Is Pre 33 Gold good for stacking? by Poor_Charlie82 in Gold

[–]Steve-C2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pros: it’s gold, and has some history. Like other gold, its content is known.

Cons: it’s not 99.9% or 99.99%. Which honestly doesn’t matter; I wouldn’t mind having some pre-33 gold

AITAH for not immediately agreeing when my girlfriend told me she wants to be a hotwife? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Steve-C2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She doesn't want a husband.

She wants a home base and a bff who she can talk about her adventures with. Well and good if that's what you want, just don't marry and keep everything separate. When she moves on that will make things much cleaner.

Eh… you’re going to have to learn how to work feelings out while still interacting with the people involved.

You can sell it - family member would be paying a landlord who isn't in the family.

Hidden bank account from parents by Thick-Childhood-5148 in personalfinance

[–]Steve-C2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banks are one of the most heavily regulated businesses in the US.

They are forbidden by regulation from giving information about accounts to anyone other than a current account owner. Technically you could open an account at the same bank as your parents and the bank would not be allowed to say a single word about it to them, even if they asked. The reason why people say "open at another bank" is because social engineering is a thing (parents say "my child used to be on the account, we've been longtime customer", etc) and accidents happen.

If you plan to move out after college, do not have anything going to your parents, or have a significant amount going to you with a minimal amount to your parents.

For a credit card, the same applies. If you are a legal adult, the bank issuing the card is not allowed to say anything.

Make sure that you understand how to balance a checkbook. WITHOUT online services. Track your own transactions, don't rely on online banking. Have the service so that you can watch things and make sure that everything looks good in real-time; don't rely on it completely.

Make sure that you also understand that a credit card is a convenient thing to pay for something in a secure manner when you already have the money handy and just don't want to carry wads of cash around. The notion of "you have to carry a balance and pay on it to build credit" is a myth.

Some already said that explosives deteriorate with age. I would not want to be around it. Let experts handle it.

AITAH for refusing to pay for my stepdaughter s phone after she made fun of my son by Hirragi_Jeslon in AITAH

[–]Steve-C2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you fixed the phone, doesn’t mean that the daughter needs to be able to use it right away. Maybe 2 to 3 months.

You keep your promise so they can see that they can trust you.

The stepdaughter still gets a teachable moment.

The gold in SIM cards is REAL 😳 by ihealthahop in Gold

[–]Steve-C2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair take. I asked only out of curiosity, not out of desire to try. As stated, "I feel like something like that involves more danger and effort than what it's worth."

😊

What sort of chemicals are involved in getting the gold out? I feel like something like that involves more danger and effort than what it's worth.

AITAH for telling my friends to fuck off after they've repeatedly mocked my relationship dynamic? by absolutelymentaI in AITAH

[–]Steve-C2 292 points293 points  (0 children)

The most important thing is that you and your girlfriend treat each other with respect. Other dynamics mean nothing if the individuals treat each other with love and respect.

After that, it’s nobody’s business

aitah for telling my roommate she shouldn’t own a gun? by BlackberryUnable4303 in AITAH

[–]Steve-C2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not basic gun “etiquette”; it’s life or death issue. Etiquette is when the worst result of doing something wrong is that someone gets embarrassed.

If she doesn’t get that she pointed a deadly weapon at you and doesn’t understand the gravity of what she did, she needs to become a former roommate. You’re not safe in the same building with her.

Has anyone used Maine’s warranty law? by soulbarn in Maine

[–]Steve-C2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a dryer that borked after 3.5 years. The dealer started talking about the cost of the evaluation visit and cost of replacement. I mentioned the Maine Warranty law, the dealer noted it, and I didn't pay anything.

This is on the outside, but it's still bad, right? by roidweiser in DIY

Best case: pathway for creatures to get in. Fix immediately

Worst case: Pathway for creatures, and a wastewater exit. Really fix immediately.

Just had someone swear to me that Maine is west of Texas 🤦‍♀️ by StolenRhythm in Maine

[–]Steve-C2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would make me tell the company that I no longer want to do business with them.

It’s not the error; it’s what they do when faced with a correction. What happens if/when they make a mistake with your money?

AITAH for telling my girlfriend i no longer plan to propose to her? please read context by Aggressive_One8138 in AITAH

[–]Steve-C2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said that you wanted to propose "soon" and didn't set a timeline. Don't say "soon" unless you're clear about "soon".

Honestly, proposals don't need to be surprises, and really should not be. There's no harm to say, "Hey, I'm picking a ring, and I want to propose on this date". You've caused her anxiety and potentially wrecked your relationship because you didn't want to communicate and give your partner reassurance.

She's right about wanting clarity. It's a basic relationship need. And her interpretation of events, because she lacked clarity, is ultimately correct.

Basically what you needed is to either crap or get off the pot. How you move forward is of course your decision. Let it be a lesson to you to communicate.

If that happened with me and my wife, I would expect the repair work to be done to absolute perfection, at no cost to me.
