Vivint worth it ?

I am in search of home security system for my new home including cameras and sensors . I am a tech guy and I want ability to do a good automation around the home. Is vivint is the best choice ? Also how much initial bundle cost ? I see ADT mentioned they can give equipment for free and plus 1000$ voucher to buy stuff like cameras and 69$ monthly subscription fee . However I heard it’s not best for automation . Also I don’t see a way to get a quote from Vivint online , it’s asking me to call them ! so i assume everyone pays different price

Sky ladder Reservation Confusion, please help !

Hey, just booked the Great Rock Wall Via Ferrata Route 1 (Sky Ladder) at Qixing Mountain, Zhangjiajie on Trip.com

Got my confirmation email and voucher, but then it says I need to call some phone number to make a “reservation at least 2 days in advance.”

Do not understand why to make phone ? And how ? I already selected the day of the trip and paid for it. I am in USA. Try to add those number on WeChat and it says I need to go through security verification and I couldn’t add it.

Is this scam ? How do I proceed ?

Is this a Refusal or Denial ? (2+ years)

My parents’ US visa application at the New Delhi consulate has been stuck in administrative processing for over TWO years. The attached letters say the visa was refused under Section 221(g) for additional security screening, but also mention the case may be reconsidered once processing is complete. Because of the long delay, I requested their passports back and the embassy returned them by mail, but sent no refusal letter or request for more information. I’m confused whether the application is truly denied or still under review, and I really hope my parents can get a chance to visit me in the USA. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated.

Move out charges of 892$ for 1 bedroom Apt (TX)

Hey all,

I lived at Savoye (UDR property) in Dallas area for 6 years and just got this final account statement for $892.13. I left the unit in good condition and cleaned it very well before I move our. Only thing there were some small nail holes because of pictures I hanged . I don’t know what door damages they mentioned either .

I feel like this is excessive. What happens if I don’t and what are my options ? Do I have any chances against these huge rental companies?
