Actually this season is gearing up to be quite competitive. 2024 was also more competitive than 2023.

Yes they did, in May 2024, Netanyahu immediately rejected it and the Biden administration refused to apply any meaningful pressure, which is why there was no deal until Steven Witkoff got involved.

Press the power button and one of the volume buttons for 3 seconds.

Yes it’s very unfortunate, but we got almost a two month ceasefire which we wouldn’t have gotten with the Biden administration…

That short amount of time has devastating effects on the mental of the faster driver stuck behind the slower one.

McLaren fucked Piastri’s race when they asked him not to overtake Norris.

Enjoy it. A great number of people in the US have been conditioned to tie up their sense of worth to their job, and can’t comprehend there’s more to life.

I’d take 12 years paternity leave if I could.

There’s a good chance it will rain.

It’s really annoying when companies do this. It’s like they are begging us to choose piracy instead.

Assuming your numbers are correct, after one year the interest is $70. I doubt you’d get anyone out to conduct the inspection at that price, let alone two because you need one at move in and one at move out; and let’s not even get started about potential the additional work should there be a dispute by the tenant or the landlord.

You mean they keep a portion of the deposit to determine who receives the payout? If you meant they only keep a portion of the revenues produced by the investment, which obviously must be one of the safest ones available and thus will have low return on investment, I’m afraid that would not be economically viable for the escrow company.

If you’re going to ask the government to step in, I would suggest to make building more housing easier.

If it falls through again in a week or two, I have more faith in the Trump administration to potentially bring peace again than in the Biden administration. Biden was unwilling to use any serious leverage in order to get the Israeli government to stop the genocide.

I don’t like Trump. I merely acknowledge he has been far more successful in stopping the genocide compared to Biden. I do not agree with the Trump administration illegally detaining people.

What we are trying to avoid here is a conflict of interest where the third party would side with whoever pays them most of the time.

It’s important to prevent conflict of interests but asking the city to step in in every single rental agreement is not necessarily an effective solution. Someone else here suggested having the cost split between the tenant and the landlord, which has the merit of addressing the potential conflict of interest.

That’s if everything goes well. What if the tenant does not approve the photos?

A split between the parties might help avoid conflict of interests

Above $125.

Who’s going to pay this neutral third party to come see the property twice and allocate the deposit between the tenant and landlord?

What happened to being civil and nice?

Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, is the one who brokered the ceasefire deal. He imposed a meeting to Netanyahu in the middle of Shabbat and told him the peace deal was going to happen, no way around it. Biden had over a year to do this and refused to apply meaningful pressure on Israel.
