fishmech posted:Additionally though, if it's just loose money on the ground there's no real way for the police to find whose it is (unless the person who lost it meticulously recorded all the serial numbers). Turning in a wallet is expected since there can be secondary identification and all that, but loose money on the ground belongs to whoever finds it. Within reason. If you come across a sack that fell off an armored car or an ATM spitting out cash, no, you can't legally keep that.

Jeffrey Colon posted:Probably doesn't fully answer your question, but you can expedite your passport so you can get it much quicker than usual - It just costs more. Unless you are really hard up against a deadline during a busy time of year this is a waste of money. When I got a passport a couple years ago (even shortly before you needed one to go to Canada) I got my birth certificate back in a couple days and the passport itself in like a week.

There was a TVIV thread where lots of adults defiantly proclaimed their love for this cartoon for little girls by buying avatars for themselves and others, then it got to be too much and the topic was banned. Was this ironic or meta or something? I couldn't figure out why those threads existed and sure as hell wasn't going to try and read one to find out. The fact that the topic got entirely banned makes me think I made the right decision.

Knightmare posted:In Germany you can definitely get a ticket for calling a police officer "a loving nazi" and such. I think tickets go up to a couple thousand dollars too if I remember right. That's Germany. In the US, it's 100% legal to give the finger to a cop or tell them "gently caress you" or whatever. Some police departments have even gone as far to train their officers about this because they were tired of writing settlement checks to people who got cited for "disorderly conduct" or something when they mouthed off like that.

WHEEZY HIDE A EGG posted:Are you near vegas? You could take it to Gold and Silver Pawn Shop and probably get on an episode of Pawn Stars. That seems like the kind of thing that would make it to air, especially if it has some signatures of people who are super famous now but got their start working on soaps. They bought a guy's original script to Goldfinger for $500. Don't they always say that scripts are hard to sell and not worth that much money even when they do sell them? Yes, they want to buy things as cheap as possibly but I don't think they turned that Goldfinger script around for like $5,000 either.

WHEEZY HIDE A EGG posted:Was the Goldfinger script signed? With something like a script that's signed by the whole cast, you're selling the signatures more than the script. It could be worth something if, like I said, it's signed by someone that's an A- or B-list celebrity now but was working bit roles on TV back when that script was produced. Another time a guy brought in a Heat of the Night script signed by a ton of people including Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) and they didn't even make him an offer.

I've gotten good deals on tickets below face value and they always came on time (or downloaded instantly) and always worked at the gate. As for the legality of what they do to begin with, welcome to corporate America. Stubhub's hardly the first or only big-time ticket broker.

Gravity Pike posted:Are there any professional sports leagues that do not prohibit performance-enchaining drugs? Part of me realizes that I'm monstrous for this, but I kind of want to see what a team of the best football players that science can build looks like. You're already seeing it. The absolute best PEDs aren't discovered by the testing that sports leagues use. And the NFL testing program has been mocked as being more of an intelligence test than a drug test, since it's easy to beat no matter what you are taking as long as you are smart about it.

recon_etc posted:Why do soccer/association football clubs seem to have so many players? Eleven on the field and three substitutes is fourteen. And yet Arsenal has 29 on their first-team squad, and Manchester United has 34, which is more than double the minimum amount of players. Am I just really underestimating the frequency of football injuries or something? So they can con Americans into paying hundreds of dollars to see them play a friendly against an MLS team and then have only the scrubs play

I didn't know this was such a midwest thing. It's really high up on the Pittsburgh dialect lists too, perhaps only behind "yinz" and "dahntahn".

Don't come to Pennsylvania. As far as I can tell, all the "privatize liquor sales!" poo poo here means "Oh, you're still hosed about what you can buy and where you can buy it, but the liquor stores will be run by whoever bids the most instead of the PLCB". So it will mean jack poo poo to consumers, not have any long-term financial benefit to the state, and really only serve the purpose of busting the union of the people who currently work at the state-run liquor stores.

Hoops posted:I know there are huge stores of silver dollars, Presidential coins and Sacagawea coins that are legally required to be produced but the treasury just can't get rid of. There was a big scam running where you could buy them at face value on a credit card, and get the airmiles, but they've shut it down. There's an episode of the Planet Money podcast (more than one, I think), that describes it. 99% of the people selling coins on tv also have no connection at all to the government. The US Mint does sell retail coin products but there are other "mints" that are either producing replicas or selling a private collection.
