We had them! Flasks! They’re not just for science. You can use them as cups that are hard to tip over and hard to wash! We still have them, we just don’t use them for whatever reason.

Its probably a 150 to 300/dollar loss I’m guessing.

It’s not legal or encouraging advice, just commentary. It’s the equivalent of a dreded home improvement project where everything goes wrong but you don’t know yet.
Let’s update the toilet! So you go to Lowes (not home deportation depot) and you spent time getting it. Then you find out the valve is stuck so that’s another Lowes trip. Next you get the toilet ready but the flooring is all rotted. So you take another Lowes trip. ETC.
You increase the servicing time per toilet. Like the difference between replacing an engine and having to diagnose a dead engine because your alternator stopped working at the same time that the starter and fuel pump stopped working.

Cut 1/2 way thru… Then electrical tape to cover up the cut. Then cut the solar wires and heat-shrink the cut back together. Then walk away.
Imagine what happens when you don’t know what the fuck is wrong with this perfectly good camera.

Or eye surgery. Or while waiting for a redlight under a bridge. Or when visiting cousin Margo at her apartment on flight 71 of the Eyefell tower in Randostopia.

You know that’s how we probably got cheese? Some woman with a yeast literally put her hand in the yeast area, then in the milk container and created cheese accidentally.
Or feet! It could have been a guy with the most stinky feet. We just don’t know.

No worries it doesn’t affect you. It just affects who can let you know what jobs are available for a monthly fee while you have no job.

Somebody must help these poor landlord asshole billionaire wannabes. Am I right?
- Comment on Don't be so quick to judge 1 week ago:
How much would you expect back if you gave someone a loan for $500,000.00 after 3 years, 5years, 10years?
Calculations:
After 3 years: 500,000×(1+0.0430⋅3)=500,000×1.129=564,500.
After 5 years: 500,000×(1+0.0438⋅5)=500,000×1.219=609,500.
After 10 years: 500,000×(1+0.0468⋅10)=500,000×1.468=734,000.Ok so 64,500/3/12=$1792.00 would be your fair monthly rent since the landlord would put that money away and expect a return for that investment.
For 5 years it would be $3,042.
For 10 years it would be $6500. Clearly a better investment.
Except that when they get your rent they can put that money into the investment system again and get much more money overtime.
First month say 1000 (super cheap tent on a cardboard box behind a Wendy’s).
Second month 2040 assuming 4% per month.
$41,000 after 3 years, $67,000 after 5 years, 170,000 after 10 years at 4.3% APR.
If the rent was 3000, that would be $510,000 after 10 years. This is not a good investment if you paid $900,000 for that house. You want the return in 5 years so the rent would be $5708.00 per month.
And that right there is why our rent is so expensive. We are basically ensuring the profit of a nice steady percentage to some investor. Now, if you didn’t ever invest in the house, your house would eventually become land. So you do want to pay to keep that thing looking good, but maybe not 4.3% per month?

Monsanto: Corn! Yes that’s the answer! Mutant corn!
Mexicans: No! Don’t ruin our corn that our ancestors carefully designed for us by artificial selection! Don’t ruin it with actual DNA editing! We want our color variations the most!
Monsanto: So black corn? Ok black corn it is! The side effects of black corn may include…black corn kernels in your poop, cancer, food comma, cancer, eye cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, mouth ulcers, mouth cancer, nose cancer, brain cancer, bone cancer, other types of cancer. If cancer, don’t forget to cancer as many cancer cancers as you can cancer. Of your doctor cancers your cancer Monsanto is not responsible for the cancer. Additionally cancer cancer cancer cancer the black corn with a wet slightly humid towel before consuming. Remember! Cancer first!
