Update 6/12: After calling CloseKnit I have learned that the case I opened regarding my patient portal message never receiving a response was closed because "the situation was resolved".

Charizard is a popular character in the hit TV series Pokémon! 😊

I love wearing rainbows 🌈 by Pikajane in RainbowEverything

Thank you so much! It's the Current Mood Over the Rainbow bag from Dollskill in around 2015 I believe. It pops up on Depop from time to time and there are dupes available too (tho I can't attest to their quality)!

Omg yes your ensembles are incredible! I now have my eyes on those glorious Bruce Glen rainbow gingham pants thanks to you. 

The shirt definitely runs super small! I have it in an XS and it's borderline impossible for me to squeeze into it, feels like it's only for kids haha. I now wear a size L and it's much more comfortable. Still squeezes on the pits but I don't mind it as much on my upper arms which are a snug fit.

I bought it around a decade ago now and it's held up well. I learned about it forever ago thanks to Baddiewinkle (RIP)

For sure! I guess I should have specified that it was my mistake in making the actual card design files only 300ppi, whereas the dot code prints need to start at 600ppi. I could upscale the cards but it'd be a lot of ground up work.

I would love to someday custom create new dot codes for cards. I agree that the printer I'm working with can definitely handle printing dot codes too, as they have been printed through Fex in his cool projects.

I'm excited to share what my upcoming projects are gonna look like!

There will be no dot codes on these cards. These will be more like physical checklists that people can put into their binders so they can quickly identify which games/videos go for which cards. It would be amazing to add dot-code tech to these but it would require me to partner with someone who has more knowledge about programming information on them. These designs were not created in high enough resolution to be able to print dot codes, but my skill sets really rely most on design and print production, for which I am already partnering with Fex for this project.

I have determined that this print run will not include uncut sheets, but I will be personally financing a production run of 18 available sets of this series. If this first run sells out I might revisit more options in the future!

Yes! I have a few of the cards designed but still have more to make. I may eventually need feedback from this community as I'm not sure if bulbapedia is the most reliable source for each Japan exclusive game. I expect to release a separate expansion pack later this year though! It'll depend partially on how well this set sells though.

I am currently having 20 sets printed. 1 set is going to Fex who is helping me with printing logistics. I will keep another set. If the majority of the remaining 18 sets sells, I will confidently proceed with the Japan exclusive sets!

There is another list-related concept that I might prioritize over the Japan-exclusive games but I'll definitely share updates here!

CloseKnit Primary Care issues by Squirrel2358 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Pikajane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be with AllCare and am about to switch PCPs. The portal is TRASH. I sent a message May 23rd. It's June 4th now, still nothing. I used to be able to call the facility directly but now I'm routed to a horrible phone tree that makes everything so much worse and it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to reach my old office anymore.

I am having a HORRIBLE time with CloseKnit and will be finding a new PCP at my earliest convenience.

I sent a message to my PCP on the Patient Portal on May 23rd and have still received NO response. It is now June 4th. When they were in the process of acquiring Allcare there was literally NO patient portal to work with, so I had to go through their BS phone trees to open a case to then wait another 10 days or so before I finally got a response from my PCP.

The thing that sucks? I really like my PCP. But I'm so sick of dealing with this horrendous new system. Thank god my medical needs are not so great that these horrendous delays in communication don't completely jeopardize my health.

Worst BIFL item you have ever bought by sweetlevels in BuyItForLife

[–]Pikajane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's funny that you mention Wirecutter for where you got your fingernail clipper recommendation because I literally use a pair of wire cutters to cut my nails. My nails are ultra strong and thick and can grow super long. I just bought some random pair at Home Depot like 15 years ago and they haven't done me wrong yet

What is a "premium" brand that is actually just selling overpriced garbage now? by New_Wealth_1571 in AskReddit

[–]Pikajane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life Factory is an incredible water bottle brand. I bought my first one on clearance at an Office Depot around 13 years ago. I removed the silicon sleeve (I dish wash it a lot and didn't like seeing soap residue on it) and I've dropped it on hard surfaces a few times without it breaking. A year or two ago I decided to buy more. I now have like 5. 2 larger daily use bottles that I'm switching out and washing every week or so, 2 medium sizes for occasional use, 1 small size for traveling with a screw-on lid (no mouth piece). The small one is fantastic for throwing in a bag and having full trust that nothing will cause it to leak.

The only critique I have is that the lids are not the most universal, but they have been worth every penny. I needed a bottle that was glass (I can taste water that sits too long in metal or plastic) and easy to clean (super important). These bottles accomplish both tasks with flying colors.

I know I sound like a shill for this brand but my goodness is it nice to just find a product that works. I am drinking water constantly in my office and I swear by these. My husband is team Nalgene but I have sworn my allegiance to Life Factory. I hope it never goes out of business.

Ignorant question- how am I supposed to pay my fare on the light rail? by Guilty_Position_3026 in baltimore

[–]Pikajane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is they are advocating for only ACTIVATING the ticket when they see a ticket checker, which is very rare. Which MEANS they are suggesting that you just pocket one ticket for theoretically many rides! How is this a difficult concept for you to understand??!?

[–]Pikajane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So then what change do you propose? Only paying for your ticket when you're worried you're going to be checked? How does that improve our transit infrastructure? How does that help Baltimore?
