Birders can be weird. Some can get very competitive, not surprised some would make fake images to pretend they saw some rare bird in an area they aren’t normally seem or something.

I agree with everything except the loan interest increases.

Maybe they shouldn’t have a mortgage on a property they are renting if that’s going to cause them issues. Just sell it

People who think America has better healthcare are either wealthy, or don’t have any health issues they deal with regularly.

I would say that they should just get taxed at what ever the price is on December 31 or January 01.

If you lose money you can claim it as a loss just as you would when you sell for a loss, up to a certain limit.

Upper management isn’t only about the work.

Yeah you can do the work, but also probably the person in the office can also do the work.

If the person in the office is the one interacting with the upper management more and the work is being done equally well between them and some unknown person that works remotely why would they hire the person you do not know?

The management position / next level probably entails more people skills and dealing with people so someone you have hardly ever spoken to might not have those skills but the person in the office they know can at least deal with people well.

That is literally the entire point of shares. You buy a percentage of the company and give them money so they can use that money to expand and develop.

Why would I give a company money if I don’t get a percentage of that company? It’s not a fuckin donation.

Yeah, it’s technically true lol

If your parents were infertile than you wouldn’t exist so you wouldn’t have kids either.

Nothing in that sentence implies that you not being able to have kids means your parents couldn’t have kids.

Burning forests is good forest management. Let it burn and make room for new growth, it’s a natural cycle. Putting out fires immediately is what leads to massive amount of dead wood building up and then creating infernos that can’t be stopped before they reach important infrastructure.

Let it burn every 50-60 years and stop it before the infrastructure and you will have a much healthier forest.

“give”

The guy is a (former) trillionaire.

Fucking make him pay for it at least God damn.

Honestly if AI data centres are the reason your electric grid gets upgraded it’s probably worth it. AI bubble will pop and data centres will get closed down but your grid will still be upgraded.

I was going to skip 5 and get a 6 when it finally came out but I guess 4 will be my last playstation

If it’s something like bacon grease you can just wait for it to congeal and then scooped it into trash and wipe with a paper towel.

It’s sort of the risk you take when buying a property with an easement though. Their realtor should have disclosed that.

If it wasn’t there when they bought it the utility company should have had to at least pay market value for the land.

“chosen” as replacement? Who the fuck chose? It definitely wasn’t the American public.

Even if this were actually going to happen, what is he doing? Renting out the US Navy for profit?

Sure maybe a few servicemen may die but at least America will get some money!

If it weren’t for the world cup most Americans would probably not even know Qatar was a country

I recently tried to plan a night out in “the city” and was looking for a hotel since I would like to have a few drinks. I can’t believe how stupid prices are.

A shitty motel is like $400 a night, so you would have to hire a cab already to drive you to a cheaper hotel like 15-20 minutes away.

Nicer hotels are going like $600-$800 a night.

How on earth does anyone afford a vacation for prices like that?

It doesn’t violate constitutional rights as long as whatever the camera can detect/see would be the same as a police officer. If it has a license plate reader and face detection or whatever it’s unconstitutional because an officer probably wouldn’t have been able to issue a ticket if it were a person there instead of a camera. If it’s something like an obviously missing seatbelt or phone use seen through the window at a reasonable angle it’s constitutional.

I don’t understand the “face an accuser in court” argument. It’s a photo. You argue about the photo with the judge. The photo is your accuser.

It’s almost like 70 year olds shouldn’t be elected state representatives since they can drop dead any moment.

No all three accepted offer, signed employment letter, went through a certification test that’s required for the work and cost the company $100. Then 2-3 weeks before the start date they say they got a better job.

We hire early to make sure certification can get done, which is why there’s a lag before start date. It’s an outdoor seasonal summer job usually university students.
