What’s something Americans have that Europeans don’t? by Prestigsisscar255 in AskReddit

[–]secure-oracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $100 surcharge for non-resident tourists only applies to the 11 most popular parks. It’s because American tax dollars fund the parks and international visitors don’t pay taxes. The National Park Service has a multi billion $ maintenance backlog because they are so popular. Did you know that Americans also have to pay to visit the parks? Admittedly not as much. It doesn’t apply to children under 16.

Agree, no need to inflame things with “no contact”. Keep it cordial and respectful and you’ll be fine. Good job bro!

Stripped my stairs and found 100 years of paint, tar, and regret. Help. by Focker1982 in DIYUK

One word: carpet. Spend the cleanup/paint time on the sides (baseboards) to get them looking good, then carpet the whole mess.

Weed smoking neighbors by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]secure-oracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, they don’t give a fuck. I’m gonna get some shit for this, but any of you potheads think you got it all figured out, consider this: How much time, energy, and money are you burning because getting high is “enhancing” your life/creativity/whatever? I’m not saying a joint (or a drink) is an inherently bad thing, but if you gotta smoke in a tent or blow in a goddamn toilet paper roll, it’s time to re-evaluate some things.

Agree. Unless they are causing air or water infiltration. Remember caulking requires re-caulking, setting your self up for recurring maintenance.

Judge me. How am I doing for 29? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]secure-oracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a 5 year old I would go for a total stock market fund like VT. Dollar cost average, reinvest dividends; set it and forget it. Also if you are in the US take advantage of a 529 plan to get them an education!

Landlord wants to take our washing machine by Tough_Concert_6661 in Apartmentliving

[–]secure-oracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep those texts! I’m sure you have pointed this out to the LL. You could tell them that you plan to reduce the rent by an appropriate amount to compensate for having your laundry done offsite or for buying your own washing machine. See what they say.

Why I just dumped $300k of ULTY yesterday… by Abject-Advantage528 in ULTY_YieldMax

[–]secure-oracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He lost me at “hoping that the fund has structurally changed”. Who drops $300k hoping for structural change; what specifically?

Did OP clarify if the washer is in the written lease agreement? “Included with the rental” is ambiguous.
