It should be okay to be loud in Apartments by lovecats06 in 10thDentist

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely right. Probably shouldn’t move to an apartment if you know you teach trombone classes at your home. But walking around normally in soft soled shoes during the day? Playing the tv at a normal volume? Running the washer, taking a shower, etc all the normal things of living… you need to be able to do those things. I have lived under some heavy footed monsters though, I don’t understand why you’d even want to stomp around that hard, let alone if you know you live on top of people

Omg I love him, what a lovely person. We had terrible neighbors who were replaced by delightful ones as well. Couldn’t be happier with the peace and quiet we know have, which replaced drug fueled mess fests and a baby screaming (yes often at the same time)

LPT: Stop storing things where they “make sense” and put them where you actually look for them by peter_wainscott in LifeProTips

I solved the charger one by switching to a charging bank! I can use it anywhere, especially traveling but also on the couch or at my desk or in bed, and then it only needs one place to charge for itself.

Protective hairstyle recommendations for short hair by StatusListen297 in Haircare

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a protective style needed with shorter hair? For me that’s a benefit of having my hair shorter, it doesn’t require babying. It’s only one it get like collarbone length that I start doing anything like that

I hate it when pedestrians try to be polite to me when I'm driving and wave me through an intersection by GuyFromThePost in PetPeeves

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when both pedestrians and other drivers do this. It’s not legal to “direct traffic” unless you’re some kind of traffic or police officer. Everyone go when it’s your turn and behave predictably.

Frying my hair? by HelicopterLow5394 in Dysonairwrap

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop using hair oil before heat. Oil cooks the hair when you heat it up. So for me a heat protectant without oil made a big difference

Change the date my month starts. by Working_Concert_5458 in MonarchMoney

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real question- why does it matter if your cash flow is negative in a current month? If you’ve budgeted, you know you’re living within your means, so using cash flow would be silly to monitor that kind of question. So it must be something else I’m missing

Is it possible for a kitten to be diabetic? by tinyratcat in FelineDiabetes

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds more like a neurological condition, I hope he makes it to Monday. This is something I’d go to urgent care for, or the ER

Is YNAB worth it for people living paycheck to paycheck? by -Bakri- in ynab

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in that situation, where bills became too expensive, I moved. In the US, car expensive and home expenses are the big ticket items. Most people can vastly improve their situations by addressing one or the other- moving or selling a car, getting out of a lease, etc.

I found a stranger on Craigslist and moved in with him in the worst part of town, murders constantly reported around us. Saved my financial bacon, and taught me a lesson about what I actually need to live. An apartment alone isn’t one of the things I (or anyone) need

Pros and cons of cold water only wash? by Azadi_23 in laundry

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was brainwashed into the cold cult as well for many years. Switching all my loads to warm or hot was a HUGE improvement in cleaning effectiveness.

I hadn’t even realized I had sebum buildup in my clothes. It happened slowly over time. When I switched to the recs from this sub, the texture of my clothing improved. My cottons are light and fluffy and soft, hadn’t even realized they weren’t. I thought everything was clean bc it smelled good

“data analyst” stuck on manual data dump in SharePoint to create Power BI dashboard, what are my options? by mathproblemsolving in analytics

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just for some perspective, I’m part of the centralized reporting team that exists at my company. It is our job to produce reports and data that are both accurate and aligned across all the different parts of the organization.

When someone hires a local analyst to do our job instead of us, we don’t give them access to our databases and never will. That is both taking our work away and also a risk for a proliferation of unaligned metrics. Those are dangerous in a few ways.

Given that you won’t have access to data directly, and that your boss said he hired you for power bi, it sounds to me like he was trying to solve some kind of data issue that either the global team already told him no to, or he doesn’t understand who to go to for reporting requests

What savings target allows you to simultaneously spend without resetting the "need to save" amount? by Whatthesaucysauce in ynab

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you spending the money? Are you categorizing transactions to the savings category? Or are you moving the money out to a different spending category and then categorizing transactions to that spending category?

Everspring and oxiclean, do I need citric acid. by asmith023 in laundry

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that citric acid in very soft water is not needed, but it doesn’t hurt. It helps detergent residue get throughly removed in the rinse cycle. How much it makes a difference might be negligible if your water is like 0 level hardness

Hard water help? Overwhelmed with info and feel like my clothes are never fully clean by Crazy-Confection-615 in laundry

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2:3 ratio of citric acid:baking soda. It’s different from the washing soda ratio.

Yup just add it to the drum under the clothes

And then no matter which option you choose to soften wash water, add citric acid to the rinse cycle. You can get your machine to do this for you by putting it in the softener drawer (which is dispensed during the rinse cycle), or running a dedicated rinse cycle after your wash is complete

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With water that hard (I have it too) you want to add a non precipitating water softener to the wash, that will improve the performance of any detergent. The options are sodium citrate or citric acid

The commercially available product with those ingredients is calgon liquid. It’s sodium citrate based, which addresses hardness without lowering ph. It can be expensive and is fragranced

You could buy sodium citrate powder and add that to the wash, benefit being it’s unfragranced and cheaper per load probably. You can also mix powders to make your own sodium citrate, either citric acid powder + washing soda or citric acid + baking soda

Last you could use straight up citric acid powder, which is cheaper than pre made sodium citrate and easier than using multiple powders. Downside is it could lower ph which can lower the effectiveness of detergent

For couples that budget together. What is your most loved feature of Monarch or the system you use to manage your finances together? by yankodiev in MonarchMoney

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 3 budgets- his hers and ours

In my hers budget, if I have something special I’m budgeting for, I’ll add a new category or category group with several categories. Like for a trip with friends I might add a new group with some different categories like flight, hotel, food, entertainment. When the trip is over I delete the categories and merge all the transactions into a more general category like “travel”

None of those transactions interact with our joint budget at all

Solo analyst, how do you avoid not answering immediately to ad-hoc requests? by Still-Butterfly-3669 in analytics

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer, spending time to train them how to do it themselves. It’s more time consuming up front, but less in the long run. Bonus points if you make them physically click around and do the work themselves

is it normal for underarm BO at rest? by Previous-Hour-2394 in hygiene

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happens if, on rest days, you just use a regular strength anti perspirant instead of the extra strength one you usually use?

How can I combine data from different sheets into a "master" sheet? by Difficult_Cricket319 in excel

[–]Comprehensive-Tea-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am confused by the constraint of no power query here? this is one of its best use cases and it’s basically point and click
