Baronjutter posted:I love pets, I just hate barking dogs keeping me up all night because of lovely owners and lovely landlords that don't enforce rules. It's way easier to say "no pets" than actually kick some out out of a building because their dog barks every second they're not home. If noise complaints were handled by the city and not the landlord that would be another issue, but so many landlords just don't want to deal with anything, specially conflict between tenants and will often side with who ever isn't bothering them. A couple of my friends live in buildings that allow cats and they smell like cat piss and my wife gets all itchy (allergic) anytime she goes over. I've seen god drat kitty litter in the hallways. The problem of course is easily solved by better building codes and landlords actually cleaning and enforcing rules. My other friend's apartment has an ongoing problem with dog poo poo in the hallways and stairwells because people are too lazy to take their tiny toy breeds outside, specially in the winter, and just let them poo poo in the hallways. If you're renting at the lower end of the price spectrum pet-free buildings are always so much nicer. If you're going to be stuck in a poorly maintained slum it's just nice to eliminate pet poo poo and noises from the list of horrible issues, it's just one less thing to have to endure because your landlord is NOT going to be helping you. If you're allergic to the neighbour's cat, you end up having to move. If the neighbour's dog keeps you up all night, tough poo poo you end up having to move if you want to sleep. I don't want people driven from their homes because some idiot decided they just absolutely need an animal in their apartment. Just kill the dog dude, geez.

Furnaceface posted:Hockey has always been a rich mans sport, dont kid yourself. I hope youth hockey enrollment continues to plummet because its fun to watch Don Cherry freak out and blame everything from immigrants to liberal scum for it and not the fact that the game just got too expensive and people just dont make enough money anymore to cover the massive monetary and time sinks it requires to have your kid participate. I prefer UK hockey without all the pads

I made a lovely still in College just to prove it would work. Built it out of supplies from Walmart. Basically a croc pot heated on a big skillet and spiraled copper tubing out the top. Filter what comes out through activated Carbon(several times) for that smooth winter mountain taste. It caught on fire super good.

I don't know how anyone does it and walks away from it. Where's the site super? Where's the developer saying "redo this loving garbage" ? And now it's apparently going to fall off and catch on fire. Who do you need to impress with a nice looking building if you've pre-sold the entire thing? All those panels line up perfectly in the CG render.

Sundae posted:Wow... that's horrifying. I can walk down the street to a handmade, high-quality wooden furniture shop here (a benefit of living in Amish country) and stock out an entire house with stuff that will never, ever break and (probably) not go too much further out of style since it's already antique-looking, and $15K could do every single piece of furniture in the entire place, custom-built. Even that is over the top and ridiculous to me. Instead, there's the St. Vincent's furniture thrift store where the exact same stuff is $100 a pop used if I don't care about it being a perfect fit in every possible way (which I don't). You should visit the "Design District" in Toronto. it's a few blocks of some of the most outrageously priced poo poo you will ever see. $1000 vacuum formed plastic lawn chairs. But they're for inside.

Rick Rickshaw posted:Ohh boy you nailed it. I think restaurant owners also love the social standing that comes with owning a restaurant. Not that there's anything wrong with that per-say. But when you bring yourself to financial ruin for this social standing and give your employees no notice when you close up shop...well, then that's sad. I like the gordon ramsey kitchen nightmare shows where it is very clear the restaurant owners have watched too many movies and think that restaurant ownership is some sort of shortcut to climb the social ladder and get into the family bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Sep 21, 2015 |

PT6A posted:My parents are planning to sell their big house, and move into a downtown penthouse that's worth about the same amount. I think it's a pretty good call, and it's going to make the discussion about, "y'all are too goddamn old to drive!" a lot easier in a decade or two. They also are selling their vacation house, because they finally realized that, after upkeep on that is all paid for, they could take wicked vacations somewhere that isn't in the precise middle-of-nowhere BC. My parents were looking into condo livin' too, but I think they settled on a 1 storey. They like keeping a garden but won't miss the lawn.

PT6A posted:So what? You're just meant to wait around stinky as all gently caress or showering at a gym until you finally get a hold of your lazy-rear end landlord and harass him into actually fixing the thing he's responsible for? The time without a shower is spent questioning your lack of equity. Also a lot of landlords are dumb and know as little about the law as tenants, so just offering to hire repairmen yourself and deducting the cost from rent (as if you are doing them a favour) can get a lazy landlord off their rear end if it means saving a few bucks.

PT6A posted:It is doing them a favour, though? They're responsible for the repair one way or the other, and unless they're capable of effecting the repair themselves, they're just going to hire a dude the same as you would. If they have someone that they use regularly and get a discount, presumably they would make that information known to their tenant so they don't have to be bothered every time something fucks up. We're talking about a bad fictional landlord, assume that none of that information is available. And you're not doing them a favour, you float the idea as if you are, instead of being antagonistic and framing it as 'I'm paying this plumber and NOT MY RENT!' The implied threat being I, as a dummy tenant would just hire the first guy I see in the yellowpages, and not his wink and a handshake shady brother-in-law or whoever he will get to do the fix as cheaply as possible. A $50 fix from that guy may end up being a large chunk of my rent if I hired a legitimate contractor instead. You're just scaring them with that but in a nice 'see, I'm trying to help, aren't I nice??' way. I have never actually had to hire anybody, but i have suggested this idea years ago to a landlord in college, and recently to the guy I rent from now. Both times it went from "I can get a guy there in a few days" to "I have a few hours tonight I'll stop by and see what's wrong. My guy will be there tomorrow." bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Nov 12, 2015 |
