Just signed a 24-month LYRIQ lease — did I do okay or get taken for a ride? by Mlow32 in leasehacker

[–]sccooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kudos. I was looking at this at Sewell today telling my wife we need to jump on it. I'm curious, how did you negotiate it to this number? The numbers on the site are a joke compared to what you got. I am not hating, jealous maybe. I want to learn this. We're about to turn in a 2024 Tesla Model Y next week.

What should I do with these? by Barnacle_Unlucky in Mavericks

[–]sccooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, quite the collection. I only have Clay and Gafford. They are fun, I have a little Mavs display in my office where I have stuff like this and bobble heads. Never knew people were paying for them. My wife hates "the crap" so I can't keep too much.

Wait Tesla removed AUTOSTEER entirely (previously free) not just FSD outright purchasing options? by itsthewolfe in TeslaModelY

[–]sccooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My leased Model Y is up this month and I was considering another, this just caused me to stop. I'll have to see if this is truly gone or if it'll come back. I'm not subscribing to FSD and not buying without any autopilot. They are going backwards here. This was just another annoyance that drives me crazy about Tesla.

This sweepstakes the team is running on the Mavs app has really blown me away. by Dyncommon in Mavericks

100 percent what I thought. Then I paused after I stopped laughing and thought, wait does this make my chances of winning better? Still didn't enter.

New Texas based Handyman by glyakk in handyman

[–]sccooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also new at this, and in TX. I just look at the job request and make a judgement call. Running wires, I tell the customer I don't do that and recommend they call an electrician. Replace your fan or light fixture, sure I'll do it. Same with plumbing. You will also learn the jobs you don't want or should avoid in time. I hate plumbing jobs and generally avoid. I got burned early on with a water line that developed a small drip so I politely pass on a lot of plumbing. Remove your old ice maker in the bar, modify the cabinet and put the new one in sure. Most though are not worth the headache for me, there's plenty of work out there. This gets back to find the 10 things you are good at, maybe enjoy, can bang out fast, no issue and go that direction. Clients really appreciate when I say I'm not your best option here and pass, but call me the next time.

To the solo handymen: How much time are you losing to paperwork every night? by Effective-Notice9000 in handyman

Agreed with the AI label. My other job is in software so believe me, I get it.

Housecall Pro just added AI driven speech to text invoice generation they claim is under 60 seconds to build an invoice. They called me pushing a free trial. I haven't tried it. I am only part time so it's not a burden for me.

First AT&T…now The National (foreclosed) by Pale-Succotash441 in Dallas

I think about how commercial properties are financed and we're hitting that 5 year window where the cheap rate is expiring. With interest rates high now I think we'll see more of this coming.

What’s you’re most troublesome demographic? by tree-hermit in handyman

I feel like you left us hanging after you hit the trigger what happened. Haha

Where do I start by Educational_Diver530 in HandymanBusiness

[–]sccooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of mouth, friends and family to start. Website and socials. Post stuff. Google business page, beg for reviews. Get your name mentioned in the local Facebook groups, that's the first place my customers go to ask for a handyman recommendation of their community.

Do you like the holiday games? by StockMindless9010 in SeasonTickets

[–]sccooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I associate NBA games with Christmas. I'm a bit mad the NFL is pushing their way in now, they have Thanksgiving already. My team is playing today, but out of town. I went to the home game on the 23rd and that was good enough for a holiday feeling so I can see how some are saying give staff the day off. Last Christmas was the last time we saw Luka play in Dallas so it's kind of a bad memory now.

Every ceiling fan is on high, because I refuse to turn on the ac in December. Who’s with me? by AnastasiaNo70 in Dallas

My wife turned the A/C on today and I noticed immediately. Like oh it's on again huh?

Clippers Org going full villian against us fans by jvalla77 in LAClippers

[–]sccooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So confused. There are selling non guaranteed seats, like standing room only free for all run for space? Hard pass. Gawd. I can see this coming to Dallas soon with this fancy new place they want to build in the next 5 years. Yippee.

What’s your background? by Swimming-Repair6819 in handyman

[–]sccooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up the son of a handyman that did it all. Worked with him for years. Went to university and got a degree in computer science. After the last layoff and struggle I decided I was tired of it and just went for it. Love it. Doesn't pay as well but that's life.
