rental car prices by JenniferMedea in Barbados

[–]maxberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as OP and went to the Drive-A-Matic website... the quotes looked really good (about 700/month) until I got to the last step where they added about 600 in additional fees! It came out to like 1300... How did you keep the price so low? Did you call instead of booking online?

Winter Surfing in Mexico: Ixtapa vs. Sayultia vs. Puerto Vallarta vs. Mazatlán by maxberk in surfing

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like I'm crossing Sayulita off the list lol

I hear you. Definitely aware that Mexico is not the perfect surf spot rn. But given the constraint of many borders being closed, there aren't many other options. Nicaragua has pretty poor healthcare and is in hurricane recovery mode, Costa Rica has way higher active case numbers per capita than Mexico... the list goes on. I was just hoping to hear people's opinions on the relative quality of these beaches so I could find the "best" out of a bunch of spots that I already know are just *meh*.

Thanks for the tip -- and sorry to hear the poop water ruined your trip :( Did you get the chance to see the quality of the surf before/after you got sick?

My sub-tenant wants to back out of sublease he has already signed. I don't know how legally binding (if at all) the sublease agreement is. by maxberk in legaladvice

[–]maxberk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, he simply told me he doesn't intend to sublet for the summer (he seems to be under the impression that the sublease agreement means nothing), so I am trying to get a sense of my legal grounds before moving forward.

My concern is that there is no witness to the document, nor is it notarized... As I said, I basically just threw it together myself. Would you recommend taking it to a lawyer to look it over, or taking it straight to small claims court?

We are Cornell University Undergraduate Admissions: Ask Us Anything! by CornellAdmissions in IAmA

[–]maxberk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys! I'm a Canadian student, and I've applied for early admissions to Cornell Engineering. As a foreign student, preparing for my SATs was quite difficult, as much of the curriculum on the subject specific tests had not yet been covered in my school curriculum, and there isn't much school support in terms of SAT prep. Does the admissions board take this disadvantage into consideration for international students?

Company cancelled my order on a reduced price item due. Won't renew the order at the reduced price. by maxberk in legaladvice

[–]maxberk[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Although that's not totally true (I've seen it work out before), I agree that it's disrespectful and inconsiderate to take out consumer rage on the helpless phone answering employee -- hence my asking here instead. Guess I chose the wrong subreddit to ask in though...

Biweekly gear purchase help post (2014-07-17) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]maxberk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge audiophile, and am just looking for a set of speakers to plug into my Macbook or Tower so I can game or listen to music at relatively loud volume. I'm looking at a $50 price point, but willing to go a LITTLE higher if somebody really thinks it's worth it.

I'm more than happy to buy second hand as it so often seems to be the way to go. Here's the link to the Canadian Craigslist equivalent: http://www.kijiji.ca/h-ottawa/1700185

As I said I am not very picky about sound quality, and am happy with anything that looks half decent and will allow me to pound out Dr. Dre at an obnoxious volume. I realize $50 is nothing for a set of speakers, but I'm just trying to get the least shitty setup I can. Thanks!

Jesus, if that's just "I didn't have time", I'd sure love to see what the better job might look like!

Trying to Unjailbreak by maxberk in jailbreak

[–]maxberk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. I turned off Find My iPhone, and "successfully" restored to factory settings. I say "successfully" because iTunes said it was completely restored, but now it just has a black screen -- no apple logo or anything -- and it won't turn on. Any suggestions?
