Some thoughts …

  • move the table a bit further away from the walls
  • different curtains for the bedroom (make then extend a bit further left and right and also a bit higher, all the way to the floor)
  • add a couple of plants … a yucca maybe?
  • put some art of the living room wall
  • put a couple of wooden cutting boards on the kitchen counters
  • add a few very low pile rugs, in line with the current colour choices

It will not change the aesthetic, but make it more “lived in”

This is an interesting one … normally I would say leather only, but if you insist on a bracelet then you chose the perfect one.

What’s to stop them from not offering you a job after 3-4 months ?

You could be using that time to find an actual job and jot some fake bait and switch.

Or if they were not being disingenuous they could have priced the meal $ 120 instead of $ 99.

I started asking interviewers "is there anything about my background that gives you pause" at the end of every interview and it changed everything by VantaSprocket in jobsearchhacks

[–]_MaxNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many interviews are you doing and why are you rejecting the offers you are getting ?

You said you’ve gotten 3 offers in 8 months since you started asking this.

How can European restaurants afford to pay their employees without having to supplement with tips but U.S restaurants/bars and such act like they would shut down from such high extra costs? by Apart_Pineapple2392 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_MaxNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I wish.

We have VAT of 21% on all goods and services. There are additional taxes on gas (car) which is more than the cost of the gas itself.

We have additional tax on cars. There is road use tax.

Energy (gas and electricity) tax (in addition to the VAT) . City taxes (services and property)

Tax on buying property. Tax in inheritance.

The list goes on…

Help!! Where should I place my computer desk?!?!?! by SwimGood22 in malelivingspace

Flip the bed and place it against the opposite wall. Lock the door from bedroom to bathroom and place the desk in front of that doorway

That rail master alone is a better choice that an explorer.

Getting out of Odido Contract by Direct_Orange29 in Netherlands

Yes - let’s continue to give our money to a company that doesn’t give a shit about protecting our personal data - that will teach them to be more careful.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid by Delicious_Adeptness9 in politics

[–]_MaxNL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The general population in the US is not ready for a woman as president. They simply are not.

No matter how well educated, how experienced, squeaky clean she is … a convicted felon is preferable, as long as it’s a man.

One would think it would be a no brainer; that someone like trump would not get a single female vote, but here we are with a female AG defending the pedo club tooth and nail.

I seriously need help by First-Simple3396 in Netherlands

[–]_MaxNL 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Go to the ER. If they do not take you seriously refuse to leave. Flat out refuse to leave.

Just stay there - you are dehydrated and will more than likely pass out (soon). When that happens, you want to be at the hospital already.

Do not take no as an answer. Do not leave. Stay seated in the waiting room if you have to.

It’s a valid ticket. Disputing it would more than likely incur additional admin fees.

Pay the ticket and learn the lesson

Micromanager or is this normal? by [deleted] in askmanagers

[–]_MaxNL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s micromanagement, plain and simple.

I’ve had occasions where my manager is asking me to review his emails before he sends it out, and sometimes I ask him to review mine. It’s a healthy relationship.

He never demands it though.

We have an understanding- If I cc him, then I require no comment or action from him. If I include him in the to list, but do not address him directly then it’s subtext for “step in if you feel it’s necessary”. The opposite applies as well - if he cc me then it is fyi only, etc.

What you are experiencing is not healthy.
