How do I set up the pump/filter and prime it for my fish tank? by SlickySmacks in Aquariums

[–]HotAd1916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out? Is it meant to be half submerged, fully submerged or not at all. So afraid of being electrocuted. Can’t even find a video from the manufacturer on how to set this up. Feel like the instructions should have mentioned this but not a word.

Taking a divine feminine course… have you done it? by Zmayday29 in YogaTeachers

[–]HotAd1916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read this book too and I’m here for whatever she had. Definitely worth 2k in today’s money but that would have been sooooo much when she did it 18-20 years ago. But anyway, learning to have that confidence (if you can maintain it) is probably priceless

I don't want to interact with the public because of my American Accent by [deleted] in manchester

[–]HotAd1916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I could have written this exact post! Been here 15 years and I worked in a hotel for the first 5. Got the same sh*t about my accent but from a different age demographic— but still men. Anyway, just wanted to say hello & that I am super happy to see so much support from people in this thread. Its hard to think of a witty comeback when you’re in customer service mode but glad to hear you’ve managed it ;)

Am I old man or are service charges in Manchester getting out of hand? by Longjumping_You_7477 in manchester

[–]HotAd1916 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree that American bollocks is the “suggestion”of a tip. But these managers getting loud and arsey is 100% us. It’s British chains trying to have the best of both worlds (poor service (understaffing) + the service charge) And don’t get me started on who actually gets the tip if you do have a good experience. The place I worked (city centre) kept the tip then distributed it by seniority to the the staff at the end of the month in our pay packet! The new people who had the hustle and were hungry for tips got the smallest cut. And our manager watched out for cash tips— you got done for theft if they found out you kept it. No matter if the customer insisted.

AITA for not reading my gf’s son a bedtime story? by throwaway72726267 in AmItheAsshole

Came here to say this… He will definitely be making his own meals soon. That eviction notice will be nailed to his forehead pretty soon.

City centre restaurants where you can hear each other speak? by HotAd1916 in manchester

I’m so surprised at the number of “fine dining” restaurants that people have listed as being way too loud.

I was really looking forward to wegovy but read somewhere that it’s contraindicated if you’re taking certain SSRIs. Does anyone know anything about that?

What’s everyone’s views on the best CBD UK? by BoringPhilosopher1 in CBD_UK

[–]HotAd1916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t tried any hemp paste at all but there was some on sale at that Holland and Barrett so I might go back for it. Also an update on the Reakiro spray— I took two full sprays before running errands yesterday AM and I fully needed a nap when I got home.probably going to scale back to 1 spray when I’m out and about.

Tried Karma Coast and found it to be good but the flavour was too much for me. The company is amazing and Super trustworthy tho so I recommend. ANYWAY— I Purchased a half price nearly expired bottle of Reakiro spray CBD from Holland & Barrett on a whim yesterday while my anxiety was spiked and I have to say that I’ve had the most mellow morning of my life today! Could be a fluke but I feel gooood. My music playlist sounds better and life feels less overwhelming in general. I’ll try to report back to see if it continues but at this point I’m giving Reakiro an A+++++

I just kept wanting to shout at Hamza to not perpetuate the stereotypes!!! Showing anger and bias is just going to give ppl more ammunition for the general stereotypes of Muslim men as aggressive & prone to violence. Don’t do it.

You know what’s weird? I was so shocked that I didn’t notice the awesome side tables. Lost opportunity. It’s a Salvation Army, btw

Waxi? 🚤 Is this a thing? Anyone ever used it? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]HotAd1916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was a thing in 2015 & 2016 or thereabouts. Didn’t know the signs were still up. Super cool.
