@LiberalLibrarian We talk about cheap, Chinese knockoffs...now add cheap Russian knockoffs--copper as granite. Who would'a thunk? #Russia as a third world country.

@IrelandTorin Dang it. Don't want to go down a rabbit hole about hazardous waste contamination cleaning...as declared by landlord. Though, I started looking at cigarette smoke residue levels that are typically detected by nonsmokers when renting hotel room. As a nonsmoker...not a good time sleeping in the only available hotel room and it happened to be a "smoke" room. You really can't get rid of the smell.

@IrelandTorin Interesting points...yet, would you consider a meth user a responsible person in being careful about handling drug in a manner that would or would not contaminate area where it is being used? Don't know the specifics to lab results, i.e., concentrations, number of sampling points (at least two, room and HVAC), lab method used along with lab QA/QC...

@Armchaircouch In much the same manner that a hotel that has people that want to smoke stay in a "smoke" room. Otherwise, they'll get charged for the cleaning. Guessing that landlord can now rent dwelling to other meth addicts.../s

#Innewsoftheabsurd A landlord’s tenant and the tenant’s guests smoked methamphetamine in the rental unit. Testing found significant levels of methamphetamine residue in the unit and HVAC system. The landlord filed a claim for the resulting remediation, which Farmers denied under a Contaminants exclusion. The landlord then filed suit, asserting the loss was covered because it was caused by vandalism. #drugs #insurance #landlord #tenant #Oregon https://natlawreview.com/article/oregon-declares-meth-residue-contaminant-affirms-coverage-denial

@gemswinc sometimes pressing"0" will get you the menu or a live person.

@DavidSalo you could really go down a huge rabbit hole with how you dress and present yourself to society. One example is on which wrist should you wear your watch. For instance, in certain Asian cultures, wearing a watch on the right wrist signifies prosperity and wealth, while the left wrist is associated with personal matters or family connections.
