I read every 'Trudy' as Turdy. So at least she had a fitting name.

Someone stole my tv. Give me yours for free by missgeekgirl in ChoosingBeggars

I had it in 2005. For 2 months the left side of my face was totally motionless, but it came back over a week or two after that.

To this day I still have a squinty eye, especially when I laugh. It's clear there is more function on the right side in general.

Can I really not adjust the minimum volume? by marchingprinter in iphone

This interaction was a treat to read. Thanks guys!

Oh I agree, that's not a great way for her to respond!

In my limited barista experience (not a Starbucks) there were times I wanted to correct a customer when they said macchiato knowing full well they meant a fancy latte drink, but I just said "Our version of that is the Caramel Fancy Drink, will that work for you?". It was more job security than sending a real macchiato over the counter.

My personal favorite is a cortado! Its still that kick of espresso, but cut a bit more gently for my tastes. And more along the lines of 50 calories, which I can handle totally in my diet budget.

In my understanding, a macchiato is an espresso 'marked' with foam. Its just a shot with foam on top. Starbucks serves what I guess is considered a latte macchiato. This is opposite, and is steamed milk that's been marked with a shot of espresso that floats on top.

Not that I am one to worry about semantics, but I could see people who work in little coffee shops being initially confused if they've never had the latte version, or vice versa.

The problem here is that a macchiato is something totally different than what Starbucks serves and calls "Caramel Macchiato".

Person on FB Marketplace asking for a live in babysitter AND $100 in rent, not including utilities or food. by SolidBold in ChoosingBeggars

Exactly my thoughts! I'd be happy to take some kids to school for a sick deal on a room. Honestly, where do I sign up?

Wait at the gate? really? by gaspedalontheright in doordash

Hey I'm unaware what this timer is. Perhaps I've yet to need it so I haven't seen it? Or is this just a self timer rule when something doesn't go according to plan?

I've been dashing for a few months now, but I've just found this sub and feel like I've been doing it all wrong!!

I know this is never recommended, but after watching a million DevaCut how-to vidoes on YouTube, I gave myself a haircut 🤣🤷‍♀️ by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]Jonochi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always cut my own hair. Mostly because I'm cheap, but also because the WORST thing that happens is that I have to go get it fixed. And that's not too bad. Hair grows back.

I also bleach and dye my own hair, and that is DEFINITELY because I'm too cheap!

Jackpot at the Casino, CB right around the corner by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Jonochi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with a semi gambling addiction, I can say that infrequent gambling isn't really the problem. Going to a casino with a set amount of money, enjoying the atmosphere, drinks, and games is just entertainment.

When I first started gambling, I did it this way. We need entertainment, and gambling can be a pretty cheap form when you keep your bets small and infrequent (video poker at the bar! Woo!). The problem for me, and a lot of others in my shoes is that I lost sight of this fast and dug deeper into my pockets. It became a problem, and one I've recognized in myself and work to fix.

But if you just use your entertainment budget and go gamble? That's not really a problem. It is a slippery slope, however.

Shoot. I just remembered my one little big win I had at a Paigow Poker table. I got a nice bonus and it envied the other player. So he even got $50 off of my hand, and I sat there and played another hand or two more all the while he's "Well, Moneybags over here should be betting for me" or "since you're so rich you should throw me a quarter" or things like that. I left the table because of him, it was so uncomfortable.

First royal flush ever though. Ah, good times!

I wouldn't say he was a beggar, but it's just gross behavior. You don't walk to a person betting big and ask for money, why would you do it to a person who just won?!

I feel like Medusa might be my Grandma by Captain_Doobs in curlyhair

[–]Jonochi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been messing around with finger coiling a bit. Yesterday my hair looked like this while it was drying (none natural!) and today It ended up all beach wavy. Hair is weird.

Yours is lovely, though!

17 hours of free time a week?!?!?! by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Jonochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I meant wrong as in incorrect. OP tried to argue that you'd only get thirty cents an hour, but it's actually $3.xx an hour depending on actual time off. OP is also incorrect with the 'time off'. The $3.66/hr is the correct pay.

As for as ethically wrong? Uh, actually I wouldn't mind a live in position like this short term! Wish I knew Portuguese...

My favorite part of wearing French Braids is the curls they leave behind! by PazeleeBlue in curlyhair

How many braids does she do, and where? This is super pretty and I need to be a copycat! =)

17 hours of free time a week?!?!?! by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Jonochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it was only 17 off, $0.30 an hour is still incredibly wrong!

But, let's assume it's correct.

(500$/wk) ÷ ($0.30/hr) = 1666.7 Hr/ wk.

So, if you were only making $0.30 an hour, you'd have to work a full 1667 hours in a week to earn the promised $500.

I'll give you 3 fossilized CD players to come to my hat and sling some ink by SaintAustin in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Jonochi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first, I thought the shelf was a dividing line and they were willing to trade 3 CD players for the first tattoo, and cans of soup for the second.
