Okay, so the analogy wasn't perfect. However, anyone who "bought 5 properties last month" probably isn't the kind of person being addressed with that analogy.
Furthermore, I would bet that if the bank owned part of your house (i.e. you have a mortgage) they would insist of some kind of coverage in the case of catastrophe (they want to protect their money.) This has been the case with the two homes I have purchased.
BTW, I wasn't the original post on this, but it generally bugs me when anecdotes are used to refute analogies. Analogies are never perfect, almost by definition, so outlier cases will exist.
This seems interesting, but I'm not happy with their online, web-based manual. No real searching, the layout is torturous, and I want to be able to use a manual when not online.
Is there a single file (pdf preferably) manual that I can study?
As I recall, Gandalf only said that he was going to talk to Tom; I guess it could be argued that since it was Gandalf saying that, then it probably happened.
(This is from memory, but since I have been a Tolkien geek for about 33 years, it should be close...)
If I recall the article correctly, they are using the slightly warmed water as part of the muncipal potable water supply (after suitable filtering/processing), so it won't warm the lake at all, merely reduce its volume by an extremely small amount.
That is why the two "confounders" are retaining a controlling percentage of the voting stock. It makes it easier to do what's good for the company without worrying too much about what today's shareholders want.
Except for inherently scarce resources like land. Good properties (nice view, river frontage, etc.) will always command a premium.

I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains, and in San Jose/Cupertino, and the two climates are completely different. We got roughly 40" of rain per year, and two years got over six inches of snow. I wouldn't say it was like Portland, but it was not very similar to the valley, either.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

And you could call it Goober! (oh wait, you might have some trademark issues. Lotta goobers out there.)

I have to respond to this, albeit belatedly.

Doubly so, since Warren Buffett owns said Buffalo News...
