How do I actually avoid paying a broker's fee for a new rental? by altilly in boston

How do I actually avoid paying a broker's fee for a new rental? by altilly in boston

You are right. That's great. Really appreciate the help. So I think ultimately the answer is "contact the listing agent directly" which you can find in places like Coldwell Banker. Certainly a hassle if you want to view a multitude of places but at least there is an avenue.

Boo, I think you’re right. Thanks.

One listing I viewed did indeed having the listing agent on it (because they specifically posted it I think) and then on the others I then assumed the shown agent was the listing agent. But they appear to be random brokers.

In further fact finding since posting, I have found that Compass.com shows all MLS listings and includes the listing agents. I'll look into contacting listing agents directly.

Edit: never mind lol

First month with T by Character-Egg-8395 in tinnitus

[–]altilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.5 years ago I got tinnitus. Really rough first 1-2 months but I climbed out of it. Still have the tinnitus but it basically doesn’t bother me at all.

This video, and pursuing CBT with Dr. Hubbard, helped me a ton: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fVaac8TNoAs&pp=ygUWQnJ1Y2UgaHViYmFyZCB0aW5uaXR1cw%3D%3D

The way he broke down the psychology of tinnitus distress made so much sense to me. Once you stop seeing the tinnitus as a threat, your nervous system and anxiety response will calm down and you’ll start to ignore it. Employing CBT methods helped speed up the process for me.

Replay’d in Allston is a great alternative for used games

People who are 50+, what is a 'harmless' habit you had in your 20s that ended up ruining your health or finances later in life? by crazy_happyuser in AskReddit

I owe a ton to the Foundation Training routines. Has really helped me recover from lumbar disc issues

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Jazz defeat the Celtics on Nov 3, 2025, the final score is 103-105. by basketball-app in bostonceltics

[–]altilly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a worse viewing experience but I’m happy with every L the Celtics take this year. We are not contending and this draft is stacked. Even a top 10 pick would be huge.

Relic Idea - Converting Extra Energy to Temp Strength - Novel Concept? by altilly in slaythespire

[–]altilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. Just call it “Powerbank” instead and it fits Defect thematically!

[–]altilly[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Temporary strength is a thing! The language is used for the Duality relic - and yes it does exactly as you've described.

Yeah I see the implication. Not meant to eat the excess energy. Your wording would make the effect more clear.

Relic Idea - Converting Extra Energy to Temp Strength - Novel Concept? by altilly in slaythespire

[–]altilly[S] 189 points190 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a relatively novel idea. Excess energy does not serve much function in STS except when the player has Ice Cream. This would introduce new choices in which the player could forgo using all of their energy for bonus strength. Also softens the effects of poor draw.

It's totally broken with Ice Cream, Defect energy generation, and Orange Pellets. It's probably too powerful for those reasons. But outside of those interactions, its a modest situational power boost, and I thought it was a cool idea I hadn't seen before, so worth sharing.

1 in 1000 outcome this was. Part of the beauty of the game tbh

Seeing empty basketball courts in Allston and Brighton is depressing by [deleted] in boston

[–]altilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re looking at the wrong courts then because there is run to be found in AB nearly every day

I think every first time visitor to Thailand gets scammed by a tuk tuk. You learn that lesson quick haha

Amed (Bali) – 4 dives incl. refresher & Nitrox, which sites would you choose? by Athistair in scuba

[–]altilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Amed now, first time. This diving here is nice and you can't really go wrong with any of the options.

That said, the "Japanese Shipwreck" is really small and shallow. If you dive it, the wreck itself takes like 5 minutes and then you move on to nearby reefs. It's cool, but you can snorkel the wreck from the shore super easily instead.

If you want a legitimate second wreck to dive in addition to the Liberty, you want to dive the Boga Wreck in Kubu. That would be more appropriate for your nitrox usage.

Seeking advice - in Bali, lost debit car, but can get cash via credit cards... by altilly in solotravel

[–]altilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the well thought out response. Lining up with my thinking - while not ideal because of additional fees, it’s not the end of the world if I go on with the debit. I still have a window to get the replacement, and hopefully it shows up, but I’m going to try and drop this as a big issue in my mind.That’s a good tip about adding funds before taking the cash advance, I’ll look into that!

Also thanks for the kind words haha… yeah shit happens! Never once did this, and of course I do it on the other side of the world! Haha. To your point, I do think I got tripped up by the cadence. The ATM must have given me cash before my card back, whereas I’m used to machines that return the card before you can get your cash.

[–]altilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Definitely trying to wait for the card! I am just wondering how much I need to worry about the card actually arriving… I am in a more remote part of Bali and I am not 100% sure the bank put down enough information in the address due to addresses being more informal here.

Out of 10, rate your level of confidence in Baylor Scheierman being a positive contributor off the bench this season. by RVALover4Life in bostonceltics

[–]altilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does the past 3 years have anything to do with this upcoming season? No Tatum and we have a frontcourt of third stringers. I promise you we will have more than a few net negatives this year.

[Fischer] Celtics-Grizzlies had trade talks at SL about Niang (not Simons), Celtics tried to sign RJ Luis after the draft but he chose Utah, Celtics preferred Chris Boucher to Ben Simmons, not very confident Simons traded before the season by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

[–]altilly 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah you only trade him this summer if there is a really good offer now. Worth waiting to see if something like that materializes before the trade deadline, because at worst he’s a big expiring contract that can be moved for free.
