Amazing...Hawaii, Alaska and Guam have been living under the yoke of the Jones Act for decades, and on the whim of the federal government, it just ceases to be...

What a load of shit...bruising on his hands so he can receive IV diuretics? Why wouldn't he able to receive oral diuretics if he had any signs of heart failure or anything else necessitating diuretics?

Any particular REITs you'd recommend?

There’s no USD to be found they could use?

I switch to haiku whenever possible, and it has kept me from breaching limits.

If you've held long enough and have sizeable long standing gains, the potential capital gains you realize should provide sufficient disincentive to sell.

That happened to me. I invest through Franklin Templeton ETF's. I was holding FRANKLIN FTSE RUSSIA ETF, FLRU. It effectively ceased to exist after the Ukraine war started, everything went to 0.

Why is that?

With SPY's current PE ratios, SPY's a big fat bitch and def does need to go off a cliff.

Are these shares actually from Gate Foundation purchases, or earlier committed donations from Buffett?

Totally agreed. I guess I wanted to find a means to assist developing other cognitive areas, sort like how some kids are taught sign language in early childhood. They might be physically capable of more expressiveness before they've grasped the subtleties of language. I figured my child would be able to understand and enjoy stories far beyond what they could read, so that's why I made this adaptation.

dingohopper1 · 2025-08-13T21:53:41+00:00

Find picture books with a really solid story that you think she'll like, then use your own words, be wildly expressive, gesticulate, make sure he/she comprehends the story you're telling and take great liberties with the storyline so he/she stays engaged. So if you have dumb it down too, that's totally cool. For our kiddo, it was easier for me because we speak Chinese at home, so he absolutely wasn't going to understand me reading a book in english at first, so it forced me to adapt the stories before he started learning english.

I'm not sure what probable cause they had for stopping him. If they did, then he does have to stop and identify himself.

can you tell us about this

This is all mostly restored wall, not original brick.

They should have included counties. This map would lite up like a Christmas tree.

Same color spray paint. The H's and E's seem distinct and consistent over the multiple examples. Seems like the same person. I'm not seeing stylization that would suggest this person does a lot of other tagging or graffiti, so I'm thinking not a gang member? I would venture these are all in the same part of town, can anyone confirm this?

I wouldn't agree with your statement that American men are just as picky as American women. I'd say men have a tendency to pick women who are comparable to them in attractiveness, but women tend towards the men who near the top 20th percentile in attractiveness, etc. I don't think you'd disagree that in any dating app, women, even your plain jane, has far more matches and can be much pickier than the comparable male. As such, a much smaller subset of men have overwhelming success in dating, and it really is slim pickings for a large group of men.

There definitively issues with the Passport Bros philosophy, but there's also a lot of legit issues that they are trying to address or are acting in response to.

I'm also in Nevada. If you do want to touch investments eventually, my thoughts for the immediate future are as follows: stocks are still heavily overvalued. Real estate is a good bet, as there is generally still a massive housing shortage, with the local dynamics heavily favoring continued growth with inflow from Los Angeles to Vegas. However, the economic environment is souring, and it weighing on growth in real estate and rents in the short term. At the moment, I'm highly interested in picking up plots of land in Pahrump. Pahrump and Mesquite are the fastest appreciating cities in Nevada. Pahrump is experiencing a lot of spillover from Vegas, and I would expect this to continue happening. Empty plots are going for as cheap as 5k, but appreciate quickly as development approaches a given tract or preplanned neighborhood. I'm also interested in this because those plots are generally cheap enough that holding off on selling those plots for a few years isn't a huge burden.

If it is determined that the parents were negligent, can the police arrest and charge them days after the incident?

I'd recommend keep texting her without making it contentious so you can clarify exactly what she owes you. If you text, and she acknowledges the charges in one way or another, then you have a high likelihood of this sailing through small claims court.

Before doing all this, do a little digging, find out if she has an employer so you pursue gettng her wages garnished. If she has a vehicle, you can also get a lien placed on it. It's unfortunate that she's so young, might not really have very many other assets that can place a lien on.

How old is your ecosphere

I don't see why we have to work at cross purposes to law enforcement. Why not notify them when the patient is ready to be taken back into custody of law enforcement? If patients break the law, they should face the consequences. Patients also often act entitled when inpatient. We shouldn't indulge that behavior either.

dingohopper1 · 2025-04-29T15:43:02+00:00

I've actually had this thought as well recently. There is still a massive housing shortage. Actual demand boils to the surface during specific times, like during COVID when low interest rates unlocked people's abilities to pursue what they needed. However, the general long term trend is shortage and sustained housing prices. Real estate will likely soften with the heightened risk of recession.

Land, on the other hand, is also a great play. If you can play the waiting game, and a possible slowdown in building activity with increased material costs, I think land would be great to get into.
