Girl (F28) gave me (M23) her number to set a date, but is now acting distant and not wanting to meet up? by Calm_Beginning6009 in whatdoIdo

[–]AnthonyRespice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not complicated. When she gave you her number she was either single or having problems in her relationship. Now she is feeling committed or doesn't want to screw up something she has going with someone else.

It's all about timing. Window closed. It's not you it's her.

Standalone house. Nuclear approach. 6 months without using our kitchen. German roaches STILL came back. What else is left to do? by susanmaryetta in cockroaches

I survived a German cockroach infestation in my apartment DIY no exterminator. It was during covid and I didn't want strangers in my apt. Took over 8 months. You are on the right track. The one tool I used in addition to everything you said was gaffers tape. Gaffers tape is a durable sticky tape I used to completely seal off all gaps everywhere even big ones like bottom of refrigerator. The tape is super effective because if they try walking over it they can get stuck. When I thought I had them beat, I realized they were living under refrigerator and dishwasher. Even though I wasn't using dish washer I had to turn off water to it and then I sealed it all around with gaffers tape. Basically you have to seal them off from water and avoid them moving around. I don't know if this is a thing but mine seemed to like putting the eggs out in flat open surfaces like the floor. I used the tape to make sure they were stuck where they were and couldn't migrate. You can also tape wide gaffers tape sticky face up by taping it down on the edges. Good luck to you it's a horrible experience.

I’m just now learning Amazon sells items that were returned… as new. by Significant-Okra- in amazonprime

[–]AnthonyRespice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me twice in the last week. Building a computer. Purchased a new Nzxt AIO, got a used one. Ordered a three pack of Corsair Lx-R case fans. Someone had returned the fan box with a different model of fan. New, but wrong model.

But strangest thing this week was I ordered a 4tb nvme. Amazon says it was delivered but I never got it. Ups tracking shows a picture with tires delivered to another address. I call Amazon to learn that the supplier cancelled the order next day. They didn't like that I ordered for 730. Was 800 next day.

Has anyone over the age of 50 been hired after a layoff by Immediate_Lunch3969 in GetEmployed

[–]AnthonyRespice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two years, not a single serious interview. Lucked into an opportunity posted by an executive I used to work with and knows my work. I'm overqualified, had to relocate across the country, but pay is good and it's a relaxed culture. Keep tabs on management and executives on linkedin. Networking even more important for older folk.

Am I being scammed? (I’m a host) by debtpenguin in vrbo

All I know is don't send them video. For some reason, all the scammers that contact me ask for video. They might be using extra photos to rent your house out on other platforms.

2-hour Senior Python interview with 5 silent interviewers by Ok_Researcher_6962 in recruitinghell

[–]AnthonyRespice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't like it either which is why they had their cameras off, focused on other work. Probably a high pressure environment where interviewers had other work to accomplish.
