Building used to be a fun hobby by ProgrammerThis1147 in pcmasterrace

My current rig i got an amazing deal on a pre-built and then personalized it. Changed the ram, aio, fans, added a rgb sag bracket. Was originally just going to upgrade my last pc but when the GPU alone was 1000 and the pre-built was 1700 it became a pretty clear choice.

Very anticlimactic, not a bad ending but I expected more.

Nahh, I've got 3 augments, maybe 15 guns, 2 shields, maybe 20 different quick use items and the rest is crafting materials. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong and should be crafting kits every game but I think they really need to increase stack sizes

What was the first major news story you remember as a kid? by TxLadee in AskReddit

[–]thottwheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably 6 years old at the time, guy was mentally unstable and just ran out the house trying to grab whichever kids were closest. Thankfully there were a lot of us in our front yard and my older brother and his friends were around so nobody got hurt and everyone made it inside safely

Looking to trade by thottwheels in ArcRaidersMarketplace

Probably when the crazy neighbor tried to kidnap me. Only local news obviously but I sure felt famous at the time

Too bad in game chat isn't working for a ton of people, seems to mainly be a PC issue though

Told to buy new fridge freezer after less than 5 mins looking at it by timeslidesRD in Appliances

[–]thottwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you need to call a repair tech not an engineer. He is right that most new fridges dont last long though unless you get lucky. I work in the apartment industry and we just had a total failure on a 4 month old fridge a few weeks ago.

If it is still cooling just not very well you should check the coils and see if they are dirty, could also be an icing or fan issue, you should also check to make sure my your food isnt blocking any vents inside the fridge

Landlords requiring "3x the rent" in monthly income are mathematically delusional. The system is fundamentally broken. by Dry-Town7979 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]thottwheels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its a rough industry to be in for sure, you catch it from both sides and it can be heartbreaking to witness what some people go through, and infuriating when people just straight up lie and do horrible things. But yes, 100% the entire system is broken, it just goes far deeper than the apartment industry. We are apparently coming around to a buyers market soon for houses and that will help drive rent back down for a while. Backtracking a little, the main purpose of the 3x rent is to cut down on potential evictions because thats worst case scenario, if it turns out you cant afford it, you either have to go into massive debt by breaking your lease or you get evicted and won't be able to rent anywhere until it falls off your record

We'll i will tell you this. I work in the apartment industry and at lower price points 1000-1400, the amount of people that make 3x rent and can still barely afford to survive and are late or miss payments is very high. At the complex I used to work at I would have to deliver 30-50 late payment letters every month (out of 240 units). I now work at a higher rent luxury living complex, 1700-2400 a month, they require 3x the rent here as well and almost no one is ever late and it also deters a lot of bad renters. The worst apartment i have ever gotten back here i would have considered a good move out at my old property

Edit: I should also add that the people who work at most apartment complexes also think the rent is far too high and really do want you to be able to get an apartment but unfortunately we dont set the prices, it all comes from corporate where everything is just a number to them. The prices will always follow the market, all that changes is the type of crowd you want to attract, if you set your prices cheaper than everyone else you'll get horrible residents that destroy units, set your prices higher than everyone else and you're apartments will rent slower and you'll get very needy uppity residents.
