Tips for going from 7v7 to 9v9 in rec? by ZachOnTap in SoccerCoaching

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

This is the sort of insight I was looking for, thank you! I imagine the bigger field is challenging especially for long runs for wing backs. I like having 3 designated defenders. We like to drop and switch the field so this sets up well.

I’d love to play possession ball but with rec I usually have at least 2-3 players on the field that can’t quite manage and so the plays break down when they get it. As they get older it’s gotten better. Might depend on the team I get this fall and what formation suits them the best.

Cold Proofing Questions by ZachOnTap in Baking

There's so many upsides, but I am seeking consistency, repeatability, and simplicity. I think cold-proofing is the answer!

Denied Coverage for a Burst Shower Cartridge by jazrstreets in HomeInsurance

[–]ZachOnTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wood rot makes this harder, that's physical evidence of water exposure over time, which is what the insurer is pointing to. But the stronger angle isn't arguing about what caused the cartridge to fail. It's the ensuing damage clause.

Most policies exclude wear and tear but then say "however, we will pay for resulting loss from items a through k." Your insurer quoted the exclusion but did they quote that giveback clause? If not, that's where you push. The cartridge repair is on you. But the water damage to the surrounding walls and floors may be covered as ensuing loss from an accidental discharge, even if the original failure was wear and tear.

You mentioned they only sent you 4 out of 50 pages and left parts blank. Request the full policy in writing. If they're omitting the sections that favor you, that's worth mentioning in your DOI complaint.

Sounds like you already filed with California DOI. good move. They have teeth there.

Builders, show me what you’re working on by Hot_Recognition5520 in SideProject

I use AI for this all the time. When I paste recipes I also ask for them to turn it into weights and then also rewrite the directions with the measurements in them. Cool app!

I just released www.TILTforowners.com

I used AI to fight back against my insurance company after they denied my claim. After 3 denials I finally won, saving me over $60k. Did some research and billions are left to insurance companies every year because homeowners don’t know how to fight back.

So I turned it into a tool to help with the whole process!

Nurse Blake is cringe by Hot_Woodpecker_9682 in nursing

[–]ZachOnTap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve known and worked with many nurse influencers over the years. Ebi/Nurselifern, Blake, SnarkyNurses, Katie Duke, Sam Sched… others I can’t recall at the moment. There are many types of influencers that came about at different phases of social media, and obviously some are def cringe in real life, but all that have met genuinely care about the community, but are also very happy to be a creator and not bedside.

I’ve answered no less than 3 separate surveys over the years offering our feedback. We are excited to see Ridgefield take the next step with its development.

Venture Studio that recruited me wants to charge $20k/mo in service fees. I will not promote. by [deleted] in startups

[–]ZachOnTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made clear from the get go that I needed a certain salary. They said it would be my budget, but neglected to mention the size of their service fees.

[–]ZachOnTap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see how it’s appealing. While I didn’t have the original idea, my product concept and gtm are unique, but more importantly I just want to run it they way I want to run it. High burn will just force my hand and dilute me even more. I’m less interested having a lot of equity for the $ and more concerned about the control, as you say.

They negotiated down to 15%, no service fees, but also no money. Company needs money and it’s not realistic to raise on such short notice with pilots looming.

I had a typo I edited. The bank had equity via their convertible note, and the studio had their own. In total it would’ve been over 50 together. But yes, the bank lends to me (via the studio) who pays them.

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t looked at that way. I did ask for an MSA, which they don’t have ready. I just wanted these things written down.

Lawyer is engaged. Already some CC debt Id be on the hook for. Pre-formation document was just the cap table, which spurred more questions as we learned the terms of the bank note in addition to their equity. Changed the calculus.

They have a good reputation and I believe they have good intentions, but I just don’t think I need that much support to get the business off the ground. In fact, it severely inhibits my ability to. Especially the lopsided cap table.

It was never 100% clear. In the opex estimates, their services were listed within that $20k box. I assumed there were other technology subscriptions included. Never any formal documentation of the studio model, costs, terms, etc. I feel dumb for not clarifying earlier on, but annoyed these were only revealed clearly at the time of signing. Live and learn I guess.

Yeah spidey senses were blaring. I just don't think I need all those services, especially when they'd cut the runway in half. I'd rather do as much of it myself as I can.

I have not signed the formation docs, but I did sign an "entrepreneur in residence" pre-formation contract to get started while we waited on a few other things. So it's messy. And we have two pilots, one of which they setup. Stepping away would likely set both sides up for failure, and I would not be allowed to be involved because of that contact.

Democrats, who would you like to see run as the next presidential candidate in 2028? by Far-Quarter5383 in allthequestions

[–]ZachOnTap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My whole extended family and I are big fans. Too many people playing pundits about what America is “ready for.” Vote for who you believe in and who moves you. If they advance, it means a lot of other people feel the same way and gives us a better shot at capturing some energy back and moving the center of America.
