    My mistake ...

    Yes, agreed about the no deed part, but still ... Anyway he says he thinks he'll be able to start making rent payments next month (problem with worker's comp that may have been resolved). That being said, I think that I will draw a line in the sand ... start making rent payments next month or...

    My mistake ...

    I've been subleasing a room from the apartment I'm leasing to a guy for about 6 years now. Nice guy. But recently (February) temporarily disabled in an industrial accident. He was paid in cash all his life. No disability insurance, no 401K, no nothing. So I'm stuck covering his rent until...

    Is Investing in Russia Wrong ?

    When I walk down Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg, Russia, I'll come across McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway and Col Sander's Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you go to the Galeria Mall, on Ligovsky Prospect, you'll find stores you would find at any upscale mall here in the US. Near...

    Is Russia the embodiment of evil ?

    No, it is not. It is a vast and complex country that has suffered greatly in her history. To outsiders, she is largely a mystery. Even Russians don't often know what they want from their government. To quote Winston Churchill: "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a...

    Best Place To Trade Cryptos?

    I'm interested in getting into cryptos also. These folks have reviews of all the crypto exchanges (btw, I've heard good things about Gemini, not so good about Poloniex). https://www.cryptocompare.com/exchanges/#/overview

    Trading Technologies ("TT") appeals legal decision

    Well, they've done it before. As previously posted, TT has a patent out on the price ladder/DOM concept. It gave no end of trouble to a bunch of companies including my former employer GL Trade (now part of Sungard).

    CNN Producer on tape admitting Witchhunt with no proof

    One of the problems with today's journalism is that there is really no "burden of proof" required before writing an article critical of someone. It's not like an indictment.

    RIP people of kensington, very shocking, and sad images.

    I just read that some kind of foam insulation or cladding, that is somewhat of a standard in the UK, and elsewhere, may have caused the inferno. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3800401/grenfell-tower-cladding-fires-world-high-rise/

    What is the best way you can give back to people in your community?

    And you ride the subway here in NYC, and everyone is either texting, gaming, or listening to music. Which, I guess, in itself is fine, but it just reinforces the idea that everyone is into themselves. And there is always the guy or gal on the bus or subway who either plays their music really...

    What is the best way you can give back to people in your community?

    I dunno. I think it's a day to day thing. I read somewhere that in parts of China, if someone is hurt, no-one will help, apparently because then they are responsible for medical bills (may or may not be true). Anyway, I go to Russia alot. Over there, there is much more a sense of "community"...

    RIP people of kensington, very shocking, and sad images.

    Hmm. I just read that there were concerns about the building filed by a resident's group a year ago. Old mattresses building up in the entry way. That could explain the ferocity of the blaze...

    RIP people of kensington, very shocking, and sad images.

    Yes. Horrible. I think it's arson or terrorism. I saw the photos from the Daily Mail. That's not a normal fire (imho). I think an accelerant was involved.

    Should world leaders openly talk about God after a blast like today's?

    "Should world leaders openly talk about God after a blast like today's?" Definitely. If the perpetrator(s) think that they are going to be rewarded for murdering innocents, they have another thing coming. G-d is a just G-d. They will face His justice, in this life or the next.

    When did you hear about bitcoin for the first time?

    Back around the time of the 2014 surge. Missed it back then, missed it again :(

    United sparks social media storm after man dragged from flight

    I'm guessing that they reserve the right to "bump" passengers, but a paying passenger should also have the right to not be "bumped". Therein lies the problem.

    United sparks social media storm after man dragged from flight

    I fly quite a bit, too. Mostly international. Can't say I've seen it, but I don't know if I would know what's going on in any event.

    United sparks social media storm after man dragged from flight

    My bad. I read in a Chicago Trib piece that a passenger said that a computer selected who to remove, perhaps not randomly.

    United sparks social media storm after man dragged from flight

    Yes, OMG. Selecting who to remove randomly ? Seems fair enough at first sight. But look closer, and maybe there are other factors at work, as other posters have noted. Maybe you randomly selected someone who is dealing with a life or death situation.
