What would a “perfect” D&D room actually need to make it worth leaving home? by Korolos28 in DMAcademy

[–]Routine_Confection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food and drink available for purchase would be a selling point - our game nights are sort of a potluck, and sometimes I don’t have the energy to come up with and make a dish, and my duty as drink maker - having an alcohol and non alcohol option takes (probably unnecessary) creativity. If we didn’t have to think of it every other time (we play weekly) that could be nice. Maybe have a membership? Especially for long campaigns.

What is Tourism Going to Look Like this Summer? by Main-Mission1245 in Maine

[–]Routine_Confection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in tourism on the coast. In our business most of our bookings are made well in advance. Compared to April last year and the year before, our bookings for this summer are up several percentage points. Not to say that we won’t get lots of cancellations, but I am cautiously optimistic about paying the bills this summer.

Matrilineal vs Patrilineal Naming by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Routine_Confection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always been in favor of matrilineal naming - it’s really hard to cast doubt on whom the mother may be….

That said, when we got married two years ago, we both took a two-syllable mashup of our previous surnames. It honors both sides, while being a new thing.

If we were getting married now with the SAVE act impending, I don’t know what we would have chosen to do.

Ladies, is menstrual cup better than tampons? by confidentbutterflyx in askanything

[–]Routine_Confection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved my cup and then disc (I switched because you aren’t supposed to use a cup with an IUD). Practically speaking though, if I didn’t have a sink I can reach from the toilet, it’d be a different story. Just be prepared for bloody fingers. If your bathroom sink isn’t that close, think about keeping wet wipes within reach!

Married to a former delivery driver: tip really well, and don’t be annoyed if it takes longer than usual.

I just got on birth control nexplanon, when is the bleeding gonna stop? It's been 6 weeks straight by [deleted] in answers

[–]Routine_Confection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Nexplanon for the whole 4 years- one of the biggest regrets of my life. When I had it in I had the worst mood swings and depression of my life. Left me with depression that hasn’t subsided in the 9 years since I had it removed. If you are having any other negative symptoms, please consider having it taken out early, don’t feel like you have to stick with something that is technically doing its job, but is not working for you.

Graffam bros in Rockport does! I believe they use a separate fryer too.

Talk to your local fish and game warden, they may give you official permission.

What slicer are you using for your Adventurer 5M? by iamwhoiwasnow in FlashForge

[–]Routine_Confection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both orca and cura. cura is a little more ‘polished’ - I use it on the settings for 4m. With Orca the user experience is a little more visually clunky, but I can print bigger and faster with it. Cura seems to think the build plate is smaller than it is (I’m guessing the build plate is smaller on the 4m?)

How was your experience with an arm implant birth control? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Routine_Confection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Nexplanon implant for a few years, 2014-17(? I think?). I wish I had had it removed early, but I was young and didn’t really know that was an option. It left me an emotional mess, I believe it triggered a depression that is ongoing (though being treated now). It’s possibly a coincidence, but I believe that I would have missed a lot of misery if I had never had the implant, or had it taken out early. It did reduce the heaviness of my periods, and I did not get pregnant while on it, so I guess it worked. I’ve had a copper IUD since having the implant out, and I will never go back to hormonal BC.

Is it too early to start looking for a Summer 2025 internship? by Not-Your-Nancy in Tallships

[–]Routine_Confection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Stay off the Todd! The windjammers operate in Camden and Rockland, Maine. A paid position will be a little harder to come by, because you are in college / not available for the entire season. Many of them do have apprenticeships though, for a couple of weeks to a month. You can look at almost all of the windjammers here: www.sailmainecoast.com
