Who has to pay for this? :/ (Glass door in rented flat)

Hi All,

hope someone has maybe an idea. We closed the door of our shower in our rented flat in Amsterdam normally and the safety glass broke in a thousand pieces. We did not close it with extra force, just normally, so I assume it was just impurity in the glass or wearing off over time. I think it would not count as 'we caused the damage', in my understanding. However, the landlord answered:

######

I would like to refer you to the following provision in your tenancy agreement:

(Glass) Damage – 17. The landlord emphasizes that all damage to or within the rented property is at the tenant’s own expense and risk, in accordance with Article 13 of the General Provisions. The landlord does not take out any (glass) insurance, and in the event of damage, the tenant cannot therefore make a claim under any insurance policy taken out by the landlord. In addition to the obligation under Article 13.7 of the General Provisions to take out adequate contents insurance, the tenant is also required to take out third-party liability insurance (AVP). The tenant is, of course, free to take out any additional insurance policies.

######

Our liability insurance does not cover glass damage. However, I am not sure if this should be a liability case anyways, as we did not 'destroy it'.

Any help would be appreciated. <3

No kills in like 15 games

Is this a skill issue? Or is the skill based matchmaking broken?

I am a returning player and was quite good in Warzone during COVID. Came back to play some games, get absolutely smashed as soon as I meet someone

This is how much you guys would have paid for it :D

Hi All,

So, the other day I posted an ad from a seller with an 'unsorted' box of (mostly probably bulk) from the pre-modern era, but it seemed like some cards (such as a Dark Ritual) were placed in a way that it was maybe supposed to seem more valuable than it probably was (I did not buy it, so we will never know I am afraid). This was the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1v0ssa3/what_would_you_pay_for_this/

However, because I am also a statistician, I thought you guys might be interested in the actual distribution of what you would have paid for the box. I think we see quite a pattern 😄

(The dataset contains a total of 131 monetary valuations.)

What would you pay for this?

Any recommendations on how much I should offer on this? Seller claims it's unsorted and they just want to get rid of it, but yeah, I assume usually they at least check if there's a treasure inside. Still, I very much love going through old bulk collections to find some cool cards and I'm willing to pay for the feeling of doing that. But I also don't want to get ripped off.

Thanks for any help

EDIT: current offer is like 140 dollars. Well, I am not going there😄 Someone is willing to pay more for the feeling

Edit 2: the seller did have three mtg sales around 2020-2022 (can't see what) but that makes me think they at least know a little more about mtg and would not sell this for 140 bucks if there is dual lands in there

Edit 3: it was sold for 150USD. Unfortunately, we will never know what's inside :D

Not buying scarce products anymore

Nobody needs to care what I do or what I do not with my money but I am so sick of planned scarcity, I am sick of getting tricked into thinking something is of high value because a company has some marketing agenda... I am sick of scalpers and their bots trying to squeeze the last pennies out of people that just trying to enjoy their hobbies when they are not working the rest of the week. And I don't even hate scalpers personally because they are just the symptom, not the disease...

I will stop exactly now and no company will care at all but I will feel better.

Laters...

Had to run to the train

I just had to run to the train because the previous train was late (not my fault), but while running I fell over my suitcase in the middle of the train station (my fault). But my mood dropped and now I don't enjoy my day currently but I hope I'll get back up soon 🙄

Edit: Thanks everyone. Feeling better😃❤️

Color Matching box and sets

I really love when my decks are in boxes that work with the theme color. The green here is maybe not perfectly reflected in the blue of the box but I still think it works quite well overall 😃😍

Offene Beziehungen sind von außenstehenden nicht zu verurteilen

Finds krass wie heftig in den sozialen Medien verurteilt wird, wenn es um das Thema "Offene Beziehung" geht. So Aussagen wie "keine echte Liebe", oder "geht immer nur von einer Person aus die schon ein Auge auf jemanden geworfen hat" sind generalisierend und anmaßend. Man sollte sich nicht rausnehmen über ein Paar zu urteilen nur weil sie ihre Beziehung so definieren, wie sie möchten. Und die eigene Definition von Liebe als die einzig wahre zu beanspruchen ist einfach lächerlich...

Klar gibt es viele Beispiele bei denen es nicht funktioniert hat, und man kennt dann halt ein zwei aus dem Umfeld. Gibt aber unendlich viele Gründe weswegen Beziehungen nicht funktionieren, bei manchen liegt's halt daran dass die offene Beziehung nicht das richtige war. Ist trotzdem nicht auf andere Paare 1 zu 1 zu übertragen...

Vor allem ist es wirklich etwas, was die außenstehende Person wirklich NULL beeinflusst. Kann dir doch egal sein was andere Paare machen. Das Argument ist immer dass die Leute es dann für sich behalten sollen, fair, aber das ist auch nicht Offene Beziehung spezifisch. Heute wird ja jeder Schrott auf Social Media geteilt...

Deutsches Filmschauspiel ist nicht gut

Wenn ich im TV wohin schalte sehe ich oft schon an der schwachen Leistung bei der Mimik nach Sekunden dass es eine deutsche Produktion ist, bevor jemand anfängt zu sprechen. Es kommt mir so vor als würden deutsche Schauspieler und Schauspielerinnen nur im Theater ausgebildet werden und dann vor die Kamera geschickt (an Leute die Ahnung haben, ist das so?).

&#x200B;

Französische oder Englische Produktionen sind auch kein Hollywood, und die sind trotzdem oft sehr gut.

&#x200B;

Und was mich dann besonders nervt ist, dass die Branche sich dann oft auch noch selbst feiert. Mein Beispiel ist (kp wie viele) Jahre alt, aber bei dieser Rubinrot Trilogie fand ich's so krass. Nachwuchs Filmpreise, Schlagzeilen "Deutschland kann Hollywood". Und die Filme waren schauspielerisch wirklich so schwach.. Naja, sorry dass ich kein neueres Beispiel hab aber ist bestimmt immer noch so...

Oxazepam Anxiety

I have quite a normal every-day life but strong anxiety of being stuck somewhere or can't leave or whatever, which translates strongly to flights but also for instance to taking medicine which is also a form of not being able to leave the (physical) situation. Now I have to fly every 8 weeks for work and it got to a point where I cancelled the last two trips because I was 'sick'. Obviously this will not be possible more than another 1 or 2 times, preferably 0. Also I love my job and don't want to switch..

Now my doc prescribed me Oxazepam, 10 mg, for the flights, but I am so scared of taking it. It's not even the addiction part, it's only the 'loosing control of the situation' thing. I know that this is a low dose but yeah...

Now my doctor told me to test one at home and not take the first one on the plane, but even in my safe home I just can't get myself to do it. My therapist gave me as homework to try one, as this is probably quite a good exposition for the loosing control situation, which is then quickly solved by the pill effect.

But yeah, I am sitting here with the pill in front of me since 6 hours and my brain says no...🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyone have experiences with Oxazepam? How is the first hour before it kicks in?

Hi everyone,

Hope it's okay to just post here in the main. I just like a second opinion because I feel as if I am treated a little unfair, but maybe it's just me. My friend and I bought Sengoku Dynasty because it looked nice in the Trailer and we liked Medieval Dynasty. We played for a couple hours, and it started to be really unplayable. Constant crashes, lagging and so on. After some reading on reddit, this is apparently a known problem but I don't know if anyone still works on it. We tried to refund it, but got the answer that we played too long to be eligible. I think this is really unfair given the situation, we were really just scratching the surface of what the game allegedly offers but we will never get there. And 30 EUR I find quite expensive for a game that obviously is not publish ready...

Well just wanted to see how others feel about that. I feel like I paid 30 EUR for something that is unusable, but I was only able to find out after the refund deadline passed, and even after an appeal the decision did not change🤷🏻‍♂️

Gmail account used in Outlook. I sent 2 E-Mails. Drafts in the side-menu now says 2. In Drafts however is nothing. The mails also did not arrive with the recipients nor in the Sent folder even. Now I cannot locate them anymore, what is left is only the side-menu 2 of Drafts.

I tried to:

reinstall Outlook, re-add the accounts, reset the accounts, checked the online gmail (where I cannot find the mails at all, drafts shows 0 here). They are apparently somewhere lost in Outlook. Unfortunately, these emails are important and I cannot just resend them and spam the recipients. Please help me.
