Haven't day traded but I have speed ran games, you get a similar awesome feeling when you've accomplished the goal, and similar feelings when your runs that day are just worse than yesterdays.
You can't separate your mood and results. At least I couldn't. Most days this was fine, I could focus on "I got this trick down, just need to integrate it into the run better" or "wow, that was a perfect 2 minutes" (of an hour-long run). The days where there wasn't a silver lining, those days were a mess. Spend hours, all fucking day, accomplishing nothing? Killed me. I stopped speedrunning. Mostly stopped gaming, but I still like doing factory games or doing things like making a living dex in Pokémon, and still play games with others.
If you're shutting down on those bad days, you have it worse than me, which makes sense, since you're spending money to do this. My advice is to look at what money you've actually made. Is it more than what a normal job would make for the time you've put in? If not, then stop doing it, its not profitable. If it IS making you more money, then you need to put a value on your happiness, since its costing you that. Spoiler, most people want money to live well and get happiness. Even if you're making more, think of it like "was the extra hundred I made worth the crashes I've been having?".
Gambling isn't sustainable, anyway. Day trading is a short term thing, at best, and it sounds like you've tapped that out, at least as far as you can without sacrificing your health.
It's reasonable to conclude a temporary owner could invite someone in, just like a real one. If a warrant involved temporary possession, then the government that issued it would be able to invite someone in, and then if the vampire were charged with a search, that charge would be an invitation.
Based on wording on example warrants in the US, however, they do not word it as a seizure of the building, even temporary. Makes sense, but at least a US-based vampire with a warrant would need to still be invited in.
Equipment and wages, but also all the time you have to put into your business that isn't billable.
Time spent on the phone, scheduling people, time spent doing estimates for jobs, time spent doing business accounting, time spent on truck maintenance, time spent disposing of materials that you've hauled away.
You can pay someone to do almost all of that, and charge for estimates if you'd like, but paying for an accountant or a secretary turns a time cost into a money cost, so you're either losing your hours or doing extra jobs to pay for your accountant. Since finding enough work can be a challenge, it's easier to put in your time, but spending, say, 8 hours a week on accounting is still 8 hours you weren't paid that week.
Taking your truck in for maintenance also means you're paying a mechanic, who has to price similarly to you for all the same reasons, so if you're measuring in time spent per day, you'll find setting aside time to do maintenance yourself is probably worth nearly as much as what you'll make actually working.
Charging for estimates would be great, except that's a privilege you get when you have enough work that you can decline jobs. If you don't have that much work, eating the 10$ of gas (probably 30+ now, but 10$ then) is better than having a customer decline to call because he's paying for you to do maybe nothing, in his mind.
Some weeks I worked 5 days, some 2-3 days. I was college age and either was fine for me at the time. The arborist was putting in 40-50 hours of work on that slow week, 60-70 on the full one.
A larger organization is gonna break all those time costs into additional employees that manage the day to day, an accountant, a mechanic, a secretary, and that's a great way to visualize all the costs that you can't bill for that someone who is working on their own or as a single-crew business is still paying for, just in time they don't get reimbursed for instead.
Military behind lines can be pretty important because of delays in them receiving notices and their ability to do anything about it. Pretty much every legal notice gets a timeframe before things occur. Usually something like a month is sufficient, but for someone in military service, who have arguably the best excuse to not be able to do regular things for a whole month, the usual polite way to go about things is to wait for them to return home, and historically, courts have thrown out cases for people who didn't do that, because it wasn't a reasonable amount of notice.
No idea about the legalities of this particular case, but it is extra rude, getting a court date and losing by default for not showing up when you didn't show up because another part of government mandated you be on a battlefield.
As a former groundsman for an arborist, I was shocked at how much of what seemed like a ludicrous sum just bled away to nothing. Guy earned the equivalent of maybe 20$ an hour after expenses. This was 20 years ago, so that was livable and more than double what someone at McDonalds could expect to make, but the actual income he brought home to the family was microscopic compared to the 1.2 million he took in before expenses.
Imagine a house-sized (or larger) lot in the neighborhood thats just a shed. You go in, theres a few lawnmowers, a chainsaw or two, all kinds of power tools and hand tools, hoses, a couple of printers. Whatever you might imagine in a hardware store that isn't bought and immediately consumed, it's in there, because some neighbor saw the need once, bought it, and stored it. One day you, say, realize you need a voltage tester, and you don't own one, so you go to the community shed, realize one isn't in there, buy one, use it, and then put it away in the community shed. No one else in the entire neighborhood needs to buy one, they'll find it in the shed.
So handy, but it relies on trusting your neighbors. Trusting them to return things, but more than that, trusting them to bother to contribute, help to keep it organized, and to replace things when they break.
That's really interesting and a great way to do that, honestly. A singular fingerprint also makes more sense than needing handwriting analysis to detect a forgery, too. Kinda feel that should be the norm everywhere, honestly, a signing and a print next to it to verify against if the need arises.
I was still speaking historically, so I meant before easy checks like your ID were in place. Its definitely harder to do that, nowadays. But of course they can go after you for it, that's my point. You've agreed to a contract by the act of signing anything. If I forge a name of a nonexistent person, they can still go after me as if I'd signed it normally, because the act of signing at all is what binds me, not what I actually sign. I held the pen, I agreed to the contract. It would be ridiculous to escape legal consequences by doing things like signing differently, and in this area of law, at least in the US, common sense prevailed and I'll be liable for whatever I willingly signed, whether that's my name, an X, a fingerprint, a fake name, or anything else.
Signatures have never required cursive. Historically, people who couldn't read or write would just put an X in the signature spot and that was valid. Yeah, there is a marginal benefit to physically signing something in cursive, but the purpose of signing it has always been more of a final agreement step.
If handwriting and spelling and how I signed it actually mattered at all legally, then I could sign a different name when I buy a car, get keys, drive away, and later in court, say "well I never agreed to pay for this car, look at my signature, it says Frank Sinatra". Same goes for a true forgery. The evidence I didn't sign it myself is my statement in court saying "I didn't sign this", and whatever signs there are that I didn't benefit from this.
You don't need to start with references, it's fine. The let's reads are fine, you can do those, or you can just read it yourself at homestuck.com, nothing wrong with either. At one point it was mspaintadventures.com, but now it just redirects to homestuck.com, since it moved. Same experience, though.
So at this point you know what it is, you know how to avoid being scammed, and you are aware that the most optimal way to deal with these people is to just block them and move on.
With all these things known, you can waste their time by pretending to have trouble depositing the check, saying the deposit went through while doing nothing, saying it worked and then playing hard to get with their "overpayment return" (usually they play on good Samaritan/pay it forward kind of guilt, so just pretend to be an asshole), and fucking with them every step of the way.
Atomic Shrimp on YouTube has done a bunch of these, if you'd rather live vicariously rather than expose yourself.
Given how high the spout gets, I wouldn't be surprised if you treated it too gently, and it wants a higher temp.
Maybe, since it's so large, buy a sacrificial Maxwell house or similar low quality coffee. Make one with your moka pot, so you know what "good" will be with that coffee, and then play with that until you find another "good".
It's fine. All this really means is together you have generated multiple posts worthy of this sub with a single photo. Very efficient of you, I appreciate it.
I mean, financially it wasn't really a choice. Cotton wasn't profitable without slavery. Inherit a cotton farm from your racist parents and capitalism would ensure the racism kept flowing.
That's why we had to force the issue in the first place, the south needed the institution of slavery, and wasn't just fighting to defend slavery because they thought it was neat, it was because they needed it.
No excuses, but when immoral behavior is profitable behavior, yes, people can get dependent.
Yeah. Any Co2/other climate change regressions that the US makes affect everyone globally, and while water use is local, its also as-needed, so post-collapse you have to use up all your water anyway.
AI could use solely graywater/non-water cooling and renewable energies, and that's the answer, just takes slowing down, building specific and rigorous facilities, . Letting the US speed along just hurts everyone due to climate change.
That and every major company economically depends on each other, and disconnecting from the US in a way that doesn't cause backlash also takes time.
Fuck america but don't let them drill holes in the boat we're all riding.
Then you've killed the man you told and the court will have a terribly difficult time producing him, but if they manage it, you'll have to marry him to apply any kind of privilege.

Depends how they can interact with local laws.
It's reasonable to conclude a temporary owner could invite someone in, just like a real one. If a warrant involved temporary possession, then the government that issued it would be able to invite someone in, and then if the vampire were charged with a search, that charge would be an invitation.

Community sheds.

Nah that's the actual pattern, you can see it repeat as you look left and right
