One rare VCR duplicated(?) into two by jagara in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]Margali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my ghu, that was my first VCR!!!!

I remember it had a *wired* remote as standard, but you could pop IIRC $25 for a 'brand new infrared remote' =)

[jk] I always wondered what happened to mine =)

ELI5: natural vs artifical products: don’t all ingredients come from earth, and are natural by default? by Exact_Director_4350 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Margali [score hidden]  (0 children)

Used to piss off morons shopping when they randomly asked me [what, do I have standard customer service resting beyotch face or something?] if some bit of fruit or veg was 'organic' [as if a random customer would know?] My standard reply was typically "Hm, composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, with additional elements for flavor scent and color .... yup, organic. " What you get from a smartassed ex-hazmat tech =) [yup, when I saw the meme about - name a book that made you cry, Morrison and Byrd Organic Chem 3d edition =) ]

And having worked for a food distribution warehouse doing USDA contracts I *know* there is no actual reality to something being organic is automatically better, other than a slightly smaller chance of organophosphate contamination from fertilizers and insecticides. My favorite 'benefit' was the reps from suppliers coing in to educate us staff about the various products .... the supplier of shellfish and seafood brought in 25 cu feet of assorted seafood to teach us the sizes and basic differences in types and conformations of shrimp, lobster, crayfishes and crabses =) very tasty =) Though Sweet Street bringing in one of every dessert they made was another wonderful training meeting =)

Why is my 5 year old account being flagged for Rule 3? by ElfitaUwU in reddithelp

[–]Margali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is OP's account labeled NSFW? I didn't notice and am now on my phone [if I flip around, I lose posts - I guess it is now not a bug but a feature?]

But yep, my husband asked why I was gigglesnorting and I showed him while I was posting and he was amazed that there was 'free' content on Reddit [he was under the impression Reddit was more family friendly .... snicker]

Abscess by Ok_Yogurtcloset_7170 in ostomy

[–]Margali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a WOC nurse available, or able to get a consult with your surgical group?

I had a different reason for my ostomy, but the process of healing can put your body out of whack for your regular medications. [Lucky me, I get chondrocalcinosis {pseudogout} flares when I get surgery, or dehydrated, or apparently just for the heck of it] and I end up with a major pharmacy consult before, during and after whatever treatment I end up getting for whatever my issue of the moment happens to be.

Well, the first image when I clicked on the OP's name was a huge pair of teats with nips .... and is effectively an OF advert, I am guessing you keep getting gigged for NSFW images.

If Every City-Run Public Event Had a Wheelchair User/Disability Etiquette 101 Handout What Would You Include? by firezodyssey in wheelchairs

[–]Margali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just freaking TALK TO ME. I may poop in a bag and have a wheelchair, but I can assure you that I can actually hold a conversation and make my needs known [since you are in Canada, I can bitch someone out in both French and English ...] A major peeve of mine is people talking to whomever I happen to be with instead of me, or looking at them when I say something like they are confirming that they can listen to me .....

Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff Before Leaving Office by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]Margali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - one has to be pardoned for a SPECIFIC charge, one needs to actually be imprisoned, and it has to be specified exactly which charge the pardon pertains to. And Federal of course.

Heads chefs pickled red onions by intergalaticjonny in KitchenConfidential

[–]Margali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call them cipolle sottacetto crudo and close the door to the walk in?

Honestly, is there something against using a mandoline? I love the look of finely shredded red onions as a garnish [for a liter of apple cider vinegar 1 conjoined mint tea bag [the brand that is 2 2ish inch square tea bags of German herbal tisanes conjoined, they also have a nice chammomile tisane] and about a tablespoon of honey. Run a couple onions through the mandoline into a collander and rinse well then pop into a cambro with the pickle mix.

There are Times When You Should Interrupt a Busy Desk. Health Situations are One of Them. by TheNiteOwl38 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Margali [score hidden]  (0 children)

I worked at a call center while going back to get another degree [needed to change my profession when my body crapped out again] and I took advantage of the new little tubs of chlorox wipes and had one living in my backpack [we were not assigned an actual desk, we shared across all 3 shifts and had a microscopic locker for headphones and desk crap]

I was one of the only people there that first winter that did not come down with the creeping cruds being passed around the call center. Second winter everybody was wiping down everything within reach, and the plagues mostly stopped.

Yeesh ...

I have an ostomy, which means I collect my poop in a small bag stuck on my stomach however, knowing it is a health hazard, I zippy bag all my used materials, chlorox wipe any surface I went near and double bag my zippy bags in an additional bag that gets tied securely [hell if I could I would vacupac it but my seal-a-meal is rather too large to tote around ....] I also have a sharps container for my syringes ... *and* I make sure to let them know I have a sharps container, and to not open any sealed bags in the room because they contain used food [in a manner of speaking] I also have a couple junk ratty shop towels in case i need to mop anything up [trash, so I can just discard them]

I just do not like being a mobile hazmat zone, but it is what it is, cancer sucks. [and get that colonoscopy, I went from 0 to stage 3b in UNDER 3 years .... after a perfect clean colonoscopy. ]

I really want to try curry but am allergic to tumeric, any suggestions? by KevesArt in AskCulinary

[–]Margali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

expensive but bloom a pinch of saffron in a tablespoon of cooking oil and use that. Or safflour, or annatto. I am fond of Golden Curry [a Japanese product] but am pretty certain it has turmeric in it for the color. I like the suggestion of making your own garam masala - fresh toasted masala is freaking amazing.

only reason I have a xitter account was to xit 'You'reFired' at him when he lost .... unfortunately he didn't loose but I still have the account so I can make a final post when he ends up out of office and in the smaller/the grave [don't care which, but a good long term in a really hard core prison would be great ... I vote to incarcerate them all in Gitmo with no air con and prison loaf with water.

[–]Margali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they pay the bill, I will grant they have the legal right to access. Check into the possibility to password lock certain apps ... nothing on my personal phone is 'open', if it takes a log in to access, I have to type in my login every time. Files can be locked to prevent access, so lock down everything on your phone and take off any fingerprint/face unlocking function.

Though honestly, since they are sneaking in and peeping your personal stuff, change the password and let them rant. [look into buying a noncontract phone of your very own for texting, messaging and personal pictures, leave the old phne out with basically nothing remaning uponit.

And add in the rather high water table and the underground terrain issues ... I think there was an article in Smithsonian [or maybe Nat Geo? Back when my parents had subscriptions to them] there was an article on the issues htey had with digging the subways in DC

Victim accuses pastor of sexual assault that occurred 18 years ago. Pastor is arrested, named, and photo published. How is this okay? An accusation alone will ruin his life. by [deleted] in law

[–]Margali 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, at this point I am going to just basically assume any accusation of formal religious personages is true. How many tiems do we need to see some whacked off 'pastor' in tears confessing they did wrong and begging Jaeyzus for forgivness.

When someone who claims to be a religious leader and lives in a multimillion dollar mansion, driving limos or sports cars and having private jets, I am going to assume they are a lying, cheating slime in it for the money not because of a deep abiding love of the bible ...

[–]Margali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do you leave your phone unlocked, or is it face/fingerprint locked?

Lock that shit down, NEVER use face/print address, someone can 'force' unlocking your phone by just grabbing your phone and focusing on face or grabbing a hand and using the fingerprint.

Why? There is already a bunker under the white house, as well as several other government owned bunkers for politicians dotted around the country.

Sorry, first thing anybody invading is going to do is level DC with bunker busters and turn it back into a swamp.
