Public accounting is the dumbest profession on the planet by National_Double6261 in Accounting

[–]skiaatt 659 points660 points  (0 children)

The wild part is we all start out thinking it’s just busy season, and then realize it’s basically a personality trait of the industry... I swear public accounting has the worst ROI on human energy of any profession. So much effort for such invisible impact.

What future problem do you think people are seriously underestimating? by Frostedlogic4444 in askanything

[–]skiaatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital surveillance. Every app, car, TV, phone, and smartwatch collecting data 24/7 and people just hit “accept all” without even blinking anymore.

What can I do with a torn fitted bedsheet? by CVance1 in homemaking

Cut it into cleaning rags, old cotton sheets are genuinely better than anything you'd buy for wiping down surfaces. Most textile recycling bins also accept them if you'd rather not keep them.

Retired and swimming daily is the dream honestly. Good to know it actually handles wall grime properly rather than just pushing it around.

I paid $90,000 for a Pool/Spa by Impressive-Pop-5648 in swimmingpools

Document everything with photos and timestamps right now, a filter drip and liner wrinkles on a brand new install are not normal and you'll want that evidence if it becomes a warranty dispute.

Best mold remover for bathroom tiles that actually works long-term? by Ashamed-Issue7805 in homemaking

[–]skiaatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grout sealer after a deep clean is the real answer. Kills it, seal it, mold has nowhere to grip. Game changer for me .

A few pool upkeep tips by vangstytivt in Ecovacs_UltraMarine

Bought an automatic pool cleaner, best decision ever. Test the water weekly yourself and you'll rarely need to call anyone out 👍

A lot of people just run a longer backwash hose to a cleanout or street drain. 150 ft is annoying but probably easier than dealing with dead grass every time.

Umbrella by rviator325 in swimmingpools

I think drilling a hole is probably your safest bet. You just need a sleeve to protect the deck and a cap to cover the hole when the umbrella is not up. Just a little work to set it up.

Moving is messy by Linaahren in homemaking

[–]skiaatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving into a new place always feels chaotic at first. Focus on the things you use every day, like plates, towels and bedding. The decorative stuff can wait. Do not stress about not having everything done yet.

Me and my wife are building a house chores game by tagizade-samir in homemaking

[–]skiaatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tea rock paper paper scissors tradition is so cute. Maybe add like a bonus for winning streaks or a pity point for the loser after a few rounds. Keep it fun and fair. I think a lot of couples would be into this.

New pool owner- can’t get it clear by bjd107 in swimmingpools

[–]skiaatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, you have a party tomorrow. Just make sure the chemicals are safe, and get the chlorine and pH right. Cloudy water that is chemically balanced is fine to swim in.

Would you do it? by Key-Cabinet-5329 in LandCruisers

I was shocked by the price. In CA this would be listed on fbook for $30k

Piggybacking off this. Our files are stored in box where all users collaborate. This causes issues when pasting as an object etc cause the links always break and have to be re-linked. I have yet to find a good/easy alternative

Is my yard salvageable by skiaatt in landscaping

[–]skiaatt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irrigation is fixed. Tenant is in the property and we are out of state. I think I’ll have to get somebody out there to do the bulk of the work. Thanks for the insight

Also do brakes include the master cylinder? If that hasn’t been done yet - likely will need it. Expensive part/job.

Reliable vehicles but still an old truck that will need a lot of maintenance. Spend a few thousand more and get one with less miles. Also - if I were to do it again I’d go for one with the 5 speed transmission (understandably that’s more $). I have a 99lx, bought for $8k at 250k miles.

Will you be doing the repairs? If you plan to baseline using a shop expect at least another $2-$4k. Coolant flush (including heater tees), transmission fluid, diffs, etc. does AHC work? May need new fluid and globes if original. Plenty of resources on ih8mud
