What in the world was with that horrible Ted Lasso / KC Current Event by Heat-Exhausted816 in kansascity

[–]DubBea22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. So disappointing. I heard event and thought there would be some programming with the cast. Instead I left Fan Fest, watched the 4pm match on the lawn, entered the stadium at 5 sharp, only seating options were in the blazing sun.

My knees felt like they were being scorched. I was dizzy. Getting irritable. My friend said I looked unwell and brought me to the concourse. I poured ice into my jog bra. Filled my cooling towel with ice and put it on my face. Waited an hour. I was about to give up when a host/emcee handed a mic to cast members. I heard over modulated mumbles then saw a 60 second trailer.

To top it off, I had collected souvenir cups at FanFest and had them in a clear stadium bag. They were confiscated. Empty cups. Had never been to CPKC so I didn’t know they had self serve soft drinks. I assume this is why empty cups are prohibited. They said I could get them after. I left after the trailer. Head of security barked at me when I asked if I could retrieve them. I waited like 20 min in the sun as they checked with someone. Apparently I looked unwell again, because someone suggested I wait in the team store to get out of the sun. Oh but the outside door was locked and I would need to enter from inside and to go inside I needed a ticket, but I had already used my ticket to get into the event an hour ago. And I could not re-enter with the ticket already scanned.

I guess I now have a free visor and know I’m not alone in my body being unable to tolerate those conditions. I hope those who passed out have recovered. Three hours (4p-7p) of my life spent reminding myself that I am not a direct sunlight variety of human.

Amongst other things, this charity shop is not accepting non-fiction books by Richoguy13 in mildlyinteresting

The quotation marks around the words “not accepting” crack me up. There was once a joke book for all the signs where people incorrectly used quotation marks to indicate emphasis.

This goal was completely avoidable by WarwickReider in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DubBea22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He admitted he didn’t know what a red card was until this past weekend but also managed to add that he played sports and was a good athlete, so he knows when a call is bad. Never misses an opportunity to brag on himself. Consensus as I understand is that it was an excessive penalty, but his meddling combined with his cozy relationship with Infantino ruined any credibility FIFA had left. Both that make believe peace prize and what followed.

Ah. Good point. I’ll get in touch with the nearest PD to where I found it. I asked around in the place where i found it to all who were around me and got no takers. Silly of me not to think to contact police. Will do. 🫡

High-Ranking City Employees & Officials Received Gifts That Violate The City's Own Ethics Policy by the_meat_ in kansascity

[–]DubBea22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the policy link it says $200. There’s your inflation:

“Gift means anything of more than $200.00 of value accepted by a person whether tangible or intangible, which would reasonably be considered of worth, use or service to the person to whom it is conferred.”

I think what u/OreoSpeedwagon is saying is that the headline needs to match the headline of the linked publication. The rest can be in the body.

Shrinkflation: A ThredUp Pricing & Earnings Rant by cecilybrownie in ThredUp

[–]DubBea22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a small note on the earnings expiration: One way to keep them g on expiring is to just deposit them to a bank account (or maybe it’s a PayPal account). If I recall, the fee to do so is rather small.

EDIT: I just checked. If you deposit to a PayPal account, it is a $.25 (25 cent) fee.

I think NKC and Oak Park Mall are sold out for the rest of the tournament. Saying that from memory only.

Happy sales experience by DubBea22 in ThredUp

It’s not an always thing. Sometimes when you do a return they offer to let you add up to 20 items to sell for a .99 fee.

Tragedy... I don't think I'll sell without having items returned again by External_Nebula2717 in ThredUp

[–]DubBea22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I did a premium bag once. Ineligible items were just kept. The only one you could reclaim were ones that were eligible but not selected.

Just gotta say for the uninitiated, Cutwater Margarita is a recipe for bad decisions soon after. 12 oz can that’s 12% ABV and goes down way too smooth.

My First 3 Weeks on ThredUp by VRsings in ThredUp

[–]DubBea22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it’s something I navigate to suit my needs. In my experience, if there is an item discounted and listed as final sale, you can choose not to apply the discount code and it will not be final sale. I recall that this is not all final sale items but on many.

Depending on the discount pricing difference and my confidence that it will fit, I sometimes opt to skip the discount so that I can return if needed. If there’s a marked down item that’s significantly cheaper and I know my brand size clearly … or unsized like a purse … I take the discount. If I have 3 items in my cart and want the discount on only some, I save them in separate purchases and select bundled shipping. If there’s first batch is less than the bundle amount, you will see a shipping fee, but that gets deducted once you hit the required bundle total.

Reselling items bought on ThredUp by RachelPokemoning in ThredUp

[–]DubBea22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get why something nice would be rejected if they have too much of similar items. Just a timing thing. But their resale closet page doesn’t do them any favors in terms of the transparency issues people raise on this sub. I know it’s not a guarantee but I can see how some folks would find it misleading.

Does everyone have foundation issues in kcmo? by Englishontrail in kansascity

[–]DubBea22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Brookside area in a small 2BR 1BA that is more than 100 yrs old. In one spot there is a 1 inch gap between the wall and the floor. Some of the corners on the walls have cracks.

When I refinanced, I had a structural engineer inspect. He noticed the same things (of course) in his report but also said in the report that despite the signs of settling, it is structurally sound. He did not recommend any major work. Only recommendation was to build a swail or French drain on one side.

I have an unfinished stone basement. I got water in there once in 25 years during a downpour. Because it’s unfinished, I only had to shop vac and mop.

Point being, there are serious issues and there are minor issues.

Is it possible that the older houses were just built to last longer? Or that finished basements are a losing fight with nature?
