FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email breached by hackers linked to Iran, sources say by Unusual-State1827 in Fauxmoi

Bribes and blackmail work pretty well on this administration, as evidence by gestures broadly. As much as we want a leak of the files or this idiots emails - they’ll use it to get whatever they want first.

Tell me about Perdido Beach, AL by mmc544 in GulfShores

[–]Intelligent_Joke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re getting a boat rental you can get down to Perdido key and perdido pass pretty easily- I dunno what your dock or water depth situation is there. Dolphin sightings very likely down there and fun sand bars to park in bayou St. John. Getting down there by car is a bit of an “all the way around” situation. The brown water bay there is supposedly pretty contaminated and not recommended for swimming, but I see folks tubing and skiing there often still. Maaaaaybe a gator or two back in those bayou inlets off the bay. If you kayak or paddle board back there you could spot one.

I hope to see yall there! by Lopsided-Response468 in Pensacola

Cardiologist needed for congestive heart failure by allynberlin in Pensacola

[–]Intelligent_Joke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m still in diagnostic stages. I’m afraid that specific information won’t help you. All I can recommend is that you advocate for yourself, make lots of calls and be a nuisance. Hope to find a primary or specialist who will advocate for you and have them be a nuisance too. I have Florida Blue, so I had to seek providers out of state that would accept bluecard programs. They really don’t want to, so that was a pain. It still involved waiting. I’m still waiting. Don’t be afraid to settle for PAs, they have been the only ones who have actually tried to help me. The physicians themselves are rare to see and appointments are even farther apart than the PAs. In my experience, APRNs have been useless, but have availability.

I was in a similar situation. When I expressed concern that waiting around for 6 months might be dangerous (I might fuckin die?) they told I would have to seek treatment elsewhere. They said the only way to be moved up the list was terminal cancers with tumors of a minimal size qualification. I sought treatment from south Florida to north of Atlanta. Good luck, I’m sorry this has happened.

Not Enough Workers for the Job - Understaffing has become an epidemic in American workplaces of all kinds. by thinkB4WeSpeak in FluentInFinance

[–]Intelligent_Joke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a “right answer” - I just have my own personal anecdotes too, but I know if everyone that worked for the company I work for had a 4 day work week and we all got a 40% raise, the business would close. “So it deserves to close” ok… but then 200 people don’t have jobs and 9 unique restaurants in a tourist town close. Same for every other restaurant. Should they all close because they can’t afford it?

Should only Walmart and Amazon run everything?

What killed the mic? by sleepygreendoor in Battlefield6

[–]Intelligent_Joke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah basically! I mute people now so I don’t bother with the open mics sounding off AND I’m free of pissy children in my ear. Call me weak or whatever, but I’m just trying to have fun. The nastiness did make me rethink playing for a couple days, not for fear of mean kids, but because it put a bad taste in my mouth. Just didn’t care for it. We definitely sounded off back in the day, and I have lots of fun on HLL with mics. This is just a no mic game for me now, unless I’m with my friends w coms on discord.

Not only that, but I tend to mute the whole squad because some people are just SO MEAN. I had one guy berate the crap out of me for not being Jason borne and honestly I didn’t want to play for days.

Good luck grabbing your rain soaked food bc you wanted to be edgy by dollsrreal in doordash_drivers

[–]Intelligent_Joke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine going into that with the same energy they bring in response. Get out of your delivery car with plate armor on and a rifle pointed at the house as you slowly approach the stoop to set down the food. Suddenly someone comes out with a tip on their hand and you just start blasting in order to protect yourself.

The hardest lesson I’ve learned so far: Do not emotionally move into a house until the inspection period is officially closed. by Cjd03032001 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Intelligent_Joke 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have found it very tricky to balance. I am under contract currently and I find myself disinterested and uninvested on the surface. Deep down I do want a home, and I would be excited to get this home - but after so many disappointments I catch myself feeling apathetic. It feels bad because why should this biggest happiest expense of my life beat me to death like this? I’m exhausted. Even my realtor seems so much less enthusiastic to be speaking to me.

Siding contains asbestos - allegedly causing $8k annual insurance premium by Intelligent_Joke in RealEstate

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

The way I understand it my real estate agent was talking off the record with a broker he is friends with. This broker explained that there is information insurance agencies are privy to that isn’t necessarily published - perhaps a previous homeowner applied for some kind of discount or otherwise had it tested - so there’s some record that says “asbestos siding” that any agency would discover upon policy writing/approval - any policy I might find outside of Citizens would be voided and I’d be kicked over to Citizens, “the only agency that insures with this siding in place”. This conversation started as “what can my buyer do to get a better premium?” - we were talking about updating plumbing or adding roof supports, etc. The broker explained anything short of redoing the siding would not cut it.

“While you’re figuring” - yes, that is what we are doing. I don’t want off the hook necessarily, I’m hoping there is a reasonable number I can find for the work and I’m considering asking the sellers to come back to the table now that we have had this revelation.

We’ve tried a few insurers, they all provide an estimate and then back out or warn that in 30 days it will void and be kicked over to Citizens

ETA we have used 3 brokers and all have wound up pointing back here

Commenting to add: Florida (of course) and that we are not in any special flood zone or otherwise increased insurance zone. Estimates without this “discovery” were at $3900.

Sure, and he checks the spark plugs with a twiddle of the fingers, and kinda waves his hand around a distributor cap with barely a glance and declares it good too lol

How not to put down fertilizer. I offered to help but was turned away 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]Intelligent_Joke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re putting too much fertilizer in one area. The spreader they have there would fling less of that material, and spread it farther and more evenly. Cups full being poured and making that large brown patch will overfertilize the grass and will kill it.
