  • This, exactly. I am all for universal housing but frankly the cost of a house in materials alone is beyond the ability of many people to afford (tiny homes don’t really work out for people with they are going to have children, and children are the foundation of our future economy.

    I think the government has a place in providing housing for those in need, but landlords also have a role.

    When people trash rental units or skip out on rent and abuse process - regardless of whether the landlord does their duties - it does not encourage small scale landlords to assume the risk. However, it’s a rounding error to Blackrock.

    Industrial scale financialisation of housing is not good for anyone.

  • Landlords are rent-seekers but fraudulent and abusive tenants are also part of the problem. There are people out there who destroy properties, refuse to pay rent, and then repeat the process in every place they live. Even if a compassionate landlord wants to help people, a renter like that will sour them.

    The real problem in this article is imo paying someone to find a tenant and then being told that the person you paid is not responsible in any way for the person they’ve presented as a tenant. Realtors don’t do any work aside from paying someone to take photos, and don’t assume any risk. At least (small) landlords have skin in the game in comparison.

  • The model number should be printed on a sticker inside the door, somewhere.

    Sorry, can’t help with that specific model but I came here to express my rage and frustration at appliance manufacturers who use a totally inappropriate plastic for door bins.

    Also, cyanoacrylate seems to work pretty well. Doesn’t solve the underlying problem. Remember when fridges had metal? I do.

  • I can see how the conversation could go, outside of Texas

    It’s seasonal use. It’s not like it’s full time occupation. It’s a camp, most of the time they’re not going to be in the buildings. Etc.

    It’s a weak argument and I think that places like that need more code than less (think of fires, etc.). There’s ways to make rustic, summer camp buildings fun and safe, but a quick glance at the safety precautions taken to move children to school in the USA is sufficient to understand the risk assessment process. If it hurts kids occasionally, it’s probably fine. Just as long as shareholders aren’t hurt

  • There is a gene (iirc) that’s linked to caffeine management and metabolism. You’ve probably got it. It also means that you don’t a lot of the measured benefits (eg sports performance). There’s also tolerance that develops over time but that’s different. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780443138683000533

    ADHD is linked to caffeine tolerance but, speaking for myself, I get very jittery with more than my usual 2 strong cups of coffee. I do intentionally keep it that way; I don’t want caffeine tolerance.

  • It’s only weird if you keep shaving them for him. Open conversations like that are a sign of great communication and trust!

    I know that removing pubes can have a health impact for vagina owners. I don’t know if that holds true for penis owners. That may be something to investigate and advise.

  • You can improve a skill by visualizing your performance of the skill.

    But you need to have the experience beforehand to be able to understand what you’re visualizing.

    So - absolutely not.

    There’s enough people locally who die that it seems reasonable for me to project that thousands die globally each year because they have no clue how to swim, but other people are there having fun in the water and how hard could it be?
