360 Days of personal use. Five days where the Smith Family paid me by check, and 100 days where I got cash. FUCK YOU TAX MAN.
that's not mixed. you need to rent up to 2 weeks for it to start being classified as mixed rental property. hell, you don't even have to pay tax on that rental income.
i watched a talk recently about the cruelty of meritocratic ideals, and how the individualism of modern society is crushing to the underclass. that is, we aggressively- in media, via social practices, etc- present the idea that we can all be bill gates with enough desire and skill. so almost all of us embrace that hungrily, because if we're entirely responsible for the nature of our lives, then we own our failures as much as we own that dream of success. western, individualist societies have high rates of suicide and it's theorized that it could be for that reason.

It was the other way around - Mr. Incredible was leaving for work and Mrs. Incredible yanked him back.
Also, Edna Mode was amazing.

"You can't! It's impossible, I'm far too busy, so ask me now before again I become sane!"

I wanna see them go into the Earth and fight John Ratzenberg. Or whatever that character's name was.
I am amazed it still hasn't seen a sequel. It was one of their best works, it was across the board well received, it had likable family-friendly characters...
I mean I know people have crazy love for Toy Story but man Pixar should have had 2 sequels for the coolest movie.

You can take a CCNA course that lasts as little as 5 days, with a refund if you don't pass the test given immediately afterwards. Cost runs to around $4000 including hotel room for the ones I've seen.

An effective way of limiting such deaths would simply be to ban carrying around firearms in public.
Murder/suicides happen with or without guns. But rage shootings in the street? Much less likely if no one has a pistol on their hip.

"You push too hard, Darling, but....I accept!"
Oh yeah! I remember it was the part where Mr. incredible is getting back into it and working out and getting all Rico Suave.
The fashion designer-mom interaction was great. It was genre-savvy to superheroism but accessible and slipped in a sort of respectful nod to middle-aged appearance anxieties.
The Incredibles as a whole didn't really grab me, but there were some good little moments in there.
i don't have much of a problem with that, because it's a lot better than "if you try hard enough, you can do anything, no matter what!" which i think is a poisonous attitude
I don't mind that attitude in movies when it actually shows practice. And I don't mean a 30-second montage. I mean more like, "Do [X] every day for 10 years and you'll be good at [X]." Of course, that sort of message doesn't fit into the narrative of most movies.
One of my favorite kid's shows was Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. I loved it when I was a kid (I was all about Henson stuff when I was little) and I went back a few years ago and re-discovered how smart Jim Henson was.
Plot spoilers (for a 30-year-old kids' special, but whatever):
It's a typical talent show plot, where the main characters are practicing for a big musical competition at the end, and their primary rivals are slick and flashy and wholly unlikeable. But when it gets to the end, they lose. They lose because they've never done a talent show before, and their competition is slick and flashy.
At the very end one of judges comes up to them and says, "Hey, you guys were good. The other guys were better. It happens. But if you want, you can come sing at my restaurant once a week. I can't pay you, but I'll feed you."
The characters get a small reward for having natural talent and the ability to practice and get better. I felt like it was a pretty good message for a kid's show.

Well, usually the 5 years experience comes first, then they hit a ceiling where they need the damned credentials to get a raise or a promotion... so they knock out the exam in a week and get back to doing their job. Basically you have to judge the quality of the tests at this point... when I was starting out, "Paper MCSE" was a thing people said to criticize your skills. There was the guy who spent two years getting his Microsoft certs, and the guy who spent two years building networks and supporting Windows NT and working in the industry, and you knew which one you wanted to hire. CCNA, though, has always been a challenging test. You can't really bullshit your way through it, and if you don't have experience in the field you're going to be so lost in a 5-day crash course that you'll never pass the exam anyway.

Just about anything by Patricia McKillip (for good fantasy by someone still writing).
She usually writes standalone novels. Though she has written (and actually finished) at least one excellent trilogy (the Riddlemaster books).
Besides the riddlemaster trilogy "Od Magic" and "Alphabet of Thorns" are really good.
and of course Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel if you haven't read it.
The song being "we are more american" in Spanish probably had a lot to do with it.
