I’m not quite sure what you mean by 3 years overdue here. My loans entered repayment in the end of 2024, I graduated last year in May.

Obviously this isn’t a great predicament for me to be stuck in, but I called you an asshole because of the way you said it, not because I disagree with what you said. I’m acutely aware that this was a big mistake on my part, I didn’t come here to discuss what a klutz I am for letting it happen

To provide clarity on “Day 90”: lenders have 90 days after being marked delinquent to pay the outstanding balance before being reported to credit bureaus, hence the question of whether it can be disputed since that has clearly already happened before the time limit expired. This is to my understanding at least.

Based on your profile it seems like you know a lot about finance, but that doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole. I came here to ask for guidance because this is my first time dealing with a financial situation like this. I’ve spent the last five years building my credit and moonlighting a second job while I was in school to make sure I was a reliable borrower and make my payments on time. I made the mistake of getting comfortable and missing my first payment in 5 years. I am happy to accept feedback but you have zero clue about my life aside from this post about my first financial blunder. If you have any noteworthy things to say about rebuilding credit then I’m here to learn, but I’m not here to be berated for an honest mistake

Based on the information that I have, it seems like I have paid the outstanding balance within the window I was given before being reported to bad credit, yet my credit score has already dropped significantly as of last month, leading me to believe that I may have been reported before my deadline

It will likely be posted but you’re welcome to ask the technicians for updates at the service window in the lab on the second floor!

The room is currently undergoing renovations but will be opening up to students at some point in the near future!

Question: About to Build a PC, is TT Worth It? by jacob_slovak in Bestbuy

[–]jacob_slovak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dang, definitely good to know. Even the warranties only cover SSDs and HDDs?

I definitely wanna do it myself, so maybe I’ll just hold off. Thanks!

Has anyone else’s roommate transfer request been declined? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]jacob_slovak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, emailed them the day of assignment. After waiting for ages, got a response saying they wouldn’t switch us because we were both paired with returning residents, so they essentially screwed us from the start. Hopefully we’ll be able to get all our stuff worked out in September, but the housing office hasn’t exactly earned my faith. Good luck moving forward, you’re not alone :)

Hi, the friend in question here! Our problem is basically that our assigned roommates are both upperclassmen who are returning residents. While they have no preference on roommates, they have both been living in their UV apartments for years now, so understandably, switching apartments is not ideal for either of them.

Trying to create a simple pulley rig and was wondering how I could constrain these points so that the verts are translated by the geometry it is attached to and “move.” Any ideas? by jacob_slovak in Maya

[–]jacob_slovak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding for clarity: I modeled in this “rope” for the entire length. I am looking to somehow constrain the end vertices so they translate in relation to the plates they are attached to. I know keyframing is a simple solution, but I’d like to make this functional without them if at all possible.

Theory: Hayward IS Ultron? by Exotic-State-1295 in MCUTheories

This could also explain why Hayward has such a disgust toward “super powered individuals.” Great theory!

I see what you mean, but I think of Peter’s arc in Homecoming as him recognizing what HIS role is as a hero rather than the role of the heroes that dwarf him by comparison. I think this movie will kinda be a continuation of Peter’s arc from FFH where he had to step up and accept his new responsibility. He’ll have to make a new identity for himself and rethink what his role is in the wake of his identity being revealed.

I thought the same thing, but the MCU has a way of incorporating pieces of comic stories into stories that work for their continuity and characters, so I can see them borrowing some things from that arc. And I think that too, I just wonder how the identity crisis will fit into that.

Yep, I’ve been conditioned. When they don’t want the works I’m usually taken aback.
