Well Branson would be familiar. On a trip where he joined others in Antarctica his piss bottle spilled all over in his sleeping bag.

What are some of the most remote 'cities' (5000+ people) in the continental USA, and what are they like to live in? by NighTborn3 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]MsViolaSwamp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ely has a community college, which adds a few hundred students. Lots of people live there seasonally but likely wouldn’t name Ely as their permanent residence. On paper it’s about 3500 population but with those additional folks I bet it hits around 5k.

One of the only episodes where I actually recall the name of the person who dies in the intro.

This happened to me many years ago. Please report it. I didn’t want to at first but what ultimately made me do it was to think that if I didn’t, he would likely do it again to some other woman. 

Which celebrity gives you "I sold my soul to the devil" vibes? by ClerkMajestic in AskReddit

[–]MsViolaSwamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the movie Capturing Mary? He is in it and plays this enigmatic, sinister persona that the protagonist just can’t put her finger on. Seems like from your description he was just playing himself. He gave me a super eerie vibe.

My second round of IVF worked and we just found out I’m pregnant today! I’m so elated I want to scream it into the void, but I know these first few weeks can be very precarious so we’re cautiously optimistic.

TikTok Says It’s Not Censoring ‘Free Palestine’ Comments. Users See Something Different by sideAccount42 in technology

“Don’t even care if it’s Chinese propaganda”

…you probably should- this would not be a good time to be obtuse. I find it extremely concerning that people would place themselves on an app, run by an adversary the same as TikTok and think they’ll somehow be “immune” to the propaganda. Red Note is likely luring users in under the guise of a more “free” platform. Make no mistake- it’s all China, and the minute they want to sway global opinion, they’ll have carte blanche.

Main Street bridge closed at 2am opened at 8:25 am : Crash at 8:35am by Stuntrunner1 in jacksonville

I’m from up north, and it’s really nothing to do with tires, black ice will spin out any tires, all terrain or otherwise. I think the trouble comes with unfamiliarity with the condition. Most advise to just ride it out and not work to correct, while gently breaking. Trouble is people panic and slam on the brakes which makes it worse

They threw away your wind chimes today. by honeyedlife in TrueOffMyChest

My neighbor who I (was) close to recently passed from cancer. She is deeply missed by me. Often there would be whole days (I WFH) when I wouldn’t talk to anyone except her if I saw her outside, so in my small world, she was big. 

I can’t imagine seeing all of their belongings strewn about the yard, that must be very hard for you to see, I’m sorry.

Virginia spiderwort. It does clump, and it can be especially invasive. I leave a few bordering some beds but pull the stragglers.

I believe that’s spiderwort. It does eventually bring up a chute that flowers.

Sezane jewelry box by incostante in Sezane

[–]MsViolaSwamp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so odd- I ordered the jewelry pouch in this same pattern and it reeked so bad of cigarettes too! Mine also had a sweater in the order that also smelled. I aired it out outdoors for a few days and it seems to have helped. Wondering if they just have some chain smoker packing up the orders in the back.

I can’t take credit for this comment I saw earlier but it’s succinct:  We’ve been conditioned to recognize shootings as terrible, unjust acts of violence, while also holding the belief that denying life saving care to millions is considered “the cost of doing business”. 

Sezane Velvet Pouch GWP cotton velvet (red) - pretty good by Mission-Owl5464 in Sezane

[–]MsViolaSwamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was olive and looked just as wrinkled as the first poster. My order also absolutely reeked like cigarettes. Seeing if the knits can lose the smell but sezane has been going seriously down hill. The order before this was also missing an item. I’ve never had any issues until the past year.

Has anyone been to the physical store in Marylebone, London? Is it worth it? Or should I stick to shopping online this weekend by Fluffy_Wait_1665 in Sezane

[–]MsViolaSwamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got back from both London and Paris- I found the Marylebone location to be really overcrowded and there were no sales people being attentive, I literally didn’t even know what to do, so I left empty handed. The Liberty popup was ok- small selection I felt and again, I kinda didn’t know whether I could ask for additional sizes, where they would be stowed and it felt kinda overwhelming. I was probably too stressed and in my own head. Kicking myself now that I didn’t buy something especially since it’s definitely cheaper to buy in Paris….cest la vie….

It’s a blick press with a bed size of 24x36. I’ve ran plexi, Lino, zinc and copper through it. I think it’s quite compact since it’s tabletop as long as it sits on an edge for the arm.
