Dissatisfaction is a good thing. It’s the fuel that pushes you to do something. Maybe it’s something big like switching careers or cutting ties with toxic relationships, but most often it’s small things like picking up a new hobby, volunteering, or taking a vacation.
Don’t dismiss dissatisfaction. Look into your life and see what you need to change.
I don’t think reshipping in itself is illegal. If you’re buying something illegal in the final country, sure, but there’s a lot of stores that only ship to some countries even though there’s no restrictions on the actual goods.
If it’s a big company then keep your ear to the ground, find out if there’s another team or department you’d like to work in, and talk about it with your manager. Be patient. Big companies have a lot of benefits and it might be worth waiting for a position to open up.
If you really want to work somewhere else then apply outside of work hours, don’t just quit. It’s easier to find a job when you already have one.
You didn’t state the problem and I don’t know German, so I’m guessing you’re solving for the time of two trains?
It helps if you organize every problem into 3 steps: 1) what is the given info from the problem? 2) what core equations are we using? 3) how do we use #1 and #2 to solve the problem?
Your notes show these steps but if you can organize it well enough that it’s easy to understand just by looking at the blackboard, that will make everything smoother. Write the given info as bullet points. You’re using S=VT as the core equation, so underline it and write out what each letter stands for. From there, write each step vertically.
I wondered about this but I figured recruiters would assume Google voice numbers were spam/sketchy applicants.
How do you apply to new jobs without giving out your number?
My father’s a narcissist and my family waves it away. I’m fine with LC, he’s not, so I guess sooner or later it’ll turn into NC. It’s frustrating. He wants a relationship and says he’s willing to try, but he’s incapable of accepting any reality where he’s done something wrong or hurt someone. I’ve spent years trying to think of the magic words that would fix things but there’s no way around it.
As a person it’s made me more conscious of people’s limits. There’s a will on both sides for us, but we’re each limited in our own ways. I can’t be as tolerant as the rest of my family and he won’t be able to make progress without therapy that he doesn’t even realize he needs.
Hey I can answer that 100% truthfully. I don’t know :)
All this being said, I’m not sure Lemmy is new-user friendly enough to expand quickly right now. I want my technology illiterate grandma to be able to sign up and use it without help. It’s been amazing to join and be a part of this community. Like a lot of others I came here after Reddit API changes and I’ve loved seeing Lemmy grow.
America. Ideally you have insurance through work. Going to your PCP may be ~$50, same for specialists. Urgent care and ER will be higher, then there will be additional bills depending on what needs to be done and your insurance. Then there’s “in-network” and “out-of-network”. In-network will be covered more by insurance than out-of-network. It’s tricky for hospital stays. In my area there are doctors who are out-of-network working at in-network hospitals. So you will get 2 separate bills - one from the hospital and one from the doctor.
Honestly it’s terrifying having an emergency because you really don’t know how much it could cost. Most insurance plans have a max out of pocket. One number for the individual, one for the family. The lowest I’ve seen is $2k/$6k while the highest was ~$16k/30k. I’m in a LCOL city though. Max or of pocket is the maximum you should ever have to pay for a single year. You will almost definitely hit this if you have a baby or need more than a couple days in a hospital.
For people with low income there are sometimes assistance programs at hospitals. One common outcome is you go into a payment plan and maybe years later your remaining debt is forgiven. The payment plans can be very cheap. I’ve heard of $25/mo. Still it’s probably for a bill that’s in the thousands if not 5 or 6 digits.
If you don’t have insurance through work you can buy your own insurance but many people just wing it. Most hospitals will charge less when there is no insurance to bill. Maybe 1/3 what they would charge insurance. This will still be in the 4-6 digit range. So you go into a payment plan, or maybe there’s additional financial assistance from the hospital, or you just ignore the bill and take the credit hit when it goes to collections.
There are programs through the government, Medicare and Medicaid. They cover quite a lot but if you’re under 65 then I believe you have to be disabled to qualify.
The quality of care is generally high though, so that’s cool.
Do you mind ELI5 what exercising valves means? Is it just opening and closing?
“I won’t be available that day but I will make a donation to XYZ Org that helped my aunt when she had breast cancer.”
Don’t try to educate how Susan G Komen is awful, that’s tricky to keep professional and might be a losing battle. Instead educate about awesome charities that do good work. If you’re asked to donate to both, then really lean into how much your aunt loves this other charity over G Komen.
You can also kill them with kindness by thanking them for the reminder if they still don’t leave. Extra points if they’re super aggressive, ask if the company will match your donation :)
This explains why I didn’t get it. I thought Community was ok but never understood why it was so popular. To be honest, I didn’t think it was funny. Guess I just don’t get pop culture references. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s been a long time since I’ve looked into their stuff, so this might be dated advice, but there’s also sex educators like Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Dan Savage.
Maybe not 100% what you’re looking for, but Pornhub has sex ed videos and a sex wellness center. For fetishplay, you probably need to ask the communities for resources.
To add to this, you might be able to find a store that analyses gait. Usually it’s on treadmills or a machine you stand on.
My final advice is inserts. You might find your most comfortable boot is actually a boot + insert. Orthopedic stores can make custom inserts, too.
My family makes chicken broth from scratch. The recipe is boiling a whole chicken with veggies in a large pot for forever. Strain before eating.
I remember as a young child I was sick with something and couldn’t seem to throw up whatever was making me ill. My mother made the broth, then gave me a bowl… unstrained. The sight of bones, gristle, and fat lumps was too much for me and I immediately threw up (and felt a lot better!). For decades I felt guilty about this until finally my mom told me it was intentional. Still laugh thinking about it. I love my mom and the broth, but I eat it strained now.
Same. Then covid got me. Was sick for a week but had the worst shortness of breath that finally got better after a year of inhalers.
On the other hand, my friends felt like it was just a bad cold. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not a huge crust fan either so I eat until I have about an inch of pizza then I double it over like a sandwich. I also sometimes save the crusts until they get stale and eat them as dipping sticks with a sauce.
Braces on adults are common enough that most people don’t care. There are options like Invisalign, ceramic or clear braces, and lingual braces (brackets behind the teeth) that you can ask about. If you work somewhere with a strict dress code you might want to stick to clear and white colored rubber bands, too. Though outside of that, people still won’t care and colored rubber bands are cute.
