That’s why I put in the cough cough part… with the assumption that somebody may have been smoking something :sweat_smile:

Sounds to me like that’s the basis for another poll perhaps?

It’s a leap year so you currently need 366 days because it works to the date, not to the number of days.

Do you know the difference between a biologist and a microbiologist?

One’s a big deal, the other is a little smaller.

We laugh, but honestly, this is incredible for what it is. we are at most a year or two before it is hard to distinguish.

[Rant]

If you plan or aspire to look into getting into the rental market i advise you against it if you have any sense of pride.

I own two rentals. One was the first house i bought when i was 20, it was my home for many years. I bought it in 2005 at the height of the market right before the collapse and i weathered my own subprime loan. I renovated the house as soon as i got the keys. One day after owning it i had most of the walls and ceilings tore out. 5 months of work with just myself and my dad assisting i had a home that was mine.

i lived there for 8 years before i decided to switch careers (went from BBY Geeksquad to Wireline Operator in the Oil Fields of Texas). Since i wasnt going to make any money back from the house i decided to rent it out. In this time i have had 4 renters each stay for multiple years. After each tennant moves out, i am required by the city to obtain a new Certificate of Occupancy where an inspector goes through the property and outlines things that may have came out of code. The downside is these tenants are not just normal wear and tear and i often times have to spend thousands to get them back to code.

In the past 20 years i have spent 50k bringing this property back up.

New windows, Doors, walls, Driveway, bathroom, washer, dryer, fridge. Its ridiculous.

This last tenant has me at my wits end.

When i renovated the house in 2005 i gutted the kitchen and layed italian ceramic tile. it was beautiful. This last tenant had somehow cracked 13 tiles. i had 6 tiles left over from when i installed it in case this happened but they are all in odd places. I replaced the tiles i could but i failed inspection and was hit with “Replace floor and subfloor” from the inspector.

The past 3 days i have spent with a jack hammer removing the tile and cement board and the 900 screws left over. then laying a new subfloor, and am about to lay LVT and i have to get new cabinets because the old tenant somehow ripped all the doors and faces off of the current cabinets and drawers…

Prices for cabinetry has tripled in the past 5 years (I just renovated my own houses kitchen in 2019). I cant believe materials cost right now.

I take a shit ton of pride in my properties. I take more pride in my own work. I wont ask someone to live somewhere i wouldnt. But fuck… i can see why Landlords get a bad name and take the “cheap” route when you have tenants that destroy fuck all everything. After i can finally pass inspection it will take 6 months of rent for me to recoupe the costs of the previous tennant.

Precovid I worked a lot of large medical events.

We would often times use local labor as well as what we called permalancers (permanent freelancers) do so more specialized work.

For the event we would supply the labor with laptops to use for the duration (9-14 days)

The freelancers I knew would get a folder dumped in C:/ of every Nicholas Cage Photoshop I collected over the 10 years and a command to cycle each picture as the screensaver.

Back when I could issue sysmessages they would periodically get the error that their machine was caged.
