ParticipantSee, I’d want there not to be a record — having another landlord end up with a ticking time bomb is an amusing thought.
ParticipantFlyerInHI:
(1) Why should you help other landlords? They’re the competition.
(2) Wouldn’t an eviction proceeding where the tenant is no longer there be laughed out of court?ParticipantEconomies should be based on stability, not on perpetual growth and runaway consumption. Growth is an old word for tumor. Consumption is an old word for TB. A step in the right direction, if anything…
However, he’s whining about taxes and “high-speed rail crosscrossing rural areas.” I suspect the real problem is more like “immigration declines under Trump.”
ParticipantWhoopssss! Looks like our tariffs on Chinese goods are staying till at least November…
Dow +11, Nasdaq -24.
ParticipantTotal people on unemployment hit a 1.5 year high in December: people who want to be working … aren’t.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/09/weekly-jobless-claims.html2019 growth is below 2%, despite Trump’s promises of 3-4%.
Trucking and transportation indices dropping at the end of 2019.
Oh, this will be FUN. The higher they go, the harder they fall.
ParticipantFiH: you’ve already proven yourself a coward as far as crime, what’s new?
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Security cameras that upload to the cloud use a lot of data.[/quote]
Suckurity cameras that upload to the cloud destroy privacy. If you use them in your home, you’re a fucking fool. If you aim them towards public property or a neighbor’s property, you’re a scoundrel that enables Amazon’s or Google’s surveillance networks.
ParticipantDoesn’t conventional satellite have bad latency issues?
ParticipantYou can also get Cocks Essential for $40/mo.
ParticipantVerizon FiOS and Spectrum can both provide Internet only for under $50 per month … and fiber/coax is still better than airy-fairy wireless junque. The trial rates eventually expire, but you can churn the account between different household members or roommates, or switch providers once every 1-2 years if you have two available.
Participant$150k cash? Buy a condo for 2/3 downpayment in the mid-200k range. Escondido or somewhere. e.g….
With over 50% down, you should have little issue getting a loan for the rest since they’re now lending based on rental income potential.
ParticipantMustang Mach-E being electric is nice. On the other hand, it’s another jellylike blob of a CUV, not a car — this counts against it.
ParticipantFeynmann has been dead for 30-some years … kind of hard to ask him for clarification. Also, physics have evolved since his death. His lectures are awesome, but not the be-all and end-all of physics education in 2019-20.
ParticipantYeah, yeah, online classes. They don’t get you into a good law school, don’t get you into a medical school, don’t get you into Ph. D. programs, what’s the point? They don’t get you in-person networking or research opportunities either. Also, why bother, considering graded online classes are similarly priced to a state/community school in a state that gives a shit about public education, not football.
We’re designed to communicate and network in person, not sit isolated, staring at a stinking screen. Do we really want to create a world of even more isolated, depressed, socially inept, frustrated techbros? Why do you think that suicide and opiate abuse rates are going bananas recently?
Like it or not, part of college is the experience of living on your own for the first time, meeting other people, partying, talking to professors in person, helping other students, schtupping like rabid rabbits…
It’s not a question of indoctrination (no matter how much anti-intellectuals like to think it is) as much as a matter of socialization.
