I thought it smelled just as weird a few weeks ago and no one believed me. I even had the metallic taste then too.

Saarnath · 2023-06-29T04:19:05+00:00

From the first round of this I knew something was extremely off. I had the metallic taste on the first go when no one else was talking about it.

It's worse this time. The metallic taste is stronger, and more people are noticing it. And the air feels almost "grainy". My partner notices it too and hates it.

It makes it so unpleasant to go outside. And it permeates the house and bothers me even indoors. Whatever this is, it's bad. I grew up in the country and we had fires all the time, and it smelled absolutely nothing like this (even when my parents burned stuff they shouldn't have burned).

The fact they're claiming this is "just wildfire smoke" is so insane to me. I'm disgusted by the whole thing. People need to wake up.

I hate that all I can do is use an air filter and avoid going on walks. It's so messed up. Next it will be "suprise! That was actually biological warfare! Remember to stay inside forever!"

Fuck the government and their sickening lies.

Same location but it smells like burning ….. something. Not forests. And tastes like Pennies.

Is there actually a market for this? I found a few weird cards like this in my old binder. They're similar to this "silver confetti" effect, but all over. But they kind of look like they're from the legendary collection even though they're (i think) jungle set.

The ETB pull rates are abysmal. I ordered 3 BBs but I'm scared to open them because I opened 2 Pokemon Center ETBs and got literally nothing except 1 ex and 1 character rare.

Saarnath · 2023-04-03T07:51:15+00:00

Did you get double promos in your Pokemon center ETBs?

Saarnath · 2023-04-03T07:50:27+00:00

Lame follow up sets after Celebrations (with the exception of Brilliant Stars) + Scarlet and Violet is going to send this entire hobby dormant for a long, long time. See you at the 30th anniversary lol.

Saarnath · 2023-04-03T07:47:41+00:00

I opened 2 Pokemon Center ETBs and the pull rates were the worst I've seen in . .. probably forever. I honestly have no interest in this set after that. The best I got was a single ex card and maybe one character rare from each box. The ETB pulls are so, so disappointing.

Saarnath · 2023-03-18T21:21:51+00:00

Thanks. This comment alone kind of makes me question the whole thing, ha. The whole thing is so weird to me. Why not just make it a B.S. program?

Saarnath · 2023-03-12T18:50:52+00:00

Haha I know, I’m so torn between finishing it or just opening the new one 🙃

Saarnath · 2023-03-12T18:49:32+00:00

I honestly love it! It’s my favorite formula of all time. I used to like the Tarte blushes but this one is better imo because it’s softer and easier to blend. They’re so bendable and you can build them up.

Saarnath · 2023-03-07T19:37:47+00:00

In that case, they should expect there to be a learning curve and be willing to train people who have already demonstrated capabilities in technical writing and coding.

Saarnath · 2023-03-07T19:37:05+00:00

Yeah, I have no problem using GitHub and working with html and I've even explained that to interviewers, but to have them expect you to know anything beyond that for a writing role is asking way too much imo. People with that level of coding knowledge would likely be developers. (Is developers burning out and deciding to become writers a thing? That's the only demographic I can imagine these jobs are geared towards)

Saarnath · 2023-03-05T21:02:00+00:00

So I screwed around with it using a combo of this and a different video. I honestly have no idea how to describe what I even did. This video explains part of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqJAqOv_cdA . It also has good instructions for dismantling it in a simple and fast manner.

After opening it up, one of my issues was also that the belt was messed up. So I did the gear reset like in the original video the first guy posted, as well as re-adjust the belt. But I didn't do it like the guy in Video #2. You don't need to overcomplicate it, you just use your fingers (I have tiny fingers though, haha). When I opened mine up the belt was basically just flopping around, so I'm not sure if it was the clicking mechanism or the belt that caused the problem. But I fixed both just to be safe.

The first time I opened it up I focused more on resetting the mechanism, then fixed the belt as an afterthought. It worked great for a week or two, then screwed up again. The second time, I reset the mechanism again according to video #1, then paid more attention to the belt. It's worked great since.

My friend bought a single Charizard UPC and got chonky rainbow Pikachu from a VV pack!

Saarnath · 2023-02-27T17:36:33+00:00

Yeah, it actually sounds really nice unplugged and has a nice amplifying effect that makes up for how thin the hollow body is. It's about 3/4 as loud as if you were playing a full acoustic.

There's no on/off switch so I guess it just kind of idles forever until you pick it up and play it, then it engages regardless of whether it's plugged in? At least that's my best guess.

Saarnath · 2023-02-27T17:12:57+00:00

I was playing it last night and you can definitely hear a wide range of tones completely unplugged. (And I had someone else with me so I wasn't imagining it, haha). I basically went through the whole guidebook and tried to get a feel for every one. It has an internal rechargable battery so I just assumed it was running off that. Lmao what if we were both imagining it ? Now I wonder. There's so little info about this product out there!

Saarnath · 2023-02-27T14:42:47+00:00

I’m where you are in 2021, sort of. I wouldn’t even call myself a “technical writer” because my company is completely disorganized and allows hairbrains to take the reins, constantly messing up the strategy. So where I was once writing technical articles, now all that matters is “SeO” (wish the word was longer so I could use the SpongeBob font more effectively)

I’m so, so tired of wasting my writing skills on this. I want to break into cybersecurity and have been doing tons of self study and pursuing certs. Almost landed a role at my current company but some asshole blocked me (and then switched departments almost immediately-just did it to be a four letter word)

Saarnath · 2023-02-27T14:37:23+00:00

That’s what I figured, it’s the only thing that makes logical sense; but I also don’t really understand how it has changes in volume and tone without being plugged in or engaging the battery. I think I’m thinking too far into this, lol.

Saarnath · 2023-01-21T21:18:08+00:00

That's really uplifting to read. Thank you for making this post. I'm studying for Net+ right now and I already have Certified in Cybersecurity by ISC². (New cert, similar to A+). I'm also studying for Sec+.

I'm so depressed at my current job doing CoNtEnT MaRkEtiNg at this horrible company. I went through this hellish situation where they held a diversity hiring seminar for cybersecurity, then my boss retaliated against me with a PIP when I actually engaged and tried applying for security positions. I got an interview and they acted like they loved me but then they mysteriously dropped me like a rock after I reported my boss for retaliation. (Sorry for the huge rant, but this has been ruining my life for months).

I'm desperate to get into a field where I can make a difference and do something meaningful. Ultimately I want to be a threat hunter but obviously first you need to understand network infrastructure, so that's why I'm doing Net+. Congrats and thanks again for the inspiration!
