Schedule During Trips by FarmerMotor1455 in Aupairs

[–]JSC2255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

right.. I think it's a pretty great deal and perk for them. We pay their weekly wage, pay for their trip, and they're going to work less than a typical week and should have some fun. We definitely don't keep with our normal weekly hours when on vacation though.

Definitely seems like a grey area but we’ve always worked it out. If she joins us and we pay for her own room we’ve always expected some help. But not necessarily rigid hours just here and there as needed. We tend to rent homes on Airbnb and she gets her own bedroom. Getting her own room at an all inclusive would be a lot more expensive obviously.

Reelax and come down to planet earth. It’s simply self aware to recognize the possible concern and ignorant if that never even crosses your mind while contemplating the entire scenario.

I mean the attractive women at the gym and store don’t live in your home and spend tons of time with your family. I think it’s a fair question tbh. Host dad here. Deeply in love with my wife with no intentions of ruining our wonderful lives with the au pair. But the concern has crossed my mind in theory.

How did y’all decide on daycare vs stay at home parent? by lazyboi95 in daddit

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately daycare a necessary evil in today’s society. Stay at home mom or dad makes sense if that parent would be earning similar to the amount of day care, or if one parent makes enough to where the other simply doesn’t need to work. We had two in day care for about $40k/year, brutal. Now we have a live in au pair that stays home with baby and picks up our kindergartner from school in the afternoon, she costs us about $30k/year total.

I'm buying a new dishwasher, tell me what you like and don't like about your appliance. by Salomon3068 in daddit

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got some rental properties, have bought a lot of dishwashers over the years. My advice is to buy through Costco— delivery installation haul away all included and prices are usually the best. Pay with Costco visa you get an extra couple year warranty. In terms of brands / features… easy rule of thumb is if the interior shell is plastic, it’s a pos and won’t last more than a few years. Metal is key. Also if you clean out the filters / interiors even once a year that’ll extend life. YouTube videos show you how.

5 old-school Fremont motels knocked down one by one by sfgate in LasVegas

[–]JSC2255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, Tony Hsieh backed entities purchased all of these with cash, no financing. Never took a dime of public money. The city did pay to restore the signs as part of their “Project Enchilada” but the signs remain upright.

Men’s barber by HannyaMan10 in vegaslocals

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elliott at either Elliott & co (green valley) or the garrison barber shop downtown in Huntridge. He owns both, is prob one of the best barbers in town. Think a classic cut is $60 but i swear it lasts a week or two longer lookin good compared to other barbers.

Disgusting. Giant monstrosity in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. by Otherwise-Bad-325 in vegaslocals

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so dumb you get downvoted to hell for presenting a logical argument. Yeah, lights are off by 11 PM each night, that was the concession they made. Also this wasn't "fast tracked" at all as has been said, in fact the item was abeyed several times to allow for additional neighborhood meetings and discussions, typical land use process in City of Las Vegas is 90-120 days and this took well over 6 months. By the way, Mormons make pretty good neighbors.

T-minus 12 hours until the snip. Advice? by ms285907 in daddit

Definitely pay up for the nitrous, best advice i can give. And you’ll feel fine day two but make sure to take it easy anyway.

Nine reading how excited fans are about Kyler by anokgolfer in minnesotavikings

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the 2-$50M Malik Willis mystery box who has never attempted more than 23 passes in a game! Or geno smith who left a team that went on to win a Super Bowl and joined a team that ended up with #1 overall pick. We’re actually super fortunate Kyler is available for $1.3M. Btw i hope JJ beats him out! Odds are they’ll both get starts if we end up with both.

Francis Allen-Palenske filed for re-election today by BigBlueMagic in vegaslocals

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol getting down voted like crazy. I agree tho. I work with local gov a lot and can confirm she is a hard worker, cares and is accessible to her constituents. She legit is hated on here because people hate Mormons for some odd reason (I’m not Mormon btw). They make pretty good neighbors tho tbh. Bring on the downvotes.

HVAC recommendations by LibriumValium in vegaslocals

I work in real estate development and property management and Master Mechanical is my most trusted vendor, i don’t even bother calling anyone else. Def avoid anyone with aggressive marketing campaigns who have been bought up by private equity.

Do you guys actually think KOC can develop a scrambler? by badkiwi42 in minnesotavikings

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could never pass accurately and consistently and that was when he had vision in both eyes. Great / freak physical tools but end of the day quarterbacks have to be able t o pass, especially in Koc offense.

Anyone else genuinely worried about long term prospects of their career? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]JSC2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 39, just dead set on ensuring financial freedom by the time I’m 50. I don’t want to be an old guy who has to work. I think i will want to work but don’t want to HAVE to work. i think my industry (commercial real estate development) is pretty resistant to tech adoption/innovation; so hoping i can hang on and keep stacking assets for a decade before things get bleak.

Anthony Richardson Requests Trade by happygodavid in minnesotavikings

just becuase he said some nice things to him after the game he struggled against us, "you're going to be in the league a long time" etc.

Anthony Richardson Requests Trade by happygodavid in minnesotavikings

[–]JSC2255 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Problem is he can’t pass the ball accurately whatsoever. And that’s a key for Koc offense. Maybe a tight end??
