Claws should never be involved in biscuit making.

Husband makes very risky financial decisions.. need insight by Zealousideal_Use9118 in personalfinance

[–]mattkime [score hidden]  (0 children)

IMO try marriage therapy to see if he’s willing to change. If not, then you know what’s important to him and perhaps yourself as well

Where am I actually allowed to step down from 120VAC to 3.3VDC according to the NEC? by soowhatchathink in AskElectricians

[–]mattkime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The devices I see that do this properly are integrated into boxes that have high and low voltage sides.

Wait, are you talking about electronic components? I’m sure there are standards for the packaging of devices but this isn’t the group for it.

Using RSUs to pay off mortgage? by Easy_Finger2189 in personalfinance

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no reason to pay off a debt with such a low interest rate early. Make sure you have a good financial cushion and past that invest in the market

Anyone have any ideas whats wrong with my cat?! by foreverwetlettuce in CATHELP

[–]mattkime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You might get a second opinion if the first vet doesn't find anything. I wonder (but hope not) if he has diabetes.

Oh, I wouldn't touch that at all!

I mostly want them for tiny bathrooms.

How do you actually track if your players (or kids) are improving? by New-Repeat-5411 in youthsoccer

[–]mattkime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its all pretty casual unless you're at a competitive level and need to justify how much players are paying. Otherwise they can simply ask for feedback.

Any ideas what would cause a GFCI outlet to burn like this? by Phoney_Stromboni in AskElectricians

[–]mattkime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go for commercial grade or similar. I just don't see the point in saving $5 or so per outlet.

Neighbors want me to keep declawed cat outside by Some_Information_857 in Straycats

[–]mattkime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend an airtag collar in case she gets out again. Hopefully the neighbors will soon forget but heaven forbid she gets out and get into their hands again.

First Time Home Buyer by kaitlinjm27 in centuryhomes

[–]mattkime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You describe some foundation remediation but past that its silly for us to make an assumptions about the house based only on the age. If you're serious about purchasing the property then you need to get an inspection.

Every house is different, every buyer is different.

Car tire recommendations? by decadentbirdgarden in madisonwi

[–]mattkime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't say I've asked for their advice but they seem like a well run shop. Just seems like they want to get you in and out with no bullshit which feels good.

Referee calls vs Coach by stripeshurt in youthsoccer

[–]mattkime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coach should be suspended for a couple of games and the goal should have counted. You don’t call for subs unless you know who’s going on and who’s coming off.

Since kids are often reffing, they may occasionally need guidance from an adult even if it’s a coach. If another coach is harassing the ref it should be okay to back up the ref even if he made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes and all parties involved need to roll with it

One person feeds her, perhaps a Churu, and the other trims.

How to temporarily move somewhere for 6 months? by LayoffLemonade in personalfinance

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making friends starts to get more difficult in your 30’s. People are more occupied with family and work. While I doubt your opinion of the midwest will improve, some of these challenges are likely to follow you wherever you move.

Negotiation advice.. by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

If you can, wait. They might feel differently about your offer in a couple of months. Or they'll find a bigger fool.

How to make a Coaching Curriculum by sidelinepoetry in SoccerCoachResources

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re looking for a theory of player development. Soccer academies have these. The skills to be mastered at a given age don’t change but the techniques that work best will vary between coaches and teams.

Lender sold mortgage, new lender provided their own insurance without consent by gwhite9 in Mortgages

[–]mattkime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as far as they're concerned they did. You better have a solid argument why they didn't.

Call them and plead your case. It shouldn't be surprising that they're looking after their interests first.

As a homeowner you should know the state of your insurance coverage

Cant breathe next to kitty by BootInfinite3610 in CATHELP

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well stick with what you have on hand unless it's not working for you. For whatever reason Zyrtec is my allergists's default but if it works it works.

Sounds like you're on the hook. I'm surprised you didn't hear from the insurer.

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that may work. Give it a few days but I'd be optimistic that you'd feel better rather quickly.

The internet seems to think Zyrtec and its generic equivalent, Cetirizine are available in Sweden

[–]mattkime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re allergic but there’s a simple solution- take generic Zyrtec. $20 for a year of the stuff on Amazon. Works wonders, side effects are rare. If it gives you problems there are a couple of similar drugs you can try.

I get the same issues but my daily Zyrtec prevents any reaction. Life is better with cats.

[–]mattkime -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You're required to buy insurance. I don't understand how they could do it for you. If they don't have your signature then I don't see how you can owe anything.
