I should clarify that when I say "common practice" I'm applying my perspective from my area of the commercial insurance world. Unlike automobile or workers compensation claims, claims in the...

Travelers don't need bottled water. At least not in the US. It's been illegal to sell bottled water at SFO airport for years now. Everyone brings a reusable bottle and fills it up at a bottle...

It's unlikely that homeless people are going to start camping on the hill behind our house. They already have places to camp. People with RV's camp on the road leading to the general aviation...

And if none of those options is available to the person it’s ok if the city makes it illegal for them to sleep?

While I don't advocate for people to kill others I actually like the idea of composting deceased humans. My parents both chose not to be embalmed, preferring to be buried in basic unsealed wooden...

Interesting. I wonder if they're getting their money's worth from the investments. At least Saudi Arabia waited until after Trump's son in law left power before they gave him his $2B gift. That...

No kidding. That reminds me of this story.

So where exactly should the homeless of Grants Pass sleep?

I agree. However one of those ways of dealing with it should not be to simply criminalize existence and then shrug one's shoulders.

Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are kind of bedrock principals here. Maybe I missed the part about ‘life liberty and the pursuit of happiness as long as one can afford a roof over their...

Are there not already laws on the books criminalizing the problems that sometimes happen when homeless people exist in parks or other public places? It seems like it would make more sense to enforce...

We actually have a lot of freezer space so I may get a couple more bags while I'm out tomorrow. This is an insanely good price. And we both love shrimp.

Indeed. One of the issues we ran into with the rental EV was chargers that were inaccessible outside of certain hours. We ended up going to two that weren’t accessible before finding one at a...

My sister bought a bolt EUV and loves it. After the various rebates/tax credits it was only $18k and since they have a garage and aren’t roadtrip kind of people it’s perfect for her. I plan to keep...

For a lot of people EV’s make sense. Especially as a second car that rarely, if ever, goes far from home. I probably wouldn’t buy a Tesla because I’m really not a fan of the iPad thing as the main...

Went to Safeway today and they had the 2 lb bags of frozen jumbo shrimp on sale. $8. Down from the normal $20! I got two. When I mentioned it to SO after I got home he was like ‘I got two also.’ I...

I saw that the other day. As powerful as those things are that would be truly scary.

Saw another one today. I guess there are going to be as common here as the Tesla cars are. Anytime I’m stopped...

I just saw my third one out in the wild. I just don’t get it. To me they look like something a third grader would design. I must not be the target audience. Anyone here have a different opinion.

Do you have details about this? Is it more money than they poured into president Emoluments Trump’s pocket during his presidency?

I’m Chicago itself. He bought when he was mid 30’s he was there for work which involves a fair amount of ‘entertaining’ insurance brokers which means taking them out for drinks or dinner so being in...

And for what it’s worth I know that you wouldn’t like Dallas weather and I have no idea about diving there but boss likes Dallas way more than he liked Chicago. He doesn’t have any ties to either...

Rereading my post I can see that it wasn’t really that clear that boss had moved from Chicago to Dallas.

No. Way out north of Dallas. I think coworker is all the way up near McKinney.

My impression of Dallas is that cheap is available depending on how far
Out one is willing to go and whether one wants a lot of land or not. A few years ago My boss paid roughly the same price per...

I suppose, Iris, that my view is skewed away from flyover country. Just got back from a work team away day. A couple of team members have bought houses recently so real estate was one of the big non...
