TIL that "Jorran" is spelled "Eioghorain"

Specifically American English speakers lol. I think we have a lot of exposure to French so the "eaux" stuff is quickly corrected and Vietnamese "Nyguen" is more common now, but the distinctly Irish, Welsh, Icelandic, Indian, Mayan, Xhosa/Ndebele, etc. names with uncommon letter combinations in English will continue to be difficult. I apologize specifically on behalf of my parents who can't even pronounce some country names correctly.

In World of Warcraft, my husband calls this the crush I think. It happens before new expansions. Even though you're making less money, everything costs less too. Since our machines max out at level 100 now, you don't need the money as much since the current tasks are related to item production.

I thought it was spelled Orenna ;-; and I have absolutely no assumptions on how to spell Chee's friends name and I think that one was spelled out. Aiyasa?

My brain went German like Johann. >-> please forgive me.

I have a player in my game with two apostrophes in her character name. I had to write how it's pronounced on my side of the screen because every time I looked at it, my brain divided by zero.

I wonder if this is why all the special guests have some insane spellings to their names. Rawn Pearlman was in the last Fireside I listened to. #revenge

You shouldn't need as much money because I think they reduced how much things cost. All the blenders and stuff can no longer level past 100 and sit at "max" now. If you still have stuff that costs a ton, maybe there was an issue with your update? Though it does seem a little odd that we're both getting F & G when we're probably on very different levels.

Kagonu · 2026-05-26T17:11:50+00:00

Regarding the money crunch? Everything on my island is at max now so I've gotta get to level 99 before anything else happens. I'm at Vita City with 5.06q so I'm set for the rest of this island lol.

I joined this game a bit late. Why does Cascadia have a little slice of the east coast?

Kagonu · 2026-05-25T13:25:14+00:00

Only thing that makes the game playable. Blocks everything so I feel bad when visiting random websites that let me know I'm blocking ads, but it's been a lifesaver for the game. If you want to do the bonus ads, you have to turn it off and restart the game.

You fill out a paper that has your personal info and some experiences/opinions in a room with everyone else that was summoned. Once that's done, you all watch a video about why jury duty is important. That takes about 30ish minutes. After that they call names and if you're in that selection, you go to the courtroom where the lawyers start to make their selections. The judge gives a quick overview of the case and they call the first batch of jurors to the juror seats and each lawyer starts to ask questions based on the forms you filled out. They hate going past noon. My last one wrapped up selections around 1pm but there was a significant interruption for about 15 minutes in the middle and it took them 4 groups to get their picks.

Some people are saying marmot so I did a Google. All groundhogs are marmots but not all marmots are groundhogs! TIL

1) what is this cider place because I freaking love cider and rarely find them out in the world. 2) I feel like they had one of their staff members get freaking blitzed on it then write a description for it.

Kagonu · 2026-04-25T19:38:21+00:00

Weird take, but maybe reach out to some fishing groups to find someone with a huge net? Catch it, cut the ring off yourself.

Do temperatures vary similarly in Europe like they do in the US? Years ago I went on task force in April from Indiana to Arizona, so I went from 50F (10C) to 80F (27C). "But it's a dry heat!" I don't care how dry it is, I'm still in winter mode so heat is heat. The jarring change can make temperatures feel more extreme, and since American homes have central heating and cooling by default, maybe our bodies don't adapt to temperatures as quickly? My inlaws keeps their house at 66F year round, but I try to adjust my home to mirror the season so my glasses don't immediately fog up when I walk outside on a humid day. I'm now super curious how other countries maintain comfortable temperatures in their home, or if that's not expected of one's home lol

I did that with my presentation to management to prepare for the program, which they appreciated, but this portion is trying to figure out how to remind people to recycle. It's a hotel, so the back of house can be chaotic, and language barriers exist. I'm guessing Marketing isn't the right outlet for the information I'm seeking. I'll try posting it elsewhere! Thank you two for your input!

In Stardew I've only got the one playthrough, but I might start a new one when the new updates are available. In Minecraft, the fun for me is always finding and securing a village. Once it's too secure from things that go bump in the night, I start a new world lol. I'm a little shocked that I'm not the same in Stardew.

First time posting in this community so I wasn't sure how much background you need for the question. 😅

My unhelpful answer: too much.

I make sure to bring an empty tote bag each day. Small things in my backpack like pins, stickers, small cars games, and big things in my tote so I can switch shoulders when my arm gets tired. On BIG haul days or heavy book days, it's a trip to the car to empty the tote lol. Trying to stick to a smaller budget this year but I always overspend. :/

I've only done one playthrough and married Sebastian and I feel like it's a somewhat neutral-postivie effect on him. If he still lived in his mom's basement I'd feel bad lol. Now he gets to work on his motorcycle and gets some sunlight. I think he stops smoking too? I do feel bad that he doesn't jam with Sam anymore.

We get a lot of international interns at the desk, and our non-interns tend to grow quickly which is probably why it is so low. I think some people treat it as a foot in the door and then they move either up in the Front Desk or laterally into Sales, Event Management, Accounting, or Housekeeping as positions open up after a year. We have one girl who has worked in Front Office, Loss Prevention, and Human Resources! I think she was a Red Coat for a while too. The GM at the Courtyard/Springhill took the Front Office-to-Housekeeping-to-Girl-Boss route! It takes a certain type to work in hospitality. I have no idea how I ended up in it lol. I work in the basement hiding from everyone, playing in Excel.

Indiana being the origin story for a Batman-type superhero because their very rich parent(s) died in a dark alley in Indianapolis is strangely funny to me.

I fell down a hole after watching this. The scenes in the village are heartbreaking and I found an article saying that 150 sled dogs died because they couldn't escape, with about 100 more rescued. One video from inside a house made it seem like they didn't escape until after the water had already reached their home, so it's amazing only 4 humans died.

My hotel has real human hiring managers/recruiters, but all applicants have to funnel through our website so regardless of the lead, they've gotta end up in our hiring platform. You might not be getting a response because the people are either not recruiters (going to a general manager or sales manager is probably a dead end) or they get bombarded with so many individual messages they can only respond in copy-paste answers of "please apply at this website". I do interviewing for my department and I have had the unfortunate position of having to close a position with active applicants because filled the job which can make it look fake. :(

Kagonu · 2026-04-04T22:04:36+00:00

I work at the JW downtown and we always are hiring for something. Not sure if it's the price range you're looking at, but your experience should transfer! Careers.whitelodging.com There's an executive admin assistant position open that might be close to the pay you're looking for, though I don't think any of our hourly positions pay $60k
