Court case completed for the day. Judgment in 2 weeks.

- Argued with the judge repeatedly about what is normal wear and tear.
- Had no response when the judge asked where the receipts were.
- Argued that pictures of when we lived there are relevant because it means we would leave the house dirty?
- Claimed the grout bag left by the guy who installed the kitchen tile (that she hired) was concrete for the patio. When told the bag clearly says grout she didn't have a response.
- Claimed I threatened to come to her house? When asked for evidence, she said she didn't have any.
- Claimed that because we were paying below market rate for rent, raising rent (that happened to be five days after we threatened to withhold rent) wasn't retaliatory, and it was "only" $200.

The judge cut her off mid-rant at the end and said, "Thanks for your time and judgment in two weeks."

Edit: Her response to the numerous violations of 1950.5(g) was, "I needed more time." When we responded with "The defendant never communicated with us about needing more time, and also did not provide a good faith estimate as per paragraph 3, she didn't have a response.

I've been using Garmins since before smartwatches were a thing and fitbits always seemed like a huge downgrade and behind the curve, even Polar watches had better functionality

My friend bought a new Garmin and gave me his old one and I love it. Although I use it almost entirely for fitness stuff, I do enjoy the other stuff. Can't complain about a free watch

The thing that's great about usenet is it's really easy to automate.

Downloads

SABnzbd - NZB processor. Goon project, I'm pretty sure
Sonarr for TV
Radarr for Movies
Gamebrary for videogames (though I haven't actually messed around with it)
And I use Plex as my media center but whatever you like is fine

Services

The best ones of these aren't free but they're still cheaper than HBO

NZB.su - NZB indexer, has a free tier thats limited in downloads a day, $15 a year for unlimited
Newshosting - Probably the best hosting service. 5000+ day retention. I've been able to download stuff that was 500 days old with no problem. $13 a month but they have sales often and you retain the promo price if you remain subbed. I got it for $50 a year a few black fridays back

lol I've never been healthier in my working life since I started WFH.

I eat healthier because I eat at home and I don't eat fast food or at the little restaurant at work. I walk a lot more and I have the time to do it since I'm not spending an hour commuting everyday

Same. And I workout every day. I'm in the best shape of my life because I don't waste 3 hours a day driving. I also can do my hobbies again and have extra money from not filling up my gas tank multiple times a week. Crazy. I should stop though because the poor CEOs are sad that there aren't butts in seats for them to stare at :(

I'd argue that people never bothered to measure how loving depressed and awful introverts felt at work and we just kept getting told to shut the gently caress up and deal with it.
- Like Literally my psychiatrist was just like "yeah that sucks but its life."

I was SO loving exhausted and depressed every single day in the office environment. I'd come home completely unable to talk to my husband because I was just so people'd out. I couldn't do social poo poo after work because I was already so loving burned out. Having to be ON for 9 hours a day was just killer.

Same. I have hobbies and a social life now. I actually spend time doing things with my wife after work instead of both of us starting at the TV for the 2 hours we have together before bedtime since I get home late after commuting and leave early so I can commute.

I do great in an office setting from a social standpoint, but I loving hate sitting there while my co-workers rant about trans people or windmills causing cancer or hunter Biden or whatever. It's loving exhausting. Love to see my hr person watching Fox news

Yes, I also have a memo directing us to divert patients without insurance or with medicaid to a state hospital. That one’s printed and ready to go once I find a new job. The problem is I feel attached to the community and leaving makes me feel like I’m abandoning them.

Regarding the independent contractor thing that almost assuredly means that doc group is run by private equity and they plan to balance bill you into the ground. Your doctor has no say in this by the way and might not even know that they’re doing it. The billing people no longer have to check in with the physicians.

How are you abandoning anyone? You were told there is a line waiting to replace you. The people will still be treated. gently caress that place
