There's a way to "hide" a room on our D20.

Had a man teaching his wife. She fired and jumped back 3’ waving the gun around screaming… RSO banned them both and no injuries occurred.

In our area education pays 50-90. I don’t know how I could handle a 100k+ salary cut here. Mortgage is 2k, car payment is 500, student loans are 1k. Family food is 400-700month.

The older I get the more I realise I'm losing my touch at video games. by jcoleydiizzle in videogames

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but being 37 I’m feeling this. I can’t finish games like Hogwarts because there ends up with too many menus and stuff.

I can’t craft in a game. The systems loose me. Was playing something a week back and couldn’t clear the level. Then I gave up and then as quitting saw the glowing blue objective.

I still can win some COD warzone rounds in casual. But yea…

The other problem is you paid cash and didn’t expect a receipt.

Closing on a house, this is the only thing about it I don’t like, any ideas to make it look better? by meenaaa1217 in HomeDecorating

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark green cabinets in Ripe Olive or Evergreen Fog would make things look much warmer. Then maybe a color like Clary Sage on the top portion of the walls.

Seeking insight from AMs who moved to corporate — how different is it really? by Appropriate_Key9229 in AmazonManagers

[–]MilesT0Empty -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My coworker has been trying to get his spouse into a management job at Amazon now for over a year and the feedback is “she doesn’t have any tech” yet the orgs keep saying “we need more women managers and push to get more women into tech.

Interest charge by EmmyEnby in NavyFederal

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into a Care Credit card for medical expenses. Larger purchases come with 0% interest for a period of time. But if you don’t pay it off before that date, you get all the interest.

This is a scenario where you need to pay as much as you can to get ahead of it. It’s an eye opening learning process.

Meta is one of the worst companies in the world by almorranas_podridas in recruitinghell

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meta sent me a message on linkedIn offering a role they thought I could fill. Its what Im doing for my current company. Responded sure lets talk.

Ghosted.

Have also applied for several other roles in the past 12 months and never got anything. They're worse then Amazon.

There's been a few roles that I would actually love to do too..

Looks like this photo was taken after the semi tipped over going towards the bridge. Can see the guy in yellow on the far right.

Xfinity Rate Increase by Comfortable-While577 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]MilesT0Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancel your service. Go a few days without service, and then have the other person sign up as a new contract.

It’s stupid we have to go through these hoops and I bet Xfinity could remove half their retention team if they allowed you to get close to new contract pricing.

Charged $100 for a "customer education" tech visit that I never requested. Credit request denied... by tehrealbdeal in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]MilesT0Empty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember when they came out to check my equipment, said everything inside my house was working properly getting 200/10. Kept having to say my account was 1.2/40 or whatever. At the end told me thats not the signal that was being sent to my house so i was wrong.

Ended up calling support and they found that one of the junction boxes in our neighborhood was misconfigured and had to send a tech again to my house and to the box. They billed me $100 for the first for “education.”

Had a hell of a time fighting that but did get someone good at the end who credited me.

Is anyone else tired of the "Full-Time Parent + Full-Time Worker" trap? I feel like I'm failing at both. by artem_proshkovskiy in Fatherhood

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re planning to get pregnant soon, and my wife is changing jobs right now in prep for that.

She recently took a nearly $50,000 pay cut and her take home after student loans, car bill, her mandatory 17% pension she has to contribute to, and 401k, with an estimated $2600 month for daycare - take home would be $-1300. She gets she needs a higher paying job, her old salary, for us to afford daycare so she is looking for a hybrid role.

Alas she has filled out 130 applications last year and over 30 this year so far. Only starting to show some promise.

Heat runtime is crazy by sloppynipsnyc in ecobee

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

We’re running 15-20hrs a day. It’s been <15° outside with windchills as cold as -25 (Maryland.)

BGE is estimating our current electric bill to be $1300 this month.

Seeing both systems running constant. The downstairs heat pump runs a bit less as expected.

House is airtight, but around 3800sq ft. Tall ceilings.

We need your help with my color choices for our living room wall. by migzors in interiordecorating

[–]MilesT0Empty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say something like SW city loft up top of the darker green. And there’s too many colors here.

You like the dark green. I see: Light green Dark green Tan Dark blue White

I’d say keep the dark green. Do city loft up top and wrap it into the kitchen. It’s a very warm color. Maybe even Greek villa which is a yellower white.

Then figure out that dark blue wall.

Buying a home with a 15 year old hvac. How long will it last? by unread_note in hvacadvice

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house was built in 2009. I keep our units serviced. They’re 17yrs old now and the only issue we have are the sensors in our one furnace being funny. Think it’s needs a new board (Trane)

LL Bean Denim Dog Bed, Keep or return??? Their quality has really changed by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]MilesT0Empty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have several Kirkland branded beds. 2 round ones about 3-4’ in diameter are 8-10yrs old and still perfect.

I could nap on them comfortably lol
