I’m not sure how it’s so hard for people replying to you, to understand, cameras are a deterrent. Crime is often opportunistic. I grew up in 80s Miami, the common tactic was knock on your front door to see if anyone’s home, when no one answ

Simtower, which he modeled this after, only allowed lobby on the first floor… or a multi floored lobby.

Do you need flock to do this for you, though? I have cameras around my property, and they catch everyone entering and leaving my subdivision. If the police need access to the recordings, they can get a court order or ask nicely. What I don&

Sounds like your friend did something wrong with his investments. I had rentals before 2008, and bought more during the crash in South Florida for pennies on the dollar. It was a great time to buy.

If I had to guess… The same thing happening to a lot of the industry… the era of cheap money is over.

Having family in Cuba, I guess this could work, but it doesn’t scale, because someone will inevitably steal your horses for dinner, when you aren’t looking.

Technically the US did blockade Cuba from receiving oil, specifically from Venezuela. Blocking tankers, boarding them, and even confiscating them. The embargo continues, as it has for decades, but the oil blockade is a real thing.

Fair. The spelling is off, but the pronunciation is the same.

It also translates to “small booger”, in Spanish, which always made me question who thought the name was a good idea over there.

You can turn off crossplay in the Xbox privacy settings. I do this for BF6, as I’m old and can’t keep up with MnK players. ;-)

Bus driver in SF or near a tech hub, so I can listen to mindless grifting and endless complaining by tech workers that would re-enforce the life decision I made.

Those people still need to rent. So as long as the rental income covers the mortgage, you’re ahead of the game and someone is paying an asset down for you.

Activision CoD uses EOMM, engagement optimized match making. They’re optimizing for your to stay on, much like a gambler playing slots. You allow one win where the player is matched with lesser opponents, and then the next X games, you’re t

You have to wonder what it is with companies having “monster” in their names that makes them such monsters. This story reminded me of the multi-year battle by Monster energy going after MonsterFishKeepers.com https://reefbuilders

3. Affiliate programs with online retailers? After looking at doing something similar, that was the only monetization angle I could find.

I find this interesting… I grew up in a Latin family and learned to shower at night. I rationalized it as, not going to bed dirty, and you aren’t going to get dirtier just sleeping anyway.

Because the only winning move it not to play. This is Europe's war. Not sure why the US is involved at all. It's not like Ukraine has oil or a NATO partner.

Would you have felt that way when people were boycotting buses in the Jim Crow south?

I can say after years of negotiating with enterprise software vendors, the reason I feel prices are being hiked, is that they finally have to show revenue growth to Wall Street. I don’t believe they’re inflating prices “just because”. I’m s

To the parent’s point, VW was saying for recent years they were going fully electric. This EU bill doesn’t harm them. In fact, it likely helps them against slower-moving competitors.

Most states and counties I’ve lived in in the southeast US either exempt or minimize property taxes on residents that are over 65. In fact, my current area (Cobb county, GA) nimbys keep trying to block assisted living residences. The argume

Using a fast pass is a must at Disney. Little to no wait at every ride. Additionally staying at a Disney resort let’s you stay an hour after everyone else and then even without the fast pass you cruise thru every line.

Sort of... The federal government passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act[1], showing they did care. Although they don't directly enforce drinking age mins, the carrot and the stick approach was used. 1: https://en.wiki
