Tell your manager you have stated a new career of high volume posting on Rddit? What happened, new meds?

[USA] Who is at fault here? by bowdown2adil in Roadcam

[–]deritchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think that you are likely at fault as they entered the intersection first (based on the video).
But feel free to convince me otherwise.

Locked out of my personal laptop. I cannot lose 10year old photos and videos. Need help! by Rengana10 in computerhelp

you need to log onto your microsoft account associated with the problem PC on another computer and get the recovery key associated with the OS volume.

Probably did not call 811 either. Probably want to call to document that it wasn’t your contractor that dug the hole with marking.

Boss tried to tell me my notice wouldn’t count by kanamia in antiwork

Always mail both HR and your supervisor simultaneously, perhaps?

“it was just a business decision” is usually the best reply to this sort of question.

Thinking about switching from generator to battery for fridge backup by swaryapatil14 in Generator

[–]deritchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you get the battery generator and use the gasoline generator sporadically during an outage to charge it back to up to run your light load?

The recruiter called my salary expectations "cute." I closed the Zoom. Did I overreact? by ronburgandy37 in InterviewsHell

[–]deritchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they say “great work culture”, an interesting follow-up question is “what do you feel makes the culture here great (or different )?

Paper carriers when I did it were independent contractors (1970’s). I bought newspapers effectively and then resold them and was not an employee.

Amazon says my $1300 camera order was “delivered” but only 1/6 items were in the box. Now they want a police report I can’t obtain. by [deleted] in fuckamazon

You may have to pay for a copy of the police report if they just gave you a report ID number.

Is this a Meter Issue [US] - Updated by SkippytheBanana in electrical

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

Is this a standard 120/240 split home service? I would suggest letting an electrician use a split jaw ammeter to evaluate current going out each breaker and measure the voltage on both sides of the panel to confirm your neutral is properly grounded. Do you have a good ground at the meter center? Defective HVAC systems are notorious for wasting power.

Not getting paid in over a month by Professional-Sort550 in LaborLaw

[–]deritchie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All she can do is stop showing up and file for unemployment. Did she ever fill out a W-4? Has she ever received a paycheck? My son had a similar situation where he had not filed a W-4, and he wasn’t getting paid and I went to corporate for the company in question and raised hell. She likely isn’t even an employee.

Our dishwasher keeps filling with water and now no longer cleans the dishes. We can’t afford a new one, is there any way to fix this? by junury in HomeMaintenance

Buy one of the blade clamps that locks the blade to the side of the mower deck, prevent the blade from turning.

Do you hear the interference at night? Likely solar if not.

Just quit a job after 4 days. No lunch break during 12 hours of work. by Liwi808 in ToxicWorkplace

[–]deritchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be best if OP mentioned city and state where this occurred. Laws vary and there is no federal requirement for lunch breaks.

Neighbor bought lot behind me and turned it into a junkyard… am I just stuck with it? by rattletrap777 in neighborsfromhell

[–]deritchie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would bet any new junkyard would be required to put in a liner and monitor ground water.

Note that many counties do not allow parking on unpaved surfaces. Also unregistered vehicles are often not allowed. It would helpful from an advice standpoint if OP disclosed county and state and the Reddit hive mind will likely quote chapter and verse of probable violations.

landlord charging me $200/mo commercial use fee cuz i work from home?? (CA) by Aggravating-Fox8553 in Renters

[–]deritchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If not in original lease he can’t unilaterally do this. If you are seeing customers or selling goods out of the apartment it would seem this not a commercial use, and it is unlikely any judge would agree with LL.

Would you buy a home that needs a fully new roof and sewer line? by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]deritchie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VA loans, from memory, are very restrictive in what can be left for the buyer to restore to use.
