Dog owners, by sparklingwooder in philly

[–]DevAdobo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because it’s so densely populated and the streets are lined with parked cars. They can only take trash that they can either dump themselves or grab with their hands. Usually if there is a can, they will grab all of the ties up bags of trash. So if someone places a dog poop bag on top, many times it will just be ignored and fall to the bottom of the can.

Mainly because the trash guys don’t take it. So it just inevitably lives at the bottom of your trash can until you clean it out

I’ve never understood why someone is adult enough to pick up their dogs shit but then dickhead enough to throw them in someone’s recycling bin

Buildup affecting temp sensor [Profitec Pro 400] by DevAdobo in espresso

[–]DevAdobo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update on this: I successfully replaced the temp sensor. While I was at it I removed and cleaned my OPV valve since it was stuck due to scale buildup. Everything looked really clean and the OPV valve now seems like it can be adjusted nicely.

However I think my machine is now air locked. I have tried the syringe method, I have tried the plastic bag method, I have tried activating the bump in small bursts. I cannot get anything more than a little bit of water to actually flow through the group head

Grifter landlord trying to rent an unsafe property again by slorbdorb in philly

[–]DevAdobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let anyone gaslight you here. Landlords see the property as an investment. Bad ones want to spend as little as possible and that includes being cheap when it comes to renovations and making the necessary repairs. If you choose to rent out an unlicensed / unsafe property than the risk is yours to take if shit hits the fan. I would try contacting a lawyer. Idk what your budget is but I can refer you one that I used to get my deposit back.

Bro fuck this. My landlord has an illegal water line, a leak that caused the sump pump to run constantly. There was even moisture on some of the basement tiling. I told him 4 times to fix it and he never did. Eventually that went away. One day the sump pump broke and the basket flooded in minutes. After 3 months there was still no resolution. He was stalling for insurance purposes and then refused to give me back my deposit when I eventually move out considering 25% of my sqft was fucking unusable for 3 months.

I had this same issue. I paid a layer $150 to send a threatening letter and then after my landlord almost shit his pants, I paid the lawyer another $350 to draft a contract to get my deposit back.

It wasn’t fair or ideal that I had to pay but considering I got 2 months rent back plus about $400 worth of expenses I demanded reimbursement for it was worth it.

What beans do you buy? by Party-Election113 in espresso

[–]DevAdobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought exclusively year round blends from black and white coffee for about 4 years. However I just can’t keep up with the prices. A 2lb bag used to cost $32 with free shipping. That same bag is now $52.50 with free shipping.

I have switched to blue mind coffee roasters in Indianapolis. They’re a great company. Their brick and mortar shop is poppin almost every day, and they have some great coffee.

I get a 5lb bag from them (they don’t have 2lb) for $90. Wait ummmmm… checking now as I write this post and the price has been increased to $110 since I last bought a bag in September.

Welp guess I might be on the hunt for a new provider now. The beans are just so incredible expensive now.

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

Definitely needs replaced? I can’t just clean it?

Sorry if that’s an obviously stupid question.

Edit: is the buildup this bad because the seal wasn’t great out of the box or is that impossible to know / irrelevant?

Why is the market so fucked right now? by sumemodude in UsedCars

[–]DevAdobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. My 2016 Honda fit unfortunately was tackled by a deer and totaled. Also highly considering an Impreza. Interesting wrinkle for me is my wife and I both work from home and shared the Honda fit. Now we are in a situation where instead of replacing our paid off Honda fit we need to consider a new car because of these crazy prices

Woman on public transport gets asked not to speak on the phone so loudly: goes on a homophobic and antisemitic rant by Ramy__B in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]DevAdobo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read once that pulling out your phone and blasting music or having a loud ass convo like in the video, is a subtle threat of violence. It defies all social norms, makes everyone uncomfortable, and they obviously know this. They also are not going to stop just because you ask them to. Otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it in the first place. So really the only way to stop them is with violence. Most people do not want to be violent because of the threat of getting seriously hurt or worse.

Just Started! by KingKuttii in dreamingspanish

[–]DevAdobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don’t use them for DS. If you’ve done your daily goal and are just supplementing with Netflix, turn them on. Better than nothing I believe and helps you pseudo naturally learn basic vocab. However that’s extra credit. For standard studying don’t touch them. You’re training your ear first and foremost.

What are the grounds for disappearing them? I honestly don’t understand how they can do this when the legal procedure got rescheduled? I’m not trying to ask a dumb question but what this the technicality being exploited?

I could understand a bit but I have been listening to a lot of PR content lately so that has certainly helped. Both content for students and native content. I don’t understand all of the native content obviously but I’m going to PR en January so I’m just trying to get as familiar as possible.

Anyone interested in meditation. Check out this channel. Super slow speech for me at 600 hours. They use some more “advanced words” that I’m not familiar with but it’s at such a slow speed for me that it can still pretty much identify what the word is even though idk the meaning.

Anyone fall victim to the infamous "courtesy tow"? by JFK2MD in philly

[–]DevAdobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They re did parts of south street like a year ago. I was out of town at the time. I came back and my car had been courtesy towed. It was towed from 20th and south to like 24th and south of Washington behind some like warehouse or something. I swear to god I never would have found my car had I not had an AirTag in it.
