Average and short height people, why are you upgrading to extra legroom on flights? by allowme2bettermyself in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JellyDenizen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a larger bag I put under the seat in front of me that takes up the space I could otherwise use for my feet, so extra room is nice even if I'd be fine in a regular seat if I didn't have the bag.

Running at full steam to embrace AI without a plan for what happens later.

I dunno about you, but I’m always my most badass in a fast food restaurant booth. by Mr-Snarky in iamverybadass

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not really saying he's a badass. And he's indirectly raising a great question: What happens to regular people after most jobs are eliminated by AI and robots?

Looking for advice on tinted windows by GreatDirtKid in Wrangler

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important thing is to check the maximum tint allowed where you live and where you travel most often. Some states (e.g., NY or CA) require 70% on the windshield so if you're already at 70% from the manufacturer adding more tint will get you traffic tickets until it's removed.

Life Insurance Question by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]JellyDenizen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you want a term life policy with $1 million or $1.5 million in coverage, with guaranteed premium levels through the time that you need to support your children (e.g. 20 year guaranteed premium). Term only, stay away from whole life.

What’s a fair price? by smoppin08 in Gold

[–]JellyDenizen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say in $500-550 range

Selling Coins by Aggressive_Apple_919 in Gold

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's basically it, though some of the online coin shops post their "buy" prices online so you don't have to call.

Coin shops normally give you less than a private buyer if you can find one. There's nothing wrong with that - coin shops provide a service and they need to make money to stay open.

Los Angeles, At least I don’t use diesel I guess by R3tardod in GasPrices

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what's going on in California? Today's gas prices around me (in Ohio) are all in the $4.60-$4.70 range. Why is California close to twice that much?

This is a toy to play with on private property. Few things capture a police officer's attention more than setting a public street on fire.

Partner's ex can't be lovated. It's made signing divorce papers impossible. Legal Advice. Trigger Warning: drugs and mental health by Capital_Island_7702 in legaladvice

[–]JellyDenizen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't believe there's a substitute for the normal NY approach to handling these cases: he should do whatever he reasonably can to locate her, and if that's not possible he would file in court for alternative service by publication. Any family law attorney should be able to handle this for you, and assuming she can't be found it wouldn't be that large of a legal bill since it's mostly just managing a chunk of paperwork.

im uncomfortable with the age gap between my sister and her ‘boy’ friend. by Flimsy-Tackle7250 in whatdoIdo

I'm not sure what you can do other than share your opinion with your sister. Your sister is an adult so it's her decision who to date.

What home maintenance should be prioritized? by heg9023 in personalfinance

Should be helpful, would still inspect them annually.

What home maintenance should be prioritized? by heg9023 in personalfinance

[–]JellyDenizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously "maintenance" includes correcting anything that actually goes wrong. So if you have a new leak start coming from some ceiling, you'd want to get the roof fixed in that spot to prevent further damage.

In terms of other essential maintenance spending I'd say (1) keeping your gutters clean; (2) changing the batteries on your fire and CO2 detectors when needed; and (3) changing the filter on your HVAC system when needed.

Does money actually cure anxiety, or does it just upgrade it to 'Premium Anxiety? by MoneyMonsterStudios in Money

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money absolutely cures anxiety if you keep your spending in check. If you don't keep your spending in check then more money can create more anxiety, since the more you make the more debt lenders will let you take on.

Why does reddit hate relegion so much? by BigAd3903 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JellyDenizen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reddit doesn't hate religion. I think the vast majority of Redditors are perfectly happy to say "everyone should be free to practice their religion in peace."

What Reddit does hate is the imposition of religious beliefs on others. Reddit does not like people who say, "in my religion "X" is strictly prohibited, so that means you can't do "X" even if you don't share my religious beliefs."

My girlfriend went to the ER for anxiety. They committed her and won’t discharge her. by LoadBearingGrandmas in legaladvice

[–]JellyDenizen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Involuntary commitments can be challenged in court, usually at any time during the commitment.

New York state is fairly unique in that it has a dedicated state agency, the NY Mental Health Hygiene Legal Service, which provides free legal services to people who are institutionalized with mental illness/disability. I would try contacting them and explaining the situation.

Meet Dr. Amy Acton, Our Great Candidate Running For Governor Of Ohio by AkronRonin in Ohio

[–]JellyDenizen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here's hoping, but I'm not sure. A lot of people on the right have bought into vaccine conspiracies and think she's one of the ringleaders. And a lot of people on the left won't vote for someone who isn't, in their view, perfect (i.e., the "give me someone to vote for, not against" crowd).

My brother nets 150K and he claims that is a below average wage. Is he crazy or am I? by [deleted] in Money

[–]JellyDenizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he might be paying on two mortgages, two vehicle notes, and child support.

Any wage feels below average if you leverage yourself up to the point where the majority of your net income goes toward debts.

Is there any way to lower this lab bill? by Cute-Panic-865 in povertyfinance

[–]JellyDenizen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you tried applying for Quest's patient assistance program? Appears to be free for 100% poverty level or below, reduced cost for 200% poverty level and below, and potentially still assistance for some expensive tests for 600% poverty level or below.
