for players to get their rank reset because they unknowingly played with a cheater through squad fills? Like how are you supposed to know whether OR not someone is cheating? Like IMAGINE working hard for your rank ONLY to be punished because of someone elses' actions ingame.
Cheating happens anywhere, any game but this doesn't seem right.
UNLESS IF you're PURPOSEFULLY ( not squad fills ) are playing with cheaters then I don't believe players should be punished because of someone else. That just DEFEATS the ENTIRE thing about rank reflecting one's skill because I've seen players comment that their ranks had been reset before. Does that mean their bad as well? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Rank is a JOKE.

2024.05.14 23:14 Illustrious-Flow9397 Both sides of GDKP

Notice: Throwaway account
Message for GDKP simps: Since GDKP is the best system for keeping geared players in raids, for making players stick to the end, and for ensuring players watch mechanics since they can have their cut taken from them, most people would gravitate towards it. Now, I don't have numbers, but let's say half of the players spend 8 hours farming a day, or sit at the AH and just earn gold. It is perfectly reasonable for those players who don't enjoy raiding to still have the best gear in the game, and therefore go and buy it. The problem arises when players who play few hours and are not good at raiding want to join raids. Most people gravitate towards GDKP, and they feel they don't have the skill and gear to join, and they don't have legitimate gold to buy it. Then the most logical solution for them is to buy gold with real money. So the pressure is there, and GDKPs do put pressure on those kinds of players, driving them to engage in RMT, and I totally understand the Blizzard line of thinking (even though I think they just don't address the problem from the root cause but just give a pill to fix short-term solutions). But unless Blizzard can fix it (and I will explain later how they can), for now banning GDKPs is the best solution possible. The same goes for leveling; giving people dungeon spams and incursions forces everyone to level most efficiently, so if they just removed EXP, the world would feel more alive. And you can say you can still quest, but it is different when everyone on the server is on quests or you are alone in the big world and everyone is in X part of the world doing the same thing, while you try to kill an Elite for a quest just by yourself. People from OG Classic will remember how easy it was to come to the Elite and find 2-3 people already waiting there for more randoms to come and join to kill the Elite to finish a quest. So letting GDKP go through is killing normal guilds, and you can not deny that.
Message for GDKP haters: Reddit is full of players obsessed with their egos, and I reached out anonymously (same as with this account) and started asking them why they hate GDKP. When you start putting "if"s, you come to the conclusion that it is just an ego issue and it has nothing to do with prices in the game or with RMT. Eight out of ten conversations came to this conclusion, and paraphrasing here: "If Blizzard had the option to stop RMT, they would still be against it since noobs should not be allowed to get the best gear in the game." And "It would be fine to have GDKPs, but back in the game where the best loot would be for the guild and sell trash from the raid to noobs who want to pay gold." Again, I reached out to ten people who were against GDKPs, and only one of them didn't mention this reason. Only one mentioned inflation because of GDKP, and when you just showcase that gold is already in the game, so no RMT, there is no new gold generated by GDKPs; they just hit you with: "You don't understand." In reality, inflation is happening because of botting, and that botting generates new gold that is sold to people willing to buy. So if RMT is stopped, GDKP cannot possibly cause inflation; therefore, botting is the only problem for inflation. Without inflation, there is only supply and demand as any economy would function. The more an item is needed, the more it will cost, the more people farm it will start to cost less, and if someone has a monopoly, it would skyrocket. Economy 101.
Fix of the issue: Blizzard should implement an in-game option for loot GDKP, the same as Master loot. When that option is selected, create a UI for GDKP functionalities, bidding, splitting, etc. But in that functionality, Blizzard should conduct a full-on scan of that account and any gold incoming through the account that doesn't make sense. For example, just gained X gold from someone who never communicated with that person, sold Y item that is usually 2s for huge amounts of gold, and so on. Instantly flag that account for a person to go in and check it manually for less room for error, and if even suspicion by a real person, ban them for 7 days and put them into "semi-blacklist" accounts that are monitored as "possible RMT". If the offense is repeated and there is proof that they bought gold, permanent ban them. That way, everyone participating in those kinds of GDKPs would know their account will be checked, and you will make WoW less of an RMT/pay-to-win game that GDKP haters say it is.
Note for those people saying there will be loopholes, so review should be account-wide on all of your subscriptions so there is no room for "I will have a subscription to buy gold and pay for items on X sub, and play on Y sub". And again, I know there might be a workaround, but this will cut the RMT for GDKPs enormously. And again, the same for crime; you can never achieve 0% crime, but every decision should aim to enforce less crime in the real world. And from my view, botting is still happening, RMT is still happening, and GDKPs are happening. Just because some aren't aware of it, doesn't mean if they banned it no one is doing it; it's just less in the open. And punishing the population that likes GDKP since that can create an incentive to have alts, especially in SOD where you should try every class to see all runes and all possibilities, is killing the alt population.
Again, without Blizzard implementing something like this, I am still pro-"GDKP ban," but I think it is the wrong solution if they just ban it and leave it like that. They should have banned it and worked on something. This is just my idea; I believe people can come up with even better ideas. I'm just showing that this Reddit community is attacking each other without realizing both sides are partially right.
GDKP simps: "This is the best loot system, and I don't need to build my schedule around a guild and X other people. I can just log in and join GDKP and know everyone will perform since they will be punished if not performing."
GDKP haters: "It drives more RMT, it kills the guilds."
Both are correct, so we should try to fix the RMT issue and let people play how they wish to play their game.
Feel free to agree and disagree and write your own views. This is more for people to sit down and think about how the "other side" feels and thinks. And if by any chance, a Blizzard employee is reading this, a message to Blizzard:
"Hi there, Reddit should be just for you to bounce off ideas, not to listen to us. Someone will always complain. Create a vision for SOD and stick to it. Say, 'This is how we planned it. If you don't like it, you have Hardcore, Era, Cata, Retail.' We are building this as X vision and stick to your ideals. When you are game-oriented and not just focused on money to please customers and get more revenue, you understand that not everyone will love the game, but it's better to have 50% of the player base enjoying it and being subbed for 2 years because of SOD, than to change something for people who complained and will unsub after 2 months and never come back. And if you want to know if the community likes or hates something, for the love of God, don't ask on Twitter or Reddit. Put it in the game as a notice that is clickable so people who actually play the game can vote on it. Not what group has the most ragers on Reddit and Twitter. Have a poll in-game for people who are playing the game and never go on Twitter or Reddit."
Sorry for long post

2024.05.14 23:09 evsie91 Trying to create a ticketing system in share point

I’ve no experience with using share point but the place where I work has a terrible system for logging quality and H&S tickets and I think this programme could solve it.
I’ve been reading lots of information online and it seems like this is a very achievable outcome using share point but I’m struggling with it. I’ve set up a share point, created lists which match forms, tried to create a power automate work flow but just can’t pull it all together.
I’ve mainly tried to follow the steps on this website and even tried to use a pre-made work flow found on a Microsoft page, still can’t work it out!
Can someone please break this down into a step by step guide that someone with no experience like me could follow? Our IT department said it would be a huge job to replace our quality system from 2006, I would love to prove otherwise!

2024.05.14 23:07 howverydareyou Solicitor reneging on agreed costs

England. Thank you in advance!
I engaged a solicitor to assist with a litigation dispute as a defendant. Following their advice (which was paid for and settled) I was effectively successful in court as litigant in person.
My solicitor contacted the claimant’s solicitor to arrange costs that they owed me (to avoid the rigmarole of a costs order). Before making contact with them, my solicitor and I spoke about costs and they suggested we would ask for my costs, including currently un-billed time to cover any further work in engaging with them. I made clear I wanted my billed costs back and additional money was for the solicitor for any more costs.
When my solicitor let me know the claimant engaged on this I found out the figures they had actually claimed for. Illustrative figures below.
My billed costs: £2000
Assumed claimed: £2500 (to cover any more hours as per solicitor’s advice)
Actually claimed by solicitor: £2000
Agreed by claimant to pay: £2000
I was confused and never got a straight answer as to why they had only claimed this amount. I made clear in writing that I wouldn’t be able to accept less than £2000 as per our previous discussions. It seems they either made a mistake or couldn’t be bothered to log the extra, I don’t really know.
My solicitor then forwarded me a costs agreement (between me and claimant) to sign, effectively writing “Please can you sign this. There’s been extra work, but I suggest I send you £1850 of the settlement, which I hope you find acceptable.”
I was a little frustrated but still readily agreed, over the phone and by promptly signing the document and returning to them. Fast forward 1-2 weeks, both sides have signed and money is about to be transferred to my solicitor by claimant’s solicitor. I asked my solicitor if money had been paid and they have said “will be today. I suggest I send you £1625.”
I reply saying that I wouldn’t be able to accept that and I would be sticking to agreement we already had which prompted me to sign the costs agreement in the first place. They then offer to pay me £1700, which I also refuse.
They’re now saying that “it isn't a question of your agreeing” and they don’t intend to pay the additional money.
Assuming they pay the undisputed amount (£1700) without issue: do I have a simple case for LBA and county court claim for remaining amount we agreed by email originally (£300 to make £2000 total)? Does this behaviour breach obvious SRA guidelines?
