I doubt it. The reason Texas property taxes are high is because they don't have a state income tax, so they have to generate revenue somewhere. In California, we have Prop 13, which was passed ages ago. This limits the maximum allowable property tax to be about 1%. Obviously a nice thing...

I would go with that she is immune, and not a carrier. She was the rare case where her immune system was able to fight off the virus, so the Fireflies wanted to use her cells to develop a serum to "cure" other people. It's like chicken pox. When she got infected she got that scarring on her...

Intruder? Exactly what kind of neighborhood are you living in? If you need a dog "as a first line of defense against intruders" it might be time to consider moving to a new neighborhood. Besides, if you are going to use a dog as security, it would make more sense to have a yard dog instead an...

I just said chicks dig the bulldog, not that I used the bulldog to get chicks. What kind of loser would even think of that? Besides you and a 100 lb wizardhawk?

I've had dogs my entire life, many different breeds. My current bulldog is my first bulldog ever, and he's the best dog I've ever owned. I know this is kind of a pit bull thread, but allow me this brief derail. First off, the bad, and there's lots. As you mentioned, they are short lived...

Montrose is cool, laid back vibe that I like, kind of like how I prefer Ventura to Malibu. There's that good boba place off of Ocean View......I remember trying the Black Cow and thinking it was overrated. Also some sewing store on the same street as Black Cow that is owned by some young guy...

Lol, no. I'm more MOTU than worker bee. Real estate is the largest portion of my investment portfolio. I like the fact it generates income while paying off it's own debt schedule.....how many other investment vehicles can accomplish that? It will (hopefully) become my primary source of...

Truer words never spoken. Oblig pic of mine, after a hard day of watching Netflix:

Good luck on your Mt. Washington bid. Santa Monica is nice, but it's so overpriced because of the schools, especially north of Montana. Since you don't have kids it would be stupid to pay the premium. I love the Pasadena area, especially Old Pas. Lots to do there, and sounds like it's close...

Oh, and if you are young and hip, or think you are, then I recommend Venice Beach, Calabasas, Ventura, NoHo, or Manhattan Beach. Middle age? Santa Monica, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena. Old school? BH, Bel Air, Encino, Pasadena, Malibu, or if you're like me, plan to get the fuck out of this...

I really think you are ovethinking the whole process. I know you are worried about timing the market, but that shit is unpredictable. I think if you plan on staying in LA long term, then go ahead and buy. Obviously the hot area today may be cold in a few decades, and visa versa. Basically LA...

I've played all the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. They are challenging, yes, but also some of the best games ever made. In gaming, you rarely get the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment you do beating some of the bosses in those games. Although difficult, they are also forgiving if...

I'll be on tonight. It seems lately that whenever I log in on the guild server no one else is on :( Like TJT I am still at rank 49.

Shoutout to TJT and Abrams for your help last night on Teostra and Kushala....much appreciated! Now HR 15. Game is super-addicting. It's so funny how much there is in the game that isn't explained; this is my first MH game ever, and I'm trying my best not to use a wiki or anything, but I...

So I came back to this game since the update, there's a ton of stuff to do now, it's actually a bit overwhelming. Graphics seem to have been improved as well. It's been well over a year since I've touched this game, but it took me less than two days to get caught up (gear level over 280 I...

I Historical redlining doesn't mean shit today because anybody can get into a car and move anywhere. You know why blacks don't move out of the shitty areas? Because they can't afford to. So it has mostly to do with wealth, and less to do with race. Lots of blacks are moving out to Antelope...

It's not on short rest, it will be a normal start. Kershaw pitches tonight. The World Series starts on Oct 24, which is in 5 days. This works out perfectly for the Dodgers, assuming they get past the Cubs.

I remember when Arclight Cinemas here in Los Angeles first offered the ability to buy specific seats for showings......no more waiting in line 30 min - 1 hr before the movie begins only to try to find a seat during the ensuing stampede. That has been the single biggest change for me.....never...

Visit the PoE forums: ']https://www.pathofexile.com/forum The game is pretty overwhelming for new players, you can easily find yourself stuck and unable to progress if you just randomly fill out the skill tree. There a lot of good information in there. There is no "best build", go with...

I've done this twice now. My original home I bought in 2003. Market crashed in 2008. In 2011 I bought another home, I kept the 2003 home because it was still upside down and I didn't want to unload it for a loss, so I rented it out. Last year I bought a new home, I turned my 2011 home into a...

I hope the bean counters at Alcon and Sony take into account it's a 3 hour movie and cut it a little slack. Obviously it was a conscious decision on their part to not edit it down, but at 3 hours it's gonna lose a showing every day. A $30 million opening would be like a $45 million opening for...

Saw it last night on Imax, and I have to say, if you enjoyed the original movie at all, you are going to love this one. Better in almost every aspect. I thought it captured the future-noir feel and look perfectly. Also a lot of food for thought about how robots/sexbots and AR can really...

Annual is only good if you have no impulse control and might be one of those idiots who spends it all in a year and goes broke. Otherwise you are losing money by not taking the lump sum. As people have already stated, you can make up the difference with investments. Also, don't forget about...

One of the big issues with PvP in the original Destiny is that it didn't have it's own ruleset, at least not up until when I quit (before the last expansion). So you had raid drops like that original Vex Mythoclast dropping in the first raid (VoG), and people were wrecking faces with it in...

Bad luck on my part I guess. Last league I ended up with 10 divines and 3 exalted drops, I guess I didn't realize divines were nearly as rare as exalteds.

Did they change the drop rate of Divine orbs? I still haven't seen one drop. Also this game is trolling me now. Last league I played AW, had 2 Baron helms drop, one dropped really early (like I was sub-50 level). This league I'm playing SRS necro, still no Baron drop, but I've gotten 2...

Same exact thing happened to me last night. I used a Harb orb on a T12 map and ended up with the Beachhead unique. I haven't done any research on it, but I'm assuming it's difficult, since it's a T15 unique map? Figure I'd tackle it once I'm up to T14/15 on the atlas (currently finishing up...

Are divine vessels a world drop or specifically a harbinger drop? Because I have never seen one drop, and you have gotten a dozen or so. Makes me think my loot filter (Neversink) is maybe omitting them.

Yeah you're right, doubling the drop rates would be too much for the economy, still the drop rates should be improved somewhat, it's way to anemic as it stands imo. Part of the issue also is the mechanic of harbingers. It's like a built-in time sink with crappy rewards; I have never seen...

Not sure how item balance was previously, but I can tell you as far as Harbinger goes it's out of whack. I'm level 89 now. I have seen ONE exalted shard drop, which is the exact same number of exalted orbs dropped. The funny thing is the exalted shard dropped super early for me, in one of the...

Just remember the closer the map level is to your true level, the better the experience. Obviously map levels above your level are going to give you even greater exp but you will need to see how good your kill rate and survivability is. I just run whatever maps drop for me. Gauge your...

I'm I noob or is this something new? I've ran dailies now for about 6 months and I've never seen this before: I ran a Zana daily where the map modifier was that no items drop, but map experience was increased by 329%. I've never seen that before! And if looked like more than 329% because the...

Warren Buffet weighs in on home ownership in today's market. | The Georgetown Dish And just with random Googling, here I find a link where Buffet says that home ownership is the third BEST investment he's ever made in his life. So completely opposite of what you are saying. EDIT: adding...

You're going to have to provide a link because I have a hard time believing that. I know Warren Buffet drives an old beat up truck, and he lives in a very modest home. But he has a big investment in real estate. Berkshire Hathaway is vested in a bunch of real estate brokerages. Certainly he...

Personally when I get close to levelling I play it safe. If I were you I would run easy maps until you hit 91. Then when you hit 91, take on hard content where you don't mind dying, like your T11 map, uber lab, etc. No worse feeling than getting close to a level only to die and lose hours and...
