There's an article online about a guy who did this for dozens of properties in Detroit. It didn't work out so well because rent is more like $400 a month. The typical fix cost on a $5K property is $20K because of tax payments in a

Yes, $90 is more than I usually pay in Vegas for a quite nice place.

Good points. If the OP could navigate the nightmare and still make a good profit margin, I'd say it's worth it. Perhaps a risk is black market weed selling for less enough than legal weed that a legal profit can't be made.

Suggest he take a walk with you. If he does, keep it up. If he won't even take a walk with you it's probably hopeless, sorry to say. I went through such with my father.

Can't you already use Ensure, the stuff people drink after they have stomach surgery and the like? I thought people could survive indefinitely on that.

But keep in mind they are using it, since the insurance reduces the risk they'll be saddled with high medical bills (or more likely that they'll saddle others with those bills). They are healthier, but can still have an accident

I'd risk a debit card on this technology only if there was a small amount in the account and no overdraft capability.

True, although I can rarely hear cars while in my backyard. Hundreds of drones flying overhead may not be so quiet.

It only a matter of time before you won't be able to have a conversation on a patio or deck. Enjoy your BBQs while they last.

Yes, it has quirks! Yet I'll choose Excel over Word when I have a choice (e.g. lists, things in tables). Word is generally frustrating. Excel is generally a good experience.

The users of the servers need never be burnt by the cutesy names and can remember them easier. So it seems not so clear cut what's better all things considered, especially as the ratio of users to operations folk increases.

The hostnames I develop with are like "imdopsjpl741", difficult to remember. I prefer names like "rover" and "elephant" but can understand how that could be worse for the server farm ops people.

My Yahoo account that is just for personal use and trusted vendors gets ~0 spam. Another Yahoo account for the remainder gets lots of spam. Part of the difference may be that I religiously use the Spam button for the first account.

It seems you have copyright infringement liability as well, when the guest pirates a movie using your equipment. Or worse problems, when the guest makes threats using your equipment.

If the target of a murder plot or confession is fictional, I think there's no crime, whether or not told to a cop; it's protected under free speech. Let's see if the investigators can find real people to link to his words.

Absent hard evidence there's no significant difference between Ulbricht and a murder mystery author, in that regard. We'd at least have to know that the people he discussed with and about were real. It's just words in a datab

Good point. If he's acquitted he'll have a good case of slander.

You could make the same point about murderers, though. If we ignore them we save tax money spent today on investigations, trials, and imprisonment. The solution should do more good than harm. In the case of victimless crimes like for most m

What if the more easily procured drugs create more addicts, reducing tax revenue so that the net tax benefit is negative? Then you've got less money to help more addicts.

Bingo. Likely many more cities and counties will go bankrupt. Mid-level employees across the land have been promised a retirement payout the equivalent of $1M+. It would take $1M+ to buy the annuity that would cover their pension.

When using Trip Advisor I skip over reviews where the reviewer has only 1 review. I assume they are written by competitors. A hotel could have many pages of favorable reviews, yet the reviewer with only 1 review under his/her belt will
