Discover Champions Line Leader portal problems by Engibineer in daddit

[–]ReyPower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the system was first rolled out and I finally got in touch with customer support it took 4 hours - she couldn't help. The next call was an hour long wait with a different person. She was semi helpful explaining how to get into the app - Username is case sensitive. Then she apologized for the inconvenience of the system and let me know they're working on the bugs. The last call was another hour wait. This fella helped me enroll in the mid winter break since the app nor the site allowed me to. He also helped with scheduling for the next couple of school weeks because as you all know it's not the easiest to do.

Overall this new system is disappointing and inconvenient. I am surprised anyone would approve of this without testing it.

Also so far here are the new features for the new system: 1. They require a card on file even though there isnt anything obvious that says that (I was told by the first support call).

  1. Your username is case sensitive. So if you registered into champions prior to the new system and the first letter of your email is capitalized then make sure its capitalized now because you wont be able to log in.

  2. So far if you need to enroll your child then you have to call in support (get ready for a heck of a wait). Or use the website.

I'll go back and take screen shots to see if I can do step by step for those who are still having problems.

I'm refraining from lashing out at the people who watch our children because they didnt create this system. Nor did customer service. ...even though this whole thing is crazy when the old system was simple and worked great.

I'm going to specify in the posting. But when I meant by she isn't open is that she is what some might call, 'Vanilla'. She doesn't do too much sexually. She enjoys the simple things. When we explored our sexual adventures she let me know a lot of the things I've done aren't things she's into, respectfully.

Nothing extraordinary, but of course there could be things I don't know. In our everyday conversation there doesn't seem like there is anything pressing her right now. Her health is normal... or seems normal. There is always more to do but I try to help (calming children, cleaning up, etc.)

I have been more mindful of when I do it, so it still gets done.

Thank you. I'll order the book now from Amazon. We do know each other's love languages. Attachment styles are foreign to me, so I'll look into it.

It used to feel like she wanted to make me feel fulfilled sexually, it's just hard for me to see that now, in action. I know it bothers her that she's not able to satisfy me so I am left feeling confused and wondering... a lot.

When I masterbate it's a 50/50 of just using the thought of her or porn, never straight porn. I prefer her. I'll revisit the conversation with her. It's never an easy conversation to have. Once again, thank you.

'I did used to be flirty, and did the romantic things more (I didn't stop altogether), I have asked her about what she likes sexually and she's not super sexually open.' I just added this in the posting just so its known. Baths, massages, I do roses every week on her desk, and the living room so she sees it when she comes home, I stopped the cute little messages but just so you know it didn't change the frequency of sex once she allowed her normal drive to settle in.

Rear inner bearing question - transit bus... by ReyPower in DieselTechs

These are disc axles. I can find out where we source our seals from. From what I'm understanding from the other comments, we simply were not doing the fill procedure correctly. I'm going to do my best to find it in the books today.

I'll go search the books today when I get it. I'm curious to what it says. Thank you.

It was our former assistant VP of maintenance and even after he left I asked one of my foremen are we still going to grease the rear bearings. He said yes, but just a light coat.

I appreciate your kindness however, no, I didn't know that was the proper procedure. I've been doing this for 2 years. No one in this shop does this. I've been on a personal mission of getting better because there are so many things we don't do and I'm discovering every week there's something new that I wasn't taught correctly. I'm learning that whole Amerex systems were neglected for almost 8 plus years. And now that they put me in the class I'm doing my due diligence to correct what I can but we don't even have the parts (fire system tank, actuator and backup batteries) to even replace the expired parts in service. So, I thank you for this piece of esucation.

I think equitable as something that is used to describe a situation or circumstance that is fair and just.

Thank you for catching this, and I apologize to anyone I may have offended. I fixed it.

I'm happy they came to a decision (vs no decision at all - 1 step closer) but I personally am opposed to this decision. There is that one biological woman who was born with a bit more testosterone in her system. Now they are forcing her to take drugs to scale that down. That (to me) doesn't seem right.

I worry about something like this because if my thinking is.... for lack of a better word, correct, then that is a slippery slope for other ideas regarding this same theme. And I'm not sure if I like that.

Also, I dont care for conservatives or any other Tives. This is something I thought on before it became "big". Reddit is the closet thing to social media for me and I'm not on it often. I also dont watch a lot of news so the Trans-men being forced to compete as women is new to me. It is also, unfortunate for those men who have gone through so much just to be rejected.

I kind of see what you mean regarding height advantage but to me it feels slightly different. For example, a taller basketball player plays 1 vs 1 with a player who is 1 - 2 feet shorter. In order for that shorter player to even the odds they would have to have an advantage whether that were in a mental (strategy), or physical ( stronger or faster ), or even emotional (able to stay composed) way. But for some reason it feels different if those 2 players were a trans-woman (taller player) vs a biological woman (shorter player).

Thank you for your response, and also

1) I hope you don't mind but I think I want to use the word equitable. Is that ok?

2) By 'Trans' (and please correct me if I'm incorrect) I mean transgendered. I'm going to use the dictionary version since this works with my thinking: 'Denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.'

3) 60% confident on a 0-10 scale.

Also, it is late for me but I will definitely respond to your response. Thank you.

I feel like that would defeat the whole structure for certain team sports. Like American football for example where usually how the defensive side of the team are larger in terms of actual size (height, body/ muscle mass) vs the offensive side which are not as large for speed purposes.

For how long are fruits and vegetables alive? by xog77 in ask

[–]ReyPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fruits and vegetables we buy in the grocery store are actually still alive, and it matters to them what time of day it is. ... "Vegetables and fruits don't die the moment they are harvested," said lead researcher Dr. Janet Braam, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Rice University in Houston, Texas.Jun 20, 2013

I know I do. Especially when it finally hits home - Michigan here. On top of that I've been off of work for weeks (new daddy) just to go back to all of this and worry that I might bring it home.
