    None of those are illegal; they are situations wherein the landlord is obligated to fix the problem. The pipes never burst, it is a hypothetical. The power went out, that’s beyond their control. We’re buying a generator. They’re taking it off the rent.

    My landlords are excellent.


  • Man I am rural as FUCK and I rent with my gf.

    It is better.

    Power went out last week in subzero temps. Told the landlord were buying a generator and taking it off our rent. Because guess who pays if the pipes freeze? I don’t mean just for the pipes, I mean for the roof over our head until it’s fixed. Oh that’s right: then.

    If a tree falls on the roof they replaced 2 years ago, guess who pays?

    If the plow guy fucks up the drive way again, guess who pays to fix?

    If the fucking door’s weather stripping comes off and it gets drafty, guess who is paying for the weather stripping to fix it?

    The economy is so ass right now, my gf and I are poised to buy, but it just doesn’t make sense right now. Our rent is near $3k a month, and that mortgage would get us dick nothing next to what we have. Would literally afford us half the sq ft and half the acreage for worse everything.

    Is it bad for equity? Yeah. Is it really the best option until the market turns? 100%. A down payment on a house for a mortgage is lighting that money on fire. Our rent for 2 years is less than any down payment we’d be making. I’d say we’re willing to wait a solid 5 years to decide on buying/renting until our folks are all dead.




  • My extended family has worked for companies in the Disney umbrella and as part of one’s retirement package, gets free admission to Disney parks for them and family members. They get half price hotels in the area.

    My sister and brother in law make real good money. Over a third of a mil a year between the two of them. They said it was pretty much breaking the bank/almost out of reach. With all that saved, it was about $10k per person for the 5 day trip. $40k vacation. Coulda bought a car.









  • I might be misunderstanding this concept but it seems like extra work, or a recipe for an insecure mess that could become difficult to maintain.

    I run elk stack and log basically everything which has created a centralized point for observability. This lets me granularly investigate and thereby control the state of all of my networks services.

    It’s a little ram hungry, but I’ve got some overhead.
