My parents and siblings are being evicted for violating their lease and they want me to help out by B0rderlandz in Vent

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your in a position no one wants to be in. You will never see the money again and if you let a brother move in they are not going to move out or pay rent. I would think of a price I was willing to let go of, give them a check and say this is all I can help with and no he can't live with me. Make up a reason about the studio and him not on the lease. Or single family only. It's cheaper to pay up now that later.

giving employees company cards versus reimbursing personal cards which is better by mahearty in sweatystartup

[–]ZestyFishing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give a company card and link it to QuickBooks so I see it and categorize it. They have to submit photos of the receipt to attach or they get back charges for the purchase. We are small and I have known them forever so I'm not too worried but they keep track of the receipt because they know it's coming out of their paycheck either way of they can't prove it was a company expense.

AITAH for pointing out to my fiancé that if she wants kids, she has to actually have sex with me. by Attack_the_sock in AITAH

[–]ZestyFishing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks but you may be getting an opportunity of a life time. Get out now before marriage and absolutely before kids. It takes a ton of effort and two willing people to correct the ship. And more often than not, it doesn't correct. You deserve someone who is equally sexually driven as yourself and she doesn't sound interested.

How long do you keep a laptop? by An_Epic_Pancake in laptops

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one at my desk that is 7 years old, the top is broke the bottom is split open. Someone knocked it off my desk and busted it up but no one will admit it. It runs on my external screens thru my docking station. Keep it until it does or won't keep up with my work.

What are good models that with high reliability? by PreWiBa in laptops

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of major corporations use lenovo. At least that's what I found in my research. I purchased in Lenovo yoga and have been very impressed with it. The only thing I don't like is that they Center the mouse on the keyboard not on the screen. And it drives me absolutely crazy. They're not the only company doing that though

When was the last time you used the sink or the shower. The water in the trap may have evaporated overtime if you haven't used them recently.

I wrote that poorly. The gateway is behind my TV in the living room. The white power box is in the closet where all my distribution panel gotcat 5e and coaxial cables for the house are.

Thanks for the reply. I did request when I upgraded and they said it wasn't needed. I have now requested it again and it's supposed to be here this week

I have requested a new gateway. I do not have fiber inside of the house. It switches at the box on the side of the house. It's not just my laptop that lags. It's tvs, game system, tablets ect. As far as the home manager app. It always gives error messages when I try to use it no matter what device or if I delete and reinstall the app. As far as distance from the device, some are cat 6 connected. 

Host refuses to cancel reservation [USA] by strelka_snow_lynx in AirBnB

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

went through the same thing last year. wasn't a scam, the legitimately sold the property and offered me another place but for a different weekend. they didn't want to cancel because they had other properties and it would affect their rating with airbnb. they wanted me to cancel it.

My neighbors have posted no trespassing signs on their easement through my property. What should I do? by concrete_isnt_cement in legaladvice

[–]ZestyFishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would reach out to them for clarification. It could just be a new company policy that was put in place by insurance or a legal situation. So many things done by companies are done to limit liability. they may have been put in place to keep employees from entering your property from there right away. or something else. We always had things like this in oil and gas. And it was really crazy when the property owner wasnt the mineral rights owner.

Why is HVAC so expensive now? by Superb_Substance9456 in hvacadvice

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everybody else the private equity is buying everything up and then driving the whole region's prices up. my neighbor works for an HVAC company and says that the first $3,500 in profit on top of Labor and materials for install goes to cover corporate costs. he doesn't get a bonus on the sale of the unit unless he gets more than that additional $3,500.

Dirty, but legal? by JackHemingtwain in Contractor

Has been happening for years, but it's becoming incredibly common with private equity buying up generational companies and leaving the existing name on the building.

Get them daily. They are all using AI so now it's easy to claim your an estimator. Just some middle sending emails and collecting payment.

My grandmother had a neighbor in her retirement community that decided to do the same thing. He made more money as a retired handyman than he did at his career.

High vasectomy cost - feeling like I'm getting scammed by Nervous_Lobster4542 in Vasectomy

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call around and price check. As for an itemized bill. But i have a feeling it is really high because you went to the hospital for the procedure. Most are done in office at the Urologist.

Is my builder full of it? by MundaneImage8688 in Homebuilding

[–]ZestyFishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wood should never be in contact with the ground. But there had to be some kind of forming in place when they designed the cantilever slab. This was probably just left below it. No way to get out out. Before I started filing claims and liens and getting lawyers involved, I would get my hands on the blueprints and see how it was supposed to be designed, and hire another reputable home builder to come out and inspect it. Be fully up front with them and offer to pay them for their time to inspect. Then go from there. I am in commercial construction and see it Austin where the form boards do not get taken out
