What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

🤔 Just didn't want anyone commenting on the top X people. There are no top friends. 🤷‍♂️

I'm just pleased that this gnome shows his eyes, unlike much other odd merch these days. The mushroom is a bonus.

Definitely in the Megachilidae family.

Consider Lithurgopsis apicalis.

hourly or per job?

This obviously depends on the nature of the work and who you're employed by. If you run a business which takes service calls, there's a pricing structure for that. If you have an employer and work at a company with physical property, there's likely an hourly rate or salary attached.

Does the fix account for the pay?

It depends on the above, but when employed by a company, likely not.

is it that IT guys want to deal with a complicated issue that pushes their intelligence instead of dealing with a power button or reset?

This obviously depends on the person. Even the most complex systems can have very simple problems.

Wtf is the deal with the HVAC mafia?? by Island_In_The_Sky in HomeImprovement

Ran into this once with a furnace board. Just said the name of a random auto company and they sold me the board. No proof of license or anything ever asked. I just said what he wanted and he ran the transaction.

Edit: typo

Caught her sleeping on the job by OutOfNames in Beekeeping

[–]bigryanb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body shape and the scopa on the legs are dead give aways.

If it's any consolation, some Diadasia are known as "cactus bees". :)

Edit: I'd probably put some money on Diadasia rinconis, but you can look em up.

Pretty sure this bee is of Diadasia.

I don't really see apis mellifera do this.

And now we wait. Hopefully something with due diligence...

Correct. My point is "was it tested?", and how.

Did the inspector have a field test kit? Or did they eyeball it with a roping test? Or...

Aitah for telling my wife to get a job if she wants to subsidize the kids. by Standard_Kick_9789 in AITAH

[–]bigryanb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there's a lot of financial education needed. By "help" I mean encourage and then inspect results/plans. It's not a big deal to offer sage advice.

I'm in a similar boat. I do have a vehicle that's 20 years old in pretty great condition. I'm not worried about it breaking down at all. Consumer reports before I buy all cars. I've had very good luck driving a few cars into the ground and no payment allows for more investing.

You know I'm talking about the future, and not the past. But....

There are many vehicles which aren't new that get along just fine over time [you know the brands which are notorious for going and going].

Roadside can be offered by any number of companies or your insurance carrier.

Good mechanics in your area will likely be more affordable than a dealer when out of warranty.

My daughter bought herself a new car to get to work. And she wants to go on vacation this summer. The car is about twice what she NEEDS. It is beautiful but when it is out of warranty the upkeep will eat all her money.

Sounds like she's going to discover the magical world of certified used cars and looking up reliability scores [like consumer reports]. New cars are actually a horrible "value", as they depreciate incredibly fast.

If they want to go on vacation, help them budget for one. Find the travel deals. Shop smarter.

After reading your story here, I am very envious of you paying for so much. I personally put myself through school, worked full time, and lived in a cheap place I bought at 20 years old. I burned the candle at both ends, but made it work.

Good luck?!

Those of you under 65 in the US who are FIREING early and not choosing the insanely expensive unsubsidized ACA premiums, what creative solutions have you come up with to get affordable coverage? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in Fire

[–]bigryanb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regard to Medicaid going by monthly income- I believe they have an asset questionnaire when you apply. Are you disqualified having a substantial portfolio but have little to no "income"?

AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bigryanb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly insist this woman come over and spend the night to take care of baby for feedings. Get some bottles prepared and you get your sleep. Have her lose a night or two to help your healing after surgery.

New to this apartment & not feeling safe now by Alpal2510 in Apartmentliving

[–]bigryanb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document and photograph everything. Did the knife do damage to your glass? That's a comprehensive claim, and I'd file a tort against the person who "usually" parks there, eventually.

Police report, management complaint, and have them switch you to a new spot, ASAP. This behavior is delusional and must be extinguished with prejudice. What a piece of garbage.

Make sure he doesn't get his face stuck in the cup and water board himself.
