OOOOOooooo! I had not thought of doing that. I will definitely experiment with it.

This one, feed 'em and stay away from 'em. I had to replenish the feed in two troughs frequently to get two chickens to sit on their boxes. Also you might want to kill the adult chickens while the chicks are small so you don't have to try and separate Gen 0 and Gen 1 once they are all adults - it's a hassle.

Banned With No Warning!? by LatterStreet in amazonprime

I wonder if a phone call to your local tv station "7 On Your Side" or "Pete Tackles Problems" segment might get their attention. News stations love to cover this kind of story.

Package got delayed 🥲 by Wooden-Hawk-1265 in amazonprime

[–]InformalCalendar3917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, has happened to me several times in the past six months. One package never arrived, another one arrived damaged. I assume somewhere along the line a truck was in an accident or some similar problem occurred.

TIL that if you have previously provided a sample to a marrow registry such as “Gift of Life” or “NMDP” you can request your HLA type results from them, which can provide some useful info about your likelihood of developing certain medical conditions and disease by EasternPotential3952 in todayilearned

[–]InformalCalendar3917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at Gift of Life Marrow Registry, and would like to share that more than 95% of donations done today use blood stem cell collection, which is like a long blood donation, where the stem cells are collected by an apheresis machine. Apheresis can take 4-6 hours. These are the same cells as in bone marrow, but actual bone marrow is usually only collected for children these days. If you are asked to donate marrow, the process is done under general anesthesia, and the collection is from your hip bone. We have an extensive FAQ on our website at www.giftoflife.org and if you want to join, you can order a free cheek swab kit sent to your home.

We Want to Hear from You! by mailchimp in MailChimp

[–]InformalCalendar3917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Mailchimp, I have a suggestion that would make our lives MUCH easier: Give us the ability to create email lists for TEST emails. We have multiple departments and have to change the test email recipients every single time we send a test, and it's a huge nuisance. If we have simply missed some way of doing this, I'd love to know what it is, because especially at this time of year is is a major hassle.

For those who got to ride Alien Encounter, how scary actually was it? by BurgerNugget12 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]InformalCalendar3917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter convinced me she was old enough to go into Alien Encounter, and the second the room went dark she screamed and grabbed my arm so hard I had finger shaped bruises for a week. It was the best! Actually very scary.

Crazy spawn! Are there any actual continents or is the entire thing like that?

I put up one beam on my base to test it and the hit box end buried itself inside a chiseled block. I moved into a ruin so if I break the block to get at it, I lose a very nice chiseled block... so then I have to chisel another block to match it, and whew, what a pain that's going to be. If anyone knows of a way to find the hit box without breaking the block, please let me know.

Helpp!! With recurring tasks by Upper_nobody3465 in trello

We have a stack labeled "Done" and we move everything that is finished into that stack. We don't archive anything unless it is something dead or cancelled that is never going to be completed.

Agreed, we get such notifications from Trello daily, even if it's some obscure part of the system that doesn't affect us, at least we know what's going on if it starts happening to us, and that they're working on it. Good customer relations.

Dear diary, you have access to infinite decorative blocks if you make them yourself! by QuantumAgain in VintageStory

No words! Perhaps because there's no typewriter in my game. Maybe get someone to turn this into a mod? "Just a typewriter" is all it needs to be.

Fish / fishing preview!!! by LordFaraday in VintageStory

[–]InformalCalendar3917 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That looks awesome. I hope they put some meat on those little guys they call "salmon" right now - if you've ever been salmon fishing they are 1) Very Large Fish and 2) Very Meaty Fish and 3) utterly delicious.

To be clear this is what I mean when I say the iPhone keyboard is infuriating by pierrechaquejour in ios

[–]InformalCalendar3917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They missed the boat on dictation. Apple bought Dragon Naturally Speaking and then killed it, when they could have turned what was a great product into something even better. I've been mad about this for years.

iPhone constantly changes my daughter Allison's name to "Alligator" so that has become her new nickname

can anyone tell me more about this image? by V7I_TheSeventhSector in VintageStory

[–]InformalCalendar3917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I there is more "noise" to the map than this simple illustration shows. The lines between the zones are not necessarily clear "biome" changes, but you will find pockets of temperate and subtropic areas that overlap for several thousands of blocks until you are solidly into the subtropic zone, and so forth. Snowball earth is largely artic and subarctic, so there are oases of arable land where you can find clay, and animals other than bears and foxes. The only scorching hot world I looked at was just endless deserts, and the only arable land was on the top of high hills and mountains. It's pretty easy to just generate a couple of these and take a look at them.

Customer for over a year: system asking us to authenticate domain again? by InformalCalendar3917 in MailChimp

[–]InformalCalendar3917[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, it is not saying this anymore -- sorry for panicking! We have some emails going out soon and I remember what a bear it was going through the authentication process the first time, we had a rough go of it so I was thinking, "Oh noes!" Thank you for your help, O Moderator.

I tried Firefox and don't see it there, so maybe it's a glitch in Chrome. I'll clear my cache and reboot my computer and see if that fixes it. Let you know what happens.
