Might as well go full vegan, use hummus for a spread instead of mayo. Usually at my work we have a veggie option for catered team stuff / meetings and I don't want to pipe up like NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS PLZZZ and I know I'm not the only one, so I just hope there's no eggs or cheese or whatever. Usually it's fine because there's always wraps that are just sprouts and tomatoes and the like - but it's nice when people add the vegan option because of people's choices or culture.

I have had my email address, let's say it's golbez at gmail.com [it's not], for a decade. About a year ago, I started getting signed up for sites by someone using the equivalent of g.olbez at gmail.com. And as we know, at least on gmail, having dots in an email address doesn't change the address. She's signed up for Pinterest, an apartment landlord's mailing list, and my favorite, her kid's school's mailing list. It's always the same person, since their name is sometimes mentioned in the registration emails. Just today, she signed up for H&M's promotional emails. Wouldn't she have noticed by now that nothing she ever signs up for gets to her? How can she be using the wrong email address to sign up for things for a YEAR? I would love to be able to stop this but until then all I can do is unsubscribe from things, get Pinterest to delete the account (since I might want Pinterest some day), and tell the few humans that try to email her that this isn't her, but it's never gotten back to her. Edit: Looked at the email again; it wasn't H&M promo emails, it was an actual profile to buy things with. So odds are I might actually get an email with shipping information soon. Whee? I could try requesting a new password and logging into it but that smells a bit unsound. Golbez fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Mar 26, 2015 |

Golbez posted:email dickery I first noticed this when I got an email from his mother. It was an "I'm proud of you" kind of deal and I replied back to her saying that it was a very nice email but she had the wrong recipient. Nothing back from her after that. Later, I started getting tons of emails from BYU. I had to spend about an hour on the phone with their support department before they agreed to change his email address to something that wasn't mine. Around 15 minutes of that was explaining that I was not a student there or even in Utah. That stopped the emails from BYU at least. One of the more important-looking emails (appeared to be information for setting up housing) had his phone number on it. I figured a call would help the guy out and maybe get the whole thing cleared up. The only thing the it accomplished was confirm my suspicion that I was dealing with a complete moron. He was unaware that emails and things he was signing up for were not making it to him. When asked for his actual email address, he gave my email address. He eventually came up with the right one (making sure to clarify the spelling of the last name that we share) and I forwarded the mails to his correct address and thought that would be the end of it. It was not. I used to reply to personal emails with a friendly "you have the wrong address" message but now I just delete everything. My recommendation is to unsubscribe from what you can and delete everything else.

There's another guy on the forums with this problem and gets to see all kinds of billing information, what kind of porn this guy is into (apparently he signs up for porno sites?!?) He's been able to contact the guy since he has all this info on him but the guy disputes the ownership of the account and refused to stop using it to sign up for stuff. How he doesn't clue in to the fact that he'll never receive the emails and that he is dumping all this personal information on a stranger is beyond me. e: I should really read a post before responding to it v0v

Yikes. So... I guess I'm probably stuck with this. Oh well, thanks.  Now for hopefully the biggest swing in topics we've had on here: Is there a difference between taking a normal bath and a specialty tiny sitz bath for hemorrhoids? Apart from the extra time it takes to fill the bathtub, is there any clinical difference?

I've been getting this for years. I receive a fair amount of (though surely not all, unless this guy has a magically empty inbox) email for a guy who shares my first initial and my last name. The emails I receive are addressed to [initial][lastname]@gmail.com whereas my address is [initial].[lastname]@googlemail.com. I first experienced it when this guys kid signed up for some kids site like Neopets or whatever and I guess it was asking him to confirm his child's age. I guess his kid never got that account confirmed. He seems to be a member of the board of a rugby club in the Bahamas, and I've tried several times to warn him and his friends that these emails are not getting through. This has literally been going on for about seven years. I tried to sort it out for about two years but now I just delete the emails.

In grad school I had my email as firstname@college.edu I started getting emails from a prof's mom (he and I had the same first name). At first it was just anti mooslum fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd but then she was asking for money in her account to pay for groceries etc. I just gave up and set up forwards. I think my mistake was replying to one of her first emails. I think it caused my email to come up every time she typed her son's name.

I couldn't decide whether this should go in BFC (new car? Bad with money!) or what, but here we go - I drive a nearly ten year old Honda Element (bought new in '06) with ~86k miles on it. It's in great condition, and the dealership I purchased it from has offered me a pretty good deal to trade it in for something new. Honda is releasing the HRV crossover some time in spring, supposedly, and I would be willing to trade in for that. But I want a specific color, a specific trim level, a specific price, etc. Roughly half the cost would be taken care of with my trade in, and the rest would be paid in cash, not financed. I'm not willing to choose another car (I'd just keep the one I have now for another ten years). So how much of a bad idea is it to call the dealership and ask them when the release date is? Are they going to hound me and try to upsell me/change my mind? I just don't want to deal with it.

But if you do it anyway, I imagine if you told the salesperson a few times that if he/she calls you again after confirming the release date that you won't buy, then they won't call you again. You might be disappointed if even they don't know when they're getting the cars, though.

I bought my Element new and never had any trouble with it at all, BUT I understand that's not the case, usually, with new cars. I'm just ready to size down a little bit. We have two Honda dealers in town (and another two or three easily within driving distance) so at least I can go elsewhere if these people drive me crazy!

Another tiny medical question: If an inhaler prescribed for bronchitis says "2 puffs every 4 hours", but the person starts to feel the effects wearing off before that, is it equivalent and/or safe to translate that to "1 puff every 2 hours" and thus keep a nice steady stream of happy breathing going?

Probably one for the finance forum, but since it's a one-off I'll ask here. I'm renting my thousand square foot 2bed 2bath apartment for $1100 after water/sewer/garbage and other rent attachments. I can mortgage a similar condominium for $115k, thereabouts. Adding up property tax, (likely) PMI, and HOA fees (which include water/sewer/garbage, here), it would add up to about $1000/mo spent on the home, with maybe $450 of that actually going to the mortgage. (I'm assuming a 0-5% down here on an FHA loan, which I know is a bad idea, but bear with me.) Besides the potential risk of poo poo breaking in the condo and me being on the hook for it (as opposed to the apartment, where I just call maintenance), the condo seems like the outright better deal--I spend less monthly and build equity with part of that lesser expenditure, AND get tax writeoffs on property tax+mortgage interest. Financially speaking, am I missing something?

Step one read every post here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3131399 The biggest things I'd think about are your life situation and the fact that rent is a ceiling and PITI on a house is a floor. You can walk away from an apartment much easier. Are you married? Kids? What if you have to move for a job? You'll lose 7-10% of the house price just buying and selling it so you can't really just decide it sucks and pull the handles without being out some significant money. Also pay attention to the HOA sections if you're looking at condos. Not to dissuade you, you just want to walk into the situation with reasonable expectations, which go way beyond a comparison of rent and mortgage, taxes, and insurance.

Since we're talking about homes, I've got a question. What all does new construction in a rural area require? I've got a list of things to price to see if I can afford it, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. So far, I figure I'll need: Electric hookups (County Co-op) Water meter (Co-op again) Propane tank Septic tank Dirtwork to level a spot for the house Foundation Installation (plus whatever plumbing needs to go through the concrete) After that comes the actual construction, but is there anything I'm missing that I would need before construction can begin? And would it seem feasible to get all that for under $10k?

Ciaphas posted:Probably one for the finance forum, but since it's a one-off I'll ask here. We decided to buy a house because the 15-year mortgage was $300/mo less than our rent. It's also an investment and all that stuff. You'll need to factor in the moving expenses and stuff for maintaining a home, like tools or anything you'd like to improve or personalize the place with, like painting supplies. That's usually a one time thing but it adds up. Also consider location and if your commutes will be significantly longer. Location is huge, really research the neighborhood and the condo association before buying the place. Some condo places have weird rules. My one regret about buying our house is that the neighborhood isn't the greatest. Love our house but I'm worried about resale because of the hood. And as others have said, buying a house binds you to your location for what could be a long time. Really make sure this is something you actually want to do instead of just considering cost savings.

At this point you need to speak with your doctor about adding another medication on to your asthma regimen. Or, if you have specific triggers (exercise, cat, whatever) make sure to take the albuterol before your exposure so you're not trying to catch up.
