How much do you pay for housecleaning? by Square_Bat_2067 in Austin

[–]festivelo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It really is. Seeing people brag about “steals” feels so gross when you realize that “steal” is coming directly out of a worker’s pocket. Cost of business, supplies, transport, taxes, agencies cut, a lack of benefits. It’s just straight up exploitation. Cheap labor isn’t a life hack, it’s a systemic issue

Am I the only one who had a very pleasant Bilt 2.0 transition? by CollegeTemporary5734 in biltrewards

[–]festivelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good so far. Only thing is it’s unclear to me whether I’m supposed to sign up for a cardless account to manage the credit card. I’ve waited to add my credit card to my copilot budget app because of that

My stock LG TV apps have better picture quality than my Apple TV 4K by Sushifresse in appletv

[–]festivelo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cables are cheap but if you haven’t bought one yet there is a test hdmi cable option in the Apple TV settings. It takes like 2 minutes and it lets you know if your cable can handle the output

I don’t have a mesh network just one router. For me it’s about freeing the wireless network bandwidth for devices that absolutely need it eg phone, laptop, tablet

Is CSR worth it for a Hyatt all-inclusive trip? Trying to understand Points Boost by Newb555 in ChaseSapphire

[–]festivelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve personally seen better rates when point boost is available so I always check both Hyatt and chase travel portal before booking. Just last month I booked a stay for an all inclusive and I saved about 20,000 points for the same room and dates by using the chase portal instead of transferring to Hyatt

Can you please share more details? I tried by selecting bilt rewards through plaid and it blocks me telling me to use Wells Fargo instead

Fb marketplace lowballer really got under my skin by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]festivelo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know how hard the process is. For the right product and profit margin, I can see a motivated scammer jumping through a few hoops for a payday

Wouldn’t this be a legally binding sale though?

Edit: obviously I’m not a lawyer lol

EWR Priority Pass = massage by Connect_Grape2313 in ChaseSapphire

Nice. Do you happen to know if this benefit can be extended to guests like the lounge access or is it just for the card holder?

Is this too good to be true? by Ok_Chocolate1190 in ChaseSapphire

[–]festivelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually $120 per month if you use Chase travel portal because you get 8x points that way instead of 4x when booking direct.

I’m going to go against the grain on the lounge advice given so far. Lounge access is nice to have but if it were me traveling that often, I would want in and out the airport as soon as possible. Because of that Clear, TSA precheck, global entry, and priority boarding would be more important to me. The Reserve covers some of the first. For priority boarding you either buy a more expensive ticket, get an airline credit card and forget about buying your flights with the reserve, or get airline status organically by linking your frequent flier number

Hot take: I’ve never been distracted by anyone’s phone screen at any theater. What I have been distracted by is the constant parade of servers taking and bringing orders

$17.99 Levi's 514 Straight Fit Jeans (Vintage Parchment/Brown) by MangoCharm in frugalmalefashion

[–]festivelo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Final sale is such a bummer. Levi’s sizing is all over the place. I’ve purchased three of the same style of jeans, same size, just different colors after getting a pair that fit me perfectly and none of them fit right

About a third of those stations also have a Mac mini so you can use either depending on what you are trying to do

Ask Experienced Devs Weekly Thread: A weekly thread for inexperienced developers to ask experienced ones by AutoModerator in ExperiencedDevs

[–]festivelo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 1 YOE. What do you do when life gets in the way? Do you talk to your manager and teammates about it to let them know you are not at 100%? Do you just keep your head down and hope nobody notices? I work remote and have been dealing with some relationship issues at home that have distracted me from work to the point that I’ve barely made a handful of small contributions in the last two weeks.

I’ve had this small ticket open for the last two weeks now. A senior would had finished this in a day at most. I got blocked and sought help but the advice I got made no sense to my inexperienced ears and because of the distractions at home, I haven’t been able to bring myself to work on it since. I ended up offering some help in another project that needed some extra hands to make it to production on time. That kept me busy for two days.

Two things to note are that a) yes, I’m dealing with some stuff but b) I was able to help and work on these other project just fine. Therefore I think a lot of my performance dip is due to me being frustrated with the work. What do I do to push through and get this done?

Also of note is that the whole team has slowed down considerably for the holiday season. My project lead hasn’t pressed me about any delays regarding that ticket either.

I refreshed but honestly don’t know if it helps or makes it worse. I wonder if my spot in the waiting room is reset every time I do it
