The other one means "three".
Our very own TripartiteDick, a.k.a. Trostrukurac, sadly missed.

We'd say trokurac here. As in idi u trokurac, which is a rare, male genitalia version of "tri picke materine", a local classic.
 
The guy is still running free.

However we should not cheer for him, because he plead guilty for the crime, which was murder of a pregnant women, who was found tucked under the bed in a hotel, by her parents that were searching for her. That shit happened in Ukraine like 10 years ago and the guy has been living home (near Split) ever since. I don't know how and why it took so long for police action to happen, as he was arrested last year.
 
There was a clothing ad on this site. I misread it Children's Outdoors and Golf. Was wondering why golfing outfits for children are so important that it's worth mentioning them in the advertising.
 
This is bizarre

Got a letter in the mail from New York (verified it was legit) claiming I had multiple parking violations between July and August.

Few problems

1) The picture in the citations was not my car
2) Plates were not mine (more on this later)
3) I have never driven a car in New York (always take Ubers)


Turns out when my son traded in his car a year ago, somehow his old plates ended up on a BMW in New York City.

I protested the tickets online (working on getting a police report)

One thing I know for sure is I am not sending them a fucking dime.

Not exactly a case for Law and Order, but still pisses me off.
 
Fun License plate update

Update on this, turned it over to my son to handle, since it was his plate


The dealership said he could have the plates or they could destroy them .. he opted for them destroying them a year ago .. which they clearly did not.
Moral of the story, always get your plates.


So now he has to

1) Call the NY DMV and send them a copy of the bill of sale
2) Start the appeals process on one of the 3 tickets where they already found him/me guilty
3) File a report with the Irving, TX Police
4) Call the dealership and let them know what happened
5) Various other paperwork that needs to be sent to the Texas DMV


What a pain in the ass ... he said work is slow as hell, so he is doing it there
 
As part of the process of dealing with my mother's "estate" I have to get a rough valuation on three rather crap caravans. I couldn't think of any way of doing this except to see what similar caravans are selling for now. Searching for the same models and ages only turns up well-maintained ones that are going for a couple of grand, so just now on a whim I decided to run a search for "crap caravans for sale".

It turned up several references to this:

Pretty much, but he is salary and ends up working way more than 40 hours a week most weeks. With the holiday weekend coming up, lot's of people are off this week .. same with me, pretty much just catching up on stuff in the "low priority" bucket

I don't think it works that way over here. Similary to state ID cards, and banking cards, you're the user but the item belongs to the owner. Plates belong to the state, but are issued to you under terms and conditions.

The sell of a registered car is rather common, the new owner can use it normally until the next yearly registration. Then the registration/plates get decommisioned and a new commision given to the new owner. Usually, cheap and old cars will be sold registered, ads placed soon after the registration renewal, bringing their price to something tangible, but it also benefits the buyer. For instance 20 year old Punto with a year worth of registration goes for about 1000e. And the buyer can use it at once, and he will probably dump it after the previous owner's registration runs out, because people without money can't afford to invest the same yearly amount for old car maintenance.

Basically buy an used cheap registered car, drive it for a year or until it breaks down, dump it without any extra dues.
 
Mom texts me: let's buy you a mobile phone for your birthday.

Me: Wow, that's surprising... but sure. Actually, better wait until I get a contract at work for indefinitely, otherwise I might be unemployed for my birthday...

Mom: I actually meant to say for Manfriend's birthday. Damn auto-correct.

That is different here .. the plates are attached to both the car and the person. When the car is sold the plate goes out of issue for some number of years (depends on the state) ... you can transfer the plate, but generally that is just in private sales. When you sell the car to a dealer, they do not keep the plate.
