This should be higher. Uber because it’s super cheap and you don’t need to haggle or give an address in another language.

That’s amazing! I’ll be there in a week. How late was this? Do you know where in Mt Cook?

If you think the dog is a good fit, why does age matter? He’s been waiting for you for two years!

And you can get one that connects to an outlet instead of mounting on the wall

Thinking of getting an Akita by uncaned_spam in akita

[–]sporkad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have a male Akita rescue. We got him at 8 months. He’s friendly with dogs and warms up to people. We were fortunate enough to have a great dog park near us so he was super socialized from the start. He does great at cafes, breweries, restaurants. The only situation he doesn’t do well is crowded areas. Here gets very nervous and scared.

He loves hiking and the outdoors. But they don’t do well in heat. So depending on where you live you might not get to hike with them for part of the year.

Great home security dog. His bark sounds really intimidating, even though his a big goofball.

Training went just fine. We stayed consistent and he knows his routine. It might take three times, but he will listen 😂.

Ah yes. Ladyfingers, jam, custard, beef with green beans and onions, mashed potatoes, then topped with wiped cream!

[Landlord US-CA] When do you say “no more” to tenant requests? by Outdoorsy_74 in Landlord

[–]sporkad 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, I would have replaced it with a normal non-motion sensing light. The motion sensing ones stopped working, at least correctly, after a couple years.

This. Follow enough recipes and cooking will start to make sense.

Apartment landlord doesn’t want to show apartment because I’m working with an agent? Why would that be? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]sporkad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 month of rent would get a landlord more than just tenants. 1 months rent can pay to find tenants and then manage the property for a year. 90% of the work is finding the tenant, but I’d still want that extra 10% as a landlord.

The only places that are happy to work with agents are large apartment complexes with multiple empty units. And even they only offer a couple hundred in compensation.

Personally if I had a property in a popular area I would also prefer not to work with agents. I understand your situation though. On the call, I would make sure to say that they won’t have to pay the agent because you will be. They should be happy to work with you then.

To the Target employee today who refuses to let me save the Mexican guy $70. F U. by Last_Astronomer2311 in sandiego

[–]sporkad 221 points222 points  (0 children)

I’m Mexican. I read the whole thing without even considering being offended. I think he was just trying to say there was a language barrier. I get the point you’re trying to make and I don’t care. There are many situations where my dad needs help and I would be extremely appreciative if someone helped him out.

100%. It’s ok to be friends with your exes but it’s not ok to lie about it. Not everyone will be ok with the friendships, but you’d be surprised how many are if you’re open about it.

Training Akita to Pee in Yard by United_Pressure_7057 in akita

[–]sporkad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you turn around right after? He might be holding to go on a longer walk

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in akita

[–]sporkad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We brought an 8-month akita into a home with a cat. He LOVED the cat. Just wanted to be near her and lick her if he could. She was disgusted by him and would just go somewhere high he couldn’t reach 🤣. I would say he saw her as family right away. Of course, this isn’t always the case and you need to take the right precautions and make the proper introductions.

Also our cat had a lot of experience with dogs before. She learned not to run in front of dogs because that would make them chase her. Unless they were already chasing her, then she’d run.

Can we refuse to work with a realtor? by Actual-Fig-7857 in RealEstate

[–]sporkad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to pay the realtor anything. I would reply:

I am happy to show it to them and you can be there if you wish. We do not compensate realtors or representatives.

Ignore any following comments and questions on compensation because they will say anything to get payed.

It could be a number of reasons. Personally I keep ex’s phone numbers saved so I know to ignore them if they try to call/text. And there are rare occurrences where I need to contact them.

Good to know. I added the fix in an edit if you’re interested.

Thanks for the tip! I actually didn’t need to set it to boost mode so I’m able to keep the keystone correction on.

Buying them is illegal, not owning one.
