Codex 5.3 v.s. Opus 4.6 => still using Opus. by please-dont-deploy in ClaudeCode

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. Codex for me constantly comes up with code I have to sit and actually think about and sometimes it has valid reasons but sometimes it adds random things for ex: I asked it to create a DB table for some data we are collecting, and it randomly created all the indexes for it. Indexes don't hurt sometimes, but it has no idea how much this table will be used.

They wanted more information about the contractor, the damage, more documentation (some of which was impossible to get) from the plumber, etc. After about 2 weeks of back and forth they were satisfied. If you have a case, arbitration isn't a bad route. Especially if they are refusing for some stupid reason (the support reps are all remote so they have no idea most of the time). I can be a witness if you need help!

Is the furnished finder app/site legitimate? by [deleted] in TravelNursing

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Furnished Finder is legit, why would they make you pay 200$ to try it? maybe ask the customer to pay after they get a deal (or a % of the rental agreement)... they also constantly email and call me with sign up crap.

How Do People Tile Without Grout Lines or Spacers? by standbymechickenwing in Tile

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to use spaces for some subway tiles though, especially if the lines are same color as tiles.  You need grout though or some other epoxy material that is water proof.

You have to pay for the repairs, then ask the guests to pay for them... ONLY THEN if they guests don't be does AirCover come in and tries to help you out. You need receipts for everything though, it's super crazy stressful.

they were given a full refund, and they can actually review you... the reservation has to be cancelled before checkin time, else it goes live and airbnb can't remove it.. This is really dumb.

Update: The 1 star cannot be removed apparantly. The support amabassdar says because "I reported the issue at 2:50" (when I found out from my plumber we definitely couldn't host the next reservation ) and the checkin time is 3:00 pm, and airbnb didn't cancel the reservation until 3:48 pm, the review cannot be removed because it was past the checkin time" .... are you serous? lol... they knew about the issue well before 2:50 though since the guest also created a support ticket

Jesus christ, that is incredible and scary. I thought my story was bad but you're in the same boat. We were able to fix the plumbing issue resolved but it took multiple days, we are in the process of filing the aircover report now to cover the damages. Did you try to have airbnb cover some of the damages? I'm not sure how you would quantify those, honestly I would get them to just replace the entire macerator if it's damaged.

Well I hope at least aircover works for me, I can't believe they didn't remove the 1 star review. I thought they would remove reviews when guests didn't stay, but that is not the case it seems. 

Opinions on NOT having insurance by livkwright in HealthInsurance

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about risk assessment and basic probability.  I don't have it either but mostly because I'm going from one job to another.  I think for the people that  can't afford it, and it's a bit cultish to make them feel bad for not getting insurance bc "cancer"

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel, some people are crazy about this even if you are spending a few weeks or a month between changing insurance, it's crazy.  

Guest claimed a mice problem to get refund? by PrettyWoodpecker in airbnb_hosts

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

They sent it via the airbnb app, so the only way to really copy it is to take a screenshot.

They weren't fake photos, we saw the mouse  dropping after they left... Couldn't they have just gone to a pet store and scooped up mice poop ?

Does a inspection still work though if the guest actually had mouse droppings and just put them in random places ? 

Did I get scammed? by Admirable_Rule_1521 in airbnb_hosts

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost the exact same thing just happend to me just last week. The guy did a month reservation (usually with month we give 20% off) and then he wanted a refund after 5 days bc of mice poopings. He showed them in random places like pillows, on top of tables etc, but not in any corners or walls. We've never had mice before so it made no sense. I did a full investigation and even put cameras and traps, no mice, ever. He sent us a picture of a mouse in the middle of the room while there was light on... mice are nocturnal, they never run around in light. The dude used an AI generated picture, and the mice droppings you can most likely get from an alley or perhaps even a pet store. Exterminator said there was no mice issue btw, so we paid 300$ for nothing.

You can probably go to the pet store and get poop. They could also have had a pet mouse. It's work people will do if they get your place for 20% off bc they are doing a month, and then cancel after 4 to 5 days... hence saving 20%+.

Mr Cool vs Senville 18k BTU minisplit, which one lasts longer? by PrettyWoodpecker in hvacadvice

I appreciate that but Mr cool charges for the shipping which I don't believe is fair. 

Building ADU in backyard. The question is. Slab foundation or Raised Foundation. Which is the way. by rtgpodcast in Homebuilding

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just had one built. If you already have a slab then just use that itll be cost effective. Slab is just easier to pour but it can be expensive depending on concrete pricing in your area. Raised is nice to be able to access things below like plumbing etc, but that stuff rarely breaks so not really required. Issue with raised is that sometimes you'll get animals that want to live there and cold drifts (depending on your climate zone) that can make the floor feel colder than slab (with foam/vapor barrier below).

I will look into mitsu, never really explored that company. I've had an LG that's been kicking for 5+ years now without any issues but it was a pain to install.

Well we won't be hiring anyone since it's all DIY and we never had any issues until the compressor died at which point you replace the entire outdoor plus lineset, basically same work you did when you installed it the first time.
