Reply to Looking for advice. Property taxes may cause a foreclosure on home by Ioradin

There are two types of sherrif sales, one your tax bill will be sold to someone else and then you owe them plus interest or they will force you to sell, or two, the county will force you to sell.

Ignoring the issue wont make this go away and many counties DO offer an 'offer in compromise' if you can prove economic hardship. So you neeeeeed to talk to a tax attorney and have them do the work for you or you WILL loose your home.

Reply to comment by SideburnG in Eli5: On a production line, how do they make a car, plane or anything else be identical from one another without differences? by SideburnG

It all depends on the part and why it was rejected....some simply get rejected and scrapped, where others can be fixed and reintroduced on the line. Each station on the line keeps track of EACH part in the progression and can again reject the part (or assembly) at any given time. It can never be forced through production.

Now that we have global suppliers, each and every part is barcoded so if a part/assembly in Mexico get rejected that is intended for another assembly in the US then production might be halted until the process is fixed. All the lines are managed by a central database and can track quality in real time. This data then is incorporated in the warranty department so if there are a lot of warranty issues coming in once the vehicles are on the road we can literally track WHY it failed and then work to fix those issues. To prove this, you may get a recall on a vehicle and in that notice it will say 'recall for vehicles built during X time'....your recall will fix the problem they already found and fixed/updated in the assembly line

I am in the automation business. The assembly lines are automated to create each item repetitively and within very tight tolerances. Its actually rare that items (here in the US) are 'hand built'. The machines are intelligent enough to reject any part during any process so that the bad parts/assemblies don't make it to market. An assembly line can assemble a V8 engine every 70 seconds with less then 10 people on that line.

Reply to What's the rule of thumb for paying off credit card balance? by [deleted]

Pay as MUCH as you can each month to reduce the high interest rate. If you look at your bill, there will be a section showing how many years (decades!) it will take to pay off your card with the minimum amount and another showing X amount over 3 years. Both will show how much you spent on interest over that period of time.
