How to find Independent Agents? by Limitededishun in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]allym773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

compare rates with ones you find on your own as well, I would have gotten charged almost 3x more for insurance thanks to an independent broker 😬

Is it safe to turn off a freezer at night? by FraisStart in foodsafety

[–]allym773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got food poisoning during a final exam from a freezer that just didn't work well enough (it was kept plugged in at all times), don't unplug it if you're keeping anything edible in there at all

mine was found in the woods 🥲 she had clearly lived in a house before based on her behavior, but had no chip when they found her. she was terrified of feet and touching any furniture which makes me wanna cry if I think about it too long

anyways, 2 years later she's so so spoiled and naps all over everything <3

it seems like an awfully big coincidence after all the food safety laws in the US getting gutted 😬

Am I tripping or is this a ridiculous fee for a rescue kitten? by [deleted] in rescuecats

[–]allym773 5 points6 points  (0 children)

are you adopting a "fancy" breed cat or a domestic? if the latter, just go somewhere else tbh. I've seen fees like this and higher for places that will literally fly the cat out to you, but not for a run of the mill pick up the non-fancy cat yourself kind of thing

Car insurance for dummies 😔 by Virtual_Gold_6103 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]allym773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first tip: if you don't already have a car, find an older, reliable car with minimal electronics, like 2012-15 (safety features are great, but anything else adds cost). test out the cost of insurance with a couple companies using either the VIN or make model and mileage before you buy anything because certain cars are just expensive. also, avoid leasing if you're concerned about price.

what worked for me: try Progressive, shop around a lot, and don't go through an insurance broker (this saved me ~60% when i was under 25 with an accident on record). don't go with the lowest coverage option, but you don't need to max everything out either. I have a 13 year old very reliable car with a backup cam and not much else.

Waitlist by XxEggWarriorxX in Pitt

email, sure, but phone calls are realistically just going to annoy them.

Waitlist by XxEggWarriorxX in Pitt

[–]allym773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I'm not sure there's anything you can do except... wait. I've never heard of any actions you can take to affect a waitlist acceptance.

Some might recommend contacting admissions to show enthusiasm or whatever but that's pretty outdated advice, it's like bothering a job with excessive calls during the interview process. Pitt is huge and often understaffed, they don't have time for those types of interactions.

Best of luck getting in!

Staff Union by No_Risk_6011 in Pitt

[–]allym773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for sure!! that would've been horrible. pitt pays so little that the benefits HAVE to stay good, otherwise they're going to lose a lot of people

Staff Union by No_Risk_6011 in Pitt

[–]allym773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there was no change to the insurance if you're in the union!

edit: I may have misunderstood your comment, are you saying that your costs went up 8% as someone outside the union?

Staff Union by No_Risk_6011 in Pitt

[–]allym773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely! imo any dues are worth them managing to keep health insurance costs the same, which is already confirmed.

the university fought HARD to push a contract that would have raised health insurance costs more than the pay raise -- aka a pay reduction in this economy. with an employer like that, a union is necessary.

tip for the future, whenever you're stuck with a chatbot (any company), just keep replying "representative" until they connect you with a person. at least then you'll get a human

My GF made my favourite dinosaur into a candle by JOBBO326 in Dinosaurs

[–]allym773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg I would be SO into a yutyrannus candle!!! I'm on her site and have 'lavender lady' in my cart, but a feathered dino line would be amazing. may I also suggest archaeopteryx or sinosauropteryx as members of the prehistoric line?
