WTF-Beta

Speaking out of both sides of his mouth, patronizing, cloying, dishonest, and bearing false witness.

We're doomed.

Was there ever any question?

Why would that be necessary? It wasn't like that before. Different phones have different battery needs. People are just tired of expensive phones becoming bricked after three or four years. It's a scam.

He has a diminishing number of cultists. And his base in general has turned on him. They believed in his "America First" campaign. They are furious. Also he's virtually lost independents with an approval rating in the 20's.

8 shots fired in a country with many guns. Some attendees continued eating, on photog took pictures without putting his drink down. Many guns, few good shots.

Another false flag. The drama is getting old.

This video was taken in the West Bank, but this house/ land/ farm theft has been happening on a recurring basis in Palestine since 1947.

He'll have help in terrorizing the residents of this house, forcing the residents out, or killing them.

It's ostensibly based on the idea that God promised this land to Jews, in practice, mainly Jews from Eastern Europe and Brooklyn, who aren't even Semites.

Is it at a Western value to believe in and/ or support a theocratic, let alone a supremacist government, in the first place?

This is a debacle.

Oh, yeah. Some people, as I understand it, and I could be wrong, are loosing everything. They can't pay the assessment(s) and the condo complex evicts them.

I think there is legislation in Tallahassee to extend the time the owner has to pay the assessments from one year to three, but I'm not sure what's happening with it (something else I should know by now).

I'm only looking at condo buildings and complexes that were built between '68 and '76 (I could go as far as '77 but I really don't want to because a type of synthetic pipe material and pipe connection that became notorious for failure was introduced around '77).

I'm not looking at new construction or any frame construction. I don't want it unless it's concrete block.

My grandparents' house in Tampa was concrete block. They bought it '63 and and it wasn't new.

Concrete block houses in Florida started in the '40's as far as I can tell.

These interiors are virtually sound proof. They don't excel during fires. They don't excel against floods if they're single story. But above the first or second floor in a concrete building is where you want to be in a hurricane. And the virtual silence and privacy in an urban environment can't be found any other way here.

I plan to have a buyer's agent and need to have a real estate attorney. I plan to methodically pull together every piece of information available on every unit I might buy.

I don't view this as an industry necessarily made up of people you can trust. I'd rather trust myself to do my own research.

Yeah, you hear a lot about the downsides to the new laws but reforms were needed.

I'd like to have replaceable batteries back again.

No, not really.

There are new laws, after that happened, but most of them are good, e.g. a law that says all condo HOA's in certain categories (25 or more residents? 3 or more stories? I should know this by now) must publish all of their documents on a State site along with transcripts of all HOA meetings.

These documents include how much they have in escrow, all recent repairs, and if you do your due diligence, you can tell if a condo has had special assessments or is likely to have them.

The places I'm looking at are modest, and solidly built.

They differ from the Miami market because Miami has virtual skyscrapers making special assessments expensive.

The main difference between the Clearwater market and the Miami market is that all of the Miami metro area is on the Atlantic coast.

It gets a tremendous amount of water thrown at it. Water is what is causing the corrosive damage.

We border the Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf is placid unless there is a tropical storm or hurricane.

We don't really hear about special assessments ruining people here.

Miami and the SE coast is definitely a very different market than Clearwater.

I have a lot of factors to process, but, no, I don't worry about special assessments, taxes, or insurance. I will learn everything there is to know about any specific complex before I decide I want to buy.

I wouldn't want to be buying a condo in SE Florida.

He used to or still does (?) famously end his posts with-- "Sad." It turned out to be prescient.

Wow!

It's no different for tennis. Today's generation is amazing.

Well I'm not eating candy again. I'm going to watch the whole video because a woman breaks down all the test results and gives alternatives to various products.

The State of Florida found a person's permissible arsenic level for a year in one candy bar.

I knew they tested different products and found arsenic in candy.

I didn't know how much.

I watched part of their press conference with the Governor's wife and the Surgeon General.
