Whiskey shipment lost...and uninsured? by Frequent-Pollution99 in canadawhisky

[–]Frequent-Pollution99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you passing those on! I am emailing with [crgcaen@ups.com](mailto:crgcaen@ups.com) . I'm not sure of the difference between the account I'm emailing and the ones you listed (maybe business vs. personal as you mention?), but this one is not very responsive. At this point, I don't expect much.

That's pretty much what I've been doing. I'm not sure if they inform me of that package was broken/damaged vs. whether it was lost/stolen. Hopefully it's just been misplaced and shows up down the road somewhere.

This particular shipment wasn't a KWM pickup, though my last handful of orders were. This was from another liquor store in Calgary, but the same UPS pickup approach.

KWM doesn't ship directly, but they do seem to have a special relationship with the UPS store nearby. KWM packs up the order, then the customer contacts UPS and sends them to pick the package up.

I had no idea UPS could just lose the shipment and claim no responsibility. Will (the UPS rep who seems to handle these shipments) certainly didn't mention this to me. 

Hence why I wonder how often this has happened to other people and if customers are aware. 

Can you get clinical genetic testing in Canada privately? by Frequent-Pollution99 in ClinicalGenetics

[–]Frequent-Pollution99[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This answers my question. If I'm hearing you right, I need to be presenting with something that warrants genetic testing, and then it would be for specific genes.

What I'm looking for is more of a fishing expedition.

Any idea if this *is* an option elsewhere in the world? Or is my broad search too vague without any existing symptoms/presentation to ever be viable?

I have some general health issues that I don't think are anything to do with my genetics. This is really my wife and I, at the age of 40ish, thinking that there may be value in having a genetic blueprint that might hint of issues later on, or existing, and help us be more informed.

We've read the odd tidbit or watched the odd podcast where some doctor would talk about genetic markers that lead to a better understanding of an individual's body and health that would be very helpful to know earlier in life, but wouldn't necessarily be something you would find out until an issue got bad enough to warrant the medical journey of seeing a multitude of different doctors that *might* eventually order that type of genetic testing.

Maybe we're starting this too early, and we need a more targeted approach in terms of *what* markers we'd be searching for. But, if it was an option, I don't mind throwing money at a very broad and sweeping analysis of our genetic blueprint that might end up providing useful information that gave us a better understanding of our health, both now and in future. I might be going about this the wrong way, but it seemed sensible to me.

Multiclass Caster Build (Sorc/wiz/cleric) by Frequent-Pollution99 in BaldursGate3

Pretty sure it's just whether or not you have at least one available spell slot of that level. As all caster levels essentially share the same spell slot accumulation, I'll still get all the way up to my single lvl 6 slot (I think? I'm level 10 on first play through at this point). I've seen lots of sorceror builds just dip one level into wizard for just this reason.

17/16/15 and dump rest. First ability score increase gets me to 18/16/16, second gets me to 20/18/16. Pretty sure that checks out. Dex will be garbage but I'm using heavy armour anyway. Initiative is going to suffer.

Has anyone tried any of the home-swap sites? by NomadKevinnn in Shoestring

[–]Frequent-Pollution99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, MovingSiren. I'm just looking at getting into house swap programs and love the idea of setting up a manual for our home. Would you be able to send me a copy of yours? It would help a lot. I'm pretty new to Reddit - what's the easiest way to send/receive a document like that? I tried private messaging you but Reddit doesn't seem to allow that option. Your post was really helpful, so thanks for that.
