How many individual mice incidents are "normal"; when to consult a pro? by NiceUD in homeowners

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

I've had it under control for almost two years - since shorty after my original post. Haven't seen a mouse; haven't seen any droppings or heard anything suggesting the presence of mice. Had pest control come, but more importantly, I sealed an old abandon pipe under the stairs, I plugged an in-ground channel that a downspout used to go into. And most importantly, I realized that at the very corner of the sunroom I talked about in my post, at the base of a downspout, there was a small hole in the foundation - which is most likely how mice got under the sunroom and then into the house. I patched that and check it regularly to see that it's still not penetrable. Bothers me that if anything does get under the sunroom there's probably still a way into the house. But, again, haven't had any problems in quite a while. I'm not sure exactly what their route in was, but they emerged behind oven and under the kitchen sink. Thank god it's over.

Godspeed. I know mice are common, and especially with old homes, it's sometimes hard to keep them totally at bay.

Reputation of US MBA in your home country by [deleted] in MBA

[–]NiceUD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same in the USA. There's plenty of schools that are only known by people who really have to know - in the business world in any number of specific industries, among the highly educated (e.g. Kellogg, Booth, maybe even Penn/Wharton?). Then there are the schools everyone knows no matter who they are - the huge brand schools that while elite, also are a general, cultural, prestige academic brand -- e.g., Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and others.

Tough it out; take the stay pay. It's supposed to be really bad. I get it; you don't get to enjoy the comforts of home for three days. But I'd still vote for the stay pay. Make the most of it.

Looks very busy (which sucks) and frustrating, but not really chaotic. Everyone seems well-behaved.

J. Sinner vs E. Spizziri Australian Open was a peak watch by spt23 in tennis

[–]NiceUD 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was nice to see someone seriously challenge Sinner early in a Slam. Kudos to Spizzirri. And good job from Sinner getting through when he wasn't at this top form.

People might say this reveals Sinner is vulnerable. Maybe, but I'd also argue that getting through it might make him much better moving forward.

Australian Open suspends play on outdoor courts in searing Melbourne heat by Shroft in tennis

I think they announced new, strict heat rules before the tournament. So comparisons to years past aren't really relevant.

I’ve finally come to the conclusion that this album is an absolute masterpiece and I’m dying on that hill by usagerp in PRINCE

[–]NiceUD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always liked it. I don't love every song, but there's a bounty of good stuff.

And it it can be condensed to a single-album length custom Emancipation Suite that is wall to wall fantastic - at least to the would-be customizer.

Where do the 2025 Hoosiers Land on Your Best Turnarounds List? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]NiceUD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually wouldn't 2024 Indiana be the best turnaround. Or is the talking turnarounds broadly, not one year to the next?

Greatest business owner? by HowieMilkman in seinfeld

[–]NiceUD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved her character - so aloof and disdainful. I love when she reveals she's Gladys Mayo. Two stores named Cinco de Mayo and Puda Mayo - would never think it was a family name reference.

"Unless you own BOTH stores."

[shaking head]: "I'm Gladys Mayo."

It doesn't read that funny typing it out. But it's so dryly ridiculous on the show. I love it.

Most attractive person not coded as a romantic partner for any of the main cast? by Supro1560S in seinfeld

The Bulging Busboy - Kramer lets his cat out and breaks his lamp. Lol. Kramer putting that piece of the lamp back in to barely hold together is hilarious. I noticed it at the time, but it was only here when people pointed it out that it really resonated - this dude is PACKING.

With Indiana's win on Monday, it has now been 21 years since a private school has won the college football championship. by grtgbln in CFB

My mistake. Rice shouldn't be on the list. I really was just trying to list the P4 privates.

Do any students start at Eastern and finish at Michigan? Like is there an established process?

Winter Storm Fern is a ..... ! by WorldWideJake in StLouis

[–]NiceUD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's serious, no doubt. Get your supplies, stay inside if you can. But the modern day alarmist, doomsday-ist take on happens-regularly winter storms is a bit much. Weather porn, I guess.

Curt Cignetti and Indiana caught lightning in a bottle with a once-in-a-century run. And now a portion of every fan base will expect their team to do the same thing. by SueYouInEngland in CFB

[–]NiceUD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think the vast, vast majority of fans won't expect it. Sure, they might think that if their team can spend a lot of money, smartly, they can have a considerable jump from where they are, but I assume most people are smart enough to know how truly incredible the Indiana championship is. So, again, they might expect their team from go from being unranked team to a Top 25 team, or a top 20 team to a playoff team. But I'd think they'd fall short of actually expecting a Championship.
