No worries! Ask as many questions as you like!

It affects the value of the surrounding spaces.

Example: A strip mall has a grocery store. If the grocery is active on the property, the surrounding spaces are more valuable to rent. The landlord can rent the spaces to restaurants retail stores because the grocery store has a lot of foot traffic.

If the grocery store “goes dark” or stops operating at the strip mall, the neighboring Chipotles and Game Stops lose money and close. The landlord can’t fill those spaces as easily as when the grocery store was there.

If the spaces are empty, no rent comes in. No rent means no mortgage payments.

Edit: I forgot to add. Commercial mortgages are different than residential for lots of reasons but a big one is the dollar amount. Some of these properties are $100M loans so the trusts and banks involved have a lot more say as to what goes on at the property.

If you want to fix your sink, you do it. If they want to, they have to get permission to make changes.

I mean honestly, is there any part of the internet that women are actually “allowed in”?

I haven’t had too many specific Lemmy problems. It’s just the being a woman online that is bad.

As someone who has red hair:

sigh

Actually, I work in commercial real estate.

It’s not uncommon for there to be triggers on these loans that go into effect when a tenant vacates a property, even if they are still paying rent.

They direct control of their rents and they have to pay a monthly fee for management.

I can promise you, the only reason we returned to remote is luck. Our lease happened to be up at the same time our moral dropped.

Still, many of our employees cheered and celebrated the announcement. Take the wins where you can.

My company did a forced RTO. Moral dropped. In one category, it dropped to 14%. We couldn’t hire anyone and people were quitting. Our president kept saying “We will never return to WFH.”

Less than 6 months after he said that, we went fully remote. The whole RTO thing lasted about a year before they gave up.

This is interesting. I’ll try to see if I can get it to work! The opener is very old and currently opens with a doorbell. It doesn’t even have obstruction sensors.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to convert an old garage door opener from wired to wireless?

(Happy birthday Lemmy.zip! I’m happy to be here now. )

I hope it helps and you get some good rest. I’ll follow up once I meet with the neurologist and share what I learn.

Did you do a sleep study?

I haven’t done that yet. I’m fairly sure I don’t have sleep apnea, but maybe I’m wrong.

I bet you’d be like that if you didn’t take your ADHD meds anyway. People who say that don’t understand what it’s like.

This is good. Installing mods can be complicated for some. I love the idea of getting mods in the hands of more people.

Funny story that is semi related:

I missed Kendrick Lamar in the Super Bowl Halftime Show because my boyfriend called me to ask if I can teach him how to install “big titty mods” on The Witcher 3. Then, I spent most of the 2nd half looking up nsfw mods for games with him. 😆

Also, it frequently is associated with sleep disorders. Not just insomnia, as you’d think. Narcolepsy, Restless Leg Syndrome, Sleep Apnea, etc.

Seems like there is a strong correlation between those parts of the brain.

Actually, I have an appointment with a neurologist for my excessive sleepiness next week. If anyone wants to know about it, I’ll report back.

Dune and Expanse? You are my kind of people. This is a good name.

Yes. The best thing that could happen would be for no one to show up

Edit: fix typo

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

I didn’t think the trailer looked good and it felt meh, but I ended up loving the movie a lot.

You’ll have to have another to name Miller. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

I love these books so much. Anything set in this world has my attention, and very likely my money.

Is this real? Omg. I was a little disappointed with the SGF announcements so far, but this would be huge for me.
