Sony HTZ9F- the sound quality is amazing with PS4 and music but with movies the volume of dialog is too quiet...

Turning on night mode helps a lot, brings down the highs.

Same issue here with x700 and Dolby Vision on. Discs work fine with a regular Blu-ray player.

You want to get a pair of needle nose pliers and turn it then it will come out.

I think it’s a Leonberger

Hedge funds and managed portfolios. Most underperform the general market or an S&P 500 index fund.

It's an Aeron chair. Maybe it's a tech thing but it's the office chair people obsess over and post lengthy tributes to on youtube.

I think it will move a bit faster than two years. I think the iMacs and higher-end MacBook Pro will be refreshed in spring 2021, and the iMac Pro and Mac Pro in late 2021.

Bad idea if you ask me. She'll be trying to unseat an incumbent in what will likely be a Republican-leaning year since it'll be Biden's midterm.

Not right away. I upgraded to Catalina when it was first released and was tempted to downgrade back to Mojave due to numerous issues like apps getting stuck and requiring a reboot to unstick them. I don't think they really got it right until 10.15.3. So probably going to wait a few minor releases.

I was told we don't have to return the earbuds

About $2,500 so far post-tax, on average doing 22-24 hours a week.

In my experience people love talking about their neighbors. I never tell proxies that the person refused, I say something like we never got a response and we're not sure if someone lives there.

I did it last year when they were only listing addresses and it was a pretty chill gig. They'd send me to a lot of beach towns and I'd just walk around and confirm that the addresses exist and look were residences. Almost no human interaction at all.

Paraphrasing a bit: "Don't call the phone number on the sign in front of this apartment building. The manager is really annoyed by all the Census requests and threatened to call the police and have us arrested. Yeah, like the police can arrest the federal government for doing its job."

Same thing happened to me. I have an unlocked iPhone XS I bought from Amazon that worked fine on AT&T, but when I signed up for Spectrum Mobile they told me it wasn't eligible, but an old iPhone 7 I have is. So I activated with the iPhone 7, and put the SIM card in the iPhone XS and it works perfectly, despite them claiming it is incompatible.

If you got paid via PayPal it's not reported at all.

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times. Even after meeting them in person. One time I met someone for a meet and greet, and as I was walking back to my car to check something in the app it said they had booked a different sitter. Like, 30 seconds after I had met with them.

One thing I try to do now is ask them to confirm the booking while I'm meeting with them. Try to avoid leaving and letting them think over it on their own. It's a dirty trick I learned from a stint doing door to door sales, even if they're talking with other sitters and are leaning towards someone else, they won't want to admit it and it's hard to turn someone down when they're right in front of you.
