r/florida

Hello I am hoping to catch a Glimpse of some dolphins and manatees I was wondering if there are some known spots that dolphins seem to frequent? I’ve heard on here before that they show up at certain places maybe? and also I am wondering where I might see a manatee as well!

I'm a bit confused by this news! VERY IMPORTANT!! "Vote-by-mail ballots must be at a supervisor of elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day."

Snippet:

• Florida voters won't be affected by Monday's Supreme Court ruling on mail-in ballots. The court ruled 5-4 to uphold Mississippi's law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked and received within five days of Election Day.
• Florida law only allows late ballots from voters who are overseas, and only if they are returned by mail, explained Paul Lux, supervisor of elections for Okaloosa County.
• "To be perfectly candid, in Florida, our laws have been very clear," said Paul Lux. "They are given an extra 10 days only in presidential preference primaries and general elections."
• Nothing will change in Florida as a result of the ruling, Lux said. Vote-by-mail ballots must be at a supervisor of elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Water shot up nose with water nose

We’ve been having these hot summer days here with the heat wave and I’ve always had health anxiety but one particular thing always terrified me brain eating amoeba…

So I decided to water my plants at night just now and when I put the hose down after spraying my rear bricks with jet it threw water up my nose I’m panicking because my childhood and adulthood fear just came back full force I’m terrified I’m gonna get the brain eating amoeba especially since my water hose was on during the high heat today and I can’t even sleep right now or breath right out of fear.

I heard a woman got it with her neti pot and yes I have treated city water but still if someone got it with a neti pot with treated tap water now I’m freaking out a garden hose that was out in the heat all day shot right up to my nose.

I'm in the process of renewing my apartment lease, and the renewal includes the option to either accept or decline a lease termination remedy under Florida Statute 83.595. My understanding is that if I accept, then I would need to pay a flat fee equal to two months' rent to break my lease later.

I'm not planning to break my lease, but I didn't notice this option when I signed my lease last year. So I want to better understand this time the advantages or disadvantages to accepting the statutory termination fee. From what I've read, if I decline, the landlord would instead have to pursue the remedies otherwise available under the statue. For reference, the other remedies available to landlords are (from Google):

• Terminate the Agreement: The landlord takes the property back for their own account. This terminates the lease and relieves the tenant of any further liability for future rent. 
• Retake for the Tenant's Account: The landlord takes possession of the unit but acts to re-let it on the tenant's behalf. The tenant remains responsible for the difference between the agreed-upon rent and what the landlord is able to recover from a new renter. The landlord must act in good faith to find a new tenant. 
• Do Nothing: The landlord takes no action to re-let the property and allows the rent to accrue. The landlord can then sue the tenant for rent as it becomes due. (Note: If the landlord chooses this option, they cannot re-let the unit or occupy it themselves).

Has anyone here chosen not to accept the two-month termination fee? If so, did it end up benefiting you in any way?

Thanks for any input!
