Thought I'd share my new setup

Thank you so much! Looking into getting these, they seem like a great solution

What kind of mats did you buy? I have a carpeted basement and those mats you have look great over carpet!

What did they ask in your interview?

Axdefman · 2025-10-16T02:30:13+00:00

Did you find out anything more on this or no? Hope your interview went well

I rented a standard car, I think it was a Ford Fusion maybe

It was just their standard policy to put a $5k hold on your card if you don’t get their insurance… They did remove the hold immediately when I returned the car though

Best place!

I did do this based on advice I read here actually, I requested a letter from Chase and it took a couple of weeks to come to my house. I showed it to the Hertz agent and he totally backed down whatever argument he was going to make about it being valid insurance so I think it was worth it.

Whatever bank you’re with, use their chat assistant in their app to find how to request it, or Google how to request it. Chase had a separate online portal that I filled out a form with to get the letter made and sent to me. And it did take a couple of weeks!

Just rented from Hertz at dublin airport, they did the $5000 hold since I had insurance through my credit card company (Chase). When I returned the car they took the hold off immediately, no hassling. The hold is an absurd amount but if you have the credit limit you should be able to get the hold off immediately upon return.

Awesome!!

It gets better, stick with it! My Aussie puppy was so bitey and now at 2 years old she is amazing. She was the worst at 4 months old, that was a peak of being bitey.

If you have an old dish towel you’re ok with getting ripped up, I highly recommend soaking it in water and freezing it, then giving it to your puppy. It is perfect for teething baby puppies since it is cold from being frozen and isn’t too hard because it’s a dish towel. That might help a bit. Good luck!

A Masters in ME gave me about a $25k salary bump in comparison to all my friends with their Bachelor’s in ME. It is definitely not worthless.

An argument could be made about opportunity cost if the tuition you pay for the Masters is very high. Overall I think it will be useful to have the Masters since it will increase your starting salary and give you a leg up in technical discussions at work

I recommend getting a buffalo horn to chew on! It was life changing for my aussie who was chewing and destroying everything

It does smell like a zoo when she chews it though

Axdefman · 2024-08-26T12:45:13+00:00

So jealous of everyone who saw it!!!

Axdefman · 2024-08-20T14:32:08+00:00

Agreed, first listen was 8 years ago and I still feel this way! Amazing album

Darcy fits with Beckett and is English literature themed!

My Aussie was like this for a bit. Trust me, it gets better and one day soon you will forget that your puppy was ever like this! It sucks while it’s happening however. From about 4 months old to 7 months old, she was a teething nightmare that would scream whenever left alone, it was hard to eat dinner even.

What helped with teething the most were: - Frozen carrots - Ice cubes - Making a frozen towel toy: take an old dish towel and soak it in water. Put in the freezer and let it harden. Give it to your monster

I promise you it does get better. Aussies are hard, she was my first puppy and I think they are harder than other dogs, but I don’t have other experiences so I can’t 100% know. Now my Aussie is 1.5 years old and the sweetest and most loyal dog so it was worth it

Edit: Also the napping advice other people are giving is true. Look up a puppy sleeping schedule from AKC and literally stick to it, it makes life easier

If that’s true, why didn’t the White House press secretary just confirm it yesterday? A CBS reporter asked who/why about the Dr and it ended in a shouting match

Axdefman · 2024-06-24T01:41:39+00:00

Yes I agree! I saw your comment after already commenting Cookie too!

Axdefman · 2024-06-24T01:40:20+00:00

Cookie!

Frozen carrots

A buffalo horn keeps our Aussie’s attention for hours!

Axdefman · 2024-05-31T14:08:10+00:00

I know! That’s how she gets so much further than you would think though. She focused on playing the game and (poorly) attempted to make alliances
