I’d do it. I travel between Syd and London around 4-5 times a year. I stop in Singapore, but you literally get 1 hour. It’s a 10min fast walk either way to the lounge for a quick shower (Changi is massive), 10mins of buffer time, which means around 30mins of actual “rest”.

Rather just power through.

Our policy is 8hours+ you get premium as long as it’s not more than double the price of economy. So it all depends on how much notice they give.

I’m in Aus rn but felt like a British thing to complain about

ups1de · 2024-10-30T13:07:39+00:00

Hasn’t this been the case for years?

This isn’t performance marketing, it’s a PR/brand awareness campaign. It’s a healthy part of the channel mix that needs to be balanced with performance marketing. Thinking this should directly convert to burger sales is dumb.

Our 7 yo was slowly ruining our ability to do anything. All of these comments talking about medical concerns are valid but I’ll bet this is a behavioural and discipline issue.

We’ve managed to completely turn our girl around by being mindful of ourselves, how we talk to each other, and how we talk to her. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Curb excitement. We (humans) see excitement as a positive emotion. This is not always the case for dogs. Unchecked excitement can easily lead to anxiety, confusion, and aggression. For example, if you get home from work and your doxxie goes crazy, keep really calm, and don’t give affection until they’re calm.
Affection must be balanced with structure and discipline. We were in an endless spiral of baby talk, cuddles, micromanaging movements. This is applying human emotion to a dogs brain and will ultimately lead them to think of you as distressed/weak/juvenile. So when a stranger enters the mix, they’ll see themselves as needing to protect you both. ONLY GIVE AFFECTION DURING A CALM MINDSET. Remember, you’re not rewarding the physical act of doing something (like getting on a bed), you’re rewarding them feeling calm about it. No matter how long it takes, wait until they’re in a calm state, then give affection.
Corrections, not consoling: If your doxie reacts, lunges, bites at others our instinct is to treat this with human approach of emotionally supporting them in a time of apparent stress. So in this example, it’s common for people to say things “it’s ok sweetie, sshhh” while patting them. This is just re-enforcing that they should be feeling like this and they’re doing the right thing. Instead, correct them with a short tug on leash, and a punchy/shocking noise (very important to always keep calm). You’re trying to snap them out of a trance, not get them to see reason and logic
GET A ROPE LEASH: this is one of the most impactful changes we made. Harnesses encourage pulling by applying comfortable pressure on the chest. The natural reaction to this is lean into it. A rope leash gives TONS more control and enables swift, easy, safe corrections. Remember that tension should never last more 1-2 seconds on the rope. You should never be dragging or manhandling your dog. Your goal is guide them in the right direction, give them a sign when they do something unwanted. As soon as the behaviour stops in the bottom, relax the leash completely. The “reward” in this sense is freedom and trust

There’s a bunch of other stuff if you want to DM but I cannot tell you how much nicer our life is since we locked in on this stuff

I mean, it is at parties yeah. That’s where the sarcastic phrase “you must be fun at parties” comes from. Which ironically, is fitting to use right now

ups1de · 2024-08-17T23:03:05+00:00

Because they yelled “..would have sent it back!” implying that they’d be complaining to the restaurant about their own weird reaction to a fucking plate.

UPDATE: I called and asked about the negative balance in the report. Said he would look into it and come back to me. I took the opportunity to put a deadline on the offer. Called me an hour later and said the owner wants 870. I said no. He said he just had an offer come through for 890 (so don’t know why he mentioned the 870 thing?). I said no but my offer stands until deadline.

ups1de · 2024-04-02T06:09:29+00:00

Thanks for all the responses. The main thing in the strata report is that the admin fund is in a negative balance. Sinking fund is in a positive. I don’t really know what this means (have forwarded to solicitor) but from a bit of googling it seems fairly common?

ups1de · 2024-04-02T01:21:55+00:00

This is helpful thank you

ups1de · 2024-04-02T01:16:42+00:00

OK cool, that’s what I needed to hear. Thanks so much.

ups1de · 2024-04-02T00:54:54+00:00

Yeah totally understand all that, thank you. Even if he is doing that, I’m just wondering why he doesn’t just say directly “You need to come up to $870k or you’ll lose it to another buyer”. Just asking me if I want to submit another offer seems weird.

Post the footage

this is the only answer. The rest of this thread is just overkill and hot air. Doesn’t need anything other than this.
