It is an asymmetric relationship. The landlord only cares if a tenant can be trusted to pay rent and not trash the place. On the other hand, the tenant is getting a service (shelter and upkeep) from the landlord.
Like other service providers, an aggregate rating is probably more appropriate. Some people are fine as long as they have a roof and indoor plumbing while others rate 1-star if the water takes a minute to warm up. Some tenants care about kitchen appliances while others care about an updated bathroom. Some like to be woken up by the first rays of sun while others want a dark room to sleep in. It is important for tenants to both get a good aggregate of a landlord’s quality but also understand if the landlord’s faults are ones that they care about.
Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...
I am pretty certain Marshalls (a TJX store) has kept prices fairly flat (if not dropping them slightly). I am used to paying about $30 for pants (across many discount retailers), but the last couple of pairs I bought there were around $20.
Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it)....
I’ve lived under a rock for 10 years. I did Metro ages ago while most were still on contracts. Surely we’ve reached true capitalist open market freedom by now. Is it still total closed market, noncompetitive, privateering corruption?
The US has had prepaid plans for ages. The first phone I got, back in 2006 or 2007 was like that. If I recall correctly, it was 25¢/minute to call and 10¢/text. If I bought a $25 balance card, the credit would expire after 90 days instead of the usual 30 (plus unused balance would roll over, as long as I had unexpired money in my account.
The Pacers should have been able to dominate the paint, because they have bigger and stronger players.
If anything, I think the Pacers did a good job resisting doubling. The Celtic’s strategy is to always have many shooters on the court. Normally they would be able to probe the defense to draw a double team and then send the ball around to the uncovered player. To me, it looked like the Pacers kept everyone covered and guarded passing angles. Many of the Celtics possessions ended with the ball handler looking for an opening for 15 seconds and settling for a loosely contested 3.
From a high level, small plumbing repairs are easy: screw hoses together, water flows down hill. The devil is in the details and oh boy is it quite a devil. Parts are often rusted in place. Trying to shut an old valve can just as easily create an additional leak. In many American homes, working on a kitchen sink is especially difficult because it is built into a narrow cabinet and there may be a garbage disposal and dishwasher hookup getting in the way.
He was a great player, but his antics this past season should have gotten him banned from the league imo. Now I’m forced to watch him in a commercial every playoff game, and they’re making him an analyst? He choked out Rudy Gobert like he was in the UFC this season and now I have to listen to him talk shit about Rudy in the...
In general, I don’t like networks featuring active players as analysts. I always take their critique of other players with a grain of salt because they are all competing for the same roster spots. They can hate on a team all they want, but remember: the reason that an active player is working as a play off analyst is because their team lost and the team they are critiquing did not.
But yes, Draymond is a dirty player. I do think he is not Andrew Bynum (who actively injured other players) but more out of control than Metta World Peace.
Not just losers. Dennis Rodman is in the Hall of Fame. The 90s were a different time. Many of Green’s antics would have ended up with him getting beaten up.

Of all the coaches in the league, Lue would be high on my list of expected firings. Not that he is doing a bad job, but the Clippers must know that what they have now is not working. It is much easier to bring in a new coach than it is to bring in a new super star, even if a roster shake up is what they need.
Win or lose, the Clippers are going to need to rebuild soon so signing a win now coach to a long term deal seems like a less than optimal decision.
