5 Ways To Instantly Turn Small Talk Into BIG TALK:Let me preface this by presenting the following idea: nobody is boring. Whenever I hear colleagues or friends complain about small talk I always ask them "Did you make an effort to elevate the conversation?" Or did you just ask them the same jibber jabber questions that you do with 80% of the people in your life? Conversations may be a two way street but you always have the power to make it more dynamic and engaging. Ask boring questions and you'll receive boring answers. Simple as that.People can only show as much as you let them within the context of the conversation. Not everyone shines under the same light and it's your job as a social being to figure out how you can help them show off their dazzling personality. A classic conversational trap is asking people questions that you can easily anticipate the answers to.For instance you'll ask "How’s your day?" and they'll respond with "Good." That's boring, uneventful and you feel like you're just going through the motions. In this article I'll explain how to morph those typical small talk questions into meaningful opportunities for relationship growth.1) What you normally ask: "How's your day?"What to ask instead: "What's the most surprising thing that happened to you recently?"--Doing this entices them to give better answers and actually reflect on the highs and lows of the past week. Giving them the opportunity to be insightful will compel them to open up and give intimate details about their life that they wouldn't normally share.2) What you normally ask: "What do you do for a living?"What to ask instead: "What gets you up in the morning? What are you most passionate about?"--Feeding people generic questions is only setting ourselves up to receive generic answers. Giving someone a positive and encouraging context to bring up their job, sets them up to talk about it with passion. Often times we worry about answering questions in an easily digestible way. This trend of thinking is toxic for those trying to maximize the output of daily interactions. Make people remember you by actively engaging with them. Become unforgettable and you'll move up on their mental list.3) What you normally ask: How are you holding up?What to ask instead: What's holding you up? What motivates you to keep moving forward?--This question is typically saved for someone going through a rough patch in their life. There's a line in the 2000 Danny Boyle movie The Beach that says, "Either get better or die. It's the hanging around in between that really pisses people off." Asking someone about their mental state when they're clearly in distress will only encourage them to lie and say everything's fine, so they can alleviate any discomfort.By focusing on the positive aspects of sadness such as hope and inspiration, you are subconsciously allowing that person to release their repressed feelings in a healthy and uplifting way. Hearing the thought process behind their coping strategies will give you insight into the severity of their issues without having to ask outright. They say the quickest way to a persons heart is through their stomach, but it's actually through subtlety.4. What you normally ask: How was ________? (Your date, your trip to New York, your hike up Torrey Pines)What to ask instead: If you had to do ________ all over again, what would you do differently?The broader your questions are, the less details people will give in return. Asking them about the overall quality of their experience will garner a common response ensuring that their time wasn't wasted. Answers like "It was good. I had tons of fun", are the ones you want to avoid. Ask poignant questions that will actually make them think. This thought train you send them on will make other stops organically along the way, providing you a better shot at finding out how_________ truly was for them.5. What you normally ask: Are you married?What to ask instead: Do you think life partners are over or underrated?The best way to get someone to talk about something specific is to bring up questions surrounding the central topic you secretly want them to elaborate on. If you want to know about their husband/wife, you have to get there incrementally by first talking about friendships, relationships, love etc. This question serves two functions: (a) it gives you their perspective on love and (b) personal values. Someone who puts a high premium on having someone by their side has a much different psychology than a person who is indifferent to the idea. Their answer to this is a natural transition into volunteering information about their own personal experiences.Getting information through the proverbial front door of someone's brain will always be underwhelming and overrated. Small talk is normally inconsequential and monotonous. But it doesn't have to be that way! Getting to know someone is like trying to break into a house. You can't just bust the door down right away. You need a plan of attack. Could you get in through the window? Maybe sneak into the garage? Going from small talk to big talk is allowing the other person to open up the doors for you. People want to be heard and understood. You just have to give them permission first.When life hands you small lemons, make big lemonade. Happy talking!Thomas

IMO that would be unwise. Even with the landlord's permission, renting on Airbnb is illegal in NYC unless your building is zoned and permitted for transient occupancy. I would suggest not filing to pay taxes as that would evidence and record income from unlawful rental activity.

Other answers have covered the fine points well, but speaking to the crux of the q: this an incredibly common misunderstanding amongst many gun owners, that those who own legal machine guns “got their Class 3 license” in order to do so.(It’s also a misnomer to refer to transferable machine guns, suppressors, short-barrel rifles et al as “class 3 items”. “NFA items” or even “Title II weapons” would be more apt and accurate.)If you can lawfully purchase a “regular” (semi, revolver, shotgun, lever-action rifle, whatever) gun, and your state does not preclude ownership of the NFA item you’d like…you ALREADY have all the “licensure” you need.There are the jumpable hoops of fingerprinting, filling out the ATF paperwork, paying the (usually) $200 tax for the transfer, background check, and waiting 6–15 months of processing; there’s also the matter of the market price of the items (thousands to tens of thousand for machine guns, due to finite supply of transferable guns).But a license just to buy a machine gun? Nope.The more you know. Now, please help stop this erroneous belief amongst our fellow gun owners…and gently correct them when they speak of “getting your class 3 license”.

As someone who has been in the business since 2001, I can attest to the fact that private investigators face a lot of challenges. From the mundane to the life-threatening, it will vary depending on the individual’s specialty, his geographical location, his status within his agency and other factors.If the private investigator is just an investigator (and sometimes I wish I were — more on that below), his greatest challenges are mostly going to be directly related to the cases he is assigned to. For example and in no particular order:Running surveillance on someone who is “surveillance conscious” (in other words, looking over their shoulder/in their rear-view mirror to see if they are being followed). This might be because the subject of the surveillance has had prior training (we recently surveilled a cheating NYPD detective), because they’ve been tipped-off by someone or perhaps the subject is just paranoid in general and ALWAYS thinks they are being followed.Doing database/courthouse research (for a locate or a background search) when the client has provided very minimal or even incorrect info as a starting point. We have excellent (non-public) databases at our disposal but the old expression, “garbage in, garbage out” still applies. For example, a client asked us to locate a man she had met (and been charmed by) at an out-of-state business conference. All she could tell us was his (quite common) name, David Johnson, his age, 37, and his (very large) city of residence. After days of unsuccessful research, we finally (and semi-miraculously) located her mystery boyfriend who turned out to be Arnold David Jonson (he goes by his middle name), age 42 (he had lied about his age). At least she got the city right.Getting used to people being mad at you. I suppose this also happens if you’re a dentist or an A/C repairman but I’m guessing those guys seldom if ever have people threatening to (and, in some instances, attempting to) physically injure them. Whether it’s an infidelity investigation, a bodyguarding gig, a fake injury scam or a child custody clash, in the P.I. business, most cases dictate that someone — usually the adversary of our client — ends up getting the short end of the stick. And, often, they don’t take it well.Assuming that the private investigator is also a manager or owner (keep in mind that most P.I.s are one-man-shows so the investigator, manager and owner are all the same guy), he will have another category of headaches (challenges) with which to contend. My partner and I are co-owners of our agency and have been since the beginning. We now have other investigators working for us so, although we still try to share in the fun stuff (the actual, street-level investigations) as much as possible, more and more we find ourselves dealing with the administrative challenges of the P.I. world:The paperwork. Like any business (and probably more so than some) private investigation entails a lot of paper pushing. There are certifications and licensing required, insurance, bonding, association memberships, bookkeeping, taxes, etc. And this is all just the “bureaucratic” end of it. The proposal-writing, invoicing and reporting to the clients is another huge time-eater. If you run a fairly large agency like my partner and I do, these desk-bound chores can take up the majority of your day. And trust me, no one gets into the private investigation business because they love to fill out forms!The clients can be a handful. Dealing with unreasonable, emotional and unstable clients is part of the game. I’m convinced that a private investigator draws more “difficult” (I’m trying to be diplomatic here) clients than any other professional apart from, maybe, psychiatrist. People often come to us in a very agitated state. Someone has lied to them, ripped them off or otherwise deceived them and their nerves can be pretty raw and the P.I. they hire can be a convenient target. Add to that the crazy, illegal, immoral or impossible things they see investigators do on their favorite television show (Spoiler Alert: TV’s not real) and handling some clients becomes a nightmare.The growing (largely unqualified) competition. I have no actual, statistical evidence of this but I suspect that there may be more unqualified P.I.s (aka, wannabes) than there are in all other professions combined. The reason? It’s a fantasy occupation for many kids growing up in a world that glorifies the exploits of fictional investigators like Magnum, P.I., Dirk Gently and Sherlock Holmes. Moreover, it’s an occupation that tempts newcomers to “fake it until you make it”. A teenager who dreams of being a rock star or a pro football player either has what it takes or he doesn’t. You can’t sort of be an astronaut. But anyone with a computer and a Nikon can pretend to be a well-trained, licensed, experienced investigator even if they are none of the above. They can even advertise on Facebook or Craigslist or the bulletin board at Starbucks and, perhaps, draw in some naive, paying clients. This does two things. It drives down revenue industry-wide when the newcomer operating out of his parents’ basement offers unrealistically low prices. Secondly, it damages the overall reputation of the profession when the aforementioned phonies inevitably screw up their clients’ investigations. I’ve lost track of the number of prospective clients who have told us, “I’m tempted to hire your agency but that last P.I. ripped me off bad!”For more on this topic, see my response to a previous, related Quora question: Brad Robinson's answer to How dangerous is it to be a private investigator?Home#DetectiveChallenges

I strongly recommend purchasing a tax program, Turbo tax, H&R block etc.These programs will ask you questions and they will fill out the forms for you.You just print it out and mail it in. (with a check, if you owe anything)I used to use an accountant but these programs found more deductions.

This is an opinion, not a definitive answer.If you are able — mathematics. Most of sought after and well paid jobs are based on mathematics.If not (the majority of the people are in this case) something about living successfully in society (how to fill out the tax form, how to repair your car, how to organise your finances, etc)At least learn a honest, sought after profession. Something that would offer you fiancial stability and allow you the pursuit of other dreams and ideas.Btw, the “living successfully” part can an should be a complement for any path that you take.It is listed with the idea that if you want to concentrate on it you will cover more subjects and in more detail than when it is a secondary occupation.
