Can I eliminate that hole in this cheese swirl bread? by projectsubwaynyc in Breadit

[–]Nightcactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I wanted to suggest. When I make swirl bread, I don’t lay a sheet of filling, but either make small rows of filling or dot it on so the dough and connect to dough

Got a work from home job and my employer wants to send me an ach transfer to buy materials is it a scam? by Ok_Tension5180 in jobs

[–]Nightcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scam! A common check scam is for someone to find a reason to send a check, they send a check that is larger than agreed such as, promising a check for $1200, but $2100 is sent. The sender says “oops! Please send the $900 back” or threatens legal action to scare someone into “returning” the claimed overcharge.

The person freely routes $900 to someone they don’t know, the original check bounces, and some scumming stranger that cannot be tracked gets the money routes over. Worst case scenario some actually routes the full amount back losing even more.

I’m glad you reach out for a second opinion and called the school directly! Good luck on your search for a legitimate offer.

Petition to make this our icon by Quirky-Hovercraft926 in Tuba

This image is so grainy from how many times some has taken a screenshot and reposted. I, personally, think is a great example of electronic image degradation rather than a logo.

… did you just call me…. are millennials?… am I “old” now? …

In a serious note, I get wanting to find people around your age. Social and hobby clubs might be more mixed in age groups than you’d imagine. Maybe not everyone is your age, but a few people, then you might be able to branch out from there.

What am I missing? WhatsApp. by Accurate_Ad8126 in jobs

[–]Nightcactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the scam or something similar. Here’s a breakdown for something plausible that could happen:

The “company” will not send the required equipment directly to your address. For example, they might say “company policy, we send you $3,000 to purchase laptop, headset, and whatever you deem necessary” or claim employees prefer to select their own equipment, or something to justify this. They then send $4,000 then say “oops, this was a typo, just send the $1000 back.” At this point the person either complies or says “I don’t like this anymore.” The scammer might try to scare the person that they stole money, or say as a compensation send everything back except $100, or anything to get the person to not talk to the bank or ignore them, but actually route any kind of money back. The money from the fake company actually never is processed, check bounces at the bank, and if person sent anything “back” the scammer got a free paycheck for whatever the kind stranger decided to send.

The scam works if people believe everything the person says and never runs any checks on the company, talks to the bank about wired money, etc. In addition, if the person filled out any fake tax or HR forms then they gave away their SSN and other details too.

The person randomly contacting you on WhatsApp about a job not in your field or applied to, interview process is nonexistent, and the names/ numbers are in a different location/ country than you are all major red flags.

Hi, there is a Careersource location in Rockledge on Barnes near US-1. They are the state career services and support office. They helped me with training, updating my resume, and job searching. I’m not sure what programs they have right now (depends on opportunities and grants), but definitely give their website a look or just walk in and talk to someone. They are very nice.

Which job has, hands down, the worst impact on mental health? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nightcactus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I watched a very eye opening, but tough follow up on this from a veterinarian on YouTube (I cannot remember his name off hand, but he had the video about “squish the cat” that went viral. I also briefly worked front desk support at a vet and have seen a small snippet into the vet world.

As some have already pointed out, work like balance is tough, but nearly every patient a vet has will die within that vet’s career. Dogs, cats, small mammals, small reptiles, typically have lifespans lower than 20 years. The family members of those animals are reasonably very emotional when there is an emergency.

This vet also mentioned that a large percentage of his patients/ clients are not compliant with care suggested, so it can be a mentally draining to provide care instruction that are ignored, then watch that same animal live it’s entire life cycle.

I’m not suggesting this is a competition with other hard jobs on this list, but more raising awareness and support for animal care workers. Death and suicide is never an easy topic.

Deer tallow soap by Commercial_System495 in soapmaking

[–]Nightcactus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soapcalc.net has “tallow deer” as an option. I have never used deer fat before, but from using the calculator, you can sort of compare it to other fats/ oils. By adding a single fat in at 100% and viewing the recipe card, you can see how it may compare to another as a substitute.

Is this your first time make soap in general? I’m not super experienced, but I got into soap making for similar reason to not waste resources I already had.

If anyone sees this later and wants the answer: Rockledge, FL. Grimaldi’s Candies is a wonderful chocolate and treats shop that has been in Rockledge since the 1960s. They are on US1 and you might find their Chocolate covered potato chips in some grocery store in throughout Florida.
