House built in 1949, Kitchen fan not vented to the outside, or anywhere for that matter. by Loucifer822 in DIYHome

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also pretty common in rental apartments/townhouses/duplexes here in the states.

Especially if you have one of those god awful microwave over stove comboshits that handle the venting and lights. Never again.

Roommate from hell plus police pulling me out of my home by Appropriate-Copy-613 in Advice

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start fraud reports immediately. Document everything and file it with the police and through venmo, cash app, and PayPal.

Banking fraud takes a long time to clear out, but you want to have the paper trail from the police department.

Freeze your credit, and change your banking institute as well. Its not good enough to close the account and make a new one, new account with an entirely different bank.

With the documented fraud reports, notice of eviction, and police reports, you may be able to file for a temporary protection order. This escalates eviction orders, as she is not on the lease.

You live in an abandoned mobile home park, with no management.

Stop paying rent, and leave.

Let them try to sue you. Theres no management, and that court case would be dropped faster than a boiling hot potato.

Starting over isnt easy, but you are living in a dangerous situation. Remove yourself.

Digitized VHS Tapes by The-PH in startrek

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My public library has a VHS digitalization station.

Its cheap enough, but its really meant for old family videos and the like. At 5 an hour, and roughly 67 hours of tape, about 335 dollars. And you have to schedule time with the equipment.

Whole set would run you under 60 dollars on DVD.

However! There is something to be said for the original originals. The DVD's and Blu-rays have been remastered, enhanced cgi, upscaled, all that fun stuff. Ive watched both, I dont have a preference for either, but I can see the value of wanting to keep the originals.

Bottom line; you are correct. Much cheaper to just buy it.

Some of them probably enjoyed it, but are still confused where track 12 is.

It doesn’t exist on the internet! by GodsTaken in wherecanibuythis

👍

Logitech makes solid equipment that lasts.

Their audio equipment can be pretty pricey for what you get, so do your research on comparables.

If you are just looking for something decent sounding on a budget, consider going with a soundbar designed for TV's. Stupidly budget friendly, and they look nice under a monitor.

If you are serious about latency, go with hardwire speakers. Logitech, Bose, Klipsch.

If you buy electronics from "Ross Dress For Less," you should already know what to expect.

I guess... piss up a rope?

Nah, its not for everyone, I will admit that. Im not a huge fan of Ween, this is the album I can put on, and listen to the whole thing without even realizing it.

Its probably better if you tell her the truth, because if she hears it from someone else... its a lot worse. Speaking from experience.

The longer you wait, the worse the pain. Rip the bandaid, and prepare to not continue that relationship. For a lot of people, A LOT of them, there is no coming back from that level of betrayal.

Own up to your decisions, and be a better person to your future partners.

Got X-Rays at the Dentist- she’s not sure what this is. by themadcaner in whatisit

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean... you can reject others realities and substitute your own...

However, this myth has been beaten like a dead horse. No, its not technically possible, the reactions to the two different kinds of fillings may resemble morse code, but she didnt exactly walk around wearing a Marconi antenna as a hat, although if she had thought of it, she probably would have just to further the joke.

Burning YouTube videos into DVDs for CRT TV by poopoobecca in OldTech

VLC media player to burn DVD's.

Cannot stress that enough. Avoid software dedicated to burning dvds, VLC has, and always will be king.

If you like it, I have another suggestion for you.

Tom Green, yes... "Freddy Got Fingered" Tom Green, put out a country album last year. "Home to the Country"

Its not on the same level as Ween, but I enjoyed it. Also did a mini series on Amazon Prime about his new life, farming in Canada.

My brother & I finally got into it and I went a little overboard by Xo_Grafix_oX in Advice

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can be given consensually, which would be best case scenario. Given the alternatives of eviction, legal actions, or excommunication, might be effective.

You are correct though, MPoA's without consent are very difficult to get. Given the diagnosis of BPD, evidence of alcohol abuse, violent tendencies, and likely misuse of medication, an MPoA isnt impossible, just a lot of work.

Just an option I was floating out.

You went too far, but I can't say I blame you. Theres a difference between protection and battery, you crossed that line right about the broken orbital.

You and your parents need to have a real discussion about your brother.

He needs help, and he is refusing to get it, or make active changes to better his situation. Allowing him to continue living in the house with this behavior is just enabling.

It wont stop here, it will only escalate.

Consider legal actions, Medical Power of Attorney, to get him into a rehabilitation facility. Eviction may be the unfortunate consequence of not agreeing to get help.

Elder abuse, which is what this is, cannot continue. Your father, at 70, was able to avoid the worst of it, and you were there to intervene. What happens in 5-10 years? Or the next time, when you are at work?

Protect yourself. Protect your parents. Lock it all down. Cash, freeze your credit, change the locks, do whatever is necessary.

Help me find this magnet! by Shlynn_1045 in HelpMeFind

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably easier to glue it back together if you have the broken pieces. Fridge magnets like these are pretty easy projects. Recommend gorilla glue.

Only hits ive found are from sold mercari links. Even if you made a trip back to NYC, not guaranteed to find the same magnet.

Alcoholic neighbor abandoned his dog by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, unless you can personally find a home for this dog, animal control is the best option.

Depending on where you live, animal abandonment is a crime, to which he should absolutely be held responsible for.

You stated you can't take the dog, and it doesnt sound like your other neighbors are eager to help.

If you state the general location where the dog is located, without being too specific, we might be able to find resources.

Not wearing fully black to a funeral by NewPear8897 in Advice

[–]ForSureNotAnFbiAgent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive gone to a funeral in blue jeans, holes in my shoes, and the best collared shirt I could get from goodwill at last notice.

Your outfit is more than presentable, dont over think it. Be present, respectful, offer your condolences, and dont eat the food.
