[01:08] IsambardPrince There was a guy there that offered to sell me a water dispenser real cheap if I subscribed to water deliveries from a truck. [01:09] IsambardPrince I laughed at him and said "We have really good water here and Amazon Basics has Brita-compatible filters for $2.20 each, and they filter 40 gallons before you have to change them out." [01:14] IsambardPrince You have to rent the dispenser for $6.50 a month but where they really get you is that each 5 gallon jug of water is $8. So if you need 20 gallons that week you're in for $32 a week for the water. 52 weeks a year is $1664 for the water and 12 months for the dispenser is $78. [01:58] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: It said pour 20% of bottle down the drain. [01:58] IsambardPrince I think I did more like 40%.

[06:45] IsambardPrince They will happily do illegal things like when you call to port out your number, which automatically cancels a line, turn you over to a collection agency and claim you somehow owe them for a line that's active and does not have a phone number. [06:45] IsambardPrince Which is impossible. [06:45] IsambardPrince They use a collection agency that says it's AI and apparently part of being "AI" is that it can't actually respond to credit bureau disputes. [06:45] IsambardPrince So those fall off if you dispute them because the only thing the "AI" agent can do is harass you about debt you don't actually owe AT&T. [06:46] IsambardPrince It's like an "exit tax". [06:47] IsambardPrince They think they can get you to pay by threatening to ruin your credit. [06:47] IsambardPrince So many people pay them to go away even though it's wrong, because the amount is usually between $150-300. [06:48] IsambardPrince The Fair Credit Reporting Act says that if a creditor fails to reply to a dispute within 30 days, it comes off your credit report. Sometimes they do respond later and it comes back, but I've never had that happen when I've disputed charged off credit cards, AT&T, medical bills, or anything else. [06:49] IsambardPrince About half the time the creditor is simply so disorganized that they fail to reply and never get back to it, or don't have enough documentation to prove you owe them. [06:49] schestowitz[TR2] schestowitz[TR2]: The funny thing about AT&T is they're an even worse cell phone company than they were when it was landline and DSL. [06:49] schestowitz[TR2] right [06:49] IsambardPrince There are "credit repair" companies that charge money and basically all they do is dispute every bad thing on your credit, and when some of it falls off, they show you it's "working" and they want more money.

[18:13] IsambardPrince You won't be a priority for utility outages because they go where the most people will have service restored. [18:14] IsambardPrince And usually the well water sucks and good luck getting enough water pressure and septic capacity to deal with the reject rate and flow restriction of an RO system.

[18:24] IsambardPrince Not Greg's fault. [18:24] MinceR Mr. Jinks? [18:25] IsambardPrince While trying to deal with the luggage issue, Greg accidentally lets Jinx out and chases him up a lattice onto the roof, where he pauses to have a cigarette, and then he gives up chasing the cat for a while and takes a break with a cigarette while on the phone with the airport again, and carelessly tosses the cigarette and sets the leaves in the gutter on fire then panics and tries to smother them, knocking the leaves and the [18:25] IsambardPrince electrical hookup off the house and onto the yard where the downed power line catches the gazebo and dead leave on the yard on fire. [18:25] IsambardPrince That one was at least partially Greg's fault. [18:26] IsambardPrince The electrical hookup should have been sturdier, and the father in law should have cleaned the gutters out and raked the yard. [18:26] IsambardPrince But the fire still wouldn't have happened without Greg's cigarette. [18:26] MinceR lol [18:27] IsambardPrince But to take the spotlight off himself, he points to Owen Wilson's character who built a wedding gazebo for Greg, and blames him for using so much lacquer. [18:27] IsambardPrince Which is DARVO.

[19:22] IsambardPrince The tenants upstairs were putting hamburger grease and food scraps in the kitchen drain. [19:22] MinceR Special K? [19:22] IsambardPrince Then when it wouldn't work, they started using the bathroom drains and the toilet. [19:22] MinceR and there's a K-hole in the roof? [19:22] IsambardPrince Then they were clogged. [19:22] MinceR lol [19:22] IsambardPrince So the landlord went up there with some drain cleaner. It said try using 1/4 of a cup. [19:23] IsambardPrince He poured the whole thing in, which was 8 doses at once. [19:23] IsambardPrince And then chased it with water, and the drain pipe exploded. [19:23] IsambardPrince It destroyed the ceiling and rained down water and that chemical into mom's kitchen.

[19:30] IsambardPrince You need about 58 parts per million to prevent algae. [19:31] IsambardPrince But Trump has them dumping it in as fast as they can get the stuff. [19:31] IsambardPrince And now the algae is still floating around in spots because the pool doesn't circulate water around. [19:31] IsambardPrince So there's spots where it's killing algae and spots where its not. [19:32] IsambardPrince They should have poured in enough peroxide at the beginning then filled the pool so that it would mix evenly. [19:32] IsambardPrince MinceR: They should have actually renovated it instead of painting it with defective paint and bringing in disgusting water from the Potomac basin. [19:33] IsambardPrince They should have put in the peroxide then filled it from city mains. [19:34] IsambardPrince You can still end up with algae even if you do that, from birds and stuff, but if you start out with water that is treated and not contaminated, then you mix in the peroxide, it will prevent it with ongoing upkeep. [19:34] IsambardPrince You'll have to shock the water occasionally with an algaecide but it allows for milder treatments than trying to deal with disgusting water that's already heavily infested. [19:35] IsambardPrince I know all about pool water from when my aunt decided to put in an above ground pool and then did not maintain it to prevent algae. [19:35] IsambardPrince City mains water will not grow algae as quickly, but it will eventually happen unless you are preventing it.
