That’s not run down, that’s a warehouse. Is it falling apart? Is the flooring worn? Are the walls cracking? Ceilings leaking? That’s what run down means, not whatever your weird complaint is about the decor and color scheme is.

Have an electrician come map your outlets. They find the connections in the breaker panel, then they trace them out to figure out where they go and what they do. Your contractor may be right, but as someone that bought a house that’s over 100 years old, it’s just as likely that the switch goes nowhere/isn’t live, or powers something you’d NEVER think of, or powers something that you can’t even see because someone put a drywall facade over it or some other weirdness!

We discovered that we had a LIVE outlet, under our living room floor. For some reason, at some point someone decided that needed an outlet literally in the middle of the living room floor (coffee table lame is my guess). The previous owner/flipper put feaux-hardwood laminate down in the whole house and instead of deactivating it, they just put the flooring right over the top of it and its live 100 year old cloth wrapped wires, leaving us a lovely little fire hazard! That outlet was controlled by, you guessed it, the mystery switch on the wall next to the front door that didn’t seem to do anything.

Return all that shit, sell your keyboard, and buy one with USB instead.

That’s the “you gotta take these before I wake up covered in bbq sauce and shame” friend. They’re rare but always a delight

Stop talking to people about it? Nobody has ever offered me car advice unsolicited, whether you are doing it consciously or not, you are introducing the topic into conversation and they are providing their 2 cents. At that point it isn’t unsolicited, you have broached a topic where everybody has personal experiences and opinions. Expecting people not to provide their input is unrealistic. So if you want to avoid that, keep the car topic to yourself and don’t mention it.

Also, idk where you live, but you do not need to haggle at the dealership or with anybody these days. All manufacturers have their trim prices and options available on their website, can ping inventory, and quote delivery timelines to your local dealership if not available in your area. You can buy your car start to finish online, and in many cases have it delivered straight to your house. Most dealers have a completely online sales division now. There are also tons of apps and services that can check inventory, options, and prices without ever speaking to a sales person.

Jesus Christ wtf. Like not even a Freudian slip or anything (not that it would be excusable then either) but just like full n word.

What a piece of shit.

That does sound like a big concern. In that case, feel free to add nervous pacing to your standing routine. I do not recommend standing in the pool currently, maybe wait on that one for a bit!

That’s fair. Probably not helpful at the moment but i got a sit or stand desk awhile back and it’s terrific. Sometimes I don’t use it enough but recently I saw a video that anything you enjoy sitting you can usually enjoy standing. Like my controller is wireless I can stand instead of sit ony couch. I can eat dinner aty kitchen counter instead of sitting every night. I can have a drink with friends while standing, etc. Even without a standing desk that’s probably true for you as well. If you put on movie or a game stand to watch some of it. It feels weird at first but I stand probably 2/3 of my day now. Try it out!

Why, my friend? Stand up! Move about!

Whoever packaged these is an idiot.

AdGuard was my ad blocker of choice on Android for years, but man did they fall off a cliff recently. I used them when you could purchase a forever license (which I don’t even think is an option anymore?), and it was great. All ads would be blocked basically everywhere, whenever they’d sneak through it just meant there was a filter that was out of date and needed to be updated.

Then about a year ago, the shenanigans started. Non-stop emails like OP is complaining about but also - their service BROKE whenever my phone would switch from data to wifi or vice versa. Like, any time it switched network types, just no internet would work at all. I’d have to force quit AdGuard and suddenly everything was fine. The timing happened when android updated from 12 to 13, so I figured it was something to do with that and emailed customer service. I got a notice that said something like “due to high ticket volume, it may be SEVERAL WEEKS before we get to your ticket or acknowledge it is being worked on, thank you for your patience.” So they’re spamming your inbox non-stop trying to click farm, but they have nobody actually working on the product. I never heard anything ever again (still haven’t…account is still active, email is still the same). I tried reaching out 3 or 4 more times but I’ve never received a response.

So…yeah fuck em I guess.

Been there. Happened to me in grad school but I woke up to a bat on my leg. Thing with bats ks you can’t tell if they bit you because their teeth leave little baby pinpricks that look like damn near everything else that bites, including mosquitoes.

I got a bill for $13,000. Basically 1000 for every shot to the ass they gave me. I had to pay it from my student loans. Yay America.

This article is dumb. It grasps at straws and seems to completely overlook the fact that union contracts have to be voted on by their members. If the tank and file aren’t happy with this deal, it won’t pass.

“Only an 18%” raise over four years is 4.5% per year. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t keep up with inflation, that’s still a hell of a guarantee. Very few raises are keeping up with inflation, mine included.

It also complains about $23 for part timers and seems to suggest it’s not enough to make ends meet…of course it isn’t. It’s a part time job. $23 is $8 above minimum wage, like what is this trash?

Said it replying to someone else, but easiest solution bar none (based on the fairly limited info) is to move the washer and dryer to the garage, and make the laundry room a closet or small office.

Would you fucking stop please?

I like how yesterday everyone was like “wow what braindead timing, what are they even thinking” and today it’s people posting non-stop r/place updates.

Their goal is to get people to use their shitty platform and get ads into eyeballs. Congratulations, you all fell for it.

This is the correct answer.

Can you not change your all icons on iPhone to anything you want like you can on Android? That fuckin sucks fam.

Reddit Premium costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. However, for users subscribing through the iOS app, the subscription is more expensive – $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year.

LMAO they killed third party apps to force you to use their garbage app, then charge extra for something if you buy it in said garbage app. What in the actual fuck.

Different strokes!

You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don’t usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She’s like “I knew women’s hips were bigger but Jesus Christ”.
