First shot with a bottomless portafilter. Was expecting a gusher but turned out good!

Looking at refurbished E24s

WLL has units for ~$400 and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with their refurbishing quality. I'll also take suggestions as to where else to buy!

No options in a 100 mile radius on marketplace unfortunately. Ebay, likewise, has no options.

How to manage money from aging parent to finance their care in the future

Background: My mom is in her 60s and will continue to work for another 5-7 years. Her retirement is modest but she should be self sufficient through the last decades of her life. We both work in healthcare and understand that assisted living will drain her funds quickly, so she intends to gift me the annual maximum gift amount for the next few years so that she has fewer funds available to these facilities (at the suggestion of a fiduciary financial planner).

Fortunately she's in decent health at the moment, but her dementia and cardiavascular risk are both quite high. Don't know if she'll even need assisted living, home health, or otherwise, but we think it's safe to assume there will be some sort of significant healthcare expenses in her last decades.

My info: I'm 25 and making $110k in a LCOL area, pretty stable job, own a home with my wife, no kids at the moment. I max my retirement accounts already.

My question: What's the best type of account to keep this gifted money in? T bills? HYSA? Any other insights from those with aging parents?

Thanks!

Just discovered spirit trees. Wow.

New player with just around 100 hours clocked so far, mostly questing. Just discovered what spirit trees do. Incredible. I've walked from Lumbridge to Ardougne maybe 20 times. Makes me wonder what the hell else I've been missing.

TOS Violation Final Update

Two weeks ago I made this post about my frustrations with CR customer support. TLDR, CR locked my account due to a TOS violation and support gave me the runaround for a week straight.

On my last post, /u/faizyunus showed me a link where tickets are logged which isn't available anywhere I could find on the support website (thank you). I found that, despite numerous reps stating they opened a ticket to escalate the issue, none were actually opened under my account.

I submitted a ticket myself, was asked to confirm some info, which I did, then the ticket was marked as "solved" twice after no response. Both times I said something along the lines of "this is not resolved, please re-open". After the second time the ticket was closed, I decided to submit a BBB complaint. Have never done this before, as I've never had such an issue with support.

I provided all the details and screenshots I've logged over the last month. CR support replied the next business day and was very apologetic, acknowledging that they gave me incorrect info multiple times and closed the ticket in error.

They reactivated my account and refunded some of my annual membership to compensate. What a ride. Hope CR works flawlessly from here on out or I might lose the rest of my hair.

Update on TOS violation appeal

I made a post last week about my account randomly getting banned and CR support stating that it was due to a TOS violation, subsequently opening an appeal case.

Unfortunately, no update. I've reached out a few different occasions and have been told the following by various support persons:

  1. You will hear back within the day

  2. You will hear back in 48 hours

  3. You will hear back in a few minutes (Screenshot included because this one was funny)

  4. We do not know when you will hear back

Of course, I've not heard back at all despite these timeframes. Account is still inactive and being paid for. Can't even cancel my subscription since I can't log in. Truly a mess.

TOS violation blocking account

Unable to log in for several days. Chat support says there was a TOS violation but can't tell me what. My wife and I moved, so I'm thinking it triggered an account sharing violation or something. Anyone in a similar situation that was resolved? I feel like we should get a refund at this point.

How much longer will a flippable mattress realistically last compared to a non-flippable one?

Just bought the SOL hybrid and paid a premium compared to other latex hybrids due to the SOL being a symmetrical construction, (some other factors too: customer service seems top notch, hand tufted, free returns, and non-compressed delivery).

How much do you value the ability to flip a mattress?

Make me feel something

I didn't use the stand because I don't like how it looks and don't like when the tv wobbles when someone walks by.

Update on my broken outsole

Underwhelming response. I don't use these as work boots and don't shovel anything in them. I hike and do some light yard work. I work from home lol. If this rubber can't sustain rocks underfoot during occasional hikes, what is their purpose?

What's up with the outsole quality?

Have had these for just about a year and only wear them once a week or so. I do some light yard work but otherwise they just get used casually. I've seen others complaining about the rubber splitting on their pairs as well. What's the deal?

Just accepted first PgM job. What can I do to feel more competent?

Hello. I'm a nurse with clinical and operational experience. My most recent job was mid-level management of nurses in a managed care organization. I just took a position as a program manager, overseeing clinical operations, in the same company and had some questions.

My project management experience is limited, as I'm fairly young and have only been in the management role for a little over a year. Been involved with many projects but have not led any. I'm almost done with a Masters in Healthcare Administration, which has exposed me quite a lot to some of the concepts, so that's been helpful.

Aside from on the job training and asking questions, what are some things I can do to feel more qualified? Employer will pay for any cert I want between Lean Six Sigma, CPHQ, or PMP but none are required for the role.
