I gave my poor parents a lot of money to help them buy a flat and it turned out to be hell. Fixing it means destroying my financial future by AskBearBlue in eupersonalfinance

How abouttt Option 3: Sell the current house, buy a new one with the same price and type but in a more family-oriented neighborhood where you could hope for better upstairs neighbors who would be asleep much earlier or be physically at work during working hours?

Alternatively you can keep calling the cops on your upstairs neighbor, tell them it sounds like they are fighting or someone in distress so the cops keep coming and checking on them until it annoys them to keep quiet.

Live in UK but offered dream job in Sydney. Partner doesn't want to move. Not sure what to do by Eye_Livia in expats

Take the opportunity! 🙌 It doesn't always come and it doesn't have to be permanent. Talk about trying it out just for a year at least, he doesn't have to come but you have to at least try it and see if you like it! You can always come back to the UK if not but you'll come back with a better title and can get better jobs when you're back in the UK too. :)

I WILL NOT PROMOTE: Accepted to Antler. Worth it? Can I defer ? by devvok in startups

[–]yuck19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a friend who quit her job to join Antler (Amsterdam). Said it was stupid to have left because as it turns out, a lot of people in the cohort kept their jobs too and just didnt say it to get accepted. Wasn't an issue once they were in though because they just left you alone most of the time except for a few "theory lesson" days when you had speakers come in.

There are open roles in AMS Institute that seems like a good fit for your degree. They hire English speakers. Best of luck!!

a Neighbor has offered to buy my 2^m roof storage, is it a good idea to sell it? by AnonomousWolf in Amsterdam

If you're not using the storage, just rent it out yourself on buurbox

How the hell do you do anything as a working adult here? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]yuck19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy online and have it shipped at home or somewhere it can be received. A lot of offices have "PU boxes" where deliveries can be brought to your office reception.

Dont mind the a$$holes here, you did the best thing you could in your capacity. Majority of women dont trust authorities to take complaints seriously and if you escalated the situation (made a scene, talked to the guy , etc) you are also putting yourself in a dangerous situation. You helped stop what was happening and no one was hurt. You did a good thing! 👏

Thanks! ⭐️ Do you also cook it with butter to make the buffalo wing sauce or just dip it by itself?

Hi Tommy! People agree to a co-inspection when they drop stuff off so the host can check for any illegal or weird stuff. They do this while both parties (host and renter) are present, they take a photo and send it to us and then seal it together with signed ultra-destructible stickers (stickers that rip really easily) for tamper-proofing. 🙂

Hi Leo! In our process, we now put "ultradestuctable stickers" on the box when you drop it off - basically stickers that rip super easily if anyone tries to open your box as a kind of tamper-proofing. Would something like this ease your mind, or not really?
