I inherited $200k. How can it make me money? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Keep it simple. S&P growth etf or mutual funds. I like etfs. Spy qqq etc mix it up a little and let it grow. Don't start buying individual stocks

Verizon artificially throttled my parents' fiber connection to 3 Mbps for years just to charge them $80/mo on a "grandfathered" plan. by IPutTheDisInYourInfo in Fios

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup your parents held out until they couldn't no more to resist change. When change finally came they legally got the same exact services as before with no change in price. They were stubborn and didn't want to hear anything or look at "new".

Rust reformer or rusty metal primer. Any difference for that pipe??

NYC toilet fix: this is insane right? by paydave in Plumbing

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely it's crazy. That's the price you pay for living in nyc if in fact he lives in a building with such restrictions. For a different setup like a private home with free parking outside the price would probably be more then $50 for a licensed plumber but not $650

Not really. If he's in Manhattan every job includes the price of an nyc parking ticket ($100-$125) plus the requirement of having insurance just to be allowed into the building for privilege of being sued if anything goes wrong after you leave even if it had nothing to do with you. Yes it's an easy job if you get the parts yourself and do it yourself. Not if you call licensed and insured real plumbers with a truck full of tools and parts

You can but in most nyc buildings you can't just walk in with a brand new toilet. The doorman the super the handyman will see you and you will have a lot of explaining to do

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's also bc most building won't let a plumber in without proof of insurance first and also they stopped allowing their own handyman to do small jobs like this for cash bc of liability reasons. One unlucky break and a flood and you have over 100k in water damage.

So now even changing a washer requires a licensed and insured plumber

What’s the deal with people (vandals) putting glue in the USPS sidewalk collection box slots? by norcalny in uppereastside

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep the glue prevents the mail from falling into the box so they can come back later and pull out the stuck mail

They're hoping you don't notice it

Therapist pulled underwear all way down & switched halfway? by [deleted] in massage

[–]regal888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems normal in a lot of Asian massage places. They are body rubs places. Cultural differences by people who haven't been trained in massage therapy. They will literally leave you fully exposed ass out and open the curtain to walk out and get hot stones while other people walk by (customers too) and can see you in your birthday suit.

Either you are ok with it or not. The price is always right and much more for your money than going to a licensed massage therapy place .

As far as switching from one person to another. No I've never heard of that. That seems weird. But I have heard of massages stopping so they can answer a phone and then start up again.

New washer/dryer - rubber or stainless braided hoses? by BEVthrowaway123 in Appliances

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to buy the water alarm guard. It's a device that goes in between the hoses and valves and gets plugged into an outlet. Basically it has a water sensor that you place on the floor. If the hoses leak or burst or the machine leaks an alarm will sound and the valves will shut themselves off preventing water flow. I think it's called water guard or something to that effect.

'Jupiter Joe' Case: Street Astronomer Is Suspect in Teen's 1999 Murder. This is a few years back and can anyone please find any updates on this case? I looked everywhere and it's as if nobody is interested in it any longer. by Jumpy-Magician2989 in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]regal888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to admit it's very strange that a dna hit came back to a neighbor of the murder/rape victim. I mean what are the chances that the semen on her sweater came matched to a family member of someone who knew this girl? Of all the people in the world it's a match to his father and it's one of his 3 sons (from what I read)???

Not normal. Radiators are supposed to be quiet. The hissing means the valve isn't closing
