    Need a short term $20,000 loan

    Is this the first year you are behind on the property taxes? Once you are two years behind you are at risk of a foreclosure sale. Don't let it go beyond that. If this is just the initial bill and you are only a few months behind then not a biggie.

    I think jtrs account has been compromised. Its the only explanation that I can figure out. Not that he's a scammer, but a scammer is now running the account.

    You mentioned not wanting to stand out as the "fancy vehicle' in a high crime area so maybe your dads Element would be the low profile option if it pans out.

    Honestly you could have done a lot worse than the s2000. It has an incredibly low idle draw when the ac outlets are on and great efficiency with lower loads as well. Perfect for fridge and network gear backup, tv etc.

    I guess worst case you can sneakernet 1 or 2kWh from office to home each commute to give you a bit of power until bedtime. How's your solar exposure? House with backyard?

    Which Anker did you end up getting? Been super happy with c1000 gen2. Very low idle consumption with ac outlets turned on and no load. At $700 range maybe an s1500 or c2000 gen 2? At a smaller capacity the Segway 1kWh is hard to beat bang for buck wise at $330. Even multiples one for each room...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Thanks great info. The mikrotek I linked has four copper 10gb ports, no transceivers required. The CRS304-4XG-IN. Main thing for me I'd rather no fan noise so the large switches arent ideal.

    You'll have to be two years behind on your property taxes before the county can start foreclosure proceedings against you.

    That video just goes against the narrative that he was just an innocent peaceful ICU nurse helping people. If the agents are found to have acted illegally they should face the full weight of the justice system. We know now that his pistol was taken from him seconds before the shooting...

    Fundamentally, carrying a firearm in public is a huge responsibility, whether open carry or concealed. Every single concealed carry class (which Pretti would have had to have taken as part of Minnesota carry permit application process) will emphasize the need to de-escalate a situation that may...

    A common but less elaborate scam. You list something for sale on Facebook for $500. The seller sends you a check for $2000, gives you some excuse and asks you to send her the $1500 excess. You send her the $1500 from your own good funds. Your bank finally realises the $2k check is fraudulent...

    I would agree some of the things Trump says and does is just crazy. Can't explain it at all. But ultimately, it was total failure on the part of Democrats to field a viable candidate in 2024 that lead to this. They had Biden locked up with zero interviews, trying to hide his diminishing...
