don't paint over mold. It's dangerous stuff, get mold removal products or a specialist in; better yet, make the landlord pay for it (which he should, because if his property becomes uninhabitable by mold he's screwed).

Cash is eroded away by inflation. If your currency hits high inflation for years continuously, like we had in Iceland (yes, I'm from there), going up to 25%, your cash isn't worth shit in 5 years time. I've experienced that.

What was the captain supposed to do; be so skeptical that he sent divers to the bottom of the ocean to check for possible coral reefs? you are unfairly pacing the burden and blame on the captain here.

by valdiorn 11y ago
Do you think every captain has an onboard and up to date map of all the coral reefs in the area? cause I don't think they have those. In fact, I think what a responsible captain should do is to ask the harbor master where the safest pl

They are not idiots. If you pay half your annual income, you SHOULD expect to get some damn good service for your money. Schools should be free, but seeing how they're not, I see nothing wrong with students demanding their money's

FYI you can buy stocks in "tracker funds" for lots and lots of countries in the world, which in return invest in a weighted basket of the largest companies in that country. Investing in an S&P500 tracking ETF is about as close

That actually looks really well made for a Chinese clone. I know the no-SMD and no-switches-on-the-board zealots won't agree, but the design is clean and solid. I was expecting a rats nest. Also, I used these sources for my work on a d
