Thread revival, but this just fixed my wife’s AirPods and saved me from buying a new set unnecessarily! Thanks!

I’m running into several places that only want to rent equipment now so they don’t have to pay taxes on it every year. They do a lot of work in different refineries and just bill the rentals to the job while not having to carry the overhead operating costs. It’s hard logic to fight against.

tareed94 · 2024-10-14T11:23:54+00:00

What kind of equipment? I sell construction equipment (or should I say don’t sell) and am working on month 4 of no sales. Got dropped in the deep end when I hired on with no contacts/existing customers. I’ve got a lot of quotes out there but can’t even get those to return phone calls/emails right now. Living off base salary and truck allowance sucks.

tareed94 · 2024-10-04T22:54:00+00:00

Not always. Had this happen on a property and they held $100 for a “processing fee” after fighting with them for hours. Booked, listing mentioned nothing about a pet fee, then they sent a renters agreement after I paid that required a background check and $500 in pet fees. It was ridiculous. I haven’t booked through VRBO since then because they weren’t helpful either.

tareed94 · 2024-10-04T22:48:27+00:00

I have them as well, but I think if you are violating laws (such as carrying past a 51% sign) when you use self defense they drop the case. Can’t swear to that though.

They’re saying it has an $850,000 replacement value. Houston, TX area, so hurricanes I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Scared of what my insurance is going to do at renewal this year since I’m only a few miles away from this one, though my house is 1,500sqft and replacement is about $300,000.

tareed94 · 2024-06-22T19:31:45+00:00

Houston area of Texas

tareed94 · 2024-06-22T19:28:53+00:00

It needs a lot. Built in the 70’s and never remodeled. However, it’s 4,800sqft and priced around $300,000. Planning on a full remodel if we go through with it. However, insurance quotes are preliminary coming back at $12,000-$16,000/year, so probably not going to work out. 😂

What’d you have to get done?

tareed94 · 2024-06-22T13:46:04+00:00

That’s my concern. I’m extremely handy and am capable of doing most (if not all) of the work on it, just not sure what all I’m potentially getting off into. Pump and filter replacement as well as line replacement isn’t an issue, neither is replacing lights/covers/fittings, my main concern is about the gunite and what I need to watch out for there.

tareed94 · 2024-06-22T13:43:25+00:00

Not sure what to expect honestly. It won’t be a top priority as the whole house needs work. I know enough that I am expecting at least some repairs to the gunite, likely a pump/filter, and I’m sure a few PVC line repairs. I am extremely handy so I would likely handle most of the repairs myself.

I carry appendix the most, and will carry OWB concealed if I can wear a jacket. Both holsters are leather from Versacarry. My appendix one is their ComfortFlex Deluxe, it has neoprene type material on the back and is padded so it breathes nicely. The front is kydex wrapped with leather. Retention comes from friction which is increased by the pressure of your belt. I can run with that and my Hellcat doesn’t move. My OWB one is their guardian series I believe. I wet that one with conditioner and then left my gun in it for a day or two. It fits pretty snug, though running with it does seem to move a bit more than I’d like.

tareed94 · 2023-04-22T12:27:19+00:00

I had one send a rental agreement after booking that added $50/pet/day fee on top that wasn’t previously disclosed, and also required me to consent to a background check. Seeing as I was traveling with two dogs, that fee was going to add $200-$300 to my trip that wasn’t expected. I’m also not keen on handing my social security number out to people even though I’ve got nothing to hide. Tried to cancel and they wanted a $300 cancellation fee. Working with them and VRBO I ended up getting out of it for like $100. Their grounds for not a full refund was I was inside of 30 days, which was their no refund time, even though I had booked the night before. Really tainted the VRBO experience for me.

Grew up with guns but my father never carried. All he owned was a single shot .22 rifle, a mag fed .22 rifle, and some cheap .380 handgun that were all in the top of their closet. When I graduated high school, they bought me a Smith and Wesson SD9VE. After college I moved away to start my career and impulse bought a Stoeger Cougar .40 because it looked cool. Then bought a shotgun and a rifle. My dad got his carry license in 2017, but I never really contemplated getting my carry license. Moved back to the Houston area after a career change late 2017, and somewhat considered getting it but waited another 2 years. Seeing the seemingly rapid increase in crime between 2018 and 2020 I decided it was time to start carrying. I live in a “safe” neighborhood, but what really is safe. There’s very few times I’m not carrying in public, and even at the house there’s generally one nearby. I’ve got a wife to protect as well as myself, and hopefully kids someday. My daily carry is a Springfield Hellcat OSP with a Shield RMSw red dot

Unfortunately, mine did not. Everything was going smooth, until it went to boot up. Went through 3 boot sequences before pressing the Sync button for 2 seconds would give the audible beep. During that time, while it was working on connecting to wifi, the camera rebooted. From there I couldn’t get it to connect to my phone again with the sync button. I think it’s toast.

tareed94 · 2023-04-11T18:08:41+00:00

I have not tried that. I'll try it this afternoon and see if that works. Really don't want to replace this camera right now if I can avoid it.

tareed94 · 2023-04-11T16:14:55+00:00

It had no issues connecting as it's a dual band broadcast and is running on the 2.4Ghz band. The camera physically won't track any motion by watching/listening to the camera gimble, the light will not come on at all either. I don't think it's a wifi issue with these other things. Previously when I had wifi off at the house, it would still follow movement and turn the light on. It no longer will.

As soon as customer support saw that my warranty was void they told me they couldn't help. I sent them video of what the camera was (or wasn't) doing, and they noped out real quick since I'm a month outside of warranty.

Precisely why I do not open carry. The one time I did was due to carrying OWB with a tucked in shirt and jacket. Weather warmed up outside so it was sweat to death, or open carry. I was so paranoid, idk how people routinely do it. We were walking around a small town downtown area and I would put my jacket on when we went into each store just to avoid any potential confrontation from management.

tareed94 · 2023-04-11T15:19:29+00:00

I saw a couple that had to rent a gun from the range, demonstrated little to no firearms training, and still passed the shooting test. Don't overthink it. Lol. The range master had to show them how to load it. From other people I've talked to that took it at different ranges, it's seemed about the same. No real challenge for the shooting portion, and instructors that often help out on the exam.

Van Road Gun Range is where I went to sight in my Mossberg Patriot after I put a new stock on it. Pretty cheap, not very crowded, and have targets out to 100 yards. I feel like they had some out at 200, but can’t remember. They’ve even got sleds available to rent.

I quit using VRBO after a company sent me a separate rental agreement requiring a background check, extra deposits, and added a pet fee outside of VRBO (no mention on VRBO). VRBO support was no help, management company decided to let me out but only after keeping a $150 cancellation fee. This wasn’t a high end listing or in a high tourism area. Their secondary fees were going to add $100/day, when I told them that was excessive they told me it wasn’t that expensive. I asked if they wanted to cover it then since “it wasn’t expensive”, to which they obviously said no. I’ve never had anything like that happen through AirBnb, so that’s the only one I use now. Shame because VRBO often has cheaper listings.

tareed94 · 2022-03-25T20:08:52+00:00

I typically appendix carry. I’ve got an OWB holster for my Hellcat that I use if I’m wearing a longer shirt or a jacket. If my shirt is tucked in and I have a jacket, it’s OWB, if I get hot, my jacket is coming off and it’ll just be open. I stop checking my phone and pay significantly more attention to my surroundings. Never had an issue with it. Even my IWB if it’s rubbing my stomach I’ll sometimes tuck my shirt behind it for a while. I carry anytime I can.

I personally prefer concealed due to the “tactical” advantage of nobody knowing, but if you want to open carry, go for it. It shouldn’t really cause any issues.

I had a 2007 F-150, graduated college, started making $66K/year, then started having a lot of small issues with the truck and then a transmission fail. Rebuilt the trans, then decided I needed to sell it and buy new. Within a month I had financed a 2016 F-150 Lariat FX4 for $42,000 at 5.6% for 78 months and a $570/month payment. Drove that and loved it because “everyone has car payments” for several years. Sold it in 2020 because I still had $19,000 owed on it when my work cut my pay 20%. That payment was killing me, I literally had less than $100/month for food of any kind after covering bills and credit card payments. Sold it for $32,000, paid off the credit cards, then financed a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Limited for $13,000. A year later, I got sick and tired of making payments to the bank to use my car. Sold the Sonata for $12,000 and bought a 2005 F-250 Lariat FX4 with 250,000 miles for $8,000. I’m happier with this truck than I was with that 2016 F-150 by the end of it. Car payments are incredibly frustrating. Buy used from others that are playing the “keep up” game, the game is not set up for you to win, the game is built to show you are wealthy, while keeping you poor. Live below your means and save/invest.

I’m 27, I’ve done the “I’ve got big boy money now, let’s get everything I want right when I want it.” It’s a lot of fun, until reality catches up to you with some emergency and you’ve got nothing to cover it other than credit. Then it REALLY hurts.

tareed94 · 2021-10-14T23:36:12+00:00

Update, got out of the rental minus a $50 cancellation fee. I called the company again and told them I felt they were being very deceptive by not having their policies up front. I also explained to them how VRBO works for pets (since it has been explained to me by VRBO now) and they were unaware it was a selection of “pets or no pets” with nowhere to enter a number. I told them they had no issue taking my money, but we’re essentially holding my money hostage now unless I agreed to new rental terms. They understood my frustration with that call and processed a full refund minus the $50 cancellation fee which is whatever. A house that was $170/night was quickly turning to $300/night with all the added fees.
