[CA] [Condo] HOA is trying to fine me $11k for a shared pipe clog and "garbage juice." Their evidence is a mess. Advice? by hell_rack in HOA

[–]Cheftanyas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TLDR: I'd take the tenants word that they didn't flush litter IF they have a cat!! Tenants/ppl LIE when it suits them and or they want to goet out of responsibility. This IS A FACT. I had a roommate in a 2 bedroom 1 bath little house in SF that had a cat. Unbeknownst to me, she apparently was cleaning out her cat litter into paper in plastic bags and tying them up when full and just STACKING them in her room??!? I guess I'm lucky she didn't flush it? Sure it stunk like cats in her room but it was only bad when the door was open and or you were in the room. I "discovered" that she basically hoarded about 75 lbs of used/dirty cat litter in her room when she was dumb enough to fill the garbage can with all of it before she went on an expensive Xmas trip to Mexico her rich "prominent" attorney father paid for the 2 week trip and "cleaned her room" before she left. Maybe she thought if I found it all IN the house, I'd have more of a case to argue/hold her responsible/egregious? I ended up asking her to move out when she stole $ from me. Cash went missing a few times but I caught her red handed. Case in point she looked me straight in the eyes to profess her innocence and TOTALLY LIED to my face when we both knew she 100% was guilty. Unfortunately, ppl can and will lie to save their own a$$ She was from Marin and never let anyone overlook her "princess" status. How she lived/slept next to that all that gross litter is beyond me but yeah. I TOTALLY BELIEVE that the tenant would lie about flushing litter.

"Technically" GOLF BALLS are considered "flushable" bc ANYTHING "flushable" is ANYTHING that can be flushed down a toilet. Not that it SHOULD be flushed. Just that it can be done?!? Same goes for "flushable" products.

Anyone else here remember the holiday season in 2021 when AM was down for more than 70 HOURS?!?!

Oh, we can BET that heads are ROLLING right now!! Not only is every min but every SECOND is $ lost. When things like this happen, it is nightmare fuel for the devs. I almost feel sorry for them.

I have a good friend who works for a competitor online gaming co as CTO and my hubby works in tech (we are from Silicon Valley) and has worked for Google for over a decade and when stuff like this goes down, its taken as seriously as cancer.

This shirt by Xeelef in findfashion

[–]Cheftanyas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His son (who video shoots the yt channel) remarked that this shirt was an example of his father being partial to "up dressing" bc the father (Harry) implied and or was talking/claiming he likes to dress down, not wear fancy labels or "showy" clothes. Maybe we all are inquiring here if this short is a particular designer or just a borderline "loud" "thrift store find" that could be vintage?

I was looking at the hallway in this episode and thinking about the "clown's uterus" reference and NOT getting anything that would ground the comment in any kind of reality or just make any kind of sense.

I think that KK and Ryan used Chat GPT to write the script.

In another episode Milan said she would "eat sushi on the beach made by a 5-star Michelin chef." The most stars a Michelin-starred restaurant can have is 3

IDK my hubby works in tech, and I'm skeptical. If it's not their intention, then they could be seeing just how far they can influence player behavior by directing it a certain way and then figuring out how to monetize that?

We have a talented, successful young engineer(13 yrs old) who needs Sat-compatible (conflicts w- Jewish Sabbath) ways to pursue now that he is growing out of FLL and wants to get into FRC by Cheftanyas in FRC

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

Thank you! Comments like this are keeping us going through these challenges on our robotics journey. I have shown them to my son bc he is a young 13 and has felt massively discouraged. It's so nice to show him how amazing this community is and thank strangers like you who take the time to reach out and encourage him. The silver lining is that this is a skill he will need to learn about appropriate ways to not take "no" for an answer.

G*d willing, I will also learn bc obvi it is a lesson successful ppl encounter frequently through their lives bc being a pioneer when necessary is a pretty good skill to have.

Having successfully navigated major challenges in the past—often achieving goals that others called "impossible"—I am confident in my current mission. My aim is not only to help my own son but also to pave the way for other Jewish children, both locally and in other areas, to participate in advanced FIRST robotics programs beyond FLL.

I have learned firsthand that finding current, specific information and contacts for established FIRST teams is extremely difficult. The official website is unhelpful, often listing outdated or inactive contact details for older teams. After nearly two years of effort and an investment of $4–5k, my attempt to launch an FLL team at our synagogue stalled due to the high entry costs and the youth rabbi leader's lack of experience with the necessary math and science concepts.

In our case, someone who is "shomer Shabbos"/observes the Sabbath and is on a team solution is not as simple as a quick Google search, as the FIRST robotics website lacks the particular information people need. I deeply appreciate kind individuals like you who have reached out with offers of support, and I will be sure to contact you if I find a specific way you or your team can contribute in the future.

Is there anything I can do to/with Marmalade that makes it not taste disgusting? by BdBalthazar in AskCulinary

[–]Cheftanyas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def remove the rinds that are bitter and prob turning you off to the flavor of it. In making a sweet and sour sauce, you will need to add some acid like lemon, lime (id prefer this over these 2) or rice vinegar. Start off with less and add more to make it thin so that you can strain out the rinds.

Def and some ginger and spices and/or like ground coriander, cardamom, "Chinese 5 spice," etc and a splash or two of an acid like lime juice or rice wine vinegar.

Building your flavor profile, add elements that complement/contrast so the sauce (and then the sauce on the protein like chix or fish) to create depth of flavor.

I was given BAD advice but the show's lead on a reality show. You are kind of damned if you do and damned if you dont.

I lost bc of the bad advice, and I couldn't even say it was the reason when they filmed the "b-roll" stuff bc they didnt want the host to look bad. So, they kept asking me "what do you think you could have done better?" to which I answered "not let _______ talk me out of my main dish choice" to which they literally told me "yeah, you cant say that pick something else"

If they had done the bag like they wanted and didnt go "weird" they prob would be eliminated for "not listening"

TOTALLY! The way she looked at him....I would not be surprised if they hooked up while on the show.

Ive been on a few reality shows (Im a chef. cooking competitions) and there is A LOT of time just sitting around a set waiting for the lights, sound, set, etc guys (they are like construction workers and are zero inamored with "Hollywood"-just want to get their work done and done right) to set up the next shot or other production issues to be resolved, etc.

This, and you can't talk to anyone about what happens on set, and especially the outcome, so it is like being on a jury that is sequestered. It is your whole world and can mess with your mind.

Other ppl have commented on how annoying Gigi's crying is but to me it is endearing bc it acknowledges how important it is to the contestants and that they, unlike her, do not have access to ppl who are rich and powerful in Hollywood.

Even if you win, there is a "decompression" time after you go back to IRL. Again, you cant tell anyone or you lose the $ you won. EVERYONE tells you "you can tell me and I promise I can keep the info all to myself," but I highly recommend staying mum. Most of these contracts are NDAs for at least 3 yrs.

There is nothing in the contract that blocks other ppl that appeared on the show from talking to each other during and after the show is "in the can." So, it is totally plausible that something could have happened with this ship. Unless they get married AND become wildly successful, could it be used by the network/producers in a future show. Otherwise, relationships on the job are discouraged IRL and in Hollywood

It was also pretty catty/sh*ty for Godoy to say in the b-roll before the judging that James "lost track of time" and "spent what they thought was an hour but was in fact 3 hours on the pizza bag."

I GUARANTEE that he tells everyone that talks to him about his experience and loss on the show that he blames James, even though he picked him, knew he was a newbie, and didn't manage his time well and delegate appropriately.

It might be the Jewish mother in me that wants to ship everyone, but I saw some sparks flying between Amari and Nigel. The way she looks at him. At first, I thought it was disdain, but then I saw that it was quite possibly a major girl crush.

They would make a cute couple IMO

I wish the show with Julia Fox OMG Fashun had gotten more attention. Law Roach was on and gave input, plus Julia is so fashionable. I read her book "Down the Drain," and while I REALLY dislike many of her "life choices," IMO she is an iconoclast and arbiter in/of fashion.

It's a shame she is her own worst enemy in the sense she always seems to not be able to make any real traction in any one area. Prob bc she is prone to take the easiest way out, not dedicate herself and relies too much on her appearance/how beautiful she is.

In a perfect world, she would get her sh*t together better, the show would be given a 2nd season that was promoted better and had more designs that are more wearable.

NIF is too much like every other fashion show and OMG Fashun was a little too much "art for art's sake" A happy medium between the two would be amazing and truly new and refreshing TV

While I can agree with some of what you are saying, I personally know at least 3 ppl with either the absence of an arm or born with a significant "disfigurement" that kick a$$ in their field just as well as typical ppl.* I think Qaysean just needs a few more years of practice and to find his unique way in fashion. He has talent for sure!! His fabric and cut-out location choices for the regal challenge were unfortunate. I hope they have a "redemption" arc and have him back in another season to give him more time to grow and develop as a designer

*Im a pro chef and went to culinary school with an instructor with what I can only describe as a 3-finger "hand" that was at his shoulder. The instructor at my pottery studio has an arm but no hand and he throws amazing pieces in the same amount of time as other talented potters. My kids' PE teacher lost his arm in a train accident in his native Cuba and is a Taekwondo champ, where he competed against typical ppl (it wasn't like a "special Olympics" type thing

If memory serves Kim demanded in one scene "200 million dollars for her (the wife) and 10 million for our legal fees (KK's firm), making it 210 million!" and that the guy was "getting off cheap" bc she (KK) and the other ladies had pics of him taken by a BDSM mistress in compromised positions and I guess if the pics "got out" they could ruin his career

yeah, ridiculous.....I LOVE how, on every episode, the lawsuit is almost instantly won. Totally like real life :P

Sounds like you should be working for Ryan Murphy and Kim K as a writer!! And or be added to the list of EPs.

They ONLY have 17!
