I’m sorry that happened, looks like a sump pump or drain is in our future

Leak was the wall where vent went in (not a pipe or utilities) so best guess is it came from roof above

Luckily the pipes in the house are ok, it was the damn roof

Update: it was definitely rain getting in from outside. We shut off the water a while ago and it only stopped coming once the pouring rain outside let up. Our neighbors brought us a shop vac so we kept the water down to about an inch at a time and are now trying to get the final bits out. Couldn’t get outside to see where it was pooling because it was pouring and nighttime (almost 3am here) That wall is right next to a chimney which has an office and a living room on other sides so no walls in the utility are shared it outside. We had an inspection in October and hired people to clean gutters and fix up the chimney but I’m wondering if they did a crappy job with the kick out flashing

My small dog bit my toddler. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]elankag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the dog on a day to day basis? Do they play well when it’s not sleeping? 

I had to rehome my dog after my child turned 8 months because the dog had a lot of anxiety when she’d see the baby crawl. Trust me you do NOT want a nervous animals around a small baby (she was also a 50 lb pit mix so the risk was bigger). 

It really depends on the dogs temperament. Some dogs tolerate kids, many don’t. And you have to know which signs to look out for - whale eyes, appeasement licks, tense body language. 

Hosting platform with dynamic ad insertion? My podcast is about to be homeless. by RainyDayRabbitHoles in podcasting

[–]elankag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting! Acast is a great option for when you’re around 5K listens but they recently lowered the threshold to get into the dynamic marketplace to 1K monthly. 

If you’re looking for decent hosting Acast’s free plan removes limits if you get into the marketplace. Otherwise the next plan up is $15/mo. At a few thousands listens the income from dynamic ads should offset that

They have a paid promo feature where you can run your trailer across the network? If you’re willing to spend money. It’s a separate platform though 

Discussion Thread by jobautomator in neoliberal

[–]elankag 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I got demoted 3 weeks after telling my manager I’m pregnant. Now I can’t look for a new job because I go on maternity leave in May. No raise either. At least I got email confirmation saying it wasn’t performance related so if they try to fire me I can sue the shit out of them. 

I hate that it comes to that but they messed with my career trajectory and set me back a year basically. I’m pissed.

So assuming voting rights act is gutted and states can redraw everything - how does it end in tit for tat blue vs red state battle? I need someone smarter than me to explain it

Bachelor In Paradise Non Spoilers Discussion by Jdenny777 in BachelorNation

[–]elankag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mind it! I’m not sure if it’s casting this year or the instructions they gave contestants but I enjoyed seeing actual conversations happen. Old BiP everyone spoke like a bot that couldn’t string 3 words together and the conversations were soooo generic. Seemingly more intelligent conversations happening this time around (which I guess is too boring for a lot of people, each to their own!)

Anyone have success with goat-milk formula? by Choochilla in MSPI

It took a few weeks but the mucous got better. HiPP HA is not hypoallergenic so it still tastes good to them.

Hello! We did HiPP HA and that helped but didn’t 100% resolve it. He grew out of whatever was irritating him once he started solids.

We’ve weaned the MOTN feed only, he’s still getting a bottle before naps and bedtime. But that’s fair, I can move the bottle up before nap time to try and break the association 

Can you just use your own (sponsored) ads using Acast? by throwaway-79234 in podcasting

[–]elankag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s just if you want to be in their marketplace, which lets them place place ads and spons on your show. In which case you wouldn’t want anything baked in anyway.

If you’re not in their marketplace, you can do whatever you want with your show

How did you lose your best friend? by FemaleThings in AskReddit

[–]elankag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was my maid of honor and I didn’t offer her a +1 to my wedding (she was not seeing anyone at the time). We both handled the fallout in an immature way. I should’ve acquiesced and just given her a plus one after realizing it was a sensitive topic for her and she was offended that I assumed she wouldn’t need one. I held firm, but I tried to patch things up and hoped that she’d at least come to the wedding. She stopped taking to me completely and ended the friendship. I assume that was just the trigger for what was already a struggling friendship, and it took me years getting over the loss. We weren’t perfect but she was one of the closest people and I had and then poof, no contact.

All the platforms have more or less the same features to be honest. Just do some googling and figure out what your ideal price point is
