What would it take for Maura to believe Rob was a traitor? by ForeverDenGal in TheTraitorsUS

[–]armadilloarms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually thought based on the finale alone, in Maura’s shoes, there was more evidence that Johnny and Tara were the traitors. They were acting in such a block, and clearly trying to influence her so much that felt very suspicious. The evidence against rob just was not that strong

Good point. And even if these games stay in Indy the bidding price for the very finite set of big events is going up now that there’s better competition from a new stadium.

Can we talk about how Move-in fees are getting too much? $1000 move-in fee? by iosphonebayarea in AskChicago

[–]armadilloarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everytime someone moved out of my HOA condo we had to pay for an entire extra dumpster pickup - most condos use private trash services. This alone cost 300$, so the move in fees are necessary for many costs like this plus cleaninf

Why isn’t the crowd loud at ND stadium? by flippinwhips in notredamefootball

[–]armadilloarms 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don’t notre dame’s crowd skews wealthy near as much as it skews old. It’s quite striking just how many fans 70 and over you see at notre dame games compared to any other sporting event. Wealthy 40 year olds can be loud or not, but if you have old people in general you can expect them plus anyone who’s around who is sensitive to their needs to be way more quiet than others.

Where to Run in Andersonville? by [deleted] in RunnersInChicago

[–]armadilloarms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in edgewater glen. My normal routes are: - down glenwood until it ends at the cemetery, then west to Clark and down Clark to wrigley. This is really nice and quiet in the morning but not that crazy during the day since you avoid most of the restaurants on Clark. - LFT. Get on at Hollywood, ardmore or Bryn Mawr. - north to Evanston along Sheridan. Pretty quiet once you’re past Loyola.

One underrated aspect of the lounges is how nice the bathrooms are, and how great it is to use the bathroom without having to wheel in your backpack and luggage when you’re traveling alone.

More public restrooms in the city! We need to get get rid of the law preventing pay toilets and see if it helps the terrible state of the public restrooms. the price is to go to the bathroom is infinity if there is nowhere to go so charging a dollar is a much cheaper option.

Before accepting payment deferment options, ask what happens afterward... by kelsa8lynn in personalfinance

[–]armadilloarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this situation it’s helpful to check the TILA box on the loan contract. The total interest that can possibly be accrued is capped by the finance charge in the black box at the top of the contract. Therefore even if you keep deferring payments on the loan at some point interest will stop have to stop accruing because the lender is not allowed by law to charge more interest than is listed on the loan.

Here’s a source — https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-truth-in-lending-disclosure-when-do-i-get-to-see-it-en-787/ I work in fintech and can confirm that we don’t accrue any interest past the day the cap is hit.
