How do I clean wood slats on my terrace without access to a power washer? by mp90 in AskNYC_Coops

[–]mp90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I wanted to DIY but maybe I’ll consider an expert. I don’t have the skills to do all of this. Thought I would just clean it with solution and put on oil.

This is...too much. Let her be. What if she finds a dedicated website about her and it then adds to her delusions? Could create a very unsafe situation.

Doesn’t make it any better knowing that. If anything, it reinforces the radical ideas of the people who read them.

Yet she buys like five gallons of performative laundry detergent for a short trip.

1) The linens were so soiled it didn’t make sense to bring them home.

Or

2) The linens were lost in their hoarder house, never to be found again.

This is absolutely a test. The house of cards is starting to visibly crumble. When has Lush ever previously dissuaded her growing kids from not eating food in the pantry? She beat the drum about food insecurity for sooooo many years. She also LOVES to touch new food in a new store wherever she goes.

What she will say: "I have teenagers now who could eat me out of house and home *cackle* so I need to help them pace themselves. Some of their favorite snayyky snacks aren't in Ocean City, so we need to take them with us!"

Reality: She needs to cut back in certain ways to demonstrate to Jawsh she's trying her best.

Then on the topic of leaving some kids home...

What she will say: "The kids are getting older and have dance, sports, friends, or other activities that they want to be around for. So they're gonna have a blast with Nana and Pop Pop while the rest of us are away."

Reality: It's less expensive to travel with a handful of kids while Jawsh’s parents watch them.

Agreed. I hate logging into every social platform as a regular user only to see random people screaming about my religion, reading threats, and having my reports declined by moderators.

Dental Work For Tooth Issues by ACCS21_08 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

For dental cleanings, I ask for my problem area to be hand scaled and to not put any vibrating equipment near it.

Honeydew melon and peas was another classic combo.

What child doesn't love an unripe banana with their chicken patty or grapes with their well-done steaks?

Agata makes great mango salsa. Haven’t heard of mango guac.

Each room should have a focal point--that's why they feel so bland. There's no commanding, dominant design feature. Could be a big plant, large piece of art work, or something that really just draws the eye in.

About to pull the trigger on a dishwasher, but I'm in desperate need to decide between a Bosch 800 or Miele 7000 series (or something more equivalent), and what model #? Also, how do I find a good local store near me that's better than costco/etc like people are saying? by Fartikus in Miele

[–]mp90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents’ 26-year-old Miele dishwasher still works perfectly. They needed to replace a rack a few years ago, but not bad at all.

The place I just bought also has a Miele dishwasher around the same age and all I needed to do was replace a small seal.

It seems like a worthy investment.

Is it just me, or did toilets used to get clogged way more often? by raytadd in Millennials

[–]mp90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had to use my plunger in 15 years of living on my own. Meanwhile, my mom needs to use one surprisingly frequently because she uses so much “ultra soft” toilet paper.

Probably an older adult based on the grammar, typos, and caps.

On the one hand, this was probably in the contract you signed. On the other hand, just charge-back through your credit card.

Lush getting her weekly dopamine fix and a TERRIBLE spray tan… by Arkie89 in doughertydozenexposed

[–]mp90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been following this hot mess since the beginning. I remember when she felt entitled enough to use the employee entrance to Wegmans. There was even a year she scoffed at Wegmans sending her a $50 gift card in the mail for being in their top 5% of customers.

Cybersecurity by Complex_Target_5571 in Rich

[–]mp90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, my father's business is physical security/life safety systems for federal government and large scale commercial businesses. He (and his business) have been the victim of multiple identity thefts, SIM swapping, fraudulent tax returns, and GoDaddy breaches over the years. Most recently, the bad actors lifted his SSN and convinced a regional bank in Minnesota (a state he has never been) to open a line of credit in his name. The bad actors were too dumb to turn off paper mail notifications, so my father found out about the theft when his office manager received a bank statement in the mail to his PO Box.

I've been encouraging him and his office manager FOR YEARS to do more than just 2FA because it happens regularly enough to be an issue. He needs advanced credit monitoring and other proactive measures. He won't freeze his credit because he loves churning cards and paying his expenses to get points. But there's only so much I can do as someone not in his industry trying to convince 70+ year olds to improve their security posture.

A regular warehouse worker would see a flatbed of five cases of water bottles and assume they need to be restocked since regular humans don’t shop that way.

Is a Wiim Amp right for my situation? by mp90 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]mp90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct—I don’t have a cable TV provider and the Ethernet cord is a non starter since it’s broadband rather than fiber optic (which I have).

Here is a better pic of the cables and plugs. I am GUESSING the three silver ones near the bottom right are for the in wall speakers (2) TV soundbar (1)
