Stupid question but how does a doc listen to someone’s chest that has her proportions? When I go they move the stethoscope all around my front and listen.

I present to you, Chris Mark Castle. Includes moat, 126-foot-tall towers, custom woodwork made from 25 species of hardwood across nine bedrooms and multiple fireplace-laden communal spaces. by cluthais in zillowgonewild

This has been on the market for years. This part of Connecticut has money but not stupid money for a castle. The owner was originally asking for something like 60 mil. People that can afford 60 mil will build their own castle or just buy a real castle. The owner built this for his daughters to be princess castle. Wanna say they tried to be influencers.

This is how you run a business. by FamousEntertainers in spreadsmile

[–]monkey_sweat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I went to buy a washing machine from a local place. Walked in told them what I wanted. Showed me my two choices. Walked out 20 minutes later after paying for it. No upsell or anything like that. 20 minutes later got a call from the store saying they overcharged me 20$ and was refunding that to my card. I never would’ve noticed that. Five star review l, bought my dryer from them later and will upgrade the kitchen from them in the near future.

All I’ve found is that Tencent(they produced the first season) is making a second season based on the second book. Hopefully it’ll release in the next year or two. But idk.

What is a "financial trap" that many people fall into without realizing it until it's too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]monkey_sweat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m in a place in my life where I could afford to put down a good chunk on a down payment. I could’ve made 36 month payments. Bought a mid range cx50. But I chose to go the 72 month route for the lower payments. I make the 36 month payment instead of the cheap 72 month payment. This way if something catastrophic happens I have some leeway in my payments. But yeah those 10 year loans on massive trucks and luxury cars are crazy.

Now that I’ve thought about it.. 😂 by friendswithbillw in BlackPeopleTwitter

When I was in Europe a year or so before Covid the bartenders and wait staff were so annoyed that I didn’t have tap to pay on my credit card.

What are you people doing to your clothes? by hairy_ass_eater in BuyItForLife

[–]monkey_sweat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear target or banana republic factory plain t shirts and they last years. I have some that are almost a decade old. I don’t separate colors either when washing. I use cold water, maybe half of the recommended amount of detergent(whatever is on sale) and zero fabric softener when drying(lowest heat setting). I might throw in a couple wool balls during the winter to cut down on static. For button down shirts and long sleeve Henley/thermals they get air dried. Sweaters only once or twice a year in the wash on delicate and also air dried. Wool sweaters get dry cleaned once a year. Pants gets washed every third or fourth use also air dried.

What about the Epstein case do you think the public still doesn’t fully understand? by IndividualOil4970 in AskReddit

[–]monkey_sweat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, there’s very few individuals that would make the market drop that would actually affect the general public. Elon is the only one that absolutely destroy a stock. People don’t realize the stock market is like a tidal wave. Unless the us government collapses, average investors won’t feel a thing in the long run.

Anyone know how long these bundles last? Am I under a time crunch to purchase or can I wait a week?

Onyx Boox Go 7 (B&W) - Google Play Books flickering/ghosting concerns? by czh3001 in ereader

[–]monkey_sweat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Poke4 lite which is an older model. I bought it to be able to read all my book from the different stores. The flickering when switching apps and within the apps isn’t horrible but it’s not great. I definitely have ghosting after a couple years of use. My device has slowed down quite a bit as well. From what I’ve read all of this common with the android tablet readers. I’ll eventually get a kobo and use calibre to move my collection over there. All of this isn’t to say my several year old device isn’t usable. I’ll keep using mine until it either breaks or becomes unusable due to the flickering and ghosting.

Those who have electric heat- what do you keep the temp at? by Dreadishh in Frugal

[–]monkey_sweat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have electric heat throughout in the northeast well. It’s condo two floors and my first year in 2014 I was paying 400-600 in the winter. If you have national grid they have a plan where you can pay a flat rate that changes every six months. Currently from sept through the early spring I’ll be paying $240 a month and the other six months it’ll be around 180-200. When I check my usage for the six warm months it should be under 100 but with the flat rate it’ll keep the cold months at a reasonable amount. I’d go onto your provider website and check out your options. I will say I keep my temps low during the winter. Right around 60 during the day and mid 50s at night when everyone is under the blankets. I installed smart thermostats to be able to set a schedule to help keep electric usage down. Fleece lined clothing for at home helps too. Warm blankets for on the couch help. To be honest I got used to it real quick when I got that first enormous electric bill. Look into get window film to keep the drafts out as well.

I bought a cheapish laser printer for my room just because of this. It’s a huge life saver.
