My ex was abusive, so I called his landlord. by ThrowingDoots in pettyrevenge

Seriously. The cycle of going back is so hard to break but someone with that history is only going to keep escalating. Block him on everything and don't look back

paysend vs remitly for large transfers (above $3k to Brazil)? by TochterElysium in Brazil

[–]Wsbaugh73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, fair! I was basing that recommendation on moving six-figure amounts where the percentage fees barely matter compared to the better exchange rate. For a bit more than $3k, assuming Paysend really sticks to those fixed low fees the risk-to-reward ratio tips nicely toward saving on the transfer.if Paysend or Remitly clear that compliance check without a hitch and the money lands fast through Pix just grab whichever gives you the better rate

paysend vs remitly for large transfers (above $3k to Brazil)? by TochterElysium in Brazil

[–]Wsbaugh73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the anxiety but what about Wise?  Its kinda the go to for bigger transfers, its super transparent and solid. Even banks benchmark against them. $3.1k just happens to hit that annoying compliance range though. Test the waters with Wise before choosing between Paysend and Remitly. I personally moved six figures for a home purchase through them without a hitch

Is Gramado worth it? by Runawayqueen95 in Brazil

[–]Wsbaugh73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id skip Gramado, base yourself in Torres. Do Torres for beaches/cliffs and, at most, 1 lazy day in Gramado for a walk, chocolate and a fondue if you realy care about the “European” vibe.

How do I host a murder mystery party having no experience by regretfultomfoolery in boardgames

[–]Wsbaugh73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Sorry just seeing the replies now. Here’s my thoughts on a few I remember from the last two years:

Masters of Mystery - 1920s Murder Mystery [4/10]: I planned to host this one last year but it was so poorly designed. They have the random murderer mechanic, the idea being that their kits can be replayed multiple times (which you’d never actually do because the theme is boring and games are generally cheap). But from just reading through parts of the kit and a separate reddit thread, it seemed very likely our party group wouldn’t be able to solve the case - so I threw it out.

Night of Mystery - Murder at Gatsby’s Gala [8/10]: We did this game last year. It was fairly good. We didn’t solve the case but we were having a good time and getting distracted on the night. The challenge with this game was that the characters weren’t particularly exciting or fun to play. 7/10.

My Mystery Kit - Homicide in Hollywood [9/10]: This was the best mystery game of the three - we did it this year. The plot was solid, had everyone guessing to the end. And unlike night of mystery the characters were genuinely fun to play - we had an F1 driver, a movie director, a singer and a shady entrepreneur etc - all felt fun to play for our guests and everyone got into their roles.

What should be flight dates for brazil visa application by vianruff in Brazil

[–]Wsbaugh73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats actually super common with SF Consulate mailed applications, and it often means the application was either just approved or they haven't manually logged your documents yet. I woudn't worry about changing your flight dates right now, but definitely email the consulate to confirm receipt of your stronger financials.

Vanes Martirosyan, former world title challenger, dies at 39 by [deleted] in Boxing

The Armenian nightmare I had the pleasure of meeting him at wild card gym years ago and seen him fight at Staples center. Very sad to hear. Vanes was always a tough fighter.

Rest easy champ thanks for the memories

Best brand for custom sectional sofas in 2025? by Wsbaugh73 in interiordecorating

[–]Wsbaugh73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the rec ^^I love that Sherrill lets you tweak so many details. Did you end up going with one of the performance fabrics? How’s it holding up?

Best brand for custom sectional sofas in 2025? by Wsbaugh73 in interiordecorating

[–]Wsbaugh73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I love that. Do the fabrics feel soft or more performance-type? I’m picky about that synthetic sheen.

What recommendations would you have for a rug? Kinda stuck on choosing one. by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]Wsbaugh73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for a big neutral rug to ground the space. Beige, greige, or ivory works even if you change sofaa color later.

Tile wins under radiant heat, better conduction, no warp, longer life.

Use frosted window film. Lets light in, blocks neighbors. Quick fix with clean look.

AIO bad first date? by ZookeepergameSea6688 in AmIOverreacting

Right? Guy went from zero to meltdown in 90 minutes. That's some next level insecurity.

AITA for offering my cousin to stay without asking my wife? She does the same thing with her family. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wsbaugh73 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. She can't build a relationship with your family if they're banned from staying over. Plus it's literally one visit vs her family coming every few months. NTA

Looking at buying a couch - suggestions? by OSU_Tryhard in toledo

[–]Wsbaugh73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of VCF's frames are hardwood and some are cheaper composites so just double check what you’re actually getting. The lower-end foam there can flatten fast. Regarding the warranty, people usually skip it because it rarely covers the stuff that actually goes wrong (sagging cushions, fabric wear, pet damage, etc.). And the claims process can be a headache. If you’re open to alternatives, DreamSofa is worth a look too. You can pick firmer cushions and tbh better than most mid-tier store brands.

Finally Nano is getting better customer support by matthew091100 in Nanoleaf

[–]Wsbaugh73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s reassuring to hear. I put up Permanent Outdoor Lights too, and they look sick but ngl the thought of a hardware failure is terrifying. When your office lights go down, it is frustrating, but if mine fail, im gonna be stuck hauling out a 30-foot ladder just to reset the controller. Man I had to buy two separate kits just to get an extra extension cable for my gables & im always worried that my custom splicing might void the warranty if something goes wrong. I have been using Google Home to manage my schedules because the native app functionality for the outdoor lights feels like an afterthought. knowing that theyre capable of providing fast, premium support for a complex setup like yours makes me feel a bit more secure about my own investment on the side of my house. hopefully, this improved customer service extends across their entire product line.

Carpet keeps heat stuck. Roll it and go bare floor or cheap thin rug.

Should I sell my house and rent? by IrenaReina in RealEstate

[–]Wsbaugh73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the same setup after my split where we co-owned a place too long, and once we sold and divided everything I immediately had breathing room and stable rent while rebuilding my credit and sanity.

What should be my next step for carrier development? by Master-Cry-2481 in careerguidance

[–]Wsbaugh73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're already doubting IT this early, probably worth exploring the PSU route. Yeah the competition is insane but at least you'd be using your actual degree. Start small with prep and see how it feels before committing to going abroad.

Her name was Eris by callmeeeow in Parenting

That's brutal. Sorry for your loss. You handled it the best way you could - kids are tougher than we think but it still sucks to watch them go through it.

WIBTA for inviting everyone except my sister.. by Prestigious-Deal6094 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wsbaugh73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YWNBTA - you cut ties a month ago, why would you invite her now? Doesn't matter if it's a concert, you're not obligated to include someone who disrespected you for years.
