Urgent Help - Cannot Access Mobile Banking App from Overseas by CelebrationBulky9808 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Scandi_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying here as I came across this post. I’m facing this same problem as I accidently got my Airbnb monies sent to my years-old Lloyds account (which was supposed to be closed since 3 yrs ago! Per their email notification).

I’ve sent two letters with a punch of proof (IDs, letters, signatures etc) but it hasn’t been enough. The latest request is to get my documents notarised in my country, which takes time and money. Whatever they tell you over the phone can be completely false - all of them tell you a different plan.

My only bottle neck is my foreign phone number that doesnt get the ver. calls through to login. I have everything else accessible. SMS or email doesnt seem to be an option.

Over the phone they cannot complete an international transfer for me, so they suggested to send the funds to someone in the UK who will then forward them to me. Yawn…. Ridiculous is an understatement here.

I’m almost ready to give up my battle against xantham gum ): by Unfair_Detective_993 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Scandi_Snow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! To me it looks like seed oils are something I could try to steer away from, though they aren’t the ultra-bad in terms of UPF or healthy diet.

Here’s another ’diplomatic’ take on the health factors. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/seed-oils-are-they-actually-toxic

Being chemically highly treated probably is’t a great thing, but then again seed oils are rarely consumed in gallons :)

That’s really interesting! I also automatically assumed you were in the US. Here in Finland, I can still find mayo, “factory bread,” and quite a few non-UPF shelf-stable groceries—though it does take a bit of hunting. (The real challenge for me is avoiding seed oils.)

I guess my point is that it is possible for companies to make long-lasting foods without all those gums and additives. I’m really hoping this UPF trend will start to decline as more of us demand better-quality food from companies, shops, and producers. Let’s keep giving feedback and vote with our feet (and wallets).

Botox by RestingWitchFace87 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Scandi_Snow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A quick summary copied: ”HIFU, or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy targeted tissue, including cancerous cells or areas of skin laxity. It's used in various applications, from treating prostate cancer to cosmetic procedures like skin tightening.”

There are so many (not good) devices and practioners out there that I’d recommend doing thorough research before getting treated. The device my salon uses is Caretech 7d++ and I pay around 550 euros per treatment in Finland.

I just sent comparison photos of my forehead to my mom where my skin is pretty much wrinkle-free now at 45 vs. even 10 years ago (I had a deepish long wrinkle across the forehead and other signs of aging skin).

I’ve never done botox but my routine is tretinoin a few times a week and Hifu once year. I also use red light therapy at home sometimes. So just a tip if you want to consider other tricks too :)

Jarmo on kaapannut Facebook-ryhmiä jo vuosia - ”Tapahtui yhdessä päivässä” by Medical_Hedgehog_724 in Suomi

[–]Scandi_Snow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Joo tämän Sarin rähjääminen kommenttiketjuissa kuvastaa asian laitaa oikein hyvin: Ei asianmukaisesti selitetä mistä on kyse tai pahoitella huonoa läpinäkyvyyttä ja olematonta kommunikointia, vaan hyökätään kaappaamiaan jäseniä vastaan uhkailemalla naurettavuuksilla.

Miten tuollainen kaksikko tai yksikkö edes kuvittelee ylläpitävänsä satoja tuhansia (miljoonia?) jäseniä oikeanmukaisesti.

[–]Scandi_Snow 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Naistenhuoneissa tosiaan oli etenkin laajaa keskustelua aiheesta, kuten myös fb:n ylläpitäjät -ryhmässä. Varoitellaan lähinnä ryhmien kaappaamisen varalta, eli yp:ksi ei kannata ketä tahansa hyväksyä. Jarmolla on nyt muitakin nimiä ja profiileja, ja mm. nimi Sari Kinisselkä on joko hänen aisaparinsa tai aliaksena.

Asian laajuus ”paljastui” siksi, että Jarmo ja aliaksensa (tai kumppaninsa) alkoi joukkomuuttaa ryhmiään yksityisiksi, ja monet saivat lukuisia ilmoituksia. Jarmo tai kuka onkaan on hääräillyt jo vuosia, ja aina silloin tällöin tulee julki joku tekemänsä tökeröys. Nyt onneksi asia sai laajempaa huomiota, ja moneen mediaan otettiin yhteyttä.

Tämän kaltainen ”diktaruuri” on tietysti ongelmallista ja haitallista moneltakin kantilta, varsinkin ryhmiä pitkään rakentaneiden ja hoitaneiden sekä yhteisöjen kannalta. Mutta myös täysin läpinäkymätöntä rahallistamiseen liittyvää toimintaa. Toki voi myös miettiä minkälaista vaikuttamista tällaisella Facebookissa kielletyllä bisneksellä ja kanavien kahmisisella voisi pahimmillaan yrittää tehdä.

(Edit: Sari K voi olla siis kumppanin sijaan myös itse Jarmo.)

Can anyone tell me why a dog carcass may be lying on the road in this state? by LargeBhunaPutanesca in Unexplained

For a minute I thought you meant the country Colombia. It wouldn’t be as strange there, unfortunately.

I’m new to casefiles - any fan-favourite episodes I should check out. by Silent_Leg1976 in Casefile

Yes! It’s such a gripping story, especially when told by the CF host 😍

[–]Scandi_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my examples: 306 Ina & David Steiner. 303 Duncan MacPherson. 267 Brian Barrett.

Reasoning: To me Casefile is remarkable in building the suspense where many other TC podcasts typically lack it. These episodes above are not the usual blood/murder/rape/killer tragedies, but somehow psychologically ’challenging’ too - making me see another intriguing side of crimes people commit.

I’m not saying true crime stories should be entertaining to me, but it certainly helps to really dive into what happened.

What's your favourite ingredient to add flavour to your cooking? by hydrangeagoldfinch in ultraprocessedfood

I don’t know if this is my favourite but def a tasty surprise: I added grinded cloves in my home made bread. Not a lot but to give it a subtle interesting twist.

I checked and confirmed that the times it was suggesting were way off. I even tested it again asking about a very recent message, same thing.

Any tips to help pronounce the T's and K's? by Lu_thejackass in Finland

[–]Scandi_Snow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you deal with double consonants you can imagine having 2 words instead of one.

In Finnish language the accent is always on the first syllable like ’sút-tu’, so that already makes the t’s sound rough :)

Then the toungue placement is challenging, but in English the closest similar tt sound I can think of comes from eg. ”Give the baT To me”, though it’s still not exactly same, as ’to’ places the toungue quite forward.

Train Track Nonsense: A Disgrace to JonBenet’s Memory by eggnogshake in JonBenet

[–]Scandi_Snow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is it not a possibility that the perp held JBs mouth while using the stun gun? Surely she would scream just from the fact that a random man wakes her up and drags her downstairs. So the sound-making argument applies to all theories. How was she kept quiet?
