    So a my building charged me for a clogged toilet repair that turned into a total replacement.

    Its listed as a plumbing damage charge, I don't believe they have a basis to charge for that. What should I do?

    Also my insurance company interestingly didnt renew my tenant insurance policy ive had fot years with no change.

    Should I ask them to provide the documented charge and consider filing a claim with my insurance seeing as they're dropping me anyway? Should I ensure I have a new policy before I file that claim

    If people can afford to travel to Norway, this shouldn't be a problem. The locals shouldn't have to bear the brunt of capitalism and neoliberalism like they do everywhere else

    Lanolin is a fantastic and inexpensvie moisturizer and balm for wherever on your body is chapped and needs to be protected and have its moisture restored. It doesn't make your body addicted to it and it just works as long as you wet the area with water and apply immediatey after.

    My lips used to be a warzone, particularly in the winter but not anymore with lanolin. Its seriously better than chapstick, Burts Bees, Nivea, Carmex, whatever other stuff that needs to advertise or rely on its ubiquity to persuade you its what you should use for your body

    There's a ton of astroturfing as well, I would go so far as to say a good deal of Apple users would never be involved in online Apple discussions or fanboyist gushing. They are my main devices and platform but they annoy the hell out of me just as much for every awesome thing they create or innovate in that I actually like and implement

    Moneystats for iOS and Mac is my most used and favorite because it helps me model my financial stuff and fprecast everything so I can juggle everything and play out all my decisions rather than do dumb stuff and suffer later.

    Very little stress if I keep on top of it and keep it up to date. I'd very likely be on the street if it wasnt for this app, not even joking. Left to my own devices I'd br screwed and an absolute chronic panic attack if I didnt have it
