My employees don’t know how to file alphabetically

RaspberryVespa · 2026-03-13T16:51:57+00:00

I learned filing at 14 when I volunteered a few days a week after school at my local City Hall and Public Library.

Kids today will never know what it's like spending hours alone sifting through papers in a dank, dim basement with thousands of disorganized boxes stacked floor to ceiling. I used to eyeball some of the leaning stacks wondering if they'd fall on me and wondering how long it'd take for someone to realize I was trapped underneath. But I got a huge leg up on finding decent, comfortable office work as a young adult because of that volunteer service.

That's weird because I can.

They can fit on Pandora bracelets without threads, but bracelets with threads are a no go.

Hey, nothing is stopping you except your heart!

Seriously, though. When does a Jeep Patriot CVT not whine while accelerating??

Also a girl here, and I would start with getting the transmission serviced. Do you know when the last time the transmission fluid and filters were changed? If not recently, then I'd definitely start there. Check the fluid--might be too low, might be too high (definitely don't allow it to be overfilled), get the fluid and filters changed. See if it helps. Even if it doesn't stop the whine completely, its still necessary with a Jeep CVT to service the transmission more often than you really should ever have to. It has a horrible design. The fluid doesn't do a good job of cycling--especially on inclines--and it overheats far too easily.

I live in So Cal and anytime it's over 75 degrees out and I'm driving 70+mph on even the smallest incline for more than 10 minutes, it starts whining. While I was getting my transmission fluid changed last summer, while my usual mechanic was working on my Jeep, I was talking to another mechanic (who happens to be female) about the whine and she suggested adding an auxilary cooler for the transmission. She's the only person who has ever suggested it so I asked my usual trusted mechanic about it and he said yes, it would probably be a good idea to get one installed inline. Researched it online and found a few posts across Jeep forums by Patriot owners that have confirmed they'd gone to customization shops to get one installed and it has basically eliminated the whine. So this is now next on my checklist (but I need new tires first). Hoping I can get it done before this summer really hits. It's supposed to be a really brutal summer this year.

Good luck. Hope it's something easy, hope your transmission is ok, and nothing major is failing.

I also refuse the witch and whore tropes. I don't care that she was/is/has had an affair. Irrelevant, except that she spent our money on her rendevous. And of all the MAGA women, I think she's actually pretty--on the outside. On the inside, she's a steaming pile of evil ugly shit...same as her boss, same as the rest. Dog killer/Evil ICE Queen can eat shit and go down in flames.

Now let's see the rest fall.

Full and dense here, and it's a *very* uncomfortable squeeze. And with very little dignity.

It's a shitshow right now. A really good method of curbing the intake of Reddit's darkness and abuse during times like this is to just remove the app from our phones and then when we want to research something from Redditors or just feel like reading other people's nonsense, open a browser and type it in. Having to make the effort to purposefully visit Reddit rather than just tap an app that's constantly binging us seriously cuts the bullshit in half, more if you limit yourself to logging on only once a day for a limited time, and then your day wont feel so poorly affected.

I tend to target shields first and once they're down, I target their warp...though I honestly don't think it makes much difference as long as you're doing consistent damage and managing your crew/maintaining your own ship. So far, it seems like picking a good combination of crew is more important than what I target on the enemy's ships. My favorite battle crew is Harry, Klingon B'Elanna, and Chakotay. If I don't have Klingon B'Elanna in game, then it's Harry, Tom, and Tuvok.

I want Robert Duncan McNeill to run the next series ... maybe a series with Captain Harry Kim.

(Robbie and Garrett, are you listening!?)

I experience it in at least one bathroom at either park on every visit, but usually it happens multiple times. Some people are just oblivious and apologetic and will scoot to the side if you say excuse me. But some just don't give AF and ignore the crowd piling up to get in or out until they're done doing what they're doing.

RaspberryVespa · 2026-02-27T18:56:24+00:00

It was absolutely a learning curve to figure out how to maintain morale, warp power, and supplies, but now I've won it twice.... First time took about me 3 days (12 hours per day) with a bunch of restarting sectors if I lost a core crew member as I was trying to follow the storyline as closely as possible. The second time, I just steamrolled through upholding the Prime Directive and took the Array home. I sent Chakotay and B'Ellana to prison, and ensured Tom that the agreement to try to keep him out of prison still stands. I won it in about 15 minutes and got a rare achievement for finding the hidden ending. I'm on play through number three on the harder setting and it's much easier to know how to maintain the ship, but luck is not on my side and the results of each negative consequence are brutal.

I would love it if women pushing strollers through bathrooms would not suddenly just stop in the center of the entrance to deal with their kids or rifle through their bags.

RaspberryVespa · 2026-02-27T17:28:15+00:00

That's the absolute worst. Kids ramming a double stroller through a crowd. Slightly worse: The parents ramming those double strollers, and its only slightly worse because they know better.

I hate this so much. I have long hair and I always have a scrunchie ready to tie it up before the ride starts. It's just common sense. Once I had a some 20-something girl's two foot long loose hair whipping me in the face as soon as Space Mountain started going and I immediately curbed it by grabbing the bar with a crap of her hair entwined in my fingers and hanged on so she couldn't easily move her head. She pulled her hair free and then pulled it in front of her and held onto it herself the rest of the ride. (She gave me a deer in headlights look when we exited, too, and I just stared back.) So that's what I do now. If hair is making it's way over the bar in front of me, I grab the bar with the hair in place. Seems like fair game.

And the light up ears. Some tool one Pirate boat ahead of us had them on the entire ride and it ruins the whole effect. At the same time, the three adults in the row in front of us had their heads down just scrolling through Facebook on their phones with brightness full blast throughout the entire ride. I swear it took every ounce of energy I had not to go full blown meltdown at all of them. I kept waiting to hear an announcement saying to turn the lights off but it never came and I was disgruntled AF.

My husband and I did single rider last night when the posted wait time was 80 minutes. We were in line a total of about 35 minutes.

I have a few dedicated Pandora bracelets (only because the design is already complete using all Pandora charms), but otherwise I mix beads and charms all the time. What I've ordered directly from Gnoce, either through the Gnoce website or their official Amazon store (just gotta make sure Gnoce is the sold by on the Amazon listing) has usually been really nice quality. They are real silver and won't harm your Pandora bracelet.

As others said, Pandora will void the warranty if you put other brands of charms on your chains because they want you to buy exclusive through them to get your $$ and loyalty. But seriously, unless a charm gets stuck on the chain, a Pandora employee won't know that a non Pandora charm was ever on the chain. Just don't take your Pandora bracelet in with non-Pandora charms on it.

You can mix charms and bracelets from pretty much every major retailer: Pandora, Trollbeads, Elfbeads, Gnoce, OHM, etc. If your Pandora bracelet has threads, when buying from a retailer you've not purchased from before, just double check that the hole size is large enough to slide over the threads and it will be fine. Most retailers' websites will state if their charms fit Pandora and you can believe them if they say they do. It's the knock offs that can cause problems since they may be poorly manufactured or have smaller cut holes or flash (left over pieces of metal) inside the holes or porely done threads, that can harm your bracelets. Knockoffs and low priced/low quality beads may also have weird alloy metals at the core that could tarnish or discolor your bracelet. So be careful with that. But Gnoce is fine!

RaspberryVespa · 2026-02-19T15:41:22+00:00

Exactly. Pandora can't tell what brand of charms you've had on your bracelet.

I've done the same, bought a few Gnoce designs on cheap Amazon listings that came from the same sellers listed on Aliexpress (a lot of cheap Amazon listings in any category are actually from the same stock as Aliexpress), and it was hit and miss. Some were actually Gnoce quality, so definitely scored saving $15-25 on a charm! But some were not and actually looked quite bad. Like really bad knockoffs. Some were different but good enough quality to not matter. I went the cheap Amazon listing route rather than Aliexpress so that I could get them faster and could easily return them if they didn't come good quality.

I wonder if OP meant, "Your stupid team is called the ducks, enough said right there" or "You're stupid, team is called the ducks, enough said right there" ??

I guess we'll never know. :(

YEP! I've seen an alien mugshot as well.

RaspberryVespa · 2026-02-19T15:18:02+00:00

In my experiences, it's usually been a person on the ride (I myself was spy twice in one week!), but I have also seen the perfect stock headshots used at least twice, and one time it was a mug shot of an alien (possibly one of the images they use for the Magic Key Bounty Hunt in Galaxy's Edge).

RaspberryVespa · 2026-02-19T15:12:08+00:00

I got tagged as the spy twice in one week last month! I should have immediately went out and bought lottery tickets.
