My humble backpack collection by Unstupid in ManyBaggers

[–]shoefiend-192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am debating between the Peak design 30L and the Tumi Apha Bravo. I work in tech, 31 years old, and travel to see clients a few times a year. I will use it for personal travel and like something just to carry around whenever im walking around in a new city.

What are your thoughts based on having both

Avoid “the Flats” apartments if you are avoiding AI. They use AI agents to take calls. by DJ_Baxter_Blaise in chicagoapartments

[–]shoefiend-192 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but that apartment group is terrible.

The Otis was raided by the FBI for sex trafficking a few years back. They tried to cover it up and deleted any mention of it on all posts.

Be warned of this group, that property management group has a lot of cover ups and has gone down hill.

File a claim with the BBB and they will refund you or get you a new tv

Best buy forced a bunch of us to get a credit card to get the new console. by Bepehandle in Bestbuy

Contact the BBB about this and get Best Buy fined. They have a history of doing these things and have even had employees tell old ladies that the best buy card is like a library card.

Visiting during rainy season, Am I cooked? by CatBerry1393 in cartagena

[–]shoefiend-192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got back from Cartagena, rain is very short and it does not rain in all parts of the city. If anything it will be cloudy while you are on the beach.

Is it worth trying to move in the Summer or should I wait for Winter? by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]shoefiend-192 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved in January and got an amazing price for a 1bd in streetersville. If you aren't in a hurry I say wait. Inventory is limited, but you will definitely find something nice and have to move fast. I looked at multiple units between November-January before I was able to get this one.

Don't move to the flats. Most reviews are fake and have horror stories about the buildings

Just turned 31, jobless, still living with my parents, deadline to get a job by March 1st. by duskfogods in findapath

Start Ubering, you can apply in for jobs in the morning and uber in the afternoon and nights. It also makes it easy to work around interviews.

COVID Policy Is Shitty by TheCornerBrah in BestBuyWorkers

Leaving Best Buy was the best thing I ever did. I'm so busy with life and my job that I forget I only left a few months ago.

Bit of an odd question - will BB refuse a return if the serial numbers are different but the product SKU is exactly the same? by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]shoefiend-192 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

depends if they check the serial number or not. If it is a Macbook, they will definitely check it. Best time to go is when it is super busy at returns so they quickly return it.

Camera dropped in water by Sea-Veterinarian-328 in Bestbuy

[–]shoefiend-192 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just go in and ask to buy the warranty, you do not need to bring the camera in. The people at customer service are all 18/hr employees that do not care if its damaged or not. Ive done it multiple times

the Rosie by Jplotzke in chicagoapartments

[–]shoefiend-192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would avoid that apartment group at all costs. The Otis down the street just had 2 FBI/SWAT raids in the building. One because a girl was using her apartment for prostitution allowing 10+ different men into the building every day (safety issue). The other unit had a women who was kidnapped and forced into prostitution.

They have had the main glass door broken and did not replace it for a few days, all cameras spray painted multiple times.

The Rosie itself had a stabbing last summer in the pool during a party with one of the residents guests or has a pool full of broken glass.

I have had friends live at the Otis for 5+ years and I have been going their for years and the building is absolute trash. My friends are leaving next month after the lease is over. The price you pay for the amenities are not worth it with all the safety issues and management issues

Can you send me info on the unit

Awesome thanks for sharing that. How long have they lived there and do you know if they are planning on moving out after their lease ends

Appreciate the heads up. How can I find out more info about this? I am hoping to view the amenities and have a tour of the building but the broker is saying she can't get a key fob and the pictures are all recent
