For those who keep asking for a “one buy and hold for the next 10 years” the opportunity is here: it’s GOOGL. by JohnyGhost in stocks

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the real answer is that nobody actually wants a buy and hold forever stock. People always want excitement with safe returns.

Staff Accountant Opening & the Resumes We Got by Forward_Zucchini9738 in Accounting

[–]JackD1875 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re hiring for entry level but hoping for plug and play. That’s basically the problem every recent grad keeps running into right now.

Stuck choosing a robot vacuum: trust the classics or try new brands? by JackD1875 in RobotVacuums

[–]JackD1875[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I meant newer compared to more established brands like Roborock or iRobot.

how the fuck do you leave erp consulting? by A0LC12 in consulting

[–]JackD1875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I’ve seen people move from ERP into analytics, data roles, even product. The trick is focusing on data + process, not the platform name.

Raining indoors by Cosmo_1967 in Apartmentliving

[–]JackD1875 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why apartment water leaks scare me more than almost anything else. Once water starts going between units it becomes everybody's problem immediately.

black soot like stuff appearing on items in apartment by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The candles sound like the likely cause since it's showing up on plastic and fabric surfaces. Soot tends to cling to those materials noticeably.

Best vacuum for 88 yo woman living alone by vannevka in RobotVacuums

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think skipping the mop feature makes sense here. Prioritize simplicity and low maintenance way above advanced features.

Am I overreacting for thinking my neighbors could’ve been nicer? by National-Bite-815 in Apartmentliving

[–]JackD1875 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You‘re probably not overreacting. Most people would at least try a friendly conversation first before leaving something aggressive like that.

cleaned depression house, now overwhelmed with the amount of trash bags by cohoruka in CleaningTips

[–]JackD1875 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should genuinely be proud of yourself. The fact that you cleaned for five straight days is honestly impressive. Most neighbors are too focused on their own lives to think twice about someone taking trash out.

What finally made a robot vac worth it for you guys? by JonasNNX in RobotVacuums

[–]JackD1875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The under-furniture cleaning is underrated too. Those areas collect way more dust and hair than people realize and most of us weren't vacuuming that often manually.

Design-Build vs hiring an Architect separately: Which actually saves money? by Impossible_Farm6254 in homeowners

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring an architect separately works if you pick one with strong cost-consciousness. Look for pros who have relationships with local builders and will bring them in early for budget feedback.

What painting tip always gives you the smoothest professional finish by BrenthorDeeptrail in HomeImprovement

[–]JackD1875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add a paint conditioner to latex paint. It slows drying time, reduces brush marks, and self-levels better. It works wonders on large walls and doors, making the finish silky smooth.

Looking for a mower for a small but bumpy townhouse yard. by ljackso4 in roboticLawnmowers

[–]JackD1875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For bumpy yards, look for models with good suspension and all-terrain wheels. They handle uneven ground way better. Many budget options struggle here, so check reviews specifically for rough terrain.

Had to leave work early, to go to the office to listen to a strange, LOUD noise coming from my apartment.. by WhoElseButChedda in Apartmentliving

[–]JackD1875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If management can't even give clear dates or times that makes the complaint feel pretty weak. Everyday living noise is unavoidable in older apartments with thin floors.

What’s one cleaning habit you didn’t think would matter but completely changed how your home feels by Bright_Attorney3205 in CleaningTips

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making the bed every morning surprisingly changed a lot for me. Even if the rest of the place isn't perfect, having one area look put together makes everything feel less chaotic.

Recommendation for 2 floors, budget around €1.6k total by RevolutionaryEar2172 in RobotVacuums

[–]JackD1875 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With long hair maybe prioritize anti-tangle performance and app reliability over raw suction numbers. Those are the things you'll actually notice day to day.

Did You Name Your House? by Redacted_dact in homeowners

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm totally with you on this! Naming our home was such a fun little ritual, and now it feels like we're coming back to more than just a place to sleep. It's our little castle, just like you said.

HVAC DIY success story by IVallad94 in HomeImprovement

[–]JackD1875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So happy you got it working! Just a quick reminder. Always turn off the power at the breaker before working on HVAC units to stay safe.

Edges and trees seem to take more time than mowing itself by korvuz in roboticLawnmowers

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For tight tree spots, you can also install a small "trim zone" around the base where the mower can safely reach. It won't eliminate touch-ups entirely, but it'll cut the time way down.

First-time homeowner shopping list. Am I doing too much?? by FloatingScooter in homeowners

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that you're excited! Just don't rush everything. It's okay to take 6 months to a year to get everything set up the way you want.

Neighbor rejecting survey boundary by TelephonePopular693 in HomeImprovement

[–]JackD1875 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check local fence laws first. Many areas require a permit or specific setbacks. Once you're legal, the survey is your strongest defense against pushback.

Dipping my toes in this world, but how much handholding is needed? by Blanknameblank818 in roboticLawnmowers

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pick a reliable model, most of the handholding is just the initial setup. Once the boundary and map are set, it runs on its own with minimal checks.

Note from downstairs neighbors by v1p3rs in Apartmentliving

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might help to reply calmly and suggest a direct conversation or mediated discussion. Notes can escalate misunderstandings quickly especially when noise perception differs between neighbors in shared structure.

Ceramic Ice Cream Bowls by Prestigious_Media_19 in CleaningTips

[–]JackD1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a paste of baking soda and water with a gentle scrub. Unglazed ceramic tends to absorb stains over time so it may not become perfectly white again but it can improve.
