I had thought our cleaners would let us know stuff was disappearing. Looking at what other hosts say on Airbnb it seems there’s little recourse as you have to prove things are missing. How do you prove a missing towel!
Going to do the checks myself now but it will add 30mins extra labour per booking.
Wish I knew how unprofitable Airbnb’s were before I got into it 😂

The spares are locked up. The stuff that’s going missing is what the guests get. I hadn’t thought to count everything after each guest, I knew some would get stolen but not to this extent!

2024-08-22 16:26:27

I’ve been running an Airbnb for 2yrs now. We bought 3 sets of laundry (sheets/towels etc) so there was always a spare set in case of accidents etc.
The spare set is now entirely missing and we have less than 2 sets worth of hand towels left.
Anybody know if this is normal or how to stop it if (as I suspect) scumbags are stealing stuff?

What is it with Airbnb guests putting the heating up to 22C at the end of June. Wtf?!

2024-05-27 17:39:24

This UK General Election is shaping up to be a hilarious clown show, one side wants National Service for the young and the other side wants to spend more than UK GDP nationalising energy companies.
I'm going to tell people I'll be voting Bitcoin on polling day by stacking sats. This small action will do more to change the world than voting for a Fiat politician.

The garden needed some water after this dry spell!

Missed the northern lights last night. My airbnb guests were sitting on the balcony all night so I closed the curtains

Awesome! That’s pretty steep! I need a board to get strong again, I’m over an hour from the nearest gym. Lots of real rock closer but it rains a lot in Wales!

I kinda want to build a moon board in my garage but it’s so expensive to get the hold sets and electronics 😭
Also don’t have the headroom for the full size one

2024-05-11 15:36:46

The maiden whip apple trees are doing nicely in the mini orchard. The sheep got in and munched one of them but not too badly.
They’re all Welsh varieties of eaters and cider apples so in a few years I’ll have some cider.
Gardening is a very low time preference activity!

Levelled yo my chainsaw mill game with a guide rail. Still a 5-10mm discrepancy but much better than using a warped scaffold board.
Now I’ve just got to purchase a thicknesser to true it up.

Hello! We are a rare breed, especially here in the sticks of Snowdonia!

Finally a dry day to do some gardening here in sunny North Wales.
1.5 acres mowed and levelling and seeding of old box hedge beds (still more to remove!)
Might need another bay for compost, that much lawn makes a lot of clippings!
Now onto some chainsaw milling if the rain holds off

Interestingly they aren't reducing the amount of energy they use per person though. And they are increasing fossil fuel usage even with the renewables when you look at the data.
The UK however is reducing energy per person, still with high reliance on fossil fuel. No wonder our energy bills are sky high here.

We can agree on more energy = good! The problem with the mainstream climate hysterics is their solutions involve coercion and violation of basic rights rather than voluntary cooperation. And over the past decade or more they have made everyone's lives worse and more expensive!
Lots of new cantillionaires in the green washing industry though!

I'd consider myself an environmentalist, anti-pollution etc but when it comes to humanity shooting itself in the foot to attempt to reduce CO2 emissions I'm incredibly dubious.

2024-04-13 15:57:44

They may be separate issues but they are similar in the "proof" being modelling - models that haven't shown they can predict the future. See also, Bitcoin price modelling.
It's sad so many have been convinced we are doomed based on very shaky data.

2024-04-13 15:35:41

- reply

Therein lies the problem - you could very easily send me off to do a simple experiment to prove the earth is round. To convince me humanity is in mortal peril due to human induced climate change requires modelling, dubious data sources and browbeating.
I think if there is human induced climate change, what states around the world are doing to attempt to combat it is worse than useless - exactly like the Covid response.

2024-04-13 15:21:16

Much of the Covid hysteria was based on modelled predictions. There is lots of data on Covid but it doesn’t stop most people continuing to believe shutting down the world was worth it and the virtuous thing to do.
If you could show me climate modeling that has accurately predicted temperatures over many years without sly adjustments of said model I might be more convinced. Al Gore promised us an ice free arctic by now and it hasn’t happened!

2024-04-13 15:05:00

- reply

Ah, so not as easy to disprove as flat earthism then!
How do these models hold up? Have they predicted temperatures correctly in the century of research?
People are understandably sceptical of models used to enforce big changes on their lives after the Great Covid Debacle.

Science isn’t a consensus sport, check the history of science. There are simple experiments anyone can do to prove the earth is a globe, are there any simple experiments anyone can do to verify humanity is in peril due to climate change?

It just needs a clear view of the sky, no trees is better. I used starlink for over a yr before I got fibre in the area, weather didn't really affect it - and there's a lot bad weather where I live! Only issue is slightly higher ping than hardline and the occassional 1-2s lag spike when switching satellites every half hr or so

2024-04-13 13:47:36

The big lie is that COVID is/was disproportionately dangerous - it's the foundation for all other lies on the subject. It was reinforced by the large spike in deaths following panicked interventions by govts and healthcare profs - democide and iatrogenesis.
Narratives are like a blockchain, stories are built on top of each other and the deeper they go the harder they are to change.

Fallout!

I paid for my contact lenses with lightning. Was a nice surprise to find the site I usually order from accepted BTC!
It’s so much easier than fiat payments, no billing address, long number, expiry, approve in your banking app etc etc.

2024-04-11 18:23:41

Watched Fallout episode 1. So far it’s excellent. Art style, humour and music matches the game.

Sampling another brew tonight, a clone of Beavertown’s Neck Oil. I’ve brewed this one a few times now, it’s a banger!
