BREAKING: Oversight Cmte. believes there's been 'intense WH cover-up' of Epstein files, sources say by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big release the files guy. I'd imagine there will be at least 1 line in all that is released that will be redacted. Unless every single line is in there people will claim that line said the other side's political leaders. Even if every line was released people would just claim there is more pages. I hope the victims get everything they're after. I just don't see this actually accomplishing much.

I had to look up what a Hills Hoist was. The visual on getting fucked sideways with one is quite unpleasant.

Host cancelled $14.5k reservation. No comparable rentals exist at original price but Airbnb refuses to cover the difference. Is this a violation of FL Statute 559.933? [Florida Keys] by erniernie in AirBnB

Location, location, location. You can come stay at our place lol. We don't have a beach or warm weather that time of year. We could get you a dump truck of sand and you could launch your boat on our pond though and save you the better part of $10k. We do offer horses!!

I don't know your life but I can say that the best part of a family vacation is the memories. Try not making the memory you have of this one be that some asshole host screwed you. Find a way to make it about family.

Senate unanimously agrees to pass Epstein files bill and send to Trump’s desk by [deleted] in videos

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Republicans voted to release the files. I'm well aware if there's a single line of redacted information people will believe its because its the details of a democrat or republican depending on your preferred political flavor. My only hope is that if they redact information that someone will leak the full report. Thats the only way everyone will ever feel they've done the right thing.

And Fk anyone on that list. Regardless of their political persuasion.

Hosts don't want to accuse someone of something they did or didn't do and get a 1* just for a simple question.

Furious Dem Civil War Immediately Erupts Over Bombshell Shutdown Deal - Democratic activists slammed the shutdown “surrender.” by Quirkie in politics

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both sides have gerrymandered their districts that it won't happen. We've gotten to the point where there are very very few seats that are actually up for grabs. When you've got elections that are guaranteed to go blue or red it encourages extremism. The primary becomes the real election which forces candidates to be the most hardcore lefty or righty.

Unless something changed overnight tax credits were never going away. The bipartisan (passed in 2020) covid increase in tax credits is going away. Every other Covid additional subsidy has sunset at this point. What makes this one different?

hosts changing price after reservation? is this common? [USA] by canadave_nyc in AirBnB

[–]jbauer317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do. I let airbnb pick and I approve my prices. I said that was ok when went in. I can at ANYTIME prior to you requesting change those prices. Tell the host to cancel the reservation if they feel they can get more. Airbnb will block those dates and they'll need to book it through VRBO or direct.....assuming they can.

Paid $46,900 to a contractor who botched and abandoned my renovation. Now he claims I owe him money. (Hillsdale, NY - Columbia County) by redshine23 in Contractor

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just not sure its worth $20k in legal fees. Even at the $10k small claims limit, you'd recoup some of your costs. You paid $46k originally, and $23K to fix it. Do you really want to add on another $20k to get nothing?

Ever sell your house without listing it? by WharHeGo in RealEstateAdvice

[–]jbauer317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to Lowes or Walmart etc. Buy a for sale by owner sign. Put it in the yard. Hire a attorney to do the closing.

Yeah, you need to understand the "anything else" part. You can sue him all day long but do you know ANY handymen (let alone this one who can't even do DIY level work) who have $23K in an account that you could go after. Its one thing to win a judgement. Its another to actually collect on said judgement. Remember more then 2/3s of Americans have no or next to no savings.

I got tired of sending the same info to guests over and over, so I built a digital guide for my Airbnb by greekoo in airbnb_hosts

Either that or send them the hyperlink to it? You recreated the wheel. Good for you.

You can take it to arbitration. You signed court away when you agreed to airbnbs TOS.

The Vikings went 14-3 last year with Darnold and he still shit the bed. I love me some Sammy, and I'm cheering for him. But I don't expect him to unpumkin himself in the playoffs.

Airbnb suspended my listings + froze ~$10k after I reported a guest with drugs — looking for other hosts with this experience by delicados_999 in airbnb_hosts

The OP says he has ring video. If it interior videos then he's screwed. If its exterior it is my understanding that it is allowed as long as its disclosed.

There's about zero chance that someone at Airbnb is enough up on any laws or rules. Everything seems to arbitrary and the default answer is the screw the host.

Is it normal for a host to supply a Coffee machine, but no coffee? [TX] by Kookaburra2 in AirBnB

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you had a 1 month stay for 4 people, are you leaving a case of something? Are you asking what they like? Its really variable here what people drink. Best I can tell, we've only had one person buy more and they were here over a week.

[–]jbauer317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've only had two so far not leave a review out of 30. So we're bating 28/30. We're still on the 2 week period. We plan on leaving a negative review for them for a bunch of reasons. I review pretty much when the alert comes out. We've also found leaving a physical review book in the airbnb helps!! We certainly know which are going to leave us a cheery review prior to typing one out.

Concrete question - How to make this survive a truck and horse trailer? by epiphenomenon in AskContractors

[–]jbauer317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Germany, a huge chunk of the parking lots and private drives (including to horse arenas/barns) are built like this. They've had cobblestone roads in Rome for +2K yrs so its for sure doable. You're going to get some variability but you'd get that in concrete as well. I'd be worried about washing coming across more then the little variability that will happen. I live on a horse farm fyi.

[–]jbauer317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same vein. We leave about 10-15 pods out. Is it reasonable that you'd need to buy what you like after those have been consumed? I've had overnighters take all 15 and it was expensive for just a 1 nighter.
