You have proved the comment correct wrt your rudeness.

I have no idea what this has to do with what I said.

$500 is better than $0 but I dont see it significantly changing the math involved. It might relieve the pressure a little for some people but only for a month, maybe 2.

What this fails to account for is that the party of nazis and demagogues is heavily responsible for that hopelessness. They somehow manage to successfully pass the blame to the other party who at least are trying to relieve that a little bit, around the margins. This is a case of perfection being the enemy of good, and it is stupid and self destructive in the extreme.

Will that magically improve his base hardware?

Dont look at the time stamp!

I bring this up because California implemented Prop13 in 1978 to address similar issues and it had mixed results.

I agree with the idea of taxing secondary properties at a higher rate. But that could also have the unintended consequence of driving up rents and landlords look to recoup that money.

The speed can fluctuate as users pop on and off a server, but in general I have gotten excellent speeds (100mbps+). If ever I am getting poor throughput I swap to a different random server until I get what I need. I do not torrent with it though so I am not sure how it fares with that use.

That kind of thinking is what got Trump elected and look at the wonders that did for the USA.

“Liberalism isnt working fast enough, lets try fascism” was a bad strategy

The problem with taxing High Value Property is what happens when Single Family Homes hit that value? If the value of my house skyrockets while I am living there then I can end up losing it do to a massive hike in my taxes.

Thanks! So far I am loving it. Real test will be when the kids start school next week :)

No Connecticut Whale!

booooo

Enjoyed watching a lot of PHF games last season and I hope this works out for players and teams.

I just moved to BC and have no medical/dental insurance yet. Last week I had to pay out-of-pocket to see a dentist and got a prescription for antibiotics. I paid less than I ever did in the US where I did have insurance. Less than CA$100 to see a dentist, get an xray and the prescription. Mindblowing.

Where was that happening? I lived in California 30 years (until last month) and had not experienced a rolling blackout since the ENRON era.

Since you are looking to play single player you might also want to check out Minetest with the Mineclone2 addon installed. It is not identical, but it is an amazing substitute and free.

Their free VPN is good enough that I have not had to purchase their paid version, but I probably will anyway.

Well hopefully he learned his lesson and moves off of the street and into an apartment. /s

The only thing that could fix that up is a fire.

Relevant to this discussion I just moved from the LA area to Vancouver Island. Though there is a drought here no one from Los Angeles would recognize it as such.

The city in California where I lived had a water treatment plant whose output was used to irrigate city parks and landscaping. Not particularly practical to run a parallel water system outside a dense urban area. Maybe not even then. I was not aware of any individual homes that were using grey water systems unless it was some DIY kind of set up. The most I ever did was collect the water I used to wash rice or when waiting for the shower to warm up and use that to water my garden. Eliminating waste like that probably does little in the grand scheme but after living in a desert for so long I can not just pour water down the drain without trying to salvage some of it. Dual flush toilets can also cut down on waste or the tried and true “Don’t flush for #1” . Even new toilets use 5L per flush so that adds up fast.

no serious person would discuss Trump with anything but disdain.
