Yes! That way when the intruder breaks into one of these doors or windows and has your loaded gun, it’s now a robbery. Well done.

I don’t think it’s market specific (for example I’m in the notoriously low vacancy / high rent NYC area) as much as situation specific. You will likely get no traction at all using this approach with a mid sized or larger management company - this will likely only work when the property is managed directly by the…

Long story short my rent has remained the same for a few years and I’ve been gifted some nice power tools of my choosing along the way.

If they’re old enough to be taught how to fall, they’re old enough to learn some jiu jitsu. On the flipside it is quite humbling to get arm barred by an 8 year old

I don’t think you can can call yourself a man if you are mentally/physically capable, yet unwilling to care for yourself and those who depend on you - wife, husband, SO, kids, whatever. Grow the fuck up. What happens when she’s sick? Or GONE? You lazy mouthbreathing shitbag.

The comment was meant to be a little tongue in cheek on this one, noble warrior.

You’re most of the way there already. Opt for dress-casual, keep the hair tight (no afro or dreads), maybe get some low/no prescription glasses. If you mean large/muscular, do your best to hide it with loose but not too loose clothing. Tucked in of course. Think Carl Winslow / Carlton Banks - most 30-60 year old white…

As a man who works in an engineering team with mostly men and a few really sharp women, my advice is to not change your general demeanor at work too much (unless you’re a complete asshole no matter your gender), but definitely be approachable and carve out some time time to regularly have lunch, grab drinks, and bro…

Side note about OpenDNS - your consumer router probably doesn’t filter DNS requests, which means that your mildly tech-savvy kids/guests can manually enter their own DNS server in their TCP/IP settings, and not use the OpenDNS server that is assigned to them via DHCP (but still use the assigned IP address).

Depends on the restaurant and how many people you have. I’ve been to several that won’t do split checks for parties of 5 or more, for example. To be clear they’ll split the single check evenly across all of your payment methods, but not ring each diner up separately.

A colloquial term of camaraderie derived from the word “brother,” used here to indicate that I understand what you have described and have been through something similar myself many times over.

Bruh you have no idea. Obviously there are pretty clear cause and effect situations that are true for all humans, but past the broad basics of “I have clearly identified the invasive species and we’re gonna kill it and get it out of you, just like the thousands of identical cases before you” they make educated guesses…

Well if my life was lived completely in a vacuum, I would have many regrets, most notably getting caught there in the first place and never finding a way out. Unless maybe if I were in a Roomba, then I could take heart that there may be a kitteh occasionally along for the ride with me in an adorable YouTube video.

The first thing I noticed in the linked article is that Norman is dated as April 1 of this year. So, grain of salt, folks.

A lot of new suburban developments incorporate this idea. The neighborhood roads are curved when they could easily have been straight (and even accommodated an extra couple of properties) precisely to make it uncomfortable to speed*, with the side benefit that it’s more aesthetically pleasing to not see a grid of…

From the looks of it, you’ll only be hosting an outdoor movie on a moonless night in the forest and/or with the audience crowded around a very small projection surface. 100 lumens is fine for that impromptu team review of floorplans or schematics while in a dark corner of a construction site, for example, but I cannot…

Yes 100% to that last bit. Honestly other than a streamlined screening specifically for items that could kill a lot of people at once (explosives, firearms, large quantities of chemicals) or interfere with the operation of the aircraft in a short amount of time (EMP, large power tools), the rest is really security…

You, sir or ma’am, are a flying machine, and we all applaud your stamina, circulatory health, and consideration for your fellow passengers’ comfort at the expense of your own. I won’t make assumptions about your physical size, but suffice to say that some of us taller folks benefit greatly from the few degrees…

I got burned pretty bad a couple times before deciding not to keep rolling the dice. For the time it takes for me to do my due diligence on CL randos, I could have hired a fully licensed and insured pro and moved on. YMMV obviously and it probably varies a lot city to city. I could also just be bad at sniffing out…

Angieslist is good. I haven’t used HomeAdvisor/Service Magic yet, but will check it out next time I’ve got some work for someone.
