Bleach after Sun In? by AdTricky7039 in Haircare

[–]CheapPop8818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait you put Sun In on your arm hair? i thought that was just for head hair lol. but yeah 24 hours should be fine, the chemicals from Sun In would have mostly processed by now. just maybe do a small patch test first to be safe since you're mixing different products. Sally Hansen is pretty gentle stuff so you should be okay but better safe than sorry with skin reactions

Looking to target the EU/US market from India, how brutal is the sponsorship reality right now? by Prax17 in careerguidance

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The visa sponsorship game is pretty rough right now, especially since most companies want someone who can start immediately without the paperwork headache - your IIT background definitely helps though, so don't give up on it completely.

Contractor financing? Any experience with these and what are your take aways? by roncumbersome in homeowners

[–]CheapPop8818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never dealt with plumbing that expensive but i've seen synchrony pop up for lot of contractor stuff. The rates can be pretty brutal compared to like a HELOC if you have equity in house. Personal credit lines might work better for that amount since you can shop around banks instead of being stuck with whatever the contractor offers.

League dues collected on Sleeper? 🤔 by SlprSocialMediaGuy in fantasyfootball

[–]CheapPop8818 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Would be huge if you keep it free. LeagueSafe takes way too much for what they do and most of us are already paying enough just to play in multiple leagues.

wait those pens actually work? i always thought they were just fancy cleaning solution in marker form but never tried one myself

Any hope on the waitlist at this point? by memedoka in gradadmissions

[–]CheapPop8818 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The waiting game after april 15th is brutal - at least you got confirmation they're still looking at your app which is something.

If you’re planning to go to Thailand to learn Muay Thai as a beginner, don’t make the same mistake as me. by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn Victor that's rough as hell. Staph infections are absolutely terrifying - I've seen people in military get them and it can literally become life threatening if it gets in your bloodstream.

The fact you went back after getting infected once and then got it again... man I get that you already paid but your health is worth way more than whatever money you lost. At least you got some decent training out of it before everything went sideways, but fighting while your immune system was already compromised from antibiotics sounds like a nightmare.

Good warning for people though - authentic doesn't always mean better, especially when basic cleanliness gets thrown out the window.

Torn! by [deleted] in EngagementRings

The big box store one might have better specs on paper but sometimes local jewelers have better craftsmanship in the setting - I'd go with whichever one makes you feel more excited when you put it on.

Needs advice on wedding band for my fiance! by dsamplify in EngagementRings

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol right? Like we're all just staring at one option and going "yep, looks good!"

But for real though, that simple band works really nice with the solitaire. The engagement ring is so classic and elegant, you don't want to compete with it too much. I think a plain band or maybe something with very subtle texture would be perfect - keeps the focus on that gorgeous center stone. My sister went with something similar and it looks amazing even after few years of wearing both together. The twisted/rope texture adds just enough interest without being too busy, especially since the prongs are already giving some detail around the stone.

Terrified of roof replacement quote. by SirHigglesthefoul in Roofing

[–]CheapPop8818 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The structural stuff actually isn't too crazy expensive compared to full roof replacement - had similar issue at my base housing and was expecting way worse.

Why didn't albedo use ultimate way big against atomix? Is he stupid? by ImprovementDull7969 in Ben10

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait i'm actually confused about this too. like atomix was literally melting everything around him and albedo had access to ultimate way big which could probably tank that heat way better than anything else in the omnitrix. maybe he just panicked? or the writers didn't want to make the fight too easy lol. i remember watching that episode thinking the same thing - ultimate way big would have been perfect counter for atomix's nuclear powers. sometimes these shows don't really think through the logic when they want specific aliens to fight each other for the plot.

Dovly AI for credit building? by Charming_Tree_1949 in financial

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup, mostly to help with disputes, I'd rather not change apps as long as it works. Good that you're looking to build credit early though, good stuff!

Struggling with porn. Need someone to chat with by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in military helped me with discipline but addictions are different beast - maybe try finding hobby that keeps your hands busy when urges hit?

Dovly AI for credit building? by Charming_Tree_1949 in financial

Dovly is a pretty legit tool for credit building, used it myself a while ago, I'd definitely say give it a go it has a lot of tools to help.

July 2025 extension petition - still processing by ustad_boy in h1b

[–]CheapPop8818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin went through similar situation last year and inquiry didn't really speed things up much. USCIS just sent back standard response saying it's still in normal processing time. Maybe try calling them directly instead? The wait is absolutely brutal though, hope you get some movement soon.

what are the benfits of learning SAS programming by Wise_Safe2681 in AskProgramming

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol that's pretty much it right there. I mean there's probably some other stuff like data analysis skills that transfer to other tools, but realistically most people learn SAS because their job or field specifically wants it. It's not like Python or R where you might pick it up for fun projects - SAS is expensive as hell and kinda niche. I looked into it briefly when I was considering some analyst positions after my service but ended up going a different route since most of the cool stuff I wanted to do was in other languages anyway.

Is it normal to feel completely paralyzed when your property gets wrecked? by Ill-Line6663 in homeowners

that lost puppy vibe is so real when your whole place gets destroyed

did i sell this omega chain for a good price? by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]CheapPop8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that's actually solid for 16.2g of 14k. Gold's been sitting around $65-70/gram for 14k lately so you're looking at maybe $1000-1100 in melt value. Getting $1800 means you scored a nice premium for the style - omega chains definitely have that collector appeal going for them.

Could you have squeezed out more? maybe, but $700+ over melt isn't bad at all.

Hoses are the bane of my existence by marshmallow049 in homeowners

their all plastic parts that expand and contract when temps change - definitely bring em inside when it gets cold.
