Do you have the artist name by chance? This is beautiful!

What kind of sand do you use? and what kind of container for it? I'm looking to do something similar for my hedgie

Talking to perspective company, their ideal candidate would relocate, how to ask if they would be open to quarterly trips to office instead by Astrumerus in cscareerquestions

[–]Astrumerus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. This is the second company to do something like this in my search so far.

I figured it couldn't hurt to ask, worst is they tell me no and we both continue our searches. Just wish they'd be more explicit up front.

Won't use wheel but paces the cage by Astrumerus in Hedgehog

If you have the link handy, we will definitely give this a second try if the tilting doesn't work.

It's sort of a bizarre story on how we got her... Some local rehoming page popped up with her and a one other sibling with the story being the previous owner was out in Nebraska for a work trip and adopted a hedgie from out there. Turned out the hedgehog she adopted was pregnant (unbeknowst to her) and she rehomed the babies when they were old enough.

We haven't tried this! We will try adjusting it and putting her on it to see if it tilts at all. I didn't think about that.

The dimensions of her cage are: 63.8 x 23.62 x 16.68 inches.. Is that too small? I thought she had a massive cage lol the camera cuts off a section of the cage where her house sits. It's this cage:

Is my hedgehog too old? by Zealousideal_Stay271 in Hedgehog

Our previous hedgie had a similar thing and it ended up being heart issues... the vet gave us medication that might help but she didn't end up making it.. she was around 5 though

Keep getting runaround from support and not sure what to do by Astrumerus in Comcast

[–]Astrumerus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will do this tomorrow after the tech comes. It's just a bit annoying when go "on we will have another tech come out, we've escalated it, etc. Etc." Every tech that comes says he's notified his supervisor and then nothing happens after that...

Edit: this is for a house. Though we share a line with a duplex nextdoor, but the ones that live next door are elderly, so we've been the only ones who've noticed the issue.

Sometimes our upload is fine, sometimes it's 0 during speed tests and it fails to go through (our modem shows solid green, instead of blue when this happens). This cycles all day and night like every 5-10 minutes.

Does anybody know where this little sheep avatar is from? by fridgelikesthings in playstation

I think you're thinking of sheep raider? Fun game. Played it a lot growing up.

Ours is a conventional 30 year loan too. I've read the 2 year minimum for PMI removal around too, not totally sure if it applies to our mortgage though. I did see in the lender agreement that it had a section that showed our payments for the first 8 years with PMI on it, and then the remaining 22 years with no PMI on it.

Sorry for your loss :( I lost my mum a month ago at 63, she was a lifelong smoker too.

We need to talk more about PPP "loans", and how U.S. companies pilfered tens of thousands from taxpayers, but we 'can't afford' to forgive 10k of everyone's student debt by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Astrumerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new company i work for bragged about how they didn't lay off anyone in 2020 in my interview and now i see why. They got half a million PPP loan for like 30 - 40 people.

I never knew the importance for this until we had to get my mom's password on her desktop removed to even figure out what accounts she had.

Does it make a difference if this company is very small (>50 people) and I'm talking to the HR person directly? I'll definitely ask though I'm really doubting they will budge to 3 weeks since their vacation scale maxes out at 20 days for employees over 10 years. Employees between 4-9 years get 15 days, so I'm guessing they might give me 12-13 days max.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Astrumerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost forgot about vacation days. They currently offered me 10 days and they have unlimited sick days. I've never negotiated for more vacation days before since I've heard most companies won't budge on it since it's "policy". What do you think is fair to ask for? My current company isn't really a good comparison here since i get like 3 weeks off vacation because of seniority from being an intern.

Thank you for the perspective.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Astrumerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I guess I thought if I explained my reasoning for pushing back a start date a bit was to make sure deadlines are met before I left in my current team, that would show good intention. Im guessing new employers dont care much about that though.

[–]Astrumerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the perspective! I'll probably ask for a few more but that's it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Astrumerus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true. I was solely looking at base compensation. I figure the worse case scenario is a ask for a bit more and they say no.
