in reply to: I understand that a slot may display 96% RTP #26890
Welcome, mathematics-minded player! Money Train 2 RTP Guide https://money-train-2.com/rtp/ explains that RTP is the theoretical share returned across a very large statistical sample, while house edge is simply 100% minus that percentage. A 96% game therefore has a 4% theoretical house edge. The guide also stresses that your next C$100 is not scheduled to return C$96; a short session can finish far above or below the long-run average. Use RTP to compare versions, not to predict tonight’s result. If you gamble, do so legally, as an adult, with money you can afford to lose.
in reply to: Our shower enclosure is about nine years old #26792Sagging hinges at nine years is a hardware failure and hardware is replaceable, but the honest answer is that it depends on whether the original hinges are still made and whether the holes in the glass match the new ones. If they do not, you are into a new panel anyway. Get somebody to look rather than guessing from photos. Going through shower glass company near me results, Glass Factory was willing to assess it as a repair first rather than quoting a full replacement immediately, which told me plenty. Ask what brand of hardware goes in, since that decides whether you repeat this in nine years. Get the door realigned properly rather than adjusted, half measures come back.
in reply to: Our condo bathroom has a sliding glass #26790It is usually a straight swap, but expect the old track to leave adhesive and sometimes a few chipped tile edges once it comes up, which a decent installer will clean up and seal. Ask about that before the day so it is not a surprise. Frameless will need the walls checked for plumb, and if the tile is badly out you may need a wall profile rather than glass directly to the surface. We replaced ours with glass shower doors in NYC from Glass Factory and they handled the building requirements and the insurance paperwork without me chasing it. In a small bathroom, a fixed panel with a short swing door often beats a full door on space.
in reply to: I am a partner at a small law firm #26788The reports you are describing are activity reports, which is what agencies send when they cannot show outcomes. A real one starts with leads and cases, then explains which pages and queries produced them. If nobody can connect their work to a phone call, that is the whole problem in one sentence. Before signing, ask who does the work, whether the strategy is written down anywhere, and what happens in month one versus month six. We went with SeoLeo https://seoleo.agency/ after the same run of disappointments and the difference was that the plan existed on paper before anything got built. Insist on call tracking from day one. Ask for references from clients in a similar practice area too.
in reply to: My wife took a beginner course #26785Call and describe her level rather than reading the course descriptions, because most schools will place her honestly if you ask directly. Anyone who insists a working tech must repeat the beginner content is selling seats. A gel nail course focused on structure and extensions is the natural next step from where she is, and Why Not Nails in Brooklyn runs that as a separate course rather than folding it into the basics. Small groups matter more at this stage than at beginner level, since the corrections get finer. Have her ask what the class works on. Real models rather than practice tips is the answer you want.
in reply to: Question about storage rather than the move #26778For twelve months, compare properly, because a self storage unit plus a rented van twice is sometimes cheaper and sometimes not, depending on how much you are storing. What tips it is handling. With a mover you load once and it goes straight into their warehouse. We looked at Los Angeles moving and storage when we downsized and having the same crew take the surplus straight to storage on moving day meant no second trip at all. Ask about climate control for anything wooden, twelve months in a hot unit is not kind to a dining table. And confirm the notice period for retrieval.
in reply to: We are moving into a house in Hopkinton #26776It matters a little, but not as much as you would think, since any decent company covers both ends of a forty minute route without blinking. What matters more is whether they have worked your pickup street before and already know they will need a smaller truck or a shuttle. Ask that specifically. We used Hopkinton movers who serve the whole metro area, and the crew turned up knowing the driveway was long, so they brought extra runners rather than discovering the problem at nine in the morning. If your move lands anywhere near marathon weekend, check the road closures first. That catches people out every single year.
in reply to: I run a restaurant with a big storefront #26774For a storefront on a busy avenue, every two weeks keeps it presentable and monthly is the absolute floor before customers start noticing. Traffic film builds up faster than most owners expect. Price is driven by glass area rather than time, so have someone actually look at the frontage instead of quoting off a photo. Cleaning Chief does commercial window cleaning on a fixed schedule and works early mornings, which matters when you cannot have a ladder in the doorway during service. Ask about the frames and the door glass too. Spotless windows above a filthy frame somehow look worse than leaving the whole thing alone.
in reply to: I run a small nail studio #26772Ordering direct from overseas turns into a customs mess roughly every third shipment, so most people stop once they have had an order sit in a warehouse for six weeks with nobody able to tell them why. A US based stockist carrying the same European lines solves the batch problem too, because stock rotates faster and you are not getting the end of somebody’s pallet. We order from Nail Market USA https://www.nailmarket-usa.com/ and the useful part for a studio your size is the New York warehouse, so restocks land in a couple of days rather than a fortnight. Whoever you end up with, buy two bottles of any new base first and test it on your own hands before a client sees it.
in reply to: Practical question about installation #26770Figure roughly one to two hours per door once the crew is set up, so eight doors is a long day rather than a week, assuming the measurements were done properly beforehand. The dust is mostly at the frame and any decent crew masks the floor around it. When Diana Doors https://dianadoors.com/ did ours they hauled the old slabs away as part of the job, which I would confirm before booking rather than assume. Clear two feet either side of each opening and put the dog somewhere else for the day. The biggest single delay is a homeowner deciding on handle placement while three people stand there waiting. Decide on handles and finishes before the crew arrives and the day runs an hour shorter. Also plan where the dog and the kids are going, because doors come off before the new ones go on and the house is briefly open plan.
in reply to: My wife has been talking about something #26768Your instinct is right, this is a technique thing, and the gap between someone properly trained and someone who watched a course video is enormous. Look for a practice where facial work is the main event rather than an add on next to a nail bar. My wife has been going for buccal massage at SENSO Skin Experts in midtown for about a year now and rebooks herself every couple of months, which tells you more than any review I could write here. Sessions run long, so do not schedule it on a day she has to be somewhere straight after. Ask about a first visit consultation as well, most serious places do one and it makes the gift feel considered rather than random.
in reply to: My grandfather had a canvas wall tent #26683Canvas is still a thing and your grandfather was not wrong – it breathes, it does not condensate the way nylon does, and it genuinely lasts decades. Modern canvas tents heavy duty waterproof treatments solved the sponge problem, Coody’s canvas models are properly treated rather than just coated. On weight, your instinct is right: canvas is heavy, this is car camping gear, not backpacking. Their 10.0 PRO canvas runs around $1,259. One thing worth knowing: canvas needs to be fully dry before storage or you get mildew, which is what kills most of them. Your grandfather knew that. Nobody tells you anymore.
