Looking for advice with this situation. Renting a house in Maricopa County in Tempe, Arizona. Had a small backup in the kitchen sink so landlord sent a plumber out. While they were using a pipe camera, they discovered that underneath the house the cast iron pipes are cracked and leaking in multiple areas.
So the problem is the cast iron pipes leaking under the house. Landlord sent a handful of plumbers out and was given 2 options: 1. Put some sort of lining through the existing pipes for $20k and 2 year warranty. 2. Jackhammer through the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room floors, rip out the pipes, completely replace them, then have to repair the floors, cabinets, any wall(s) etc. also for around $20k but with a 10 year warranty.
Landlord's homeowner's insurance had an exclusion for pipes underneath the concrete slab, so unfortunately he's paying out of pocket and obviously price is way more important to him than convenience for us.
We submitted a claim with our renter's insurance, they said there is no claim due to no personal property damage. But we're trying to clarify that it's not personal property damage but instead "loss of use" of the rental house. No idea if this will make a difference.
As of right now this is what the landlord wants to do: go with the option with a better warranty, meaning like half of the house will be totaled, kitchen/bathrooms/bedrooms/laundry unusable so we won't be able to live there. Also the pipes under the backyard will have to be ripped out. Estimated time on the plumbing contract is 6 weeks (but who knows how long it would actually take). Landlord said the existing tile throughout the house isn't sold anymore, so he is planning to have all floors in the entire house replaced (2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining, living). He said the plumbers/restorers want all the floors cleared of any furniture or stuff so it's easier for them to get the work done. Landlord suggested we put our furniture out in the backyard (there's a small area of a patio with a little roof). He said he won't charge us rent while the repairs are being done.
Okay so first of all, it seems difficult to find a temporary place to live *we have 4 cats* for 6 weeks (assuming it could take longer since these things usually do). From what I've seen so far, the options don't allow 4 cats and are like twice as expensive as our monthly rent. I do not think it's reasonable whatsoever to put all our furniture in the backyard even if some is covered. There are scorpions, black widows, and feral cats out there that spray the flower pots and stuff. I also don't think it's reasonable that we would personally have to move our furniture out. We don't have the time (both working like 60 hrs a week and no time off any time soon) or expertise not to damage furniture trying to drag it out there. Another thing I don't think is reasonable is to have all the floors in the entire house replaced while we are tenants even if some of it is totally fine, that takes extra time as well as all the effort of moving everything out of the rooms and closets.
Are the following reasonable to ask for?

1. Landlord to only fix the floors and rooms damaged by construction, can buy enough tile for the other rooms but wait until we move out to finish the other rooms floors (the only thing is IDK how they would leave the tile edges in the meantime). That way we could stuff more furniture into the 2 bedrooms that aren't expected to be affected by the repairs. My dad made a point though that if they are essentially bringing sewage soaked dirt up into the house to get to the pipes then it could make all the furniture smell - not sure if this is what would happen.
2. Landlord to pay for a POD out front and for professional movers to move our furniture out (I would already have to spend a huge amount of time carefully packaging up my collections of breakable random stuff in cabinets and shelves) and packing everything we could possibly need for up to 2 months of living elsewhere.
3. Landlord to contribute to the temporary housing since it will be way more expensive (assuming we can even find a place that allows 4 cats??) than our monthly rent. Hopefully we would find something like an AirBNB that is furnished. I can't imagine a hotel would accept 4 cats and we would need a kitchen so we wouldn't have to pay extra for meals.

I know it sounds ridiculous to have to go through all this nonsense, we thought about just moving. But our current rent amount is significantly cheaper than other similar houses in the area. We are planning to live here for at least another year, so in the long term like $500-1,000 extra per month plus moving expenses and time needed to move to another house would be pretty significant so we want to try to make this work. We also really love this house and have 2 feral cats that have lived in our yard for 3+ years so we don't want to ditch them lol.
Any ideas or knowledge of Arizona renter's rights would be much appreciated!!

This did not happen recently but a few months back.
I was looking for a job (double digit years in experience) and a HR from Nagarro reached out on LinkedIn. I sent her my details, did a proctored online test and was selected for a 2nd round face to face. Since the interviewer was in US, the slot I had was Sunday at 9:45 PM IST [I was given a choice of slots but they were either 7 in the morning or 9-10 in the night, only weekends].
I joined the Teams meeting at 9:40 PM on a Sunday, turned on my camera, and waited 5 minutes for the interviewer. As soon as it became 9:45, I heard the Teams chime that I was let in, but before the sound ended, a voice started speaking. "Alright, so what things you take care?"
I looked up to see this Indian guy wearing a red hat (not THAT red hat) indoors, looking at me. I said, "Sorry, what?" And he said exasperatedly, "Your work. What. Is. It. that. You. Do." in clipped tones, as if I was not a mentally sound person.
My hand automatically moved my mouse over to the disconnect button and I almost clicked but stopped myself at the last moment. I decided to see how the interview went. I had not given an interview in a long time and wanted to get an experience.
I composed myself and started to explain my resume. In the middle of it, he stopped me and said, "Are you using dual screens?" I said yes. He scolded me for using dual screens for an interview and made me turn one off. I was on camera the whole time and it was a face to face interview so not really sure what the concern was but I still did it. The funny part was, during the interview I could hear pings from his side and see him turn to his own second screen to reply to some chat/IM messages. Anyways, I asked, "should I continue explaining my resume" and he said, "no that's alright."
"Tell me about any recent deliverable you have worked on", he asked next. I had recently worked on implementing a customized DR system so I started to explain how it was implemented and the architectural changes done. He was distracted the whole time, replying to some ping, constantly muting and unmuting his audio and saying, "That's fine. Keep going." I completed my explanation and waited. He realized I had stopped talking and said, "All that is good but I do not see the architecture change you have done." I summarized the server re-organization, the load balancers, the customized back-up and archival, even some code level changes we had to do, but he said, "I still do not see the architecture design change." I said, "I can draw an architecture diagram to show it clearly", and he said, "no that's alright. Let's move on."
I come from a .NET background, so he asked me, "do you have experience with .NET core?" I said, I did. And this is where the most weird part of the interview starts. He spent 20 minutes on a single question and you will see why, in a minute.
He asked me, "Do you know the three types of dependency injection?" I answered the three - singleton, scoped and transient.
He said, "good, now tell me how do you decide which one to use." This is a standard interview question, I gave the standard answer. It was not good enough.
He did a "tch" sound of exasperation. "All that is good, but how do you decide?" I explained again, adding more details.
He did that "tch" sound again. "All that is good, but how do YOU decide?", stressing on the word "YOU". I explained again, this time with examples of when I would make which choice and why.
He did that "tch" sound again. "All that is good, but those are textbook examples. Tell me about an example that you have implemented in your system"
I explained how we had used a singleton for application level settings. He did that "tch" sound again. "All that is good, but what made you decide that the application settings need to be in singleton?"
I was confused at this point. What was he looking for! "The settings need to be the same throughout the application and so a singleton is a logical choice", I said.
He shook his head, this time not making the "tch" sound. "No, you are not getting it. I want to understand what made you decide to make the application settings class a singleton? Was it because of the name of the class or because somebody told you or because you got a feeling?"
I was angry at this point, so I repeated the same answer as before. He said, "Maybe I am making it complex. Why don't I give you an example and you can explain your choice." I said OK.
"Alright, so suppose that I created a class called "" and asked you how should I use it. What will you say?"
I stared at him for a moment, wondering if this was real. I asked him what was the functionality of the class, and he launched into the most unnecessarily complex (and to me, wildly unrelated) functionality regarding uploading documents from an API to an azure storage account involving Virtual Networks, Key Vault, different Blob types and an Azure SQL database to store blob metadata. I asked him, how the class is supposed to be used. He said, "I don't know. I am the author of the class. I have given it to other people to use. Ask me questions you would ask the author of the class."
My mind was hurting at this point so I repeated, in the most bored voice, the very first standard answer I had given. He must have realized my disinterest, for he said, "Alright, I get it. Let's move on. Do you have experience writing SQL?"
I said Yes. So he asked me to share my screen and gave me a written scenario for which to write a query.
While I was working on the query, he said, "I have your resume so let's take a look at that." He opened the resume, I could see that he actually did open it then, by the screen brightness reflected on his face change. And as I worked on the query, he kept going through my resume and making what I can only describe as "Passive-Aggressive comments" in a low voice in the background. E.g. "worked at So-and-so (one of the Big 4 companies)... In ", "worked with XYZ technology... for ", "SME for ABC technologies... for DEF use case"
I was done at this point so I drafted out a query with as low effort as I could and then explained it quickly. It was wrong for sure, and not fulfilling the use case completely but I had stopped caring. He also realized it because he said, "Alright, I think that is it. Do you have any questions for me?", in a very smug voice.
I said, "No, thanks for the experience", and disconnected the call.
So, that was it. The most WTF interview of my life. So far. I am not really sure what was wrong with that dude or maybe I have been out of touch for a long time and this is how it is now, but damn, man. I sat in shock for a few minutes after the call. I did check out the interviewer's profile on LinkedIn, wondering if we had crossed paths before. But he was been with his company for a long, long time, first company since college and never switched. So I don't really know.
Anyways, so, yeah. Hope you are having a better experience than me.

About 6 months ago I upgraded from a 3 gal central pneumatic compressor to an 80 gal dual stage. I picked it up on a clearance sale for 50% off.
I have been running off a steam high pressure hose into a 3/4 inch high flow regulator then Adapted into a Milton type v 1/4 quick connect and a 3/8 in hose. It’s all overkill but my 1/2 impact is supper happy and I can fill a tire like it’s nobody’s business. The absolute best part is the air wand is now useable. No more waiting for the compressor to catch up.
I am working on plumbing my 25x25 garage with an eventual line into my 12x12 workshop and eventually a 100 foot underground line out to the garden shed.
Here is my question: when I drop my airlines, what angle should the quick connections be? Should they be straight up, 90 deg, 45 deg down, or straight down?
I know that short term that doesn’t mater but Milton type V disconnects aren’t cheap and I have to order them online so I want to set this up in ideal conditions.

Burner account for obvious reasons.
My mom and I (15M) have had a pretty "normal" relationship, sure theres been hiccups here and there but these past three days have been horrible. It started with my mom coming home one night and noticed that there was a pot on the stove. She asked me to clean it up and I stated "Since you cooked with it how come you didn't clean it" (In retrospect, this probably wasn't the best thing to say in the moment). Dishes are something she would often remind me about, having ADHD I've always struggled with forming habits or just forgetting tasks at hand, this issue has been improving for me recently and my mom had stated that she had taken notice before, in our family, its usually "your dish your responsibility". But anyways, that seemed to make her start screaming and yelling in ways I have never seen her act before, usually it may be some yelling back and forth but she started throwing things around the kitchen while threatening to take my life, and take her own life unless I got out of the house so fearing for my own safety I went outside for a few hours wondering what the fuck just happened. So I texted her and asked if I could go back inside, got the reply of "do whatever you want" so I went back inside as I had schoolwork I needed to get done. Nothing happened the rest of the night. The next day I tried to de-escalate the situation, trying to ask my mom how she felt, and if there was anything I could do to help her out but that was like talking to a brick wall. That night was uneventful. Today (Sunday) I woke up a bit late, ate breakfast, etc. My mom decided to go out and told me, she told me I should mow the lawn today since it's not going to rain (for context, I texted her yesterday if it was alright to mow the lawn but it rained by the time I had the opportunity to). Around an hour ago I decided to go ahead and make myself some ramen for lunch since I didn't want to deal with a mess and make her angry again. Around the time I finished eating she came back home, I said hello to her and asked her how she was doing. The first thing I heard back from her was "Why is there dishes on the counter" which is when I realized I left a single plate out from making ramen which I intended to put in the sink anyways. I had put a dish in the sink earlier since I assumed the dishwasher was full since the magnet was on the "full" side along with my moms dishes. I tried to explain this to her calmly, letting her know that I'm going to clean everything up and she just goes off, shes screaming, yelling, tells me that I "ask for too much" and starts screaming at me about events that have happened YEARS ago, she starts getting up in my face, yelling about all the things I've asked for, she complains about needing to leave work and go to school for my 504 plan, paying for wrestling, and getting me a car which shes all done for me on her own accord, I rarely ask for anything from her, I mean, I don't even ask for money. I've tried having discussions with her about cars since dual enrollment next year requires for students to have their own mode of transportation and I have a very late birthday right before school starts but she just shuts me down which I never understood. She then starts screaming about how I haven't mowed the lawn yet even though I have all day and she then tells me its going to rain although she told me earlier it wasnt and kept on denying it. But the tipping point is when she picked up a knife and started pointing and "jabbing" it at me after she picked up a dish and shattered it on the floor. At this point I have no idea what the fuck got into her so for my own safety I started recording which she didn't appreciate, she put the knife down and started walking towards me telling me "get out now or i'll kill you" and "stop recording or ill get your dad to pick you up". For context, my parents are divorced and my dad has done some disgusting things I would rather not talk about, I haven't been in contact with him for months. I went up to my room, locked my doors, she started banging on my door telling me to get out but fearing for my life I decided to stay put, she eventually went away and this is where I am now. I'm honestly so lost and have no idea what I should do. Sure, I'm not a perfect kid but this was just so out of character for her and I'm so confused as to what made her act out like this.

It’s been a great week. The build has been going well and also has a name…….AquaTeak. Aqua, as many refer to glass dual chamber cases as fish tanks, and also with this being a water-cooled build. And Teak, in relation to the wood panel I decided to use for this build. I wasn’t sure at first and was torn between the Obsidian panels and the Teak, but after installing them I think it looks great. Will look good once the build is complete and it get moved to its permanent home in my office.
Another decision I had to make was between the glass front or the airflow front. I wanted to go for the airflow front as the extra wood panel down the left makes it look even better, with the added benefit of being able to install additional intake fans. However, after test fitting everything the decision was more or less made for me, so I had to go for the glass front.
As you can see from the pictures, this will be a dual loop. I’ve always wanted to do a dual loop, and am yet to see one in the Corsair 6500x. I was hoping there was enough space to fit the 2 pumps and was relieved to see it is possible….just, however as mentioned before, to the sacrifice of the airflow front. I’m glad I went for the 4080 Super FE as the block is a lot smaller than the other option. I also have an Asus TUF 4080 Super, but the block would not be able to fit with the 2 pumps. I wanted to use 2 XD5 Elite LCD’s but iCUE does not currently support 2 of the same products with LCD’s. I’m not sure if I will keep the mismatched pumps, or swap the LCD for a non-LCD.
For this build I am using 3 x 360 XR5 radiators, with the top and bottom radiators for the GPU and the side for the CPU. I have a spare 120mm radiator which I installed at the rear and made apart of the GPU loop, but have since decided to remove it and install a 140mm fan there instead as intake. All radiator fans will be changed to exhaust, I just didn’t install them that way to begin with. As I had 3 spare QX fans that I could not fit at the front, I decided to install them on the side CPU radiator in push/push. In hindsight I perhaps would have gone for a thicker rad instead on the side and possible at the bottom too, but when planning for parts I wasn’t sure how much space I would have to fit the dual pumps.
Speaking of space, the 6500x has plenty of it. Having very recently built in the O11 Evo RGB I can confidently say that I have so far found the 6500x easier to build in. The 6500x is physically bigger so it makes sense, but I think that some of the design decisions like lack of radiatofan brackets on the top and bottom, which some reviewers have mention as negatives, is actually a positive for custom loops. When building I loosely screw in the top and bottom rads and then can adjust them when planning the runs once the other components are in. I wasn’t able to do that easily in the Evo RGB but was in the 6500x.
I’m still waiting for the GPU block to arrive, so in the meantime I started work on the CPU loop. The loop is “finished” and I was able to fill it up and test. I placed finished in inverted commas, as I may still make changes, but for now, as it stands, I’m fairly happy with it.
Hopefully I have my measurements correct and the GPU will fit, if not then its back to the drawing board.
This was my first experience of iCUE Link, or any type of connectable fan system, and what a difference it has made. Not just to cable management, but also the convenience of when I drained the CPU loop and was able to remove the tubes, unscrew the side bracket, disconnect the single Link cable for the 6 fans, and take the radiator out to drain in the sink without a mass of cables getting in the way. I’m used to using multiple Commander Pro’s and 10+ fans, so it’s a refreshing change. One annoying thing I did experience with Link was the placement of the link connectors on the fans means its next to impossible to get to the connectors on both sides. For this reason, I had to run a separate cable to the read fan instead of chaining it to the top fans.
Also, I was unable to use the official 6500 vertical GPU mount, as there is not enough space to install it once a radiator and fans are installed. I’m looking at 3rd party mounts that might solve that issue.

I used to blame it on some problem with the dishwasher when every once in a while my dishes smelled fishy. But we haven’t used the dishwasher in months, and for the last week or so, the fishy smell has returned.
I notice this on the dishes after they have dried, but I also think I noticed it in the bathroom sink with running water in recent days, so I don’t think it’s related to my kitchen plumbing.

I am looking for creative solutions to clear, chemically, mechanically, or otherwise, the 1/2" pex lines (up to 400lf) installed in a concrete garage slab. This is part of a dual-zone closed-loop glycol-based under floor heating system. Typical plumbing solutions to blockages involve mechanical solutions,such as plumbing snakes, which are designed for a minimum size of about 1-1/4in, or chemical(such as products like Drano or acids such as vinegar, or stronger chemicals). Since there is no flow, it would be difficult to apply any chemical directly to the blockage. Solutions that involve the concrete slab damage or destruction are not favoured.. Perhaps there is someone out there who has a solution...

To put it short .
My gfi on the outside trips sometimes (like 3 times a year) and causes my toilets to gurgle when flushed , shower tub gurgle , sink gurgle . Still flushes but seems to have low water pressure There’s two cords going into the outside outlet where it trips . I take one cord out , and I reset the outlet and the green light on the outlet resets and stays on (good) , I put in the other cord (for the plumbing I assume) and it immediately trips and the green light on the outlet goes away . It’s only when I plug in that ONE cord . Is it bc moisture ? (It rained a lot in the passed three days) , is it a faulty outlet ? (Too much current ?) , any advice will help , thanks
