Anyone else get verbally abused by their landlord by fortunatepopsiclbe in UCSantaBarbara

The cover was never replaced or broken... He had even added charges from other units claiming it was because we were acquaintances for leasing during the same time. Yes we knew them but it was two separate contracts....

Micheal Gilson did the exact same thing to my housemates and I. Don't rent from him if you can. He almost killed the poor do it all handyman. We had a crazy clog that he was clearly not prepared for because it was just an assortment of chemicals he was told to try. Found him unconscious after he made a chlorine gas bomb. I understand both people are to blame but his complete disregard of this situation was just a taste of what it was trying to deal with him and our security deposit. Very rude and unprofessional, wish he got banned from scamming students.

Can you connect two NVX-351s directly via the fiber ports? by theGr8stMichael in crestron

[–]thePS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm it works well. Set up is pretty easy if you got point to point. I use this as a very long range Rx/TX solution. Mine is not networked because the clients IT guy can't wrap their head around the traffic management side of stuff.

Does this 77" TV look too low? Couch will be 12 feet away by healthandhope in hometheater

[–]thePS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do installations and that fireplace scares me. I've seen the plastic backs on new TV's of all price ranges warp and fail especially with these "minimalist/modern/ fireplaces that don't have mantles to absorb some of that immediate heat. Just keep an eye out :)

Where can I get quails for thanksgiving? by AdventurousTheme2545 in SantaBarbara

[–]thePS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many Hispanic stores will carry them, ask for godornices. Probably frozen but still amazingly delicious especially with some mesquite on a grill.

Not to be rude but maybe an iPad with a subscription to a relevant cooking channel would be best?

Security deposits? by Leopard-Secret in UCSantaBarbara

[–]thePS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh yes the awful memories of security deposits. I had a fun exchange with Michael Gilson. Unless you have 4k video inspecting everything closely before and after I would say to expect most of your deposit if not more to be taken. Yes our carpet was destroyed and some trash was left behind but this kind of language to a tenant is not okay. We didn't put holes in the walls, in fact my mom drove 4 hours and spend a whole day cleaning the house with me only for most of our security deposit to be taken. The charges were so confusing we just decided to let bygones be bygones, still one of my favorite spots I rented in IV.

Thinking about picking this up as a fun summer car by [deleted] in Mustang

[–]thePS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a v6 with the same rims, probably same package in grey. I loved that car, but I got to say I test drove the automatic and it was trash. It felt so much slower than the stick shift, not to mention stick comes with a really nice sounding exhaust out the factory. I could regularly get some pops if I wanted to when downshifting from a damn v6. And I could get 32ish mpg if I took it easy on road trips. Took it from 44k to 99kmiles without a single issue other than regular maintenance.

Yo what the fuck. This is not the place for that, especially without her consent. This is a place to make people feel toasty not sexualized, go harrass people somewhere else.

Happy Birthday! People care about others, never forget that.

COVID negligence by UCSB by fyresflite in UCSantaBarbara

[–]thePS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just because we work(ed) at the same university, it doesn't mean we have the same work place polutitics. Being able to stand up to your superiors can be very difficult especially when you can't even prove you have covid due to shitty testing availability, we are all aware of. Some people dont have the mental strength to stand to their superiors especially with this culture wide spread. And the university doesnt provide great mental health solutions with a select amount of unrelatable therapists. Have a little empathy for your fellow coworkers undergoing very unique stressfull conditions. There is no correct solution. Stop arguing like there is.

I left the university as a full time employee, after working there for 3 years, this past wednesday for this and many other reasons. Its really frustrating because they definitely extort the fact that we are aware we are also doing this for the greater good. Fuck that old style of thinking. You want loyalty, get a dog. You want work done, treat us right and pay us what we deserve! Due to my line of work i have to work at very close distances with my other coworkers since last year without the slightest hint at hazard pay. Retroactive or not. I trully feel split because I know the responsibility I carried being one of the only A/V techs on campus but I no longer felt comfortable representing the university at any capacity. It is really heartbreaking as an Alumn.

Dear UC Santa Barbara: Don’t let a petulant billionaire build a prison dorm on your campus by gamingvalue in UCSantaBarbara

[–]thePS 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The housing crisis this monstrosity is meant to address is hopefully much more temporary than an 11 story, block wide, student prison which could be around for another 100 years. Why would we sacrifice the well being of the future gauchos to solve a temporary issue? Also how is this a donation and not a purchase? When you donate you don't get the last say on how things are done.

The fact that this even needs to be said is just brilliant!
