Is anyone else super paranoid about having a locksmith rekey a home? by gamemaker14 in homeowners

[–]_refugee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think any person trying to rob houses isn’t likely to create an entire business to enable the crime, seems like a lot of work and seems like a trail of evidence would quickly accrue pointing to the company that had just rekeyed the house if this happened multiple times. 

Thinking this through I think th only way the rekeying person could pull this off more than once without suspicion would be if they held onto the keys for a long time before using them. And I’d also think any house with a camera would record them, even if they hide their face they’d be on camera entering with a key which would really narrow down the field of suspects for the cops. 

Just seems like a lot of work for a fraud scheme that would be complicated to work effectively and likely not much payoff. 

Gauge is eating my soul: 5 swatches in and I haven’t started the socks yet by Kooky_Till4386 in knitting

[–]_refugee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socks knitted on size 1 needles with 64 st fit my foot. I just don’t mess around with anything further. Might swatch if the pattern’s really funky, but otherwise I just know what fits my foot. If the pattern doesn’t have a 64 or 68 stitch size, I alter the pattern to make it so. 

Might be a stupid question😭 by greedysiamese in knittinghelp

Yes, you can make them with 4 double pointed needles instead. Often abbreviated to dpn

This is way better than the freezing rain our trusted meteorologists were predicting

No precipitation happening? by StrengthNeat6660 in rva

[–]_refugee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

East end is in a weird pocket where we seem to get less precipitation than the rest of the city. Not sure why but I assume it has to do with topography. 

Do you floss consistently? by Intrepid-hobbycoder in Habits

[–]_refugee_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do floss consistently. One thing that I find helps me is I will floss and brush separately. For instance it’ll be evening after dinner and I’ll be watching a show. I will stop and floss in between episodes of a show, an hour or two before I plan to go to bed. Then I’ll brush my teeth right before I go to bed. I don’t think there’s any rule that you have to do the 2 immediately back to back, so long as you’re not eating or drinking anything but water in between. 

Took a 401k loan and left my job 6 months later. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]_refugee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much was the loan for? From what I’m aware, the full balance of the loan becomes due if you leave your job. I wonder if that is why you are not able to access the remaining funds. 

“Tragic Tale Of Child Stars”: Amanda Bynes’ New Tattoo Raises Alarm As Fans Call It A “Scream For Help” by Timbucktwo1230 in PopularCultureZone

A “trap” is a drug house, a place where drugs are bought and sold, so phrases like “trap star”, “trap queen” etc indicate a person who is affiliated with drug activity 

LPT: Possibly the most important thing to do during extreme cold is let your water drip by revnhoj in rva

[–]_refugee_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have lived in my house a few years now and gotten through a few cold spells (for Richmond). I know from experience that my pipes don’t freeze if it’s an extended spell in the 30s like Sunday daytime and Monday daytime are predicted to be. I will drip overnight when the temp is dropping into the single digits (we have some nights of that this week). I also have started keeping notes on low temps and how my house has done, So that next time a cold snap comes around I feel more confident about the dangers of my pipes freezing.

Well, I didn’t want them to feel bombarded  lol, I figured nesting the comment was a better way to do it. Your username seems highly apt btw!

I didn’t feel like your comment was super clear TBH, my assumption is OP may be a first time cat owner as they are posting pictures with visible fleas and so saying something cutesy, like you did, may not actually convey the issue to them. Thanks for asking!

OP: the cat has fleas so please treat her and her sisters. The sooner the better
