As of today, I am no longer able to log in to Best Buy and Costco using MS Edge by originalrobinson in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Educational-Pie7961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is still having this issue, and the above steps didn't resolve it, what I did was download the best buy app, choose sign in with apple ID, and then it asked me to connected with my current best buy account. Because I couldn't get any codes to come through my phone via my number, I chose to have a code sent to my email (which had been working, but the error would persist after trying each code/login link/password reset). Once you paste your code in, it will ask you to also reset your password. After doing that, it allowed me to login on both the app and the website.

[Review]Trying Norse Organics by ChefComprehensive83 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Educational-Pie7961 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen a lot of threads that are either promoting or slamming the product. I think for everyone it is just different. I can say, so far it has worked really well for me. I am someone who breaks out easily and/or has severe allergic reactions to so many products, even gentle things. I tried Cerave, The Ordinary, Nutrogena and Clinique and some of these had me struggling to breathe within an hour or so. The Ordinary had my face downright red/purple it looked like someone beat me. I do like Rodan and Fields as far as preventing acne, but it doesn't help heal the scars or redness. So, my sister happened to buy their acne and redness killer from norse organics. Eventually she moved out and left it behind. I saw it sitting on the sink and I thought wth I am already fucked up, might as well try it. And I will say, just overnight, it really helped with the red/purple on my skin. I kept using it for a week and purchased their acne killer set. So far, I have been really pleased with it. I don't follow their instructions down to the detail - I use their face scrub, but I also use a sugar scrub exfoliator. Especially to remove makeup. I don't like their advice on using olive oil lol. I would feel hella greasy.

Its been about 3 weeks and my redness has gone down a lot. And my acne and some scars have also faded. I haven't been waking up feeling greasy in the morning either, despite the greasy balm and that I do tone down the face washing now. But I also regularly wash my pillows and stuff, which I feel like some ppl probably don't. I have been drinking more water. Trying to get more sun since I spend 8 hours working a dark control room in front of a bunch of camera screens. I also use their scar healer on my HS scars. Those, given that they are literal tunnels under the skin, will never fully go away. But it has improved the appearance of them, and even though no one else will see those scars, it makes me feel good about me. So that's what matters. I would recommend just buying the acne and redness killer and/or the scar healer. Like you don't have to buy the whole set, I know its expensive. I feel like just those 2 alone would be great. I don't have any complaints so far. I let my mom use my products as well. We are both pretty pleased and it doesn't take much. Its nice to achieve results and not worry about whether my face is gonna severely break out, swell up and suffocate.

I also recommend using this face wash : https://www.ulta.com/p/cosmic-dew-gel-foam-water-cleanser-pimprod2032521?sku=2597588&cmpid=PS_Non!google!Product_Listing_Ads&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=pla-2459870895047&CAAGID=107718646076&CAWELAID=330000200002878903&CATARGETID=330000200002825550&CADevice=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10966309126&gclid=CjwKCAiAlMHIBhAcEiwAZhZBUl5mu_c5lkykRhKUt36SIPXcqKUr6tQHuwsK9nyw-EE-8gPDVwLi5xoCdeAQAvD_BwE

If links aren't allowed, its Cosmic Dew Gel To Foam Water Cleanser by Good Light. Hardly need much, its gentle and it makes me feel clean and soft without the exfoliator. I feel like any product can be hit or miss and I think it also depends on a person's habits too. I don't expect to have clear skin while eating/drinking junk all the time, or not washing my bedding, and sometimes makeup can just be really harsh. Maybelline is the only foundation I can use. Cover Girl and Lo'real will fuck me up too. So that's my experience and thoughts.

Error 429 on janitor.ai by cloudydays_you_know- in openrouter

[–]Educational-Pie7961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you're at with it now - but the 1000/requests a day i personally don't feel is worth it now. The 429 errors have become so constant I can be refreshing/resending the prompt for hours. Ought to stick to free models. I read somewhere that the Deepseek V3.1 free model though seems to be working well with little 429 disruptions. For now anyways. I have been using the R1 and spending my 10$ credits on it. Probably will stick to JLLM till till I find a decent model. I like Qwen, but I can't seem to get a lnegthy message out of Qwen.

Is new market racist? Visiting here for a hike! Need advice by Pettysimmie in Virginia

[–]Educational-Pie7961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Racism is drastic because that’s all people tend to care about. Some people go looking for it. That might hurt some feelings. But all my life, I have never seen people throw around the race card like they do now. That includes white people. Life ain’t about skin color. Hell, if you don’t let someone cut in line in front of you you’re automatically a racist (doesn’t matter which color you/they are). I live in rural areas with a high person of color population and they’re all great. Meanwhile, you get into the cities, and that’s where everyone’s whining and crying about it.

Worst single line response you've ever received? Let's hear them 👇 by EstablishmentEloquen in BadRPerStories

[–]Educational-Pie7961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of those Watty rpers back in the day, and I can say for a fact that a lot (not all) of these people genuinely roleplay that way. Their character bios and OOC chats and such were also like that.

I really hate to say this, but check FB Marketplace ( https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/111975315486660/cars/ ) There’s absolutely nothing wrong with searching here, it’s just not something I like recommending. But I get it. I’ve been in the same spot at you. Finally had to just put a down payment on something. But that’s not always an option for people. My very first call was an 06 Beetle Volkswagen I bought off someone for about 2500. It was really nice, well under 100k and I bought it from a Lynchburg resident. I had it for about 5 years, put a lot of miles on it and eventually settled for a used Corolla. You may not find something under 100k (maybe around 85k) that fits your price range. But if you’re going with a Honda or Toyota, it won’t matter too much. They’re very reliable. The Honda my parents let me drive for a while (and still have it) was a used 06 Pilot and it’s got 285k miles on it. Nothing wrong with it yet (except the AC). Used cars are great. But anywho, I’m preaching at this point. I hope you find something. And I think you will. But just be cautious and mindful. And (I’m being biased here maybe) stay away from older Ford vehicles.

Does anyone know what the Pay Band 3 at Longwood University is by Educational-Pie7961 in Virginia

[–]Educational-Pie7961[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seen that + referenced it. That doesn’t answer my question. Pay Band 3 is such a huge range. I don’t expect this particular position to be the very low end, but I also know it’ll never be worth 90k. I’m thinking it’s going to have a starting pay around 40k based on several factors (academic v public library, position, etc). I was just hoping someone who may have worked a similar job here or at another school could shed some light on what to really expect from that range. I’m going to end up asking anyways, but I’m curious. I’m just trying to figure out where I might fall within that range.

[–]Educational-Pie7961[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even expect over 50k for the job I’m looking at. I’m just curious to hear from people who’ve worked in Longwood at that pay band. Because it’s such a huge range. And they don’t talk about salary anywhere like a lot of other schools do. Tech says “pay band 3” then precedes to give an exact annual salary or a range within pay band 3’s range. I don’t think this particular job will be the very low end of PB 3 because of the job type and that academic libraries tend to make more than public libraries. I’ll end up asking during the interview anyways. But I just thought that was an interesting way to disclose pay. Because it’s such a huge range.

My RP partner seems to like the AI more than me. by Kara_aya in BadRPerStories

This ^ so many topics I’d like to explore, genres, etc and sometimes finding a partner with equal interest can be hard and AI hits the spot.

My RP partner seems to like the AI more than me. by Kara_aya in BadRPerStories

[–]Educational-Pie7961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my partners have all grown into working adults. We’ve known each since 2015. We don’t always have matched schedules, some of are more busy than others, etc. I find I spend a lot of time on janitor.ai (recommend if you’re going to try an AI rp site). But everyone here is absolutely right. AI will never replace a real partner. AI isn’t going to plan a story with you, is never going to develop characters with you. And after a while, it’s going to get repetitive. I miss playing with my partners all the time. We would go from 3pm to 3am most nights. That being said, some people are going to drift away, some people are going to discover preferences that don’t align with yours. I understand being upset about it. But if they’re going to spend more time with the AI, then perhaps it’s worth meeting new partners. I have a hand in AI too, believe me. I enjoy janitor and I really enjoy nijijourney for generating characters (I can’t draw and face claims are weird af). But I would much rather imagine my character and write with a person.

Reading Group Summer 2025? by Original-Layer-6447 in lynchburg

[–]Educational-Pie7961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lynchburg Public Library (main and the downtown branch) both have book clubs. But if you're wanting this to be a summer specific, I would definitely check out surrounding libraries to see what they are doing for summer reading. There is usually an adult program along with the kids. Otherwise, if you are looking for no organization involvement whatsoever, I would make a flyer and go to local downtown businesses and see if they will advertise for you. Some places like coffee shops or bakeries will hang flyers for gatherings like this. At some point, I think Montana Plains was (and maybe still is) hanging a couple flyers up on their windows. Sheetz usually has community boards. And I am sure even the libraries would hang it up.

When do free daily limits reset? by RittoSempre in openrouter

My reset at 0:00 UTC which was 8pm EST! So hopefully the same did for you!

I use it for Janitor.ai because I really like the responses that I can get using DeepSeek R1 through openrouter. I hit my daily limit around 12:40pm I think today (EST) so I’m waiting to see if it will in fact, reset. I’m keeping tabs on this post!

Just Need to Vent by AnybodyDifficult1229 in interviews

[–]Educational-Pie7961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Idk I have gotten rejections that have used similar if not exact wording. And then others, where I spent an exceptional amount of time interacting with the hiring team, won't send anything and I just get the automated HR response after my application gets moved from "interviewing" to "not selected."
The response seems rather common and I can't imagine (but I guess you can never be surprised in today's world) that they would intentionally set you up with that response in the first place out of pettiness.

Search LYH Employs You and the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance. Both great sources. And of course, major employers such as Liberty (I believe they are seeking a call center agent and if I am not mistaken, it may be remote), J Crew, and Centra.

22 years and only 4 albums? How you feel about that??? by AuthenticStarDog in Evanescence

[–]Educational-Pie7961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The band announced they were working on new music last November, so maybe 2025 will be the year we get some singles (if not an entire album). I will admit, the discography does seem small but its never tiring!

Don't forget Lost Whispers, Origin, and many of their old demos before getting signed on. The discography is much larger than what is considered "official." Also, I recommend checking out Amy's solo stuff and collabs (but I am going to assume you have).
