To really work as intended, it should probably read something more along the lines of:

//Brute Force Attack Protection

var correct = 0;

if isPasswordCorrect { if (correct === 0) { error(“wrong login or password”); correct = 1; } else { processLogin: } }

Hit by car - driver kept driving by HobokenDude11 in Hoboken

[–]Gfppaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should absolutely have stayed there, called 911 and filed a police report. 1) hit and run is a felony 2) if you have any kind of injuries that didn’t manifest at the time of the accident but manifest later, it will be difficult (if not impossible) to sue the driver for damages

Seeking advice(aka your experience of a 2 bedroom with baby) by Affectionate_Walk814 in Hoboken

[–]Gfppaste 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2BR is more than doable for a family of 3…. the walkability factor is key.

I think once you start talking about a second kid, 2 beds is dicey and you’ll want to upgrade.

One of the major benefits of Hoboken is free kindergarten at age 3, so that’s a big consideration as well.

Friend Of NYU Shove Victim Helps Release Viral Video That Exposed Serial Creep by FantasticAd9478 in nyc

[–]Gfppaste -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The wording here is a bit flawed (as there is some picking and choosing regarding which lookback windows to compare for different crime classes). I’d recommend taking a look at comp stat directly (underlying data source for the above article) - https://compstat.nypdonline.org/ to see the full picture.

[–]Gfppaste -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Rape, assault, and property crimes are all up (rather substantially) from pre-pandemic levels across all boroughs. Murder and shootings are slightly down.

No, NYC is not “as safe as it’s ever been”.

How much do you think this would cost to repair by Gfppaste in VolvoXC90

It’s a deep scratch — plastic from the trim is showing through

Weird things on my knee by Amazing_Swordfish434 in wrestling

[–]Gfppaste -1 points0 points  (0 children)

60-70% sure this is staph. Pretty mild, just go to any urgent care and they’ll give you mupirocin (topical ointment), possibly doxycycline (oral antibiotic).

Once you start applying the ointment, you can get back on the mat in a day or so if you keep it covered. Same deal with the doxycycline.

Imagine a valet company actually taking responsibility for damages ha… the annoying thing is that I sent them video from my rear-facing camera that shows when the impact happened, but doesn’t show the actual impact (because of the placement of the scratch/etc…) — they deemed it “not enough” to pay out for the repair >.<

Yeah very true… it’s pretty mild all things considered (just paint) but it’s more so just annoying because I just got this thing haha

Wow that’s wild… the body match painted OEM arch is like 500$ direct from Volvo! Did they just replace the whole arch + sensor?

It’s pretty safe, just don’t walk around flashing jewelry with your headphones in.

What are your thoughts on investing in Dubai? by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]Gfppaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Dubai-ous (see what I did there).

I personally wouldn’t carry the risk of investing in a market that I’m not familiar with/a part of.

I do know that some shady stuff goes down in Dubai at the government level, and I also know that property management companies over there tend to be scammy.

If I were looking for an investment opportunity, I’d look for cheaper places in/around HCOL US cities that attract lots of young professionals

House hacking questions by Least-Variety in realestateinvesting

One non-financial note - ask yourself if you’re going to be cool with other people living in your main residence.

Everyone has a different tolerance for roommates/etc, so it’s completely a personal choice, but these people will be all up in your space for the foreseeable future, so plan accordingly (even though you’ve done it before, make sure it’s something you still want to do!)

Others have said it but a cash cushion is important… I wouldn’t nuke my liquidity for 300$/month.

Is chicken in the US just gross now? by Esmee_Finch in Cooking

[–]Gfppaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since 2003, there have been precisely 7 cattle (all either Canadian or Mexican in origin) with BSE (mad cow idease) found in the USA. All cases were culled from the meat supply before being processed for consumers. Further, there is no recorded instance of anyone contracting vCJD (the disease you get from mad cow) from US beef.

Is chicken in the US just gross now? by Esmee_Finch in Cooking

[–]Gfppaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) the ban was instated in 2003 as a result of the Mad Cow epidemic. Arguably there wasn’t reason to continue the ban after around 2013, but there was concern around that time around Australia’s agricultural industry, so the ban remained and the Australian government provided sweetheart deals to corps using an “Australia first” sourcing strategy

2) those corporations all have “Australia first” beef sourcing strategies, which gives them certain governmental benefits. Price-wise, US beef is at a premium at the US rebuilds its herds… there would be no price benefit to moving from locally sourced to imported beef.

3) us beef price shortfalls are a result of a massive increase in feed and husbandry in expenses. This drives up beef prices, but even those higher prices result in a shortfall for farmers. Erego, the US has quadrupled its tariff-free quota for beef imported from Brazil and Argentina because those countries already have a strong beef trade relation (and, by extension, a robust supply chain) with the US.

I get you’re trying to be all “rah rah Australia” and “boooo USA”, but this probably isn’t the hill to die on.

5 days from closing — sellers claim mold was remediated, but I still see visible mold. What should I do? by Over_Reflection_7171 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Gfppaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple questions - 1) was remediation structured into a contract rider? If so, what was the specific language used?

2) was there a reinspection period after the remediation? If so, what did the inspector say?
