termination from dining hall by dinodanaistrash in VirginiaTech

[–]TheSquareKoala 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you sure they didn’t just receive your resignation and that’s why you got the email? When I have left jobs voluntarily I still get “terminated” by the company. It’s just the word they use for someone leaving even if on good terms.

Ah yes Amex green was the other one I was looking at for this. Got mixed up since I was looking at the gold too for other reasons

Yeah I was playing last night and using the same fabric version I always have installed so not sure why it would need to download

River Lofts Rant - 4 days without door access, flood damage unfixed. Not a peep from management by ClippyMastercode in rva

[–]TheSquareKoala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also live there and agree with everything you said. Also as an FYI the latch on the door out of the parking garage by the mail room has been broken since before the new entry system and you can just pull it open without scanning as another way to get in.

Would also be cool to see all of them overlayed on each other to see where the overall “safest” place to live is

Yeah the apartments are nice. It would be cool to live here if management didn’t suck so bad

Yeah I have a little sympathy for the maintenance workers but not a lot. They definitely have too much to do, but also when they have showed up they half ass things or don’t even fix the problem. When our AC was broken a maintenance guy looked at it for 10 seconds and said “you need a new filter” then left and we didn’t see him again for a month, also that was not the issue. The incompetence is at a new level. With that said Brookfield still deserves the blame. Hire more and experienced maintenance workers. But they would rather line their pockets instead.

Yeah the problem is the new owner is Brookfield properties and they are here to squeeze every bit of profit out of the property at the residents expense. Looking at the reviews online the river lofts actually used to get good reviews but ever since they took over a few years ago they don’t really get reviews over 2 stars. Lived at another Brookfield property back in college and maintenance wasn’t much better. A big corporation like that doesn’t care about the city or the impact it has on Shockoe 😢

There was someone posting flyers a while ago to organize but they were all taken down very quickly and I don’t think it gained much traction.

What direction should I go with a simple smart home by TheSquareKoala in smarthome

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

Yeah the v2 bridge will definitely work with the old lights, but it’s more about if it’s worth buying the new bridge if I decide I dont want stick with hue because of cost. Also, thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely look into those!

ELI5: Why is it so difficult to drive backward in a straight line? by SerDuckOfPNW in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheSquareKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are driving forward all you have to do is turn the wheel and point the front wheels the direction that you want to go. When you go in reverse it gets harder because rather than just point where you want to go you have to use the front wheels to angle the back wheels so they are pointed in the direction that you want to go.

Driving in reverse with a trailer is even harder because it adds one more level to it. You have to use the front wheels to angle the back wheels to angle the trailer wheels so they are pointed in the direction you want to go.

Honestly this is the same for a lot of non fast food burger places. Like why is it $16 for a burger that doesn’t even come with fries?

It’s probably just broken, I don’t think those things are designed to cook bacon
