Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) aren’t just helping police investigate crimes anymore. They’re now being used to flag drivers for supposedly “suspicious” driving patterns.

I got so tired of the quarters problem (bank online so I get ATM fees then have to go to a laundromat to pretend I’m doing laundry there) that I bought a whole-ass washing machine for $180 to avoid the problem.

I’m actually saving a ton of money and because my landlord is checked out and lives far from here he’ll never know we have a portable washer in our apartment.

Why would your landlord have a problem with a portable washer in your apartment? Is there language written into your lease prohibiting it?

Apparently many leases do, but mine doesn’t. I’m sure it’s a liability thing especially with flooding or water damage.
