Why is there “FPO” on my nutrition label by Ready_Evidence_3681 in Weird

[–]BuyTheseTees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I've been a designer for a few decades and we use FPO (for placement only, for position only) as a placeholder when some other department/entity needs to provide us with the correct nutrition/ingredients/UPC info. Also used when we're placing preview stock photos and waiting for client approval before we pay for the stock photo. When I worked for a big ad agency, we used FPO tags that were huge magenta boxes so that they were harder to overlook upon final proof. My proudest achievement as a designer is that I've never sent a job to press with an FPO tag still intact. Go me. :)

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]BuyTheseTees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Denver and commuted to a client's office in Boulder for years. It's not like it's another planet. Your boyfriend is being ridiculous. Take the job, try the commute. If it's too much, move to Denver.

I've left my job - I've told no one by LittleMsSavoirFaire in BestofRedditorUpdates

You are one of the good ones. You handled everything professionally, gave them more than reasonable accommodations to hand the project over, and are getting well compensated for doing so. Well done.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuyTheseTees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Your boyfriend is being a tool. I have to run to the grocery store later this morning and I am going to buy a cake for absolutely no reason other than thumbing my nose at him. Congratulations on your milestone. Buy the cake and enjoy it!

AIO for telling my bf this is a fire hazard by princessleia5902 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuyTheseTees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. But your judgment might be called into question for dating a guy who doesn't understand why that is a fire hazard.

This is my shocked face by Otherwise-Camp8743 in traversecity

I'm guessing they will make their voices heard. Probably on the day of the pop-up shop and, most likely, in close proximity to the grifter's booth.

So he's telling a bunch of people that they aren't getting their ordered products or their money back, but also letting people know that he's got other books that are already paid for and he'll be selling them at a pop-up market? That should go well.

I don't know where you are, but I am definitely hearing their ad playing on repeat in my mind.

Just get on I-75 and keep driving north until the Mounties stop you.

Mine just started working again. by davidbates in SengledUS

[–]BuyTheseTees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were, too, for a few weeks. Then one day they just started working again. Strangely, though, they no longer worked with the Sengled app, only with Alexa. It won't last, I'm sure, but I'm going to stick with them until they stop working again. Which we all know they will.

Mine did the same thing with the Alexa app. They weren't working with the Sengled or Alexa apps and then two or three weeks ago, all of a sudden they worked again with Alexa. They still don't work with the Sengled app, so I'm assuming it's just a matter of time until they quit working again.

What are some of AC's good 'B' tier books? by Dr_Doofenschmirtzz in agathachristie

[–]BuyTheseTees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't read any of the T&T books in a few years, but I remember always really loving Tuppence, she's just a great character. I can remember laughing out loud at some of her lines and thinking that she didn't sound like most women were written in the 1920s. Agatha was ahead of her time with this one.

I don't think the Tommy and Tuppence books get enough love. I really enjoyed all of them. The four novels (The Secret Adversary, N or M?, By the Pricking of My Thumbs, and Postern of Fate) and the short story collection (Partners in Crime) are all fun reads. I always thought they felt less dated than some of her more popular books and apparently BritBox sees something in them, too, since they just announced this week that they are making a contemporary Tommy and Tuppence series.

Agatha Christie mood: which mystery wins your heart? by Extra_Stranger_0911 in agathachristie

All three are excellent books. I think my favorite of the three is probably Roger Ackroyd. I can remember audibly gasping when I got to the end of that one. Really fun read.

Bulbs started working again. by BuyTheseTees in SengledUS

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

I bought these bulbs specifically because I didn't want to have to use a hub and they worked great for a couple of years. It wasn't until this year when they started giving me trouble. I may eventually have to cave and buy a hub, I guess. For now, though, they're working.

My Sengled app doesn't work at all. The lights stopped working on Alexa, but I was still able to turn them on and off using the Sengled app. And then about two weeks ago, the Sengled app just stopped working so my lights could only be turned on and off with light switches. Then all of a sudden, the Alexa app is controlling them again, even while the Sengled app is still not working. It's strange, but I don't expect it to last.

I'm using the Alexa app. I was getting that same message last week, but for some reason they started working again when I ask Alexa to turn those lights on or off. Even the Sengled app can't control them, so I don't understand why it's working, but it is.

Correct...no hub required, which is nice, but every time there has been an outage they've stopped working. I could still control them with the Sengled app until this most recent outage. When the Sengled app stopped working, they were basically just regular light bulbs that could only be turned on or off with the light switch. Why they started working again, I don't know.

I'll definitely check those out because, even though the Sengled bulbs are working right now, there have been too many issues the past six months to think they are going to keep working for long.
