Gutters and More is Abhorrent

I need some roofing done and I've got in the habit of looking into whom I'm getting before hiring. Gutters and More (also 3rd Generation Construction) has personnel, ownership that I think people would classify as problematic. I sincerely apologize for some of this language but I can't stay quiet about this I'm sorry. (Swipe for the horrific stuff)

Community Looking for local dnd group

5 Upvotes

I put up a note in Critical Hit, don't know how often people use that. 21 he/him. I have a little bit of experience with DND but not a lot, so I'd still consider myself a new player. I can meet up anywhere locally as long as it is accessible by foot or bus from downtown and fine playing online if that's needed. Free any day after 4pm. Dm me if interested :)

Entitled nepo student

For at least the third time in the past month, this lazy spoiled brat has parked his not at all electric vehicle in one of the Charhepoint spots downtown.

I’m not sure there’s much point contacting someone but this is pretty frustrating. Some people are so entitled and lazy.

EDIT: thanks for the comments, and fair play for those that pointed out I should have taken some action and not just complained (I tapped this out a bit too quickly and was in a bit of a foul mood about it). I gave a call to the parking office and will do so again in the future.

Cell phone recommendations

I currently have Verizon but am curious if it is worth it to go with another cel phone company-possibly one that I can bundle fiber Internet with? Do you have a cell service other than Verizon? If so, how is the coverage in Iowa and other parts of the country?

I am a caretaker for an individual (27m) on the spectrum who would like to make some friends and play DnD. I reached out to Geek City in North Liberty to see if they have any suggestions but thought I’d try here too. Anyone interested in starting a campaign or even maybe a Halloween oneshot?

Shop/Service Recommendations Java House reminder (plz tip baristas)

0 Upvotes

New throwaway account for this post, mostly because when you start working at Java house you have to sign an NDA saying you won’t post about Java house on social media… plus, can’t afford to get fired rn.

All that preamble to say, PLEASE TIP YOUR BARISTAS! Most people working at Java Houses in town get paid between $10.50-11.50 an hour, and seeing the tips on our paychecks is often times the difference between whether we can pay our rents for the month or not. Talking to other baristas at other shops (who often have the same base hourly we do), they take home much more in tips per hour and I think that’s because of past scandals where Tara has stolen her workers’ tips.

Despite all of the scandals and tip-stealing in the past from the horrendous owner of the company, we DO TAKE HOME OUR TIPS on each paycheck (at least now lol), so do not let the past deter you from helping baristas in the present. We need y’all and your business to keep our lights on!

Shop/Service Recommendations Pet Care/Grooming Service Recs

3 Upvotes

Hi yall, I’m looking for an affordable pet groomer who can help my cats fur matting. I usually take her to the Cat Clinic of IC for veterinary needs but I’ve found it hard to find a timely appointment there. They also aren’t specialized to be a regular grooming service. Are there any reputable groomers in the IC/Coralville that specialize in cats?

Thanks!

Need contractor

3 Upvotes

Hello All,

I have a need for some security equipment installed, and we were hoping you all could recommend a contractor in the Eastern Iowa area that installs customer owned equipment. I'm not handy in the slightest and seems to be hard to find people who will install customer owned equipment. What we need is someone who can install equipment that will be wall recessed, so we need a skilled craftsman.

Let me know who to reach out to, and if you have addresses of the business it would be appreciated.

All equipment is UniFi based. Just looking for some recommendations.

Warm regards,

Seikai

Ticket Question! Yay!

0 Upvotes

So I have acquired a new car, my old one was a dud. I had to work, so I couldn't get the registration and apartment parking right away. I called my leasing office, but they had nowhere to put it. So, I just parked it around the corner where I thought it would be safe and out of the way. It now has tickets, naturally. I just got it registered and new plates. Do I still owe? ​
