Best of luck man. Many of us have been there. Just a random thought, maybe consider starting a small business that doesn't require much up front investment. It's easier said than done of course, but certainly within the capability of a smart hard working person.

I'm a stomach sleeper that probably does a few dozen 360s on 5 or 6 hours of sleep each night . When I have access to it, I take about 20 mg of sativa edibles and hour or two before bed and get 8 to 9 hours of deep sleep a night without all the movement.

I travel abroad a lot and Nord works well for me, mostly. I still get blocked sometimes by Prime and other streaming services. I don't know if that's true of other VPNs as well.

That's true.

Fucking hell. I'm sorry to hear that. We'd probably just end up selling if it came to that. I can't imagine our tenants accepting that pass through expense, and I wouldn't blame them.

.1 BAC is not very much, even after an hour or two. Hell, that would nearly be legal in Texas 25 or so years ago.

We have a few commercial buildings in San Antonio with a mix of office/retail/medical tenants. Premiums have quadrupled in the last few years, apparently due to climate events around the nation. We set our deductibles at 5% of replacement cost value and agreed to forego roof coverage this year just to afford the 400% premium increases. This effectively renders the coverage useless short of a catastrophic event like a fire or earthquake as the deductible is near a half million on one building and several hundred thousand on the others. The buildings are old school 1940s concrete block buildings (slab, walls, and roof) that are fully sprinklered, fire walled, outside of flood zones, etc..., so the risk of catastrophic events is infinitesimally small as far as I can surmise. The largest concern is liability from an injury, which is a fairly small portion of the premium cost. Our tenants are required to carry liability coverage on top of our building wide liability coverage, so even that exposure is minimal. We're a small mom and pop self-managing commercial property operation, so dealing with these changes in the property insurance industry has created real challenges for us and our tenants who pay for these increases as a triple net expense. Not to mention for customers who face higher service/product costs as a result. We only carry the property coverage portion at all because our lenders understandably require it. Anyhow, I'm curious if anyone else in the commercial property world is dealing with this and how.

You can share it. My brother and I who run our family business use it so we can share access to various online banking and business accounts. As someone downthread mentioned, you can also just share a login which might be simpler if you're starting from scratch. My brother and I had separate accounts that we had to merge which I recall wasn't the most intuitive process. So just sharing a login might be the easiest approach. That assumes of course you don't mind her having full access to any account you add to Bitwarden and vice versa.

I use the paid $10 a year Bitwarden and it works across computer, phone, and other devices. Pretty intuitive and easy to use imo. I don't recall all the benefits of the paid version but I think it monitors your info for fraud and what not.

My dad used to take me out of school for the occasional business trip out of town. I would wander whatever city alone while he was in a meeting and see the sights. In hindsight it was invaluable for developing self-reliance and independence that can't really be taught in school.

This may be addressed further down thread, ignore if so. But are these kids that are missing 10 weeks or whatever still turning in assignments and taking/passing tests?

I did a four day Safari in January to https://www.parsonshilltop.com/ in South Africa, about 10 to 15 miles from the place conVinced stayed. I found and booked it on booking.com. I thought it was an amazing experience. This particular camp only has four tents and one Landcruiser safari vehicle and it's in a reserve with fewer nearby camps, so none of the 20 vehicles parked around a lion nonsense. We saw every animal (most many times) minus the leopard or cheetah (I forget which one is in KNP). It was about $400 a night for two people including safari rides, meals, and drinks from their self-serve bar. The camp offered a 5 a.m. morning ride and 5 p.m. evening ride around the reserve with each lasting about 3 hours depending on if we were getting lucky. My buddy and I did both morning/evening rides while other guests did just one. We flew into Capetown and stayed a week and then flew two hours to Krueger National Park. Capetown is an amazing beautiful city. If you decide on a Safari in South Africa, I'd highly recommend spending time in Capetown. We stayed in the Gardens neighborhood which turned out to be my favorite neighborhood in the city. I will say that self-booking the flights to CT and KNP as well as the Safari was easy and straightforward. You can use an agent or service for the convenience of course. But for South Africa at least, I don't think it's necessary or even necessarily easier. The Safari camps send a vehicle to the airport to gather you, so once you book your flights and a Safari camp, everything else is typically taken care of by the Safari camp. We did three days in Johannesburg after KNP for the cultural sites (Cradle of Humankind, Soweto township tour, Mandela museum). It was an interesting city to visit for a couple days, but unless one just has a lot of time to kill, I'd suggest skipping it.

You'll love it. I rented an AirBnB in Montmartre in November and really enjoyed hanging out in the neighborhood.

Totally. Was in CT in January and loved it. Food was excellent and the natural beauty spectacular. But there is a sort of constant low level anxiety people have about crime that's unfortunate. BA may be in a similar position, if not already, with their rising poverty.

It's a great place to rent and live. I may do the same eventually. But their rule of law is squishy at best and purchasing seems like a huge unnecessary risk. Plus moving to different neighborhoods every 3 to 6 months seems like it would be fun if you're renting furnished apartments.

If you enjoy military history, I'm a big fan of the military history museum at Fort DeRussy Military Reservation on the edge of Waikiki. Another often-overlooked site is the Hawaiian Plantation Village which has restored and replica plantation buildings and housing from the sugar era that I found interesting. There's a small but well-done museum inside that tells the history of the sugar industry and the larger story of Hawaii and the many cultures that immigrated here in the 19th century. A great stop for history buffs.

That pace.

Seems like this would help Biden. It exposes this guy as clearly a political hack in Trump's bag.

I was going to say this exactly. Imo, those at the top of the pyramid benefit more from a larger middle class that has more money to spend on the products and services offered by the top of the pyramid. A tax cut may be of short term benefit to the wealthy. But if it increases the economic divide, they're ultimately diminishing their bottom line long term.

Powerful Psychedelic Gains Renewed Attention as a Treatment for Opioid Addiction https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/health/ibogaine-psychedelic-opioid-addiction.html?unlocked_article_code=1.bE0.qwgS.GH5zBfmeed-4&smid=nytcore-android-share Posting this on my phone so hopefully it opens. Interesting article about ibogaine for treating addiction.

Sure. Ultimately there's nothing to stop the guy from suing if he's so inclined and can find an attorney willing to take the case. Seems like it would be disposed of pretty quickly with a motion for summary judgment.

Naturally.
