It's $20 bucks there. batteries will run you another $15, but it will run for about 65 hours on one set. YOu can find it in the camping section.

I'm partial to something like this instead of the bags though mine is plastic rather than stainless.

I have one you could borrow, if you like.

It's nothing special.

I know you don't realize this, but it doesn't matter if you are tolerant or not. You haven't learned how to behave in public.

When someone posts about their horror movie, you don't post saying horror movies suck. No one at all cares what you think about that and didn't ask for your opinion.

People told you that on that thread, but you still didn't get it.

Maybe you should read this book?

I know it isn't directly on point but maybe it will teach you how to deal with others more effectively.

I'm of the opinion that I would rather not have people know if I'm armed if I were to carry my weapon. If I ever have to use my gun, it's only because I've exhausted all other opinions. I rather have it hidden so who ever I'm dealing with isn't put into a heightened state of mind by seeing my weapon.

(An excellent book on this is In the Gravest Extreme. It's a pro-gun book, but isn't gun nut. It argues that your firearm should always be the last thing you use in a dangerous confortation in public.

Then again, I'm blessed to live in an area that is safe enough that I don't need to signal to others that I can defend myself.

I put these in my garage and downstairs. They are sticky trap boxes that do a good job of catching them.

The first time I used the traps in my garage in response to the crickets getting pretty bad they would cover the bottom after a day or so and I'd flip it over. There aren't so many now.

Good call. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any photos of the bike (generic blue 10 speed womens Schwinn), but I do have some details on the trailer (and the blanket :P)

HDDs are not hard to pull from a desktop and you can get a cheap USB adapter to access it on a new computer. Youtube should have plenty of directions.

The problem is that developers, who build apartments to make money, act according to where they see the demand. And where they see demand is in the international students who can pay $1300 for 258 sq. ft. Assuming those apartments get rented, then that is the price that the market will bear, and that is where the incentive is for new developers.

There are some market incentives to own pre-existing low-income or subprime housing, but not really incentives to build low-income or subprime housing, given that some of those incentives tend to lead to terrible outcomes that you tend to see in a lot of low-income housing situations. I could share horror stories on this note, some locally, some from bigger cities, though I'd instead direct you towards Matthew Desmond's heartbreaking but excellent book, Evicted, for a description of the broken incentive structure in sub-prime housing: https://www.amazon.com/Evicted-Poverty-Profit-American-City/dp/0553447432

Now look at the tools that local government has available to curb the problem. The obvious tool, rent control, is unavailable. There's some municipal control over occupancy permits and regulation in Title 16 of the Municipal Code, though licensing through Title 16 concerns maintaining certain levels of public safety and habitability. You have some redress at the county level through the courts, though Title 32 of the IC doesn't provide much protection for tenants, and it doesn't help that most of the tenants in town are part of a transient population that doesn't always vote in local elections.

Meaning that most of the control that local government has over the nature of the new housing that gets built is saying "Yes" or "No" when a private developer comes to the city requesting the construction and zoning approvals. Which puts local government in what I've described previously as a position of having to choose the least worst among bad choices- either we approve new housing, any housing, to try to meet demand in hopes of reaching a saturation point, or we don't approve the new housing.

And then, of course, when you do see proposals for low-income housing, you frequently see local people get up in arms about not wanting that housing built in their neighborhood. And if one were to graph a venn diagram of people who complain about rich foreign students driving up housing prices, who then complain about plans to build low-income housing for the homeless and other people shut out of affordable housing, I'd imagine that you'd be looking at more of a circle than an 8.
