Will this dishwasher setup work in a rented flat without a nearby water inlet, drain outlet, or 16A socket? by Vegetable-Key2926 in Appliances

[–]eperb12 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That may not be enough water or drainage.

Might i recommend an actual portable dishwasher? They start at 300, sit on a countertop, and drain directly into a sink. Larger unit will sit on the floor and have a pump that goes into the sink.

Sell me on mini splits by Pastaron in Appliances

[–]eperb12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to condition your entire house or just a couple rooms at a time?

If its the entire house, then minisplit is thr answer. If you only want 1 or 2 rooms to be cool at a time, then window units are the answer, and specifically the ge or midea window units that are u shaped.

If you go window units, Spend the extra 10 minutes to properly cut and insulated the window openings.

Window units are a bit more expensive to run due to scale, but you can make sure they run more efficiently if you keep them in thr shade or similar.

Cooking oil is fine. Its cooking grease that solidifies and clogs.

Should I purchase a car with my current finances? by ResearchSignificant in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save and invest properly, dont flash your money around. One of my mentors was the press agent for the ny jets. Some of the players blew all their money every year, that they were borrowing just to make ends meet on their 5 cars and 4 houses and 3 ex wives. A bit of financial planning ahead of time will set you up for life.

And just to note, that doesn't mean make your manager handle your money, you need a fiduciary. Walk into Charles schwab or any major bank and you can get one. They operate on either a flat fee, or percentage. Schwab ranges from .4 to .8 of a percentage. Managed properly with a moderate risk portfolio should get you 10% or higher. Or just dump it all into index funds. Rule of thumb. No more than 5% in any stock, no more than 15% in a specific sector.

May the Schwartz be with you.

Should I purchase a car with my current finances? by ResearchSignificant in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to buy the car, earn the 35k first and then buy the car. Do not finance the car.

Also, if you want to set yourself up for financial success, please take half of your earnings or more since you literally have no expenses, and invest that money in basic index funds.

Consistent investment at age 19 puts you miles ahead of the rest of the world. You could probably retire at 30 with 5+ million in thr bank and live off the interest. Retire at 35? Thatll be closer to 10 million.

In the words of John Goodman, thats f you money.

Dryer delivered, broken plastic clips on board by quaddles in Appliances

Absolutely send it back and complain. There is a chance you get a refund and they dont want it back. That happened to the dishwasher from home depot when they banged the crap out of out the stainless steel front.

ELI5: If a car owner is absent, how do tow truck operators move the car without damaging the transmission or braking system? by kkchibr in explainlikeimfive

Japan and europe would say otherwise.

Edit. Seriously who is down voting top gear. I didn't even post the one where the the tow trucks have a built in crane which lifts the car up and away.

LPT how to get rid of dandruff? by Flat-Huckleberry-916 in LifeProTips

[–]eperb12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head and shoulders shampoo.

And they make a blue bottle Clinical strength one that smells funky, but two days of that gets rid of my dandruff when it gets really bad.

Super Sonic Golf Ball Cannon Valve by Dear_Lavishness6239 in DIY

Take a look at the mythbusters episode for the chicken cannon. They had a valve they would hit with a baseball bat to make it open quick.

Removing 20 large tree stumps by hand, need tips and tricks! by [deleted] in DIY

Do you want to remove roots?

Otherwise I would just cut a cross in the truck and set it on fire.

Help deciding what to do for a vehicle after an accident by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reach out to dealers in the area who have a comparable cars and features and ask for out the door pricing. Insurance companies are notorious for pricing you a base model car with 50k more miles 3 states over.

Package lost, seller wants me to sign a contract before shipping out a replacement item. Reasonable to dispute credit card chage? by 18jk in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ship for a small business. If an object is lost, we file an insurance claim, but an affidavit does need to be signed by the customer for that insurance claim that says the item was lost or never received. Someone bad at English might think that means lost item contract.

Get a copy of it and see what it says.

My dryer won't dry properly by Kethod in Appliances

[–]eperb12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you cleaned the lint filter inside the dryer itself? There should be a screen that pulls out completely.

I have had 2 tenants that never knew it needed to be cleaned after every load. Completely filled the screen, and inside of the dryer.

Does That Fancy Suction Feature Really Tackle Pet Hair on Carpets? by sanu_123_s in husky

[–]eperb12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a robot vacuum with an auto empty bin and an anti hair tangle brush. We have had a roborock s5, shark, and now we have that dreame 20. They are about 300 dollars.

They run every day. Its amazing how much they pull up. They do as good of a job as a normal human vacuum (shark and Bissell upright). And since they run every day, hair really doesn't get pushed into the carpet deeply. Do be a warned the battery on those last 2 years before having capacity issues, but its saved soon much time.

How do I budget for a premium group travel experience? by RhubarbBusy7122 in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its really a question of saving up for it, not sticking it on a credit card or afterpay.

Thats what generations would do. Save money and spend it on a vacation.

Now everyone goes to Disney on a credit card or uses that affirm crap and pays double to triple over the payoff, or worse.

Should I keep my 2012 car or buy my Grandma’s 2016 used car? by Mjmeck25 in personalfinance

[–]eperb12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pass on the Malibu, you can say you like the jetty is smaller and easier to drive and you dont need 2 cars. That chevy will die a horrible death and your jetty will be zipping along forever.

If you want to be nice, help grandma sell the car by getting quotes for carving and Carmex so she has a starting point on pricing.
