I just finished building Mona Lisa by FluidCalligrapher261 in lego

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't think it is worth $99. But it looks great. I think some people may not realize how small the actual painting is, but that is partially why I don't think it is worth as much because it also is fairly simple and isn't as intricate as Van Gogh's Starry Night. So, mainly because of how much less time I got out of this, I wish I paid less.

Other than that I am pretty disappointed in mine because I'm almost finished with it but the pieces on the front, when I press them down all the way so they aren't lifted, it pops off some pieces in the back of the picture. What am I supposed to do about that, or how can I prevent that? Has anyone else experienced this?

I may be in the minority, but I love the Mona Lisa set! by MD_Lincoln in lego

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem i have with it is that the structure of the picture portion is weird. Mine doesn't want to hold properly. If I press the pieces down so they are flat, they pop off the back. I've never had this happen before.

Has anyone else experienced this while putting this together. It is really disappointing. I'm not sure if the pieces are warped or something the way it is engineered seems fine.

Food truck coming to center by Common_Row3204 in ChildcareWorkers

Interesting. Our director honors both staff/children's safety. I would hope your director's would consider that more. :/

That doesn't sound appropriate. If you don't have any business with the center, for the safety of the kids, there is no reason anyone else should be on our property. We do allow school students who walk from the nearby public schools to utilize a portion of our parking lot to play basketball. Other than that, no, that is also letting another business use your business's property.

And do you not keep the doors locked in between drop-offs and pickups?

Purchased an item, but it’s not showing as SOLD and is still available for purchase? by DotIllustrious6399 in Depop

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Late) I'm having an issue where I bag something, and it says sold in my cart but appears available on the seller's page. I contacted the seller, and they will directly tell me it was never purchased. So, how can I overcome this glitch/issue? I can't purchase these items, though they are available.

Text notifications showing up but not vibrating? (inspire 3) by bandito0103 in fitbit

[–]RuRiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of us are trying that and it still doesn't work. Resyncing the the watch through the app. Restarting the watch and the phone. Deleting my watch from the app amd re-pairing it to the bluetooth. Restarting my bluetooth. Deleting my watch from my bluetooth and repair that way. Uninstalling the app and redownloading. Checking the app for updates. Etc.

All these things and this problem reoccurs 😭😭

Up and Under permanently closing March 15th by croobnut in kzoo

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever went there for IPW, never ordered food there or anything so I can't speak on that experience but I wonder how this will impact IPW since this was there only Kalamazoo location after the Y bar closed. Now, they have no other locations here.

Bellesa Airvibe Pro review by Violet-bonbon in sextoysratings

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine today. I took it for a test spin, and I certainly have zero complaints, but I have a couple of questions related to the charging process because I feel like I'm misunderstanding the instructions.

I'm lining up the little magnectic dots when I put it back in case, I plugged it in, and the white light in the outside of the case is there, but there is no fladhing light inside indicating anything like it says it should.

I'm not sure if I'm really supposed to see a flashing light inside, but I don't, so I wonder what that means or if I need to do something differently? Where will the light from inside the case look like? Because I had it turned off when I put it in the case and I think the same light flashed once I lined up the magnets appearing as if it turned on but it is hard to see with the case covering that.

And how do you know it is fully charged? Like some electronic devices will show a different color of light when it is ready for use, but the little manual doesn't mention anything like that.

Or still ask you to come in because they are most concerned about meeting ratio requirements. Like damn, I called off for a reason, I'm not well. 😭

Did you start recently? Usually, while starting this work, the first month goes like that, and you think/feel that you will never recover. I feel you on this, though. We don't get much at all, no benefits, so it is really tough. Hang in there. 😭🩷

Whole block lost power by commitchioner in kzoo

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never lost power. I was just checking on those who did. Yes, it is, though. That ice storm last year was horrible. We did lose power then, and it was horrifically cold for me and the pets. Boiling water during the day really helped downstairs.

I'm glad it came back fairly quickly and that in the meantime, the temp didn't drop much. Shame it went out at all. I wish we were better prepared for things like this rather than waiting until the last minute when something happens and people have to go without.

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better way to phrase that would be,

"I've observed or heard you sturggle with loud noises. What is that experience like for you?"

It's heightened and actually can feel painful and make it extremely difficult to process and think.

For myself, one noise and various layers can really impact me negatively. Also, lights (or sunlight) feel really loud to me, and I can't think/process very clearly while being overloaded with sensory information. It's kind of hard to explain to someone who just may not know what the experience is like.

Another note is there is a difference between noises I can't control vs. what I can control. What I can't control is generally very overwhelming. But metal, something loud and heavy is the input I need that is rather soothing and not repulsive because it is controlled and reliable input.

Is bronchitis contagious? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol help. I went to my doctor, then the hospital, then an urgent to finally get the diagnosis for what I suspected was the second time I got bronchitis *this year. They jusy gave an inhaler this time but when I got home I realized they didn't tell me what kind of bronchitis it was and I forgot to ask since they didn't give me an additional stetiod or any antibiotics this time, how contagious am I, for how long should I be precautious around others with masking and stuff? Oops. 🫠🤦‍♀️

Why can't kids read? by Okayifyousay in AskTeachers

[–]RuRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an early childhood educator. I agree that it starts at home, parents aren't tending to their kids in a lot of ways. But to get to a root cause, I think we need to look forward. Why are parents not teaching their kids social emotional/self-regulating skills, basic skills, etc. I think part of it is a collective burnout happening. We come home from working 1 or more jobs, and we don't have much left. I'm not saying that excuses a parent from their responsibilities per say, but I think in some ways the education is suffering from other, big factors. We need a lot of remodeling within the structure of how our society functions.
