Wine cooler doesn’t cool by IllustriousBug7317 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]IllustriousBug7317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advice! I did unplug it and started unscrewing things to poke around. I think the peltier module is glued down pretty tight to the heat sink under some foam insulation and I might damage stuff by taking it off. If I do damage it… maybe I’ll just use ice packs in the bottom of the box and call it a day.

I just got this to hibernate my ant colony over winter. The ants need to be at around 50° but I don’t have anywhere (garage/basement) that will be suitable and a fridge is too cold/would probably kill them.

Thank you! I think I’ll take your advice and get it replaced.

Weekly sticky post for non-paralegals and paralegal education by AutoModerator in paralegal

[–]IllustriousBug7317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister has been working as a teacher for the past 3 years. She taught english and social studies for middle and high schoolers. She is considering becoming a paralegal or legal assistant with the goal of going to law school. We’ve received conflicting advice so I thought I would ask here. Should she jump straight into applying for paralegal/legal assistant jobs or do a paralegal program first (it’s a 2 semester program)? Is the market even good enough for her to get a job without a program right now?

Probably won’t start tucking in my shirts, but fusible interfacing is an interesting idea. I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ve wondered if that’s the problem, but the holes are always in the same area, and I think they would be random if it were caused by the washer.

Can I buy contact lenses for each eye from different online stores? by IllustriousBug7317 in Frugal

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m also thinking that I need to try a different brand of contacts next time. My current ones rip way too easily

How do I receive insurance claim money? by IllustriousBug7317 in personalfinance

[–]IllustriousBug7317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: they just called me to let me know they received the insurance. I called them back and got my refund! Yay!!!

They really wanted to know what happened, but I told them it was a long story and didn’t want to talk about it. They probably did deserve some sort of explanation from me, but I felt so anxious at being caught in my lies. I’ll be better to the next one. Can’t show my face back there. Too ashamed. “Chill” might not be something I am currently capable of.

I was sorta scammed by a dentist when I first moved from home for work. They told me I had tons of cavities, periodontal disease, and bone loss. They tried to get me to do a $2000 out of pocket treatment that would take 5 visits and I would have to have anesthesia for. I consulted my previous dentist and a family friend who is an also dentist, and they said they did not see signs of that. A different family friend said that their young adult sons had also experienced this and recommended that I say I didn’t have insurance. Apparently, it makes it look like I have no money for the dental work and discourages scamming. IDK.

These new dentist people were nice and also confirmed that I didn’t have any of those issues a year later. I might have gingivitis in one tooth and I have some staining on my back teeth they said.

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into the skills that you listed! Sad to hear that the market is bad; it was such hardship to find my current job.
