No, this tree was already down due to natural causes before the first photo was taken.

No. This is what the Seattle waterfront look like now. It's amazing. The crowds seem large but I suspect these are the FIFA tourists.

isn't it under construction?

Yes, because the collapse of the auto industry in Detroit wasn't the overriding problem.

Tht kind of building is very high maintenance and needs a ton of money to convert to collective living. Better use the same amount of money to build something appropriate from the start.

It's still there. You can see the construction (elevator shaft?) on the roof of the first high-rise on the top photo, just above the far left corner of the light "liquors" building in the bottom photo. Photographic lens distortion due to focal length/angle of view?

I am gonna speak in brass tacks. Employers and people lie. They want someone who is dumb enough to follow what they need done by choosing the least qualified person who they can manipulate and pay them pittance for a s h i t job. If the person doing the hiring thinks that is a legit question, glad you ran as fast as you can.

Was rather perplexed, so looked this one up: "Local lore says the path was originally designated as the "Environmentally Sensitive" trail. A reckless mountain biker allegedly scratched or broke off the "Environ" part of the text, leaving behind just "Mentally Sensitive". The park rangers found it funny, and the comical name was eventually adopted as the official title.The trail is situated inside the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park near Laguna Beach, California."

57 Heartwarming Posts From The Better Side Of The Internet

With landlords it really depends on the individual and what their motivations are. Giant property management companies with enormous portfolios that are only in it for the money can get f****d. I was a landlord for a short period of time. I had to move to a different state for work, and due to the volatility of the housing market I simply couldn't afford to sell the house. The market decided it was worth less than what I still owed on it. I never made a dollar of profit on that venture, but it did allow me to avoid losing 10s of thousands of dollars. I know a business owner who is lucky enough to own the building his business is in, which also has two apartments. He has no interest in making money off of them and when he found actual good tenants (who weren't wrecking the place) he effectively made their rent equal to whatever the annual maintenance cost was.

42 Experiences With The Youngest Generation That Make People Feel The World Is Doomed

The problem is that the Chromebooks they are given are so tightly locked down that kids never have the experience of messing something up and having to work out how to fix their mistake. There is nothing for them to explore aside from whatever 5 or 6 apps their school pre-installs.

Funny story, in 1990/1-ish (age 4) I struggled to read a digital clock rather than an analog clock because 7-segment display numbers look nothing like actual numbers.
