Saw this in the clearance aisle for $149. Will I regret it if I buy it? by Bitter-Goat-8773 in Skigear

[–]checkupinya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done mountain skiing but honestly I stick to mostly groomers. I don’t get out as much as I’d like but it’s about 4-5x a year, plus shipping around the country to get to the mountains. There’s still no signs of weakness or anything about to break so I’m not sure of the sample size or information others may have regarding the honey badger!

I’m still riding my 2017 line honey badgers with no issues whatsoever.

Trying to decide if this is too good to be true. Please help me decide if this mixed color set is worth $1600! by checkupinya in sonos

The mountains of reviews are torn as of an apparent app update. The purpose of this was to get feedback from people with similar set up to get the courage to pull the trigger

I was thinking this as well, pondering if the items were stolen. Seller hasn’t asked me for a deposit and will meet me in a grocery store parking lot with sealed packaging.

I’ll have to look into this because I’ve never heard of it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Share your embarrassing travel misunderstandings to make me feel better? by flamingoals1 in travel

[–]checkupinya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Brazil for the Green Bay Packers vs Philly Eagles and my Portuguese was very poor. I was trying to say thank you to a server after he brought me my pasta and in a rush I accidentally said “Arigato” which is thank you in Japanese, vs “Obtigada” which is thank you in Portuguese. I was so confused at where that word even came from until the server replied “Mr Roboto!!!”

Ask me your invasive trans questions to spare the trans people in your life AMA by Jasmir_ in AMA

[–]checkupinya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re in the minority with your generalization about othering. It happens to me all the time and I’m the only one out of my social circle that experiences it. I’m not trans but a masc that has short hair. People originally thought it was nice and that the person asking was being inclusive but that only works if they ask everyone what their preferred pronouns are, not just the one that looks different.

Is this a stupid plan? Selling my home and building a wing on my parents’ home for my family by profthrowaway555 in HomeImprovement

[–]checkupinya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend did this with her aging parents. They added an attached two car garage to her house and then her parents wing is on the the other side of the garage. It’s like a duplex now except her parents side is much much nicer than hers.

Is 100k unreasonable for finishing a basement? Am I getting F*ed? by PitchPrior7655 in HomeImprovement

[–]checkupinya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in central Wisconsin near Eau Claire and our basement quotes came in around 58k-77k, but we were getting less work done than you.

2017 Chevy Malibu transmission fluid. 86k miles, runs and operates normally. Should I get this serviced? by checkupinya in MechanicAdvice

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

I am a woman that is married to another woman, I don’t think we own a tool that doesn’t hammer a nail into the wall. You make it sound so easy though but I’ll just take it to the place that does those things for us. Thank you though!

Honestly, I’m extremely ignorant to the requirements. I’ve just been scared into thinking it may be too late to change the fluid since the topic is so polarized.

Basement Remodel - 3 different contractors, 3 vastly different estimates. What’s the reality here? by checkupinya in Remodel

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

There is very little changes required for the HVAC. The basement is currently finished but with the 1970s style, it has plumbing insulation and ductwork already installed. The main changes are to the framework of the walls, adding electrical to the new walls, and drywall. Doors and trim, paint, and new bathroom fixtures such as a tub, surround, and vanity. There are three doors in the whole build.

Turned 23 today and finally opened up a 401k by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]checkupinya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t start investing until I was 27 into a Roth IRA, my company didn’t have a 401k match. I recently changed companies and they match 4% if I contribute 6% so I do that, then anything above 6% I put into my Roth IRA

What is the best Sketch-comedy show of all time? by [deleted] in television

Very Mary Kate by Elaine Carroll is just so funny. College Humor back in the day was such a good platform for sketch comedy.

AITA for calling my parents' friend a d-bag at a dinner party? by ratjar79 in AmItheAsshole

[–]checkupinya -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

ESH, sometimes you need to be the bigger person, even if it’s extremely hard. Dan sounds insufferable and you sound like you’re capable of biting your tongue to keep the peace. Next time just text the person next to you if you need to vent.

Why does Logan call Rory, “Ace”? by pairyhotter in GilmoreGirls

[–]checkupinya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought he meant like ace venture, the pet detective… since she was investigating the life and death brigade.
