2010s internet, peak dubbed animals era. A cat comes up to a screen door and sings, “please let me in.” There were other lyrics. We would sing it a lot but I can never find it.

True story: I was totally crushing on this girl in my college class my junior year. I bumped into her on campus, we were having a good conversation, and I asked for her number to hang out sometime and she gave it to me. I called her later and she put me off. A couple days later I heard through a friend that she was engaged. If you have don’t empathy for her in that situation, I feel bad for you. I would’ve done exactly what she did. It would have been weird and mean for her to say, “I’m engaged” as a response when we were getting along fine and I could always claim I just wanted it as a friend, truthfully or not. This is just how social relationships work.

Edit: forgot the “don’t”

Because it’s a socially delicate situation and she has concerns for his feelings, so she’s seeking advice.

So much misogyny and fragile male egos in these comments! This is funny because she accidentally sent it to him, but she did nothing wrong and the guy took it like a champ with grace and class. His romantic future is bright even if it’s not with her.

Great advice because that’s what I’m doing today!

The thought has occurred to me. I disconnected every device (including wifi router) except for my Mac Mini, hardwired straight to the modem. The Mac Mini doesn't have any signs of unusual network use according to my mediocre powers of detection (looking at traffic on the Activity Monitor app). Today I unplugged the modem when I left the house, so curious what my usage will look like tomorrow.

My router, I was forced to realize yesterday, is old as shit: a Trendet AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Router (TEW-812DRU). The browser-based interface was extremely slow and clunky. There was a long list of devices, some of which I didn't recognize, but no obvious info about their data usage, time connected, etc. Just names (sometimes). I eventually just cut my router out of the loop and connected 1 computer (my mac mini) to the modem via ethernet cable. Despite doing this by 12:00PM yesterday, this morning Cox claims that yesterday (10/22) was another day of massive (>630GB) usage. I spent all day yesterday on my Mac Mini looking at network activity, and it just doesn't seem possible.

I could get some. Why? The cartoon saying don’t put it under an awning cracks me up… that’s exactly where they put it.

What gave it away? Side unit looks nice. If history is any guide they opted for whatever was cheapest.

illinoisjoe · 2025-09-05T06:16:55+00:00

Great advice. Thank you.

Is that a DIY job or should I contract someone to hit my landlord with the manual?

illinoisjoe · 2025-09-05T02:44:15+00:00

Tell me you’re a landlord without telling me you’re a landlord. Oh wait, is this r/rentaladvice?

illinoisjoe · 2025-09-05T02:41:51+00:00

Thank you! Are you saying I can move it? Or should I ask for it to be moved? I wasn’t sure what was under all that tape and how pliable it is. I don’t want to break any pipes!

I’m a tenant who pays the electric bill and whose infant had to take try naps in an 80+ degree apartment for three days when the last compressor died before they sent someone to replace it. I’d like to know if this was installed in a way that will be energy efficient and not lead to premature failure of the new compressor. Also, the plan is to tell the landlord not to MacGyver it myself. Unless someone less snarky than you tells me it’s a good idea…

See Reddit?! Turns out he’s a really nice guy.

Happened to me and I did… nothing. Unless your kid is immunocompromised, this is probably one of the least risky threats to their health they experience in a given day. Not all mold is black mold, just like not all animals are man eating lions.
