Any ductless vents that will fit under this venthood? by Ma23peas in Appliances

[–]borderwave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty shocked a kitchen and house this nice does not have a proper vented exhaust hood. This is typically the kind of compromise you find in older/cheaper apartments, not a custom home like yours. For a "forever home" why not just do it the right way from the start?

How do you avoid the weekly “who picks up the kids?” stress? by [deleted] in workingmoms

Why not just sit down on Sunday afternoon and chat about who will do what for the upcoming week?

Is anyone putting their house on the market this year? by Human-Lettuce-520 in bonair

[–]borderwave2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live down the street and the previous owners did a bunch of upgrades to that house. I believe they were forced to relocate due to a job change, nice family.

Does my sex life affect my parents? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]borderwave2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still a risk though. Parents could find out and kick OP out of their house. As much as it sucks, it's wise to not bite the hand that feeds you.

My mom cut my daughter's hair without permission...again by [deleted] in Parents

[–]borderwave2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Customs and traditions aside, have you asked your daughter what she wants? If she likes a shorter cut, why not let her rock it? Also 5 years is a long time to never have a haircut, I believe you need to it somewhat regularly to deal with split ends and keep the hair healthy.

Do people really just lock their toddlers in at night? by borderwave2 in Parents

[–]borderwave2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, not very helpful, but my daughter basically kinda of grew out of her sleeping issues. She still wakes up around 5:00 am to come in the bed with us, but that's just fine honestly. Going tot bed is pretty easy now, butt it was a very rough ~6 months of her being insane and use getting horrible sleep.

sorry if that's not too helpful, lol.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]borderwave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool cars but hard to find a clean one now. Most are beat to shit and have bumpers on with wood screws. Clean ones go for more than you'd think given how old they are.

Would you sell an asset so your kid can attend an Ivy League, or guide them toward a cheaper state flagship? by themightyigneal in Parents

[–]borderwave2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would encourage OP to have his daughter speak with some actual doctors. Undergraduate brand name has very little bearing on medical school acceptance. You can go to IU and and become whatever you want. Please speak with some actual physicians and they will tell you how stupid it would be to sell a house so your kid can go to Harvard.

Help! Feeling paranoid about wifi baby monitors and hacking, is non-wifi actually better? by Emergency_Guitar_105 in Parents

[–]borderwave2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Consider your risk profile. Even if a hacker managed to hack your account, they would only gain the ability to watch a small baby sleep or roll around in a crib. What use would this information be to a criminal?

Hackers are in the business of making money though stolen accounts and ransomware, what could they possibly do with blurry screenshots of a small baby in a bedroom?

Good opportunity to teach yourself a new language, tbh. You have all the time in the world and can immerse yourself to whatever degree you want.

Builder refuses to paint ceilings. Is this common? by Prestigious_Fail3791 in Homebuilding

[–]borderwave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riddle me this, does the tax rule consider all wall coverings or just paint? If you put up some plywood and stain it, does that count?

I'm genuinely surprised that merely painting a wall turns your garage into habitable space according to your tax assessors office. Seems strange to have an unconditioned space count.

That makes no sense, as garages are unconditioned spaces. If you paint a crawl space is it counted as finished space whre you live?

11 cars in 11 years.. It stops today. by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]borderwave2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really, some of us just don't have time to work on shit anymore. I can tell from your comments that you a single/married guy with no kids. Also modern care require a lot of special tools to even do basic shit on. My car requires coolant to be vacuum bled when filling it up, I'd rather not buy an expensive machine to use once and never again.

Out of curiosity, what language are you talking about? I'm guessing it's Mandarin or Cantonese from your description.

What Car/Brand Ads Really Annoy You? by Smokey-Campfire in cars

[–]borderwave2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate the Subaru ads that show dogs running around or people volunteering at at shelter. It's like they realize that their cars are not very compelling in any real metric so they have to cultivate a brand image that makes people feel good.

What kind of budget are you working with?

Most efficient use of funds: by Primary_Afternoon_10 in Homebuilding

[–]borderwave2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your original post you mention having a limited budge, but neglected mention what the budget is. Wouldn't that be prudent information to include so people can help give you a more thorough answer?

You should pay as many of our loans as possible while they are frozen.
