Official Vent Thread

My neighbors across the hall have a dog that just consistently barks when they're not home. After multiple weeks of this, I'm going mad. When they are home, they must have their speakers right at the door because it's so loud. I've been in this apartment for five years and this is the first time it's been this noisy.

Heads up that Microsoft automatically added a bunch of AI bullshit to Office 365 subscriptions and raised prices without consent. Here are instructions for getting rid of it.

I opened Word at home yesterday and saw the new AI module. There was no notification it entails an automatic subscription upgrade to a higher price level.
Thanks.

It's sneaky bullshit even if you don't hate AI

I know they most of the time end up failing and I know it ends up being the "Retirement league" joke... but I really want us to sign a high profile player again. It was fun telling people "Yeah, so Pirlo...." and their faces light up. And also going to the stadium and being like "holy shit, they're really right there. every week. in front of my face."

Among my US Soccer membership level benefits is a free jersey every year. I don't really need more jerseys but free is free. Yesterday they emailed the link and my password for the available shirts. I signed in 3 hours later. There were in theory 18 adult jersey options counting USMNT, USWNT, and Men's and Women's shirt types in assorted styles.

Every Mens USMNT XL shirt was sold out.
All but 1 Mens USWNT XL shirt was sold out.
12 of the 18 jerseys were sold out in every size.

Email text: "Once a jersey is out of stock, it will not be replenished. We kindly ask that you select another option."

Fanatics Launches Ticket Strategy in Two-Way Deal With Ticketmaster. I am going to repeat the joke, I can’t wait to order for tickets for a football game and get Ice Capades tickets instead.

The two worst companies in sports business teaming up. Classic. The enshittification of everything continues. Next you're going to tell me Southwest Airlines is ending free checked bags.

In an ironic turn of events I asked my landlord to call a plumber for some issues with the sink. They said they would come today between 12 and 4. I had to leave work early to meet them. Of course the plumber didn’t come and had to reschedule to Monday. You ask what’s ironic about that? Oh. The apartment above us is leaking water into our bathroom. I think the bathroom must be flooding our something while they are not home. I can hear the drops on top of the ceiling and a little dribbling is coming through the vent. Fml.

Ouch. I feel that pain. I had water leaking problems in my apartment over the years. The upstairs neighbor likes to leave the water running and since they are disgusting and irresponsible, their drains are somehow always clogged (or maybe they block them?). So water overflows and comes pouring down into my apartment like it's raining.

Sorry you're going through that mess. hopefully your landlord is proactive and takes care of it quickly. Mine moved faster when I showed them all the video and photo evidence.

I appreciate the kind words and woof that’s frustrating situation. Thankfully my landlord is pretty good. Already sent over a handy man to take a look and took pictures to send to the landlord to work out estimates for a repair. Thankfully everything seems still pretty solid but there is some water damage that needs to be looked at
