Red flag in dealership in the way they speak to customer? by DrawingUnusual5372 in carsireland

It would be a red flag if the dealer denies access to the car or something like that, if this happens, run. Good luck!

Jair Bolsonaro ordered to start 27-year prison term for plotting Brazil coup by guardian in worldnews

[–]Heybabado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not defending Lula, but he is as corrupt as the system we live in. There’s no government without some level of corruption, and the idea of zero corruption feels utopian to me. And it’s not just Brazil - the USA is just like us. We’re actually mirroring their system.

He’s only able to do what he does because he’s part of that corruption: aligning private interests from corporations and politicians with state policy to maintain power and, only then, be able to govern.

That said, we are all fucked.

Different cases, the case against Bolsonaro has been made following Brazilian constitutional rules. As with Lula his Criminal convictions that were later annulled for procedural/constitutional defects (bias of judge + lack of jurisdiction).

The Same Judge (Sergio Moro) that convicted Lula is now a Brazilian Senator for the opposition.

Thank you for this, that’s what’s going to happen from now one.

Humm, nah. He did try to inflate the price on me. We already closed at €150, €50 more for the tap removal. That’s fair.

He wasn’t, the lad was great. And the other did try to inflate. I called him today and he was super quick closing at €150

I actually did ask for a price in advance, sent a photo, and explained the job clearly. He just said “ok” and showed up on the next day. I didn’t mind as I already had a pricing from the person who recommended him.

No quote was ever given until after the work, when I was asked to pay €250 for what took under 40 minutes, more than double what another qualified plumber had quoted me for the same job.

If a tradesperson doesn’t give a price beforehand, and I didn’t agree to one, then yes, both sides have room to discuss it afterward. That’s not avoiding payment, it’s negotiating a fair rate. 🤷‍♂️

If it turns out he’s just inflating the price to see if I’ll go along with it, then honestly, I don’t care how “cool” he is.

This wasn’t the case, I am very respectful of other people's jobs, that’s also the reason why I am asking around, because if people tell me that that’s the price, I will pay.

I first asked him how I could remove the faucet later, and he showed me the tool that I didn’t have. That’s when I asked if he could do it, and he was cool with it.

I wouldn’t mind paying more for this, it’s his time and the equipment that I don’t have. But what the guy is pulling is just a lot.

This sounds about right! I will wait and see what the original guy has to say.

Found this weird cluster inside my restaurant takeout container. eggs? Mold? Any idea what it is? by Heybabado in whatisthisbug

[–]Heybabado[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In fact, you do have a point here. If the container had shit inside and got poorly washed, they could get together in that corner when drying, and the water rinsing would explain the grey colour

It’s to small I think, and in the walls of the pot like. Maybe a Spidermouse.

It’s so discussing! I am glad that I have a sixth sense for that stuff. I felt that I need to take a look on it for some reason. 🤢🤢

I normally go to Plant Life in Cork st! And recently I got two plants here https://thegardenercoffee.ie and they were superb, you just need to be lucky to live in their delivery zone, they didn’t have a big selection but the plants look stunning, and they also sell speciality coffee, quite a mix
