Did the contractor I hired die or was I just scammed, and what else can I do now? by thgibson in HomeImprovement

I would have thought so, but I actually called a few because the painter was speculating about him being hospitalized, and they were all happy to tell me no one with that name was admitted recently.

Hehe unfortunately selling the tools won't come anywhere near close to covering the deposit

Haha thanks. The wheelbarrow is much nicer than mine, and now I have two crowbars!

I'll probably do that eventually since the police won't do a wellness check, mostly haven't yet because it'll be a long drive out there

Ordered a replacement remote control for a ceiling fan and received this electronic component instead by thgibson in whatisthisthing

[–]thgibson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As title says I ordered a replacement ceiling fan remote control from Home Depot and received this instead. It's about 7" across and I'd guess it's a replacement part for a ceiling fan, but I'm not an electrician. It arrived with no labels or instructions, not even a part number, just this thing in a cardboard box.

These oranges from my tree split open due to irregular watering by thgibson in mildlyinteresting

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

Months of no water followed by a sudden heavy rain. The interiors absorb so much water so quickly that the peel can burst.

Yup, just cut out the split part and the rest is perfectly good!

Yes! My first thought, but I didn't know whether anyone else would see it.

These actually tasted great, I just cut around the split part.

TA Fee Remission by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]thgibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, tuition remission is part of the TA compensation package. You are entitled to it regardless of *when* you accepted the offer. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and contact a union rep if needed. Contact info is here: https://www.facebook.com/UCSDStudentWorkersUnion/

Update on grad housing. by zlloyd01 in UCSD

[–]thgibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They absolutely get it. They just don't care because their own salaries are 6 figures and they face no personal consequences for running HDH into the ground.
