During the whole yo-yo craze, did you accidentally break the classroom's fishtank with a yo-yo, landing you a month's worth of detention? During a detention session where the teacher is not present, you rummaged through her desk for your yo-yo and discover personal ad written by the teacher, ultimately deciding to respond to it as a prank?

I'd guess Heart Shaped Box and About a Girl, for starters

I just checked back and that picture is gone from the article. It had a crowd of people with 4 or 5 if them holding up signs on what looked like printer paper with messages like "protect our students" but the signs and fonts looked unnaturally crisp, almost like a meme template

I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy... but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy

Why does the picture in that article look so fake? Is it just the lighting? The signs look like a terrible photoshop

“We want tourists that come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come for sex.” Hamat Bah, Gambia’s minister of culture and tourism, also stated in a television interview: “If you want a sex destination, you go to Thailand”; a statement for which he later had to apologize

Wild comment

I'm going to guess in most parts of the world heating water is a bigger expense vs getting clean water.

You could choose to feel guilty about wasting heat energy, or just enjoy it knowing the energy had already been spent heating the water for you to enjoy. But screw fresh water! Waste away! It'll stay in the water cycle

I've noticed the same, and it's horrifying when you think about the cost of all those ads and how it's mostly funded by people with gambling problems

How do you define ‘corporate’ ownership? If you can own 100 properties as an individual, does that count as ‘corporate’?

It's how you report the income. A corporation pays corporate tax rate on profit. An individual pays income tax. If someone wants to pay the individual income tax on 100 properties, that's awesome. 33% over 250k. Corporate tax rate can easily be half of that.

Plus filing your taxes is waaaaaay easier having a corp hold all the assets and generating revenue, and the individual as an employee who draws a salary. If you're just an individual with 100 properties and you get audited, you're in for a bumpy ride trying to pick apart personal vs rental purchases

That's what I mean by running some framing horizontally, put a new set of studs horizontally over top the existing studs. Thermal bridging is the ease that the cold moves through your framing. On frosty mornings you can sometimes see where the trusses are on a roof up because the cold moves more easily through the stud vs the insulation. More info on that here. You have 2 options once you install the baffles, either nail a 2x3 directly over the existing rafters to make the wall 1.5" deeper giving room for insulation + baffle, or run the new framing horizontal. Horizontal makes insulating much harder but it gives a bit of a thermal break from the interior drywall to the rafter touching the exterior roof deck.

Baffles will do it If you're willing to do the work, and based on the fact you're already ripping holes in walls, I guess you might be

Tear out the wall, baffles against the roof deck in each cavity. At the ridge you'll need ventilation for the air to escape, ridge venting or otherwise. I'd add 2x3s or 2x4s running horizontally on 16s. You could also just lay them all overtop the existing rafters but if you've gone to this point you might as well do it horizontal to avoid the thermal bridging. Laying over top is easier to insulate, up to you. Next insulate, then vapor barrier. I'd use acoustic sealant at the perimeter of your vapor barrier, it's sticky messy stuff but will help immensely with warm air leakage
