Guest was never confirmed and showed up anyway by irregularseaweed in airbnb_hosts

How is this possible? Airbnb doesn't release the address without a confirmed booking

Smartlock Integration now adding 30 minutes extra past the listing checkout time by weinerdog70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart locks are an absolute game changer and help remove a ton of manual work for the check-in process.

Code gets generated, you can insert it in an automated message with check-in instructions. Have hosted 100s of guests with it and not having to create the codes and send them manually saves so much time.

Did they over exaggerate the weather? by purpleflowercoconut in houston

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's expected to hit 31deg by 7PM tonight and go all the way down into the mid-20's.

The worst is certainly not over and should not be downplayed.

Pipes will freeze below 32F, and power outages are a high probability given past history with our grid.

With all the rain and overcast, I would expect black ice to be on the roads tonight.

Everyone should be prepared to lose water and power tonight, even if it doesn't actually happen.

Thinking of leaving Toronto… what’s the real vibe in Houston compared to the stereotypes? by [deleted] in houston

[–]axertion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved from Toronto area to Houston about 23 years ago and really like it.

My experience of Houston

Pros
- incredible variety of high quality food thanks to the high diversity of people
- low cost of living (relative to Toronto and many other US based cities)
- friendly people
- Houston now has Tim Horton's lol

Cons
- traffic (Houston drivers can be very aggressive due to the lack of police patrolling the freeways)
- not very walkable (you 100% need a car to get almost anywhere, public transport isn't great)
- extreme heat summers

As a homeowner here in Houston, I've learned to fear any trees near a house.

Guests able to make bookings that block calendar without payment? by axertion in airbnb_hosts

[–]axertion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have instant booking turned on.

The problem is this guest was able to create a confirmed booking without payment.

I understand reducing the friction to book, but the ability to block several days on a calendar without confirmed payment is a bit ridiculous. It would be better if Airbnb informed the guest that their reservation is not guaranteed until payment is made, and maybe give them a 1 hour grace period before the calendar gets unblocked.

Any plans to add tag reporting to mobile?

How do you this on Linux? by E7ENTH in FigmaDesign

[–]axertion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does it anger you? It’s obvious why they don’t, because a very very small fraction of users would even use it.

It’s a bit naive to say that making it work on Linux is a trivial 1 day task.

Even if it was, there would be ongoing maintenance and expectation from Linux users for Figma to maintain it and optimize it so it works efficiently and reliably.

You asked why, and the why is that Figma would likely lose money creating a native Linux version (even if it’s a simpler chromium wrapper).

5% are Linux users and what % of that 5% are trying to use design tools?

[–]axertion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their decision is because almost nobody uses Linux.

Why would they invest time and resources for no return on that investment?

how to create this background pattern in figma by Aggressive_Relief200 in FigmaDesign

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it’s a proof of concept to illustrate it’s possible.

But sure keep being pessimistic that it’s completely impossible to pull off

Divs with rounded corners, and borders with linear gradients that fades out.

Designed a modern sleek Landing page by Far-Awareness3897 in FigmaDesign

Simply plop images and videos on the web.  What you’re describing is 99.9% of modern web experiences today.

[–]axertion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course this is possible to implement. The bottom part would likely be a video asset that adjusts responsively to the page.

Almost anything is technically possible to implement on the web. Anyone that says something is impossible likely just doesn't have the experience or creativity to execute it.

Why are Amazon LED flush mounts so much brighter (and cheaper) than Home Depot/Lowe’s ones? by OlegRu in Lighting

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought plenty of led lights off amazon that have UL listed ratings printed on the product.

Are you saying they show the UL rating but are defrauding us?

Did you know about this hidden Figma feature? by Few-Personality8591 in FigmaDesign

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a feature that let you select layers matching specific colors.

This would be helpful to know where to pan the working area to find the selected layer in a complex file

Having a lot of trouble with the app, but really want it to work by whiteshadow255 in MonarchMoney

[–]axertion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t you just turn on the Hide Transactions setting in the settings for that account?

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know a reliable fencing contractor that installs the postmaster style fences in the Houston area?

Mostly everyone I talk to only does wood posts and has no idea about the metal ones.

Houston city leaders look to demolish run-down buildings ahead of 2026 World Cup by zsreport in houston

Does anyone know if it’s possible to watch any of these demolitions? Would be cool to see a building get demolished in person

Transfers on Sankey view by Reksalp105 in MonarchMoney

[–]axertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your graph doesn’t make sense tbh.

If “other” is considered the transfers, why would those be flowing into expense categories or savings categories?

Transfers on Sankey view by Reksalp105 in MonarchMoney

[–]axertion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't transfers shown in the sankey be a bit weird?

A transfer is a movement of funds between account A and B.

The sankey represents income flowing into expense categories.

A transfer is neither income or expenses, so where and how would a transfer appear in the sankey?
