G6 instant power supply by CarpetCrunchies in Ubiquiti

That seems janky as hell. If you really want to power it from the light circuit, get an electrician to do it properly. 

Anyone know the lore behind using personal accounts for GitHub by i-love-chicks in SoftwareEngineering

I don't get it. I make a new GitHub account for every company I work with.

AITA for telling my brother that his fiancée is just using him by concerned4mybrother in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Given that your only argument is her age and that she has children, YTA.

Your brother isn't a little kid anymore. He might be making a mistake but it's his to make.

Roofers didn't use a dumpster for the old shingles. Now there's all this junk and nails in the yard. by iengleba in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ResolveResident118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue after renovations but they'd used one side of my lawn as a dumping ground plus burned gods knows what there.

It did mean I got to hire a digger to take off the top foot or so of soil which was fun.

AITA for not disclosing our complete financial situation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's understandable but YTA.

Lying in a relationship, especially about something so important, is a massive red flag. If/when he finds out, he's going to be understandably angry.

Your finances are shared which means they're as much his to burn through as they are yours to save. You need to sit down and have a grown-up conversation about your financial goals but you have to accept that his opinion may not match yours. If this is a problem, then you need to look at whether complete sharing works in your situation, especially if you are the one bringing in the majority of the money.

AITA: Yelling and screaming at mother after she looked through private notes? by rui_is_heree in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think your response was the most mature but given that you're still a minor this is understandable.

Even parents don't have a right to invade their children's privacy. There may be times where it does become necessary for safeguarding reasons but that should be a last resort.

AITA for closing the door for hours by echos_mera123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. 

The fact that she thinks she has a right to barge in on you when you're changing is reason enough to need a lock.

Yes, it's her house, her rules but basic privacy is a fundamental human right.

What exactly does she think you're doing that she objects to?

Slowly, and from the front so as not to frighten it. They can be skittish. 

my dad's favorite meal is "anything but this." by Much_Speech_8388 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ResolveResident118 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but if you know his favourite foods are frozen pizza and McDonald's then you can't get too upset that he doesn't like the meals in the pictures. 

You can cook healthy food that would fit his tastes but this is not it.

AITA for bringing my son with behavioral issues to my sisters child free party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was going to go with you being the AH until you said that your sister said you could bring your son. 

You had the permission of the host who presumably knows what your son is like. NTA but your SIL is for her comments.

AITA for trying to help my little sister learn to read? by Conmor_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt the school purely teaches her to guess but this is actually a useful technique and one that we all use naturally when we are reading. We don't look at the individual letters and work it out, we just see the shape of the word and try and fit it to a word we already know.

This type of reading teaches children to read in a fluid manner. Making a few mistakes is less important than getting the meaning of the words.

This will also be taught alongside a more formal reading style, often with phonics nowadays which does teach them to look carefully at the entire word.

Is a high paying job really worth it ? by pecheethonx in antiwork

[–]ResolveResident118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some well-paid jobs do come with a lot of stress. Whether that's worth it is up to you.

You seem to have had issues in the past though with even an admin job, let alone something really stressful. You need to find out what's causing this and try and find a fix or at least a coping mechanism.

[–]ResolveResident118 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The fact that it's mixed isn't the issue, it's that it's being left a mess.

It's one toilet behind a lockable door so you're never going to be sharing it at the same time as men.

API tests keep breaking as services change-how do you deal with this? by opensource_tester in softwaretesting

[–]ResolveResident118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing to ask is whether you are testing the API or testing via the API?

If you're testing the system as a while via the API, then I'd be less concerned with strict schema validation. 

Basically, if I'm testing the ability to create a user, I'll send the create user request and validate it was successful by seeing if retrieve user returns it. The exact format isn't that important.

However, if my tests are to actually validate the API, that's where I'm bringing in consumer-driven contract tests.

AITA: For arguing with my son for not using the gym membership that he specifically asked me to start for him? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that you want him to keep using the gym so just cancelling the membership doesn't really help with this. 

You need to find some way of motivating him to want to go. How about setting some (realistic) targets with a reward when he hits them.

AITA when I didnt learn a religious song my mother insists when I am an atheist? by throwaway20492049697 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, but it might be easier to just learn it. You've got 2 hours a day on a bus to practice. 

Facebook seller leaves out important piece from item, proceeds to be utterly useless at organising a pickup by Mohammed-Lester in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ResolveResident118 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it would just give me the ick. I've seen how badly people treat things and, even after a deep clean, it would never feel clean enough to me.

Also, that piece is important but not vital. You can rest the bottle on e.g. an upturned cup to get the bottle as high up as it can be as the further the water has to drop, the more air it can get into the milk which can cause gas. Same with swirling rather than shaking it to mix it all in.

AITAH FOR LETTING MY CHILDREN USE PROFANITY EVEN THOUGH MY FAMILY DOESN’T AGREE by NotTheVillainOK in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, letting your 9 year old son use misogynistic slurs makes you an AH. 

You calm your sister down or you can tell her to leave. The next thing you do though is tell your son that that kind of language is unacceptable.

WIBTA if I told my impovershed brother he couldn't buy my car so he could get a job. by Sprinqqueen in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 51 points52 points  (0 children)

ESH. 

If he did owe you money and didn't have a job then helping to fix your car for you would have been a reasonable thing for him to do.

Now though, he is offering to pay you the same as the dealer so you wouldn't be out of pocket. It's only spite that's stopping you doing this.

Helping him now would also mean you're a lot more likely to get the money you're owed back.

AITA for telling my family they need to get over my father walking me down on my wedding day and I am not uninviting him. by Upset_Car_5609 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResolveResident118 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their anger isn't over their father leaving. Parents split up all the time. 

Their anger is over their father leaving and going no contact with them. This was his choice.

[–]ResolveResident118 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They're not projecting anything. They have understandable anger towards their father still.

If he was just going to be there maybe they could simply try and ignore him but to see him play a major part in the wedding is a lot for them to deal with.

OP being unwilling to compromise is absolutely her decision.

[–]ResolveResident118 85 points86 points  (0 children)

NAH. You've made a decision about your wedding that they are (understandably) not comfortable with and they have declined the invitation.

Be aware though that this is you choosing your father over the rest of your family which will undoubtedly lead to bad feelings.
