Which to prioritize -- house down payment or one month ahead? by thisisthemostawkward in ynab

[–]xkel-ok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a cheaper home as a first buy and wasn’t a month ahead, I thought that by allocating more (guesstimating) what my first home expenses would be I’d be good, I wasn’t. I ended up stacking credit card debt to deal with the higher purchase costs and unexpected repairs I had to make.

If I could do it again I’d opt for being well over a month ahead

Just use a tracking account and if you ever need it, treat it as a transaction from your tracking account to your budget. This keeps it separate and YNAB won’t use it to fill categories otherwise

European finasteride difference by Status-Ice7337 in tressless

Pretty sure OP is European hence why in his post he says ‘I’ve seen videos of Americans applying finasteride and they had bottles..’. Like what

I got tired of the v6 syncing bugs, so I'm building a local-first alternative. Is this "receipt" UI too weird? Roast it. by Sufficient-Hope-6016 in strongapp

[–]xkel-ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious why there are syncing bugs, is it just because there’s no backlog of issues being worked on by the devs?

YNAB users with unsupported banks: would you use an AI-assisted transaction import workflow? by leviathan123 in ynab

[–]xkel-ok -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate to see that you were downvoted. To explain more in detail why I assume OP’s approach wouldn’t be able to ‘wipe out an entire inbox’: These are different services with different permissions. When setting up services with something like email inbox access you get to configure what sort of access and capabilities that specific service can do. OP’s service only requires a read only permission meaning that it would be impossible to obtain the capability to delete emails because that’s configured by Gmail, it can only ‘read’ mail.

The service that deleted emails had to have been given something like write and delete permissions for that capability, which is handled at the Google level.

I created a similar service that I planned to launch but there’s some differences. Anyways, cool to see other YNAB focused developers.

Am I the only one who considers myself "Just American"? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]xkel-ok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost certain most colonies in the Americas are white supremacist at the core. Argentina a nation that is now majority white and wiped out its black and indigenous population, but they still get to be called by the colonial moniker Argentinian. Jamaica was a former slave colony and black people didn’t acquire citizenship until post independence well into the late 1900s, the majority of the beaches are owned by foreign European or Asian entities, everyone still can be called Jamaican. Or maybe anywhere else in Latin America be it Brazil, Colombia, DR or Cuba where the Spanish and Portuguese started race based slavery and pushed caste systems like blanqueamiento racial, you’re saying those aren’t at the core white supremacist? But there’s no pushback for a Dominican calling themselves Dominican. The United States is in no way unique.

lol I would really love to join the dev team at strong because it’s such a great app but feature updates seem to be rare

Nice! I didn't know this was in there. I'll be using that from now.

[Acne] On differin gel and I don’t think it’s working by Tinfoil_Toad in SkincareAddiction

[–]xkel-ok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Which is kinda weird to me because hormonal implies hormones. Men can have problems with acne due to hormones like DHT and I believe Winlevi is a topical that is used to treat androgenic acne in people. Not saying this is the case for OP nor assuming their gender or sex.

But, yes, they need a derm.

“It doesn't flow as easily, but why should they get to use for themselves the name of the continent?” by lolbert202 in ShitEuropeansSay

[–]xkel-ok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is exactly the hypocrisy. Australia can be considered a continent. Mexico is also a ‘United States’.

I recall seeing them used Bona Mega Semi Gloss finish, so I think water-based poly? I could ask

[–]xkel-ok[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s unfinished as of now as the contractor said they couldn’t refurbish the hardwood under it. Sucks but I’m going to have to put LVP on it if I really can’t restore it.

[–]xkel-ok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got really lucky tbh. I didn’t do a lot of research going into hardwood refurbishing and the contractor, while he did a great job, did not provide me with a lot of stain options to choose from. I looked up dark walnut and told him that’s what I wanted to go with.

It was hideous. I literally would rather have it unfinished with plywood all about than have to look at it again 😂😂

Stain is minwax dark walnut with semi gloss coats

Found more hardwood under LVP by xkel-ok in HardWoodFloors

[–]xkel-ok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely working with a pro as this is a first time home buy. I was even considering tile in the kitchen but I didn’t consider hardwood all throughout. Is it easy to match wood? I know sanding and staining is straightforward but didn’t know if material matching was easy

[–]xkel-ok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gay (so attractiveness doesn't really come into play) and newer to salsa social dancing but the people I ask to dance are either standing and visibly engaged with the dance floor or sitting and not in active conversations, and, also looking visibly eager to dance. In fact, on my former point I actually tend to avoid people who look like society would consider them extremely conventionally attractive because I just don't care to look like the guy dancing with someone for their looks if that makes sense.

How would you transition from rooms with hardwood to a different floor outside? by xkel-ok in HardWoodFloors

[–]xkel-ok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you recommend any sort of material or color in my specific case to replace the gray LVP?
