Comment Of Course It's Time for Larger SSDs (Score 1) 195

I am surprised it has taken this long to get to 2TB. Perhaps the price on 1TB will drop a little now, as they are no longer considered a premium drive.

[Personally, I have 750GB of data. When replacing drives, I've always bought twice as much storage as I have had data.
Once you do anything with video, space goes quick, I also have lots of photos, graphic projects, CAD and design projects.]

Comment Converted Shower Into Tub (Score 2) 210

I had a friend who needed a tub for medical reason, but only had a fiberglass shower stall.

Scrounging, I found some scrap aluminum rails. I cut and mitered them to fit in the stall, and screwed them into the stall with stainless sheet metal screws. I put lexan/polycarbonate over the frame, and fixed it with screws and nuts, also stainless. I sealed it with silicone sealer, and...it held!

From time to time, she would let the water run, but it held with about 2 feet of water in it.

luxury apartments that charge higher than market rates

If they are renting them, they must not be getting higher than market rent - market rent is what something will rent for.

That just doesn't make any sense. They can charge higher than what the market will ultimately sustain because deman is so high. This is what is known as a bubble and, make no bones about it, this one will burst and make 2008 look like a small bump in the economy by comparison.

That is an appreciably difficult situation to be in. I'm currently on long term disability which gives me some subsidized housing and food. Without that, I'm facing homelessness. I still work but at a job that only pays 11.00 per hour in a township where the median income is in the 60K-70K range. The only possible way I have to get ahead is by saving for a trailer and going to an RV park. Due to the demands placed on me, I can no longer work a standard 9-5 job due to doctor's appointment, physical therapy, etc. So I'm stuck working as a Security Guard. This is ultimately, not sustainable. Something will have to give ....
