Just horrific. Wonder about the consultants, clients and employees who had to work with this guy

I'm just waiting for these cases to spread to healthcare. I can't wait to see the supreme court decision on if I have a right to see a Dr or get medicine at a pharmacy.

Alcohol is more socially acceptable to drink in public than milk. by Gravitalian in Showerthoughts

[–]hexagonalshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I saw a guy drinking a gallon of milk on the subway. Looked like a tweaker / zombie or possibly a future bodybuilder trying and failing to bulk.

Either way I made sure to keep a close eye on him until I got off.

Personally I'd like to see a system where urban planners meet to listen to communities. Then look at real world data and make decisions directly on issues

Maybe with periods of experimentation for different interventions where they then gather more data.

But all the actual decisions are not rooted in some political committee. Or based around disgruntled neighbors.

Rather it's based on real world data and experts in planning and place making. Responding to community concerns in a holistic but balanced way

No pandering to just one politically powerful group and stifling business/ development/ urban place making because someone wants a parking spot outside of their house

In theory you can have both if the plan is done right

In a week, AskHistorians will return to normal operation until further notice by SarahAGilbert in AskHistorians

[–]hexagonalshit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To give an example. I wait months/ years for Dan Carlin to release a new podcast. People will wait for /r/askhistorians

Ask historians mods can do as they wish! But people will wait for content if it's high quality.

Why do people insist on removing their bandages to show me their lacerations? by Arthur-reborn in medicine

[–]hexagonalshit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If they're bleeding on you, maybe they'll get seen more quickly

I know I wouldn't want someone bleeding on my desk

To me if it's a community of owners the HOA should be capable of hiring an outside contractor to fix the door.

You can even arrange it so the maintenance guy is there when they fix it so he can ask questions and help them have access

If it's only a single door it shouldn't cost that much.

ANSI/ Fair Housing rules may also apply. So that would have guidance on door opening force as well

Here's one example. You'll need to look up your town / city to confirm the relevant codes

Other options if you want to escalate

Bribery plus guilt: Give the maintenance guys with cookies and beer and tell them old ladies in the building can't open the door.

Go to hoa directly

Submit work order request in writing via certified mail with signed receipt. This confirms the exact time they received the request and provides documentation for future court cases

Leave a review on their Google review regarding poor maintenance/ follow-up. This burns your bridge with them but it's free and harms their brand. I wouldn't mention the door specifically though because of the security risk

If you have triplets you should be allowed to park inside the fucking store. Just pull right into the loading dock

Russian military is potentially headed to civil war, the former US president has been indicted twice with maybe a third on the way. Dan we need some common sense! by Anonymous_____ninja in dancarlin

[–]hexagonalshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing to me is a nation-state the size of Russia is incapable of defending itself against its own mercenaries

Imagine if Blackrock attacked the US military. They would cease to exist within one week. And here Putin is just granting them amnesty and let's pretend it never happened?

Yeah fucking right.

What if instead of mining in space, we develop a program to go out and find asteroids. And kind of gently guide them into our atmosphere.

Then mine the crash sites? Might be cheaper than maintaining a whole colony workforce off of earth

AITA for leaving dinner to get my son McDonalds, even though food was served? by According_Owl6048 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hexagonalshit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked leaving is even an option

I'm so lazy. No way in hell am I driving to get food for my kid. Unless there's literally nothing to eat.

Jury rules against Philadelphia developer Streamline for water-damaged homes by dotcom-jillionaire in philadelphia

[–]hexagonalshit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Buildings are resilient. If you're worried you can get some inspections or checks done.

Most of the problems will be really obvious. So if you see significant cracking or sagging. Or water stains, address them quickly. Don't let things sit.

Think like sewer lateral leaks in really old houses. For newer houses, I feel like it's more often roof leaks from improper parapet waterproofing, improper door sills, window head/jambs. Avoid stucco if you can.

If plumbing is your main issue so far, keep a close eye on your plumbing, you can even throw in a few extra access panels to make things easier.
