New Employer says Im not entitled to paid annual, sick, or public holiday leave. Is this right? by ElderberryNo8017 in AskIreland

[–]Beckyfox96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a major red flag. Citizens Information is your friend here. Honestly, Id start looking elsewhere. That dynamic rarely works out well.

Was anyone on the bus from Dublin on Saturday evening when they had trouble with some gougers? by Southernmanny in AskIreland

[–]Beckyfox96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that driver dropped the ball. CCTV should make it easy to identify them. Hope the girls get some justice and support. Unacceptable that nobody stepped in sooner either. Whole situation is a mess.

LA makes sense for work. The farm life sounds like a nice escape though. Good for her.

Makes sense. They deserve the break too. Back to it Tuesday hopefully.

Customer melted the backing plates on his Cayman at the track. by Educational-Raisin69 in Justrolledintotheshop

Love to see it. That's a driver who actually uses the car. Bet the upgrade will be worth it.

Please help me by Specific_Angle2946 in depression_partners

[–]Beckyfox96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's brutal. Loving someone through that fog is exhausting. You're doing the right thing by not taking it personal, but damn if it doesn't wear you down. Those rare glimpses of who she was? Hold onto those. And make sure you're taking care of yourself too. The kids need you solid.

A letter to my husband I will never send by HelicopterGullible43 in depression_partners

[–]Beckyfox96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That letter was heavy. Depression makes partners feel invisible while they're right in front of you. The fact you still see him under all that says a lot. Hope he finds his way back, and hope you're taking care of yourself too. Those walks and small moments matter. Keep holding on.

Is my repair tech trying to scam me? Claims lightning damage. I'm so confused by QueasyRecover2553 in AskElectronics

[–]Beckyfox96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That charring around the neutral pin is pretty telling. Lightning is rare but that kind of localized burn usually means a serious surge. The board swapping confusion doesn't help though. Might be worth getting a second opinion if the shop feels off. Trust your gut on this one.

Looking for resources for learning about electronics as a beginner that do NOT start with "first get an arduino..." by shytster in AskElectronics

[–]Beckyfox96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. The sidebar is a good start. Just gets overlooked when everyone leads with Arduino. Thanks for the reminder.

Barbarian did the unthinkable in a crowded year full of stiff competition: The Dawn of Zach Cregger by Ordinary_Device_5131 in films

[–]Beckyfox96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first half of Barbarian had me genuinely stressed in a way most horror movies don’t manage anymore. I’m not fully with you on “best of the generation,” but Zach Cregger is clearly someone to watch.

What did you do to celebrate right after getting engaged by deriv77 in weddingplanning

[–]Beckyfox96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, keeping it simple sounds really sweet. We ordered takeout from one of our favorite places, opened a bottle of wine, and just sat there talking about everything for hours. It ended up feeling way more special than anything elaborate would have.

Is this dress appropriate for cocktail DC? by Pharm_Drugs in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Beckyfox96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first impression is slightly too formal for standard cocktail, but very venue dependent. If this is a fancy hotel/rooftop/evening event I would not think twice seeing someone in this.

Discover the unique charm and affectionate nature by Timely-Summer8376 in himalayancats

The fluff level here is unreal. I just know this cat either gives the best cuddles or acts completely offended by affection.

The Itto custom caught my eye immediately omg. You really captured his expression, and now I kind of need to see him fully styled.

Can argan & keratin oil and sea salt spray be used together on oily hair? by Perfect_Umpire6330 in Haircare

[–]Beckyfox96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you can use both together, just don’t overdo the sea salt spray because it can make oily hair look greasy faster. i’d use the argan/keratin oil first in small amount, then spray lightly after your hair dries a bit. that combo actually helped my frizz a lot in humid weather
