obviously we don't have answers for all of mysterious things that happen in our world
but we usually don't have satisfactory explanations either - it's usually wild speculation
something in our makeup - we're capable of having fear - maybe we want to have fear - become scared - it's in some way enjoyable

My Walmart Neighborhood Market that I go to has self checkout lanes that accept cash. They actually have two bill validators at each station.

The neighborhood Aldi recently put in self-service checkouts. Not bad; I throw the scavenged cardboard boxes on the scale platform and scan away, placing scanned items in my carrier cartons.
The card only thing is minorly annoying. I didn't look too hard at the machinery; I thought I saw coin and currency acceptors, so disabling them may just be a business decision based on the current costs (including time) of cash handling.
The other regional grocer of note seems to make a point of keeping about half of their self-service checkouts switched to card only as well.

I was sent for burger buns and chips, and got a better look.
The self-checkout lanes at my neighborhood Aldi do not have bill or coin acceptors. They are not the usual (NCR?) units I see everywhere else.
pretty amazing story of Nigel Richards, a reclusive guy who is regarded as the world's greatest Tournament Scrabble player
he has won the French World Scrabble Championships a couple of times despite the fact that he doesn't speak French
he reportedly has a photographic memory and memorized the entire French dictionary - just the words - not their meanings
he makes complicated calculations to form words to get the most points possible

re the invisible artwork in above great post from Tanko:
from the article:
"The lucky buyer went home with a certificate of authenticity and a set of instructions: the work, per Garau, must be exhibited in a private house in a roughly five-by-five-foot space free of obstruction.
“When I decide to ‘exhibit’ an immaterial sculpture in a given space, that space will concentrate a certain amount and density of thoughts at a precise point, creating a sculpture that, from my title, will only take the most varied forms,” the artist went on.
“You don’t see it but it exists; it is made of air and spirit,” he explained in a video documenting the Milan piece. “It is a work that asks you to activate the power of the imagination, a power that anyone has, even those who don’t believe they have it.”
Indeed, many people on the internet seem to be having trouble tapping into that power. “So you really just taped a square and called that a sculpture?” reads the most-liked comment on the video page."

Quote: TankoArtist Salvatore Grau sold this invisible 'I Am" sculpture for over $18,000.
I think this sort of thing begs the question of whether there is any wisdom behind saying things are worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
It's obviously a factual statement. Wisdom, I don't know.
Quote: TankoArtist Salvatore Grau sold this invisible 'I Am" sculpture for over $18,000.
He later installed another invisible sculpure entitled 'Aphrodite Crying' in front of Federal Hall in NYC. As far as anyone knows, it is still there.

It is a sensational piece from a budding new artist. I can't wait until he hits his stride.

I first looked at this house three years ago. It was being offered completely furnished for $29,999. The catch is it is a leased community, so you rent the land. It's in a gated community with a person at the gate 24 hours and a mobile response car nearby. I offered $22,000 and was rejected. I went back to look at another house and saw this one was still empty. They were now at $21,000; a week later, they went to $19,999. I offered $16,200, and they accepted. However, the inspection turned up problems so I passed.
A month goes by and it is still empty. These people have been paying lot rent for all this time, but couldn't get over the fact I'd offered $22K in the past. I offered 12.2K, and they countered at 14K. I offered 12.2K, and they accepted. I believe I got a great deal, as I should be able to replace the HVAC and water heater for well under 10K. It's 970 sq feet, with an Arizona room, two community pools and two pickleball courts, two mini gyms, and all sorts of activities. It's a quarter mile to the interstate and five minutes from downtown.
It's fully furnished, but it's not really my style. The nice thing is I can replace things one at a time.

Will it go up or down in value. Those type of homes around here generally go down in value but the older ones, the ones built in the 60s and seventies were so well built that they actually hold their value. They do not build them like that anymore. You can walk through one of the older ones and there's no floor movement whatsoever it sounded as a rock. The ones built in the last 10 or 15 years if they have no furniture in them it's like you're walking on a trampoline.

Even if it goes down, it is only $12k. I think that is about 8 months rent for most of the U.S. My house is only about twice the size of his and I paid about forty times more than he did. Congrats Bill!!

It can't go down much more. If I gutted it, put in two new bathrooms and a new kitchen, it might sell for $60,000. Most similar models to mine are in the $20-$30 K range. I don't think I'll lose anything. It's a 55 and over community, except they allow retired cops and military in at any age. The nice thing is no rentals or subleases.
My house has incredible bones, not like the cookie cutter stuff they push out today.

Notice that all the straight lines in the picture are at an angle. This is because they used a wide angle lens, it makes everything look bigger. Notice how everything has kind of a rounded look, this is a very common technique you stand in a doorway or you stand at the very farthest end of a room and with a wide angle lens the room looks like it's 3 ft wider than it is. It's an old real estate trick that's been around for a hundred years. They do it when they take pictures of motel rooms for brochures or for the internet.

I pay electric, gas, and a part of the sewer bill with the rent and have to contract a garbage pickup. I'm hoping to use the pools regularly. The community also has about a dozen bikes you can use. Between the pickleball, swimming and bike riding, it should be a welcome change of pace. It's also only three hours to a beach!
In my convoluted way of thinking, this is like signing a three-year lease on a furnished apartment.
Now I must find an RV park in the mountains for my weekend/summer getaways. For under $35,000 cash, and less than $10,000 a year in rent, I'll live in a high-end community and have a fifth wheel in place for when I want to get away., without the expense of a $70,000 pickup to move the thing.
And they say the dream is dead.
High Roller Tantrum - dude thinks he's King of LV - he spent more than $200K at Resorts World's nightclub called Zouk
from the article:
"The series of events started at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, August 5, 2023, where a known whale (described to us as a “trust fund baby” from Australia), Ben Ralph, was partying at Encore Beach Club.
As day transitioned into night, it seems Ralph turned his attention to Wynn’s XS Nightclub, which hadn’t opened yet. We’re told the guest demanded the club open an hour earlier than usual, just for him.
This, obviously, was a no-go for XS, for myriad reasons. The news his request couldn’t be accommodated was delivered by the manager of XS, Niko Samarxhiu.
Apparently, the interaction got heated, and Ralph proceeded to threaten Samarxhiu and his family.
Ralph was barred from Wynn Las Vegas, and law enforcement was contacted.
Ralph proceeded to post a profanity-laced series of angry and xenophobic messages on his Instagram account, specifically calling out the manager of XS, including one referring to Samarxhiu as a “broke ass immigrant"
It gets worse.
As Ralph was raging on Instagram, he made his way to Resorts World’s nightclub, Zouk.
He is rumored to have spent more than $200,000 at the nightclub, and as part of the table packages at Zouk, guests can request messages appear on the massive video screen on the side of Resorts World.
then he somehow got this (shocking) message put on the giant screen on the side of Resorts World:
Wynn Resorts has been fairly tight-lipped about the series of incidents, but did share a glorious statement with us: “We will not dignify the behavior of the guest toward our employee nor Resort’s World’s actions with a comment.”
See, mean and classy aren’t mutually exclusive. Take note, Ben"

That doesn’t happen…everyone knows it doesn’t happen…..nor does it add anything the scene. Yet it makes it onto screens of major series or movies all the time. Pet peeve.

Homeowners insurance covers loss from FIRE. Homeowners insurance EXCLUDES loss from FLOOD. I posted this fact several months ago when, I believe, DRich stated his insurance covered flood with a $10k deductible. Prior to the hurricane DRich experienced I told him to set his house on fire if the hurricane was about to destroy or heavily damage his newly purchased home in FL. I believe he, DRich, stated that he sadly experienced flood damage that was NOT covered.
My sister owns a home in So.Cal. Homeowners does NOT cover "earth movement" (earthquake damage), so I told her that if she were to experience an earthquake that caused significant damage to her home, she should set it on fire to recover from her HO policy.
Conclusion: the homes that were damaged by fire as described above are/were covered under the HO policies in force.

My home did not have any flood damage, I did have minor wind damage that was less than $20,000 so i got out of it pretty good.. My parents house and my sisters house both had extensive flood damage. They both reside near water and in flood zones so they both had flood insurance. They both had around $250k of flood insurance each so that covered the majority of their damage. Although there is a canal across the street from me it is isolated and fresh water so tidal waters do not affect it. Where I live is not considered a likely flood zone so my mortgage holder does not require me to have flood insurance.

3 day suspension of billryan for a personal insult.
tuttigym's original comment was a conversational way of pointing out a loophole or inequity in insurance policies. Had he made that comment at a social party or gathering, people would not be interpreting it as a sinister comment meant to actually encourage people to commit felonies.
The subsequent comments by billryan and soopoo suggesting that tuttigym was encouraging people to commit insurance fraud and arson were a bit meanspirited but within the bounds of normal conversation, IMO. But the post above ending in "but people eventually reveal their inner selves" is an inappropriate personal slam at tuttigym and over the top. It is this comment, within the context of the preceding posts, that triggers the 3-day suspension.

In most places if you have a mortgage and live in a flood zone flood insurance will be required. My parents don't have a mortgage but were smart enough to have flood insurance. Obviously down here flood insurance is very expensive. My parents pay over $12,000 a year for it. Between their flood insurance and hurricane insurance they were reimbursed close to $400,000 after hurricane Ian.

In some prisons you can buy clothes from the commissary if you have the money. He might have bought some "more civilian-looking" clothes to wear after his escape so he could blend in better. Or maybe that's what they issue, who knows.

Or an old person. I know a guy in his late 80s who gets all that done at his house, he even has somebody come in and cut his toenails for him. When you got money you got money.. I don't like having strangers in my house I'm always afraid they're casing the joint and I'm going to get ripped off. I have too many guns around here, guns on display and guns you'll never see until it's pointed at you. Do people still say that? I had a friend in California around 1980 who always carried a gun illegally and he only showed it to me once and he always said if you ever see it again it'll be pointed at you.

I imagine I will be seeing an ankle monitor next :)

Or an old person. I know a guy in his late 80s who gets all that done at his house, he even has somebody come in and cut his toenails for him. When you got money you got money..

In Florida now everyone can conceal carry a gun. I am surprised there haven't been many stories of idiots shooting each other.
As soon as you say "I know a guy" I must disregard it as a lie given your history.Quote: EvenBobQuote: JohnzimboNew neighbors moved in recently and so far have seen a mobile dog grooming truck and a mobile barber truck there.

Do what you want Axel, nobody cares. Why are you turning into this guy that you're turning into.. It's not your most attractive side. It's like you have nothing positive to say about anything anymore.
