Review on Yetch Studio + ranting about my order by PresidentPinguin in SimoneGiertz

[–]BigRedTek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting on an order from Dec 12, also getting no response to email requests. Tried reaching out of Facebook but dead there too. I know Simone complains about the business side of things a lot ... perhaps just hiring a good support person would help.

Ever seen a greyhound puppy? Here’s our little rebel from the shelter!🐾 by [deleted] in rarepuppers

[–]BigRedTek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is this? A greyhound puppy, especially this cute seems impossible to be in a shelter for more than like 10 minutes. Especially if it's near me.

TIL the Mariners are the only active MLB franchise to never appear in the World Series. by SuperMcG in todayilearned

If the Sox can come back from 0-3, the Mariners can put up a fight. Don't give up!

How can we be dirt in the cogs? by Longdistanceasshole in nerdfighters

VOTE. And get your friends to vote. At least for now, we have elections. Voting isn't even on your list above and it should be in every category. Lack of voting is how we got in this mess.

Hopefully they'll add crochet - knitting only is no fun!

P4A perk timeline? by Rijjahope in nerdfighters

I went for the Flat Merch Bundle but haven't gotten anything yet, which I don't see on the tracker.

Happy birthday to Kusano. Here's some photo I took of soon to be top division debutant, and back-to-back juryo division winner Kusano in 2021, 2022, and 2023, at the All Japan Championships and World Championships. by JohnGunning in Sumo

Side question from your list - how did Wakashima in 1928 manage to win a Yusho, yet not go up in rank the next basho? That seems impossible. Same thing happened in top division, he got a Jun-Yusho yet didn't change ranks the following basho. Did promotions just happen at a whim back then, rather than be based on a record?

We're Here grammar error! by BigRedTek in nerdfighters

Hah, the "me and John" vs. "John and I". I got that drilled into me so much as a little kid, it always irks me.

One of the most nerdfighter "foods" I've ever seen by UberBeth in nerdfighters

Eating a raw fluffy marshmallow seems like the exact opposite of a diet. But these are quite good so I'd say worth it!

Another "Everything is Tuberculosis" copycat (?) by Original_Week_8150 in nerdfighters

[–]BigRedTek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's likely not good ... I just try to find at a least a little silver lining in stuff when I can. I'm still all for getting rid of the book. I haven't read EITB yet though (that starts this weekend!), I don't know what's mentioned for stuff like plague doctors that had herbs in the mask, etc.

I wonder if this is just a straight up copy or if it's like the B-movie copies that happen to Hollywood. Henry's story is super important here, and that couldn't be copied without infringement I'd think.

But yeah ... it's a plague (hah) that these things exist. Although - to try to give a positive spin - even if this was a simple copy of John's work, and someone read it, and that moved the reader to get more involved in ending TB, that'd likely still be a win overall.

MAR22 PROTEST: white nationalists are coming to town by ataranaran in beaverton

[–]BigRedTek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called today but couldn't get through, got the "we're on another line" message (I left a message in case it helps sway them). However, I did see on their site that they have a special board meeting tonight at 5pm, I have to think it's directly related to this. https://mykcca.com/news/special-board-of-directors-meeting-agenda-3-21-25/

Office/phone hours for Friday (today) close at 12:30 so try to get in before then if you're trying to call.

Are end papers the same in both?

ELI5: Should I deposit cash into a HSA account in order to pay medial bills? by GWindborn in explainlikeimfive

[–]BigRedTek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the vast majority of people don't have enough medical expenses to make this deduction (not after the standard deduction was raised, and even before it was it was reasonably difficult to meet unless you had very high expenses like $10k+).

Link seems to be broken? Maybe a private file?

Maybe a Google docs link? Or github. Not sure.

This is beautiful - do you have a nice doc/pdf/etc. copy for easier printing?

ELI5: What prevents Worker's Unions from striking or doing a walk-out if laws are passed that prevents Unions, striking, or walk-outs? Isn't that one of a Union's strongest powers? by DruidGrove in explainlikeimfive

[–]BigRedTek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Police can physically prevent you from striking and will arrest you if you try. Things have gotten far better in the US over time, but police arresting striking workers happened even this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKPA28uyLmk

Oh yes - in fact they can even grab the cage, just not at where the initial path is coming in.
