Id go so far as to say SaaS in general. Small startups are paying $5000/month to send emails and we've come to the point where inboxes are monopolized and if you don't pay up to a cloud provider your emails end up in spam.

Take this and repeat for everything. Monopolize, ratchet up the costs, profit.

I just got back from Quebec and vas surprised to see a ton of electric cars- like California levels of full electric cars on the road. I have to assume that most of them have made it through the winter alright, otherwise we'd be hearing about it. They do test these things in very cold climates before they sell them.

At some point though the benefit of moving away from fossil fuels infrastructure outweighs the labor and strategic protection afforded by tariffs. IMO we are at that point- if we keep on doing what we're doing for another 30-50 years union jobs probably won't matter when vast parts of the world become uninhabitable

That's because soft toilet paper is too gay for Russia.

I'm the first to admit that I am one, but backpacking has a similar thing, gear junkies. They like the gear and having the lightest weight x and the most multifunction y more than the actual walking and sleeping outside.

It's the whole reason why titanium sporks exist when a disposable plastic spoon is cheaper, lighter, and lasts perfectly fine for the duration of 99% of backpacking trips.

I'm not sure you can blame short term rentals for this happening in desirable vacation spots worldwide. People have become much more mobile, and a decade of very cheap interest rates mean that there is no more "run down cheap cabin in the woods" any more. Even for owners who have owned those properties for many years, insurance costs and taxes have spike along with the housing costs.

I own a home in a very expensive area with extremely limited geography that prevents additional development, but also has in place a practical ban on short term rentals- 28 day minimum. This has not led to more affordable housing, but rather a lot of empty vacation homes owned by very wealthy people and $700/night hotel rooms. Also, locals being pushed out due to spiralling insurance and property tax increases. All without short term rental being a factor.

Delinquent accounts without payment can be removed from your credit report by disputing with the credit bureau, with the exception of FEDERAL student loans. Filing for bankruptcy and having that on your record for seven more years seems like the worst possible way to deal with it.

False. New debt collectors purchasing the debt does not reset the clock. Also depending on your state, debt collectors could be barred from legal action well before 7 years.

Had some good Backcountry fishing here, clear shallow water and plenty of snapper. To fish and boat in everglades national park, you need the park pass (get it online), and you need to take an online boating course, which is free. In key largo, if you are north of the intercoastal waterway, you are already in everglades national park.

This spot was fairly easy to get to, but the pass coming out of blackwater sound was pretty shallow at around 2ft, so be careful on the way in. Watch for manatees in the area as well.

If you have a draft more than about 24", best approach is from the channel side from the south, or from offshore side. Shallow reefs inshore of sandbar area. Best conditions are at negative tide with seas <= 1ft reported at Molassas Reef. Expect approximately 3-5ft depths at shallowest spots, so bring floats for short people and those who aren't swimmers. Bottom is coarse white coral sand.
