You just know these fuckers bought rental property they couldn't afford and need rent to be ridiculous to pay their own mortgage.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Just popping in to say according to Slickdeals thread the Winix C545 Air Purifier will be on sale again at Costco starting on 3/10 for ~$100. Same deal basically:
https://www.costco.com/winix-true-hepa-4-stage-air-purifier-with-wi-fi-and-additional-filter.product.100662892.html

These come with 2 years worth of filters ($70 retail) so if you're thinking wildfire season might be bad again this year then it may be worth picking a couple of these up.

Given our state's track record the fires will probably be bad again. I'll try to remember to quote that deal post again once they go on sale in 9 days.

Last year we got a ton of rain in the winter months that led to a bunch of extra vegetation that had dried up and formed into perfect kindling come fire season, but this year at least in the Bay Area we got gently caress all rain. Not that drought conditions are a good thing either, but hopefully there's just less to burn this year.

That said we had a couple days here where it almost touched 80 degrees in like mid-February, so summer is going to suck.

My parents are good landlords because they only rent their rental house to family members, and rent is only the cost of the mortgage, $650 a month.

This is bait

The parents in this thought exercise exploit their family because they aren't sharing the accumulation of capital with the people paying off the mortgage.

Has anyone been able to lower their rent? Thinking about it living in the Bay area, it's a straight scam that my landlord charges me the same amount for rent that they were charging me a year ago. I'm aware some people have moved out to avoid paying the rent altogether but I'm curious if I could negotiate lower rent - maybe that would require a tenant union.

Our complex lowered our rent by $600 dollars or so and gave us a month free without even being asked. It was pretty awesome.

Just moved out of my unit and my landlady told me as she gave me back my deposit that the only people left in my building are olds who’ve lived in their units for like twenty years and she’s considering selling the building (and presumably Ellis evicting everyone).

Rents ought to be much lower across the board, I just think most landlords have gotten so used to the 2010s gravy train that it’s super painful for them when number finally goes down.

I managed to snatch up an appointment for my first shot this Wednesday but the office emailed me the night before basically saying "oops! the county didn't come through with the doses, we have to reschedule"

So yeah it's gonna be a great time

I managed to get an appointment on Feb 8th at the buttcrack of the morning trudged all the way out to the fairgrounds in the mud and rain (I don't own a car) then the guy said sorry we're only doing *partial* 1b right now and was turned away. Afterwards, found out that on that day 4000 people "didn't show up" so they had excess shots.

Since they announced 1b was fully open I've been checking every day, they put up appointments until the 5th about a week ago now that's tomorrow and they still haven't announced anything past that.

I showed up an entire appointment window's worth of time before my appointment and walked right in with nobody asking me more than "you here for shot 1 or 2?". I bet a little chutzpah could get shots for a lot of people who aren't on the approved lists right now.
