Recorded deed will more or less universally contain a legal description of the land. This does, in fact, defined the illegal outline of the parcel.

A survey is little more than marching out into the field and putting at the location where you believe the boundaries to be based on your review of the legal description.

Of course that’s not the end of the discussion as to boundaries for reasons like adverse possession or busted titles but on his own a surveyor is going to tell you basically nothing.

Generally, those markers are placed by the person who did the previous survey. They’re not really official designations of anything. However, if you look around, you will find things called survey monuments. Sometimes they’re embedded in the sidewalk, or the middle of the road. Out in the boonies sometimes there’s a little concrete pedestal that has the marker on it. Anytime you look at a recorded deed you will see a legal description of the land and generally that description will start from one of those monuments.

I have never seen any system (planes or elsewhere) that splits multiple voice communication inputs so you hear different streams in different ears.

PS Engineering PMA450B is one, but most GA aircraft I’ve flown work like this.

How would that be different

It would be different based on the fact you’d hear one conversation in your left ear, and another in your right ear.

(let alone better)

Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

It's not like your brain can process each ear separately.

Different brains function differently.

Software providers generally lack a duty to their clients to create and sell secure software. Further, generally, when you get hacked, there is only an interrupted causal chain between the software and your loss. Interrupting that chain is the intervening superseding cause of a criminal third-party. Finally, no states allow punitive damages, absent gross negligence in a software context.

Fable 5 is Back 20 days ago

Your post is like a denim jacket.

(Seems like maybe that’s not the point of an analogy).

People believing they are entitled to dictate what other people do with their property

Yes, I believe that’s called “society” and while we are all very disappointed about your personal liberties I’m afraid some compromises had to be made to allow people other than you to have property rights too.

That’s why it’s important to have a deadline, but it’s a pretty poor answer to my question. ducking this question is an indication your point - bolstered by an ad hominem attack and an appeal to authority - is meaningless.

The requirement for ballots to merely be postmarked by election day is insane. If my credit card bill is due on June 5, it's due on the 5th, not postmarked

What do you reckon your credit card bill (private obligation, governed by contract law) has to do with your ballot (civil right, governed by constitution)? I have to return my rental car on a certain day and my milk expires on a certain day, but I wouldn’t think to compare either to a mail-in ballot.

That would be “insane,” to use your preferred terminology.

If there are thirty companies, and each owns a piece of land, one entity/one vote is pretty clearly observed.

If those thirty companies reconfigure their holdings so they each own one thirtieth of each of thirty parcels, under your model all of a sudden each company has thirty votes.

I believe if you tried to exploit the ambiguity in the law in a way that mattered enough for anyone to care, you would catch a lawsuit predicated on the idea that the one entity/one vote concept was violated by this trick. I think a court would approve of the idea.

I still agree with you that this law is poor, I just don’t think this exploit flies in court. But no one knows until they try.

I apologize for being dismissive. You have read this a little more closely than I have.

Do you think Section 9A(3), which more or less says these rules would be construed under one person/entity, one vote would break your plan? I believe if you tried to have thirty voters tied to one parcel of land by joint tenancy, that would be how the court stops you. The plaintiff here is arguing vote dilution, but vote dilution gets multiplied by an arbitrary factor in your model.

This idea is equally wrong for different reasons, but I do have a measure of appreciation for you having abandoned your first intrinsically broken idea upon the first resistance you encountered. Fail fast!

Why would thirty companies that owned a company together get one vote each instead of one thirtieth? The thirty companies would each have one vote in determining how to vote the one parent's vote.

(You are, however, correct to note that you can record absolute gibberish if you want to, so long as you pay the recorder. This does not effectuate a transfer of land, though; it merely serves as constructive notice to the person who is bound to look for such recorded notice, i.e., the beneficial purchaser for value. In a way, you could think of the function of a recorder as preventer of race conditions, not the database).

The original 1990's assertion that "information wants to be free" and all that related nonsense never really passed the laugh test.

It didn’t even pass the end of the paragraph where the quote originated.
