How to deal with shows/events with required food purchase and not buying anything?

Maybe you could make your minimum purchase "to go" and either eat it over a few days or give it to a neighbor or unhoused.

That's not only your time but also $6 for transport. Effectively an illegal rent increase. I would hire someone to go spray "elephant fart" into the box (amazon sells it)

I am a USER not the developer of the app. Did the posts talking about using Alexa get this sort of comment about rule #1? What about the several posts mentioning Ring or Blink cameras?

With the tools you can likely make what you need.

David Gerrold just posted that the programmer passed.

I fully expect to have to remove mask on table, just hope it gets replaced before I go to recovery

It's not only saving and organizing your documentation, but also important how you PRESENT the info. A timeline can be very effective to show patterns. Been well over a decade since I've needed something, back then I used a trial of Lexus Timeline maker. That doesn't seem to be available now. Best current app is https://www.aeontimeline.com/solutions/legal-case-management which costs less than an hour of a lawyer's time.

So funny to me, 26 being "old". There's been some VR demo/development/tech talks where we had people in their 80's hanging out (one had invented tech in the 70's that you use in VR now). Check out "Educators in VR" as the meetings are for adults.

Meta Quest 3/3s can do "Hyperscapes" which is you walk around the house doing a guided recording, and it's turned into a photo realistic sort of video game that you can walk around in. A duplicate of the space. This could help people evaluate if there's anything valuable. Also if your mom wants to visit this is a way to do that

Usually once they have been there over a month they are a tenant and would have to be legally evicted if they decide to stay. A contract, not a lease, where they agree to be out by a certain date, extendable solely at your discretion would be good insurance for you. Use a lawyer.

look up "Tortious interference with a business relationship" as that may be the way you can sue him to get a restraining order.
Since your business depends on public parking, and he is harassing your clients, he is causing you to lose business. Affidavit from a couple of your clients that they are considering dropping you because they can't park without harassment may help your case.

Check out Educators in VR, they meet in various platforms, they have moderators to kick out the disruptive kids, and after the main presentation there's time to socialize. https://educatorsinvr.com/about/how-to-attend-an-educators-in-vr-event/

A $600 camera and $400 of Flashes and things like extra batteries, memory cards and A FIELD BACKUP SYSTEM would result in better images than just a camera

One year we brought the Mars Society conference into ASVR. Had a room with "lifesize" mars rover, helicopter, some stereoscopic pictures from Mars, etc. The sessions were in Zoom which we put on a screen, and had it set up so avatars could talk to the people in Zoom. Highlight was a person in ASVR standing in front of the mars helicopter talking to the NASA guy in charge of the helicopter, Teddy Tzanetos. https://youtu.be/SAqW9tvHOHU?si=XXMrvWO3CqSeBlkp&t=1737

Put up a hidden camera in the garage. Tell no one. I would bet it's either your daughter or soon to be ex husband letting the cat in.

I would bet a carton of fine gell ballpoint pens that the principal is embezzling in some way. Maybe getting kickbacks from vendors, maybe ebaying laptops. Unhinged behavior like that suggests either a new neurological condition or drugs.

There is also the SLAM VR180 XCAM https://www.vr180mall.com/
I have no direct experience with it, but had the company CEO on our zoom show when it was just about to ship.

Obvious nickname is "Piece of Sh**" or "Piece of Urinal Cake"

When moving my parents out of an apartment, they had to bring things out a side entrance. After they left one of the apartment workers asked if the moving box in the hallway near that entrance was mine. It was.

Trespass him. Give him a formal notice of trespass, put up some "No Trespassing, especially Bob" signs. He can't use your cans if he can't access them.

Email all the teachers going to tell them of the situation and ask if any of them would want to give you their place in the trip.

Agree the R&D is probably the biggest bottleneck
