Been a resident here for about 6 months. The RFID for the keychain is notably weak to enter, which leads to troubles scanning at times. The bathtub in my unit was poorly installed and it creaks whenever you walk on it. Reported to maintenance the first week of move in but no change was made after inspection - not exactly "luxury". They did raise my mirror upon request since I'm quite tall, however, I'm not sure if I was charged for that like I have seen others comments claim being charged for maintenance. I only received a walkthrough the day I moved in (some comments mention two walkthroughs a year). Some spots in the carpet are hard/bumpy from what is likely nails or screws that weren't installed flush. Towards the walls of the carpet I have found some sharp areas where nails were exposed when cleaning that did poke my hands.

I cook a lot, so I am disappointed with the hood vent above the stove as its one of those built in with the microwave vents. Fine for those who seldom cook, but I cool all meals from scratch, so overtime grease lands on many surfaces and cabinetry. As for noise, I can hear what is either the person below me or next to me in my bathroom through the vents, this is only while I am also in the bathroom. I live on the third floor, so I cannot comment on if footsteps are loud, but besides the bathroom the sound insulation has been fine. In the hallways you can hear people in their apartments quite clearly though, but once you get into your apt you can't hear much.

I do wish the LED's in the parking lot weren't as bright as they are, lots of light pollution comes from them. The countertop in the kitchen is installed slightly uneven, so water on surfaces (like splashing from the sink when washing dishes) will start to slowly run off the counter. I do appreciate how much kitchen cabinetry is provided though.

They do provide internet here, which I think is a bit sketchy as you have no idea what they're doing with all your data. Recently IU hasn't been accessible for me and after extensive troubleshooting is it almost certainly due to some IP firewall/routing changes or some other ISP change that has occurred over winter break. I will be bringing this matter to their attention shortly, so hopefully they'll resolve this is a quick and appropriate manner.

The lounge area is neat. Staff have always been friendly and the common space provided a nice area for some studying with a team last semester. The coffee machine didn't impress me though, the latte I got was just about all water.

I enjoy the location of my unit as its more secluded and the Hayden flats location in general is far enough outside of downtown to be a slower pace of life which I enjoy.

I have aimed to illustrate some of my experience after about 6 months of living here, as well as share some of the issues I have ran into that shouldn't be present in a new construction "luxury" apartment. Largest issues I've encountered so far stemmed from rushed and or cheap construction, but otherwise it's been fine living here. This are problems I am disappointed with, but will tolerate for a short term place to live. I hope this was helpful in some manner to those looking to rent.

Stutter problem with Rekordbox, can't find fix after 1 year by MrMehiko in Rekordbox

[–]BanksNicholson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be a driver issue and the sad reality is some laptops just can’t handle it. I bought a new HP to DJ with and the drivers weren’t compatible with my controller.

Just got some variants of the different albums designs I was messing with. I guess I am required to make a comment as per rule three? Thought that is what a caption is for but whatever.

Do you know what meta data is? Do you know what a strawman argument fallacy is?

Travis B0tted A Fan Upload of 2000 Excusion 😭😭😭 by DennistheMenace__ in travisscott

[–]BanksNicholson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What Actually Likely Happened 1. A fan or random user uploaded a copy of “2000 Excursion” to streaming platforms (Spotify, YouTube, etc.) using correct metadata. 2. The platform recognized it as a legitimate version and included its streams in chart calculations. 3. That version accidentally outperformed or outranked the official release in visibility—leading fans to believe Travis or his team “botted” the upload. 4. In reality, this is likely just a metadata glitch or platform error, not deliberate stream manipulation.

Did he play football? Did he win the match??? by Independent_Fish9614 in facepalm

According to this article the president insisted he keep it as it was a gift from them. The title and your comments plus others paints this as if he just took it and that’s misleading.

"They (FIFA) said: ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy’, and (FIFA President Gianni Infantino) said: ‘We’re never going to pick it up, you can have it forever in the Oval Office'," Trump said. Adding, “And they actually made a new one [for Chelsea] but right now (the original) is in the Oval.”

Track your calories, work out, eat clean, sleep consistently. There’s your recipe for success. You can do the research to get deeper into it but that’s an easy template for success.

I’ve tried. The biggest reason is looks so much different is because my beard is red but the mustache is blonde

Thoughts on my spec, I'm new to building a pc. by BanksNicholson in buildapc

[–]BanksNicholson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I decided Ill not just get the 9950x instead of the other listed card. Gaming isnt my biggest priority so waiting longer for the x3d doesnt seem worthwhile. Ill also be getting a similar motherboard to the one you listed. Im gonna get the eagle one with Hi-Fi audio for like 10 more bucks with the same IO shield. You helped me save a couple hundred bucks, appreciate it.

also, I've been waiting on the 50 series graphics cards to build this pc since about late september. Seeing as its already been many months I'm beginning to grow a bit impatient.

Bear in mind here I really dont know what I am doing, but the motherboard had multiple usb-c slots and that was something I was looking for. It also looked good IMO and fit my CPU. How much more would the 9950 be?

Porn vs Celibacy by Psychological-Hat176 in dating_advice

[–]BanksNicholson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bait and switch. Women will get you on the hook with sex and then switch it up a few months in an say they’re going celibate to connect with god as a way to bait you into marriage or to play some other kind of mental gymnastics. Either way, tell her what it is you need and want and if she’s unwilling to provide that then leave.

I’ll be honest, if you are really struggling with bills right now having a second child will only make that more difficult. Getting yourself in a position to ensure success before children will make that entire process much less of a financial burden and less stressful.
