That corner with the bricks is very likely sinking because of that gutter discharging too close to the house. It's actually worse than not having a gutter at all because it's directing the water from the whole roof section to one point. It's a cheap fix to stop future damage(a long piece of gutter extension), but you do want to hire someone to inspect that.

A structural engineer probably or a good home inspector. Have them make sure the grade around the house is directing water away from the foundation, it's the number one reason for foundation damage. Figure out what it'll cost to fix before you buy.

Should we bring back a traditionally racist and homophobic form of punishment? Do I need to even answer that?

If the thing you're proposing is something the Louisiana government is trying to do, it's a clue you're on the wrong track.

Back when I used computers for work I exclusively used trackballs because they're better for my carpal tunnel. I switched back to mice because they're better for games and I rarely use the computer for hours at a time anymore.

I've been wanting a manufacturer to make a good combo trackball/mouse for ages. I think it could be an amazing input device if you could use the mouse part for big movements and the trackball for fine control.

I found one on AliExpress, but it had poor quality sensors, a tiny ball, and no ability to adjust dpi independently.

International law is an arm of US imperialism. The US has repeatedly broken those "laws" with impunity, including supporting terrorist organizations.

Would you subject US children to bombings, starvation and apartheid because the US government has funded terrorism?

Also, fuck off

Civil judgements are worse than bad credit if the they want them to be. They can garnish wages, take your tax returns, attach any property you have or get, etc. Even if you're broke and jobless they can haul you into court every year to file financial documents, just waiting until you have something to take. A lot of times they don't bother once they find out someone is broke they give up because of the legal costs, but in this case they're suing to make a point, not recover money.

There was also an event where high school kids went to the police department to attend a seminar about police procedures. The pigs wanted to make a point about the unreliability of eyewitnesses, so they had a someone pretend to commit an armed robbery in front of the students, without telling anyone first.

UPS package handler/warehouse jobs are pretty good from what I hear, but it's fairly hard work. It's part time, but it has benefits, a union and has opportunities to get extra hours. I think it pays the same $21 starting pay everywhere, which is good for my area at least.

Absolutely no qualifications needed, you just apply online when they have openings and they give you a start date.

From Google Translate:

Our suffering in Gaza was to travel as if we were not human beings. After I returned to Gaza, my health improved until this war happened. After two months, my treatment and most of the medicines in Gaza were cut off. To this day, there is a huge shortage of medicines. During the war and the lack of treatment, the damned disease came back to me. This was one of the reasons I went to Egypt and we paid everything we had to travel there. Yes, we were exploited in a dirty way, but there was no other solution. When we came to Egypt, we did not know that life here had become difficult and extremely expensive. Although I was sick, I worked so that I could provide for my treatment. I worked 11 hours for only $2, which was not enough, but there was no other solution. After a short period, I left work because my health condition became difficult and my head was broken because of it. For this reason, I did a cover-up and our house in Gaza was also destroyed and we lost everything. Since the beginning of the war, my friend Muhammad was telling me to do a cover-up, but I refused because throughout my life I had never thought of asking anyone. I felt broken hearted when I did it. I support you, but there is no other solution. Your donations can help me go to Germany to receive final treatment. There, this was my story and my suffering, and most of the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. I want to thank you for your support and assistance.

I have a theory that the reason Darn Tough socks offers lifetime replacements is because the owner has a foot fetish and just wants to collect people's dirty socks.

Maybe this is a similar scheme
