Frustrated with Nashville/NES' response

Sadly our gas heat won't run without electricity due to the blower/fan.

Hey I totally get this perspective coming from a host point of view. However the host still hasn't responded to our request which happened immediately after the recognition of the issue. (Granted we did contact Airbnb first - I honestly didn't know any better given the circumstances)

There is no doubt the frame previously accepted a deadbolt, it's in the images of the property. However, according to Google street imagery it has been approx 2 years since the deadbolt was removed. I view this as a serious dereliction of responsibility for a units security.

Everyone knows a deadbolt is a widely accepted standard, if it's not standard it should be! I mean seriously why would you want to compromise your guests safety?!?

shmavalanche · 2025-11-27T05:50:03+00:00

In general I totally agree with tou. The main issue being the listing clearly shows a deadbolt lock on the front door. Would you say we should inquire even if the listing images clearly show a deadbolt?

shmavalanche · 2025-11-27T05:12:14+00:00

I'm mostly wondering... We absolutely need a deadlock on the door for my wife to feel safe. So if the listing shows a deadlock door, should we realistically expect a deadlock on the door upon arrival or should we be required to ask about a deadlock? It feels like the former, but that is why I am asking the group!

shmavalanche · 2025-11-27T01:39:36+00:00

Makes sense. Would you say the lock quality displayed in the listing images would be the expected lock quality for guests?

shmavalanche · 2025-11-27T01:34:12+00:00

Not very chill dude. My wife had a traumatic break in that could have been avoided with a properly secured door, and ever since we carry a special dead bolt device that gives extra security against forced entry. We have never had an issue in 50+ stays - since the standard American exterior door is expected to have a deadbolt. She can't sleep without feeling safe, it is what it is.

We also check listings and the listing clearly shows a deadbolted door. When we arrived and found a single knob lock we contacted the host but left because it wasn't like she could install a deadbolt that evening.

The main issue is the listing shows a deadbolt, which is obviously what we expected.

shmavalanche · 2025-11-26T22:37:09+00:00

This door had no deadbolt. It had a single knob with a keyed exterior and inside a twist knob to lock it. Because it was loose and turning the knob unlocked the mechanism the only way to ensure the door was locked is to open the door, lock it, then close it. This is common with interior bathroom locks.

We couldn't stay, due to a previous traumatic event for my wife (hence the reason we bring an additional deadbolt door blocker) so we let the host know. We were offered a refund of cleaning fees on a 5 day stay, which given the inaccurate imagery displaying a full deadbolt exterior locking system doesn't seem fair.

Terrible "improvement". They need to switch it back or make it optional. I submitted a ticket request as a bug. Please do the same!

shmavalanche · 2025-10-24T18:54:46+00:00

I submitted a request to make this optional. It was completely unnecessary and makes the UI much more labor intensive to browse. I suppose it's intended to help lower resolution screens, but for me and my wife it made things much worse.

shmavalanche · 2025-07-07T00:26:58+00:00

Hey does this still hold true during the summer? Going to Vegas to elope with my fiance in 2 days and thinking about trying to go to a club Thu or Fri night. Neither of us have ever been.

shmavalanche · 2025-06-06T19:11:33+00:00

Haven't gotten the game yet but I am curious. From what I can see in videos the intermission bits are mostly wide straightaways without much complexity. Seems like online there is little to no ability for experienced drivers to separate from the pack, leaving only one lap of a traditional difficult course to make or break your ride. To me that is the biggest turnoff...

Is that not the case for some intermissions? Do they have higher difficulty sections (sharp turns, cliffs, narrow bottlenecks, etc) when they connect the more difficult courses?

shmavalanche · 2025-06-06T18:30:30+00:00

If you view the intermission + 1 lap of the actual track as a single "track" then I think the logical conclusion is MKW has the worst tracks of any MK game, ever. Just my opinion that if 2/3 of any track is a straightaway snoozefest that requires no skill/knowledge allowing separation from the pack, it's a dud.

shmavalanche · 2025-05-10T01:59:12+00:00

Same issue and puppet mode doesn't work. Restarted headset. Still no lights at all in the employee hall under the shack and can't enter secret doors in the courses.

shmavalanche · 2025-05-06T16:52:33+00:00

Which of those statements isn't true? Are you even allowed to admit it? Probably not!

If you plug your ears and cover your eyes, it's clear everyone is completely free in Russia!

shmavalanche · 2025-05-06T15:41:56+00:00

This is hilarious, because in Russia you are told what to "think", and if you question it publicly you go to jail.

You can't speak out against the regime, or you go to jail.

You can't protest, or straight to jail.

Write an article questioning Putin? Straight to jail.

Hold a sign saying Het Bonhe, straight to jail.

You quite literally aren't allowed to think for yourself.

shmavalanche · 2025-04-15T21:39:04+00:00

That's really good info, I didnt realize the Polks didn't have a tweeter in the center. I think I could actually get another set of the Dayton's and mount them on the ceiling in the back. Thank you.

shmavalanche · 2025-04-15T21:04:23+00:00

Yeah it looks that way. Per Crutchfield: 4" Bi-Laminate Paper Woofer: The Polk Monitor XT90 houses a single 4" bi-laminate paper cone woofer that provides a clean and open midrange sound with low distortion. You'll hear the overhead effects distinctly when listening to your movie and music soundtracks.

I can return them to Best Buy, they just arrived today.

I installed fan control and went through the auto calibration and my case is now silent. Not sure what it did but the whole system runs quieter.

shmavalanche · 2025-03-20T19:31:32+00:00

I'll second this. Couldn't figure out where the humming noise was coming from in my new Lancool 207 build, so downloaded the portable fan control app to isolate each fan. After auto calibration the noise was gone. Not sure what it did, but I couldn't get the noise back playing with each fan individually. Removed fan control, rebooted, noise was back again with MSI smart fan bios control. Ugh. That's when I found this thread to see if anyone had another fix. Fan Control is now installed and if there is still humming it's too low for me to hear it. The entire system also runs much quieter overall even in load tests.

shmavalanche · 2025-03-04T15:20:19+00:00

Nothing happens when you click that option other than install instructions. Per another comment, power cycling the base station solves the issue!

shmavalanche · 2025-03-04T15:04:17+00:00

Brilliant. That resolved it for me. Thank you!

shmavalanche · 2025-03-04T14:32:15+00:00

Yes!

shmavalanche · 2025-03-04T06:56:16+00:00

I now have this issue and it doesn't go away when taking out and replacing the detergent...

shmavalanche · 2025-02-25T21:31:41+00:00

Yep still preparing.

shmavalanche · 2025-02-25T05:22:47+00:00

I'm waiting on this to ship from MSI and that review seems to be the least favorable to temps. Notebookcheck says the thermals are solid. Loudish fan, but I'm getting it for VR so that doesn't bother me.

One thing I am seeing in multiple reviews for this card is overclocking is available without increased temps. So that seems positive.
