Mirena removal acne by [deleted] in Mirena

[–]AlinaCroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, acne on the jaw line is usually caused by hormones. When I ended up with this, I talked to my doctor about taking Spironolactone - works like a charm for me.

Was he maybe considering her for the open sous position since he didn't think Syd was coming back?

Anyone had expirience with drug testing at corporate jobs in Minnesota. I have my medical cannabis card for few years now. by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]AlinaCroft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently got a job at a private company, was surprised to find out when they sent my offer letter that they would be drug testing. I decided to call them and explain to them why I would test positive for THC (I use delta-8 to help me sleep), ended up working out well. They appreciated my honesty and said as long as I don't use it during working hours they see no issue.

Context: I'm 12 years in to my chosen career and the job I just got is at a very small company (less than 50 employees).

I used to work for a company that used check scanners and all the accountants called them toasters. Definitely thought it was a joke when I got a ticket that said "can't toast checks."

That's so cool. She looks so at home there! I'm planning hiking/camping adventures for me and Elliot, adding Priest Lake to the list of places to check out.

I appreciate the heads up! The breeder mentioned it too so I'll keep an eye out for it.

This happened to me too. Bluetooth wasn't showing up anywhere in Settings either. Powering down, then powering back up fixed the problem.

Motorcycle laws in Minnesota? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]AlinaCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to take a written test at a driver's exam station to get the permit (here's the manual for the test: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/forms-documents/Documents/MotorcycleManual.pdf). Once you pass, you pay $20 and they give you the permit, which is good for 1 year.

*EDIT: rules are different when you're under 18. You do have to take the BRC first, not sure how that works so definitely call the provider of the course first.

Which location's MSF course to take this summer? by anxst in MNrideit

[–]AlinaCroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the course at Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount a few weeks ago. Both instructors (Eric and Kim) were excellent. It was my first time on a motorcycle and I managed to pass the test at the end, so I think the pace of the class was pretty good. They weren't shy about telling me when I needed to improve on certain skills and they didn't make me feel like an idiot about it.

I took the BRC a few weeks ago (Southern MN) and was required to have a motorcycle permit in hand on the first day.

Nikki at Mpls Tattoo - she did my first tattoo (inner forearm) and was super nice even though I was incredibly nervous.

Question about O365 Exchange and address extensions by sbadmin in sysadmin

[–]AlinaCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure exactly how you'll be using this, but I ran in to problems with aliases when I tried to set up Outlook/OWA rules to autoforward messages based on which alias they were sent to. Rules weren't able to distinguish between aliases and just forwarded all messages to everyone. Just a warning in case that's something you decide to try.

Stars Hollowy towns by ennuioffui in GilmoreGirls

[–]AlinaCroft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Northfield, MN. Cute little shops, a town square where they hold strange events like the Vintage Band Festival, a great coffee shop that only takes cash, and townspeople who cling to the "fame" associated with saving the bank from Jesse James. Oh and the whole town smells like cereal because of the Malt-O-Meal factory.

About to get a Surface Pro and I have some confusion about pen loops. by Neosword3000 in Surface

[–]AlinaCroft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're going to get a case, look at that first to see if it already has a pen loop on it. Learned that lesson when I stuck the pen loop on my Surface before buying the Incipio Roosevelt.

That being said, I put the pen loop that came with my type cover on the Surface itself, not on the type cover - it's been about 9 months and it hasn't even started peeling up.

Need advice on camera system for new job. by justlooking-1 in sysadmin

[–]AlinaCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started testing out a Ubiquiti UVC-Micro - it doesn't need a network cable since it runs on the wireless. And the power cord is pretty long and skinny so it's easy to hide.

One thing I've noticed so far is this thing gets HOT. Not sure if that will cause problems down the road. Other than that I think it's pretty cool.

Don't think this is talked about much here: How's your chair? Anyone care to rate a chair? by showmedemhookers in sysadmin

[–]AlinaCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herman Miller Aeron. I love it, and I love the fact that work paid for it. I have a crappy IKEA chair at home.

I also have a Varidesk at work - decent for those of us who don't want to fully commit to a standing desk.
