One got transferred to a hospital last winter and eventually got into some kind of housing situation.
One tends to hang out at the Walmart.
Others are frequently in and out of one of the two hotels in town. We had three but they tore one down.
My place isn’t paid off but it is cheap enough that I can say what would change and, importantly, what wouldn’t.
My monthly payment is just under $700 a month. About $400 of that is the actual mortgage. The rest is basically property taxes and insurance. I’d save $400 a month but would still have to pay $300. Assuming I didn’t decide to just earn $400 less a month then that $400 would have to go back into the property. I need a new roof. I need a new HVAC (AC died three years ago). A new roof and AC would cost almost a quarter of my original mortgage. So in the end not much would change financially.
An important thing to remember about home ownership is that on average you are going to spend about 1% to 3% or a dollar a square foot on home maintenance each year. I had to replace my septic system months after buying the place, 7.6% of the home price. I had to replace my water heater a few years ago. Fortunately it’s located outside the building so no water damage and I was able to do that replacement myself so instead of spending $1800 for someone else to do it I did it for $450.
Once I have even a little spare money I need to do some roof repairs, not pay someone else to do it.
What he is admitting is that there isn’t enough real material to concern the base so he has to make stuff up.
It definitely plays on both sides but if you make the comment too long it loses its punch
Men will literally buy their teenager an assault rifle after the FBI tells them their kid threatened to shoot up a school rather than go to therapy.
Someone will just invent a different way to do the same thing and they will make all the money. Patents don’t cover the result but the method.
What crimes can I get away with using the same idea?
Let’s get something out of the way. I’m not a liberal. So please stop arguing with the person you want me to be and try having a conversation with me.
If you assume that this poll is representative of the whole election then you are letting your bosses get in the way of reality. Right now it’s a statistical tie but with Harris ahead by 2 points. And on the electorial side Harris leads by 7 and is probably taking Michigan. But neither party is near 270 yet. So you might want to be less absolutist in your predictions.
The pole here states that this poll is an improvement for Harris from the last one they did. So if the trend continues your prediction is wrong.
Any time I see “far left” or “far right” I have to ask qualifying questions to figure out if they are the kind of person that always adds far to it no matter what the situation is.
If the left and the right politicians both agree on something then it tautologically can’t be far anything. Maybe the Overton window moved but it’s still the centrist position.
Dems have been doing pretty good for themselves lately. They’ve dominated every election since Dobbs.
Can you describe the difference between far-right and moderate-right foreign policy in this context? Given that she has made almost zero statements on foreign policy I’m guessing this is about Palestine and Israel?
Or maybe because it’s a useless poll. It’s so niche a group that it won’t play any significant role in the election. This doesn’t look like a post saying Harris is in trouble. It looks like a post saying Stein has a chance. Which they don’t. So it’s getting down voted because it contributes nothing of value.
I live in The South.
My air conditioner broke 3 years ago. This year we got a small window unit. It’s not enough to cool the whole house. But it does provide the very important feature of dehumidifying the house. The temperature in the house and outside can both be in the high 90s. But it is so much less oppressive inside the house where the humidity has been stripped out.
If they’re not tormenting you, they’re not doing their job. That’s their niche. They have one job.
Yes and no. They are much cleaner than ducks and they can be exclusively fed on grass once they are feathered out. This makes them unbelievably awesome in addition to their guard dog ability. In the springtime you get giant goose eggs. Which is a big perk. Since we got our first two geese we have not lost a single chicken or duck to hawks. Which is why we got them. We were losing 1 to 3 a year just to hawks.
The downside is that like all birds they poop everywhere And their poops are more undigested grass than runny stuff. And in the spring when you get those giant eggs the geese can become extremely aggressive. This means separating them from the other birds to prevent injuries and it means learning how to wrestle geese in a safe manner. And it means always being on guard. You will not be safe on your own property.
But for me the benefits far exceed risks. They pay for themselves. They give giant eggs, they stop hawks, they mow the yard, they require no feed.
18 chickens, 7 geese, 6 ducks, 11 cats, 3 fosters, two dogs.
Today I turn on one foster kitten, the rest leave next week. Not sure if they will give me more when I drop off the one today. But if they have something extra spicy I’ll probably get it.
Basically multiple types and the number is fluid. We’ve lost two chickens and two geese this year.
Ducks are the grossest birds. Anything is better than ducks. I have 6 ducks.
I worked in IT for 20 years. I became a handyman and have 7 geese.
Just guessing but the VP is the head of the Senate and casts any tie breaking votes there. Not sure if that happened here but it’s how the VP can get involved with “signing” stuff in the Senate.
