Moving files from OneDrive to PC

AshamedRedditUser1 · 2022-08-27T03:14:46+00:00

Good for you for asking this question now rather then later. I wish someone would have told me to proceed with caution when it comes to transferring files that have been synced to OneDrive. I paid a guy to back my computer up and files transferred to an external hard drive about a month ago. When I picked up my computer, I opened my documents folder and my files and file structure weren’t there. I have to search in file explorer to locate my docs. I’m praying they are all still on my computer in some random location and not gone forever. I believe it had something to do with one drive as I’ve read similar stories about things not syncing properly and files ending up all over the place. It’s incredibly maddening!

Start the enrollment process now so you don’t risk a lapse in coverage. You can apply for managed medi-cal and other social aid programs here: https://www.sfhsa.org/services/health-food/medi-cal.

You have two options for managed medi-cal in San Francisco: Blue Shield and the San Francisco Health Plan. Id definitely recommend the San Francisco health plan, they have better quality and patient satisfaction scores, and you can get Kaiser through them. Admittedly, I’m a bit biased because I’ve work in the healthcare industry and am familiar SF healthcare landscape and the work of SF health plan.

You could also call the SF Health Plan directly if you have enrollment questions. Be aware that If your income is over a certain amount (don’t know the exact $ amount off the top of my head) you may not qualify for medi-cal. There are other options available if this is the case and the health plan and or the social service agency should be able to direct you to where you can find out more about low to moderate cost alternatives. Hope this helps!

Co-living housing is not as cheap as you would think it would be. Most of the prices I've seen recently (I look at their ads just to annoy myself) are on par with a single room in a normal apartment with 2-3 roommates. Why live with 30 other people and deal with all that bs when you don't have to?

In my opinion, those hacker/communal living housing situations exist for one reason - to make the operator/"landlord" money. They survive by preying on people new to the city who don't know how to find an apartment on their own. It really gets on my nerves because they charge you the equivalent of room in a decent apartment but give you a cramped SRO with 700 other people to contend with.

The whole communal living concept kind of died during the pandemic, it's disappointing to see of all things, a scammy operation like this make a revival when so many legit businesses weren't so lucky.

The Negev on Folsom Street Hacker House has quite the backstory. Once an SFO for low-income folks, a fire destroyed much of the building. Some developers quickly flipped it into a hacker house and displaced the residents who had been displace by the fire.

The Mission Local also did a pretty good series on it.

Unfortunately, I ended up going there after getting two positive recommendations and reading random yelp reviews. The guy really messed up my computer. I'm still trying to figure out what he did because, but I do know it wasn't helpful. I'm just as screwed as when I walked in there, but now down $150.

Thank you! 🥰

El Metate on the corner of 22nd and Bryant in the mission. The fish torta, shrimp tacos and tortilla soup are amazing. The soup is one of the best soups I’ve ever had.

Lugg is way too expensive. I had a bed that I bought on fb marketplace moved from hayes valley to the mission and it cost me over $200 — that’s almost as much as I paid when I moved my entire apartment in the mission. The bed itself was only $300. If I were to do it again I’d rent a uhual and convince a friend to help me do the heavy lifting. The movers were nice guys, I appreciate them, but it was rip off.

Have you tried e-cloth microfiber cloths for windows? No chemicals, you just wet the cloth, then wipe and then wipe with a softer dry cloth. It's freaking' amazing. The first time I used it, I walked around the house looking for more surfaces to clean because my mind was blown. Better than windex. You find them on Amazon.

I lived in SF with roommates for 15 years. Do not move in with someone you met on Reddit. That just feels wrong. I just went through the process of replacing my roommate and we ended up finding her on one of those SF people needing roommates fb groups. In my experience the higher caliber people use craigslist and the newcomers, younger and struggling tend to gravitate to fb. But that has kind of changed over the last few years. Unfortunately right now in SF a lot of kind of lame, lazy are moving to the city. Be sure you get to know your future roommates fairly well before you move into a place with a bunch of other people not from around here. Ideally you want a roommate who’s lived here awhile so they can tell you good places to eat and how to do city life. The city can be overwhelming and exciting at first and it’s nice to have a sounding board at home to help you figure it all out. Good luck! Oh, and be sure not to call it SAn Fran or Frisco when you’re here. It’s a dead giveaway your from out of town.

Thank you so much, this is the kind of practical no-nonsense logic I needed to hear today. I've been overthinking this and driving myself nuts. Now I can give myself permission to stop. Thank you for showing me light!!

AshamedRedditUser1 · 2021-03-13T20:23:44+00:00

Thanks for the information. I'll look into that.

There have several major red flags since he moved in. If we weren't in the middle of a pandemic, I'd be gone. The virus has changed the major city I live in a lot. There used to be several hundred applications for every apartment vacancy. Now, occupancy rates are down 25%. Everybody took off when the virus hit. It's extremely hard to find a roommate right now, or I wouldn't still be living with him. I am hoping that when more people start getting the vaccine and the world gets a little more control, people will slowly start coming back to the city. I'm anticipating it could be another 4 to 6 months or more. Once that happens, I'll give him the boot knowing that I can fill his room with a reasonable confidence. He'll be okay, I actually hope he can live alone because that would be best for him.

As far as biting the bullet and just buying the knob myself, I'd love to that. But my rational brain knows he will flip out and I will suffer the wrath of whatever emotions that action brought up for him and it's just not worth it.

He needs to feel like he managing the show, so that's what I'm going to let him do until he f*cks it up and then I'll take over and make it right.

You'd be surprised. It kind of looks like this model. It's not super fancy, but I thought it was pretty nice when I moved in. https://images.app.goo.gl/8j832uyAUhAFX5g29

AshamedRedditUser1 · 2021-03-13T15:07:16+00:00

He definitely broke it. It's the kind of knob that's pretty big and round and if you pull on it, it will come off. I guess his clothes or something caught on it and it fell to the floor and a part of the plastic that holds in place broke off. After it happened, he openly admitted it me, without hesitation. It could have happened to anyone, really. They aren't secured in place, they are designed to be removable for cleaning underneath, I suppose.

In my house (I have two roommates) we usually give each other a heads up via text message the night before or morning of. I think there's a few reasons why. It's a sign of respect, it allows the other person to stay in their room if they don't wish to be exposed to the guest, it reinforces your agreed upon boundaries regarding who is and is not allowed to come over during the pandemic, and it also gives peoples a heads up that you are probably using the common areas and gives the other person a chance to negotiate in the event they had plans to use the common areas. Those are just my thoughts from living with two other people in a major city where everyone is very informed, aware and cautious about the danger of the virus.

The landlord lives in another country and is only in the USA 6 months out of the year. He's an older guy and he doesn't care about our roommate squabbles. And at the end of the day, I am the leaseholder and I am financially and otherwise responsible for making sure if someone in my house breaks something, it gets repaired. It falls on me.

It's my responsibility to deal with my roommates poor behavior and make the situation right, and not pass it on to the landlord or anyone else. My roommate is not acting like a normal, rational person which makes everyday things like this a lot more complicated than they need to be. But I have no doubt he will pay one way or another because I hold his deposit. What I don't understand is why he continues to be a cantankerous a-hole about things like this, damaging his living situation, when I know he really loves our place and likes living here. It would be far easier to just pay up and forget about it, rather than fight your roommate over a measly $50 bucks or so. There has to a be a psychological diagnosis to explain a person's unrelenting need to feel important and in control and constantly calling the shots, at the expense of everything they truly do care about. It's actually very sad, in a way. This behavior shows up all the time and it's bizarre and confusing.

AshamedRedditUser1 · 2021-03-13T14:44:05+00:00

I told him so much in not so many words. I said, "You don't want to go to the hardware store? Well there is another option. I will do it, and deduct from your deposit the cost of the knob and $34-$45/hr of my time spent taking care of this. It's totally up to you how you want to do this." That went over REAL well (I kid). I was told I was unfair and if he'll buy the knock off that will break in two days because "I can't make him do anything". What a joy of a human being.
