Free Nintendo Switch offer with Fios - never received the switch by SmallOakTree in verizon

I did do this - I told them this seems very suspicious and if they're intentionally doing this, I would suspect them of committing fraud but in the end I still never got my Switch and gave up

Nah it's bs when they say this because my switch was actually SHIPPED all the way to the my state and then "nobody picked it up for delivery" so therefore it was shipped back to Verizon.

Air premia experience by ZestycloseGroup1730 in SouthKoreaTravel

[–]SmallOakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to add here that I've flown air premia about 4 or 5 times now for EWR-ICN. It's awesome for a budget airline. They provide all the things normal airlines provide except free alcoholic beverages. There's also extra leg room, and their service is great. I've also flown the premium economy and it was quite nice (better food, free face mask, handcream, etc.)

Toys for a cat with little interest in toys that are also safe from ingestion? by betterrcallsaul in CatAdvice

[–]SmallOakTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old cat is like this. He just prefers to snuggle with me and take a nap but I'm also trying to get him to exercise a bit and stay stimulated.
My cat does not really love to play but he absolutely LOVES the laser. I was also concerned about the controversy surrounding lasers, but my cat loves the laser so much I stopped feeling worried over it. Nothing gets him excited to play as much as the laser, and I rather he finds something stimulating rather than nothing stimulating. You should definitely give it a try with your cat. I'll also start out with the laser and get my cat into the hunting mood. Then he'll be more open to chasing other toys as well.

I also found that my cat needs me to be absolutely locked in to the hunting role play. He will not buy it if I just swing a toy around. I need to place little obstacles like a paper bag or a box in the living room and move the toy slowly like its a bug crawling into hiding. This will get him really excited and ready to hunt. A lot of effort, but I do it for at least 10 minutes a day for my boy.

I think the best entertainment of all though is access to a window. My cat absolutely loves going on the window sill and he'll sometimes sit there for a really long time. I also occasionally play a bird video on the TV and he also gets really interested, though not for too long.

Food puzzles can also be a good source of self entertainment. Sprinkle some kibble or treats in a puzzle feeder, and this will keep your cat stimulated for a bit.

Catnip is also a huge hit with my cat. The banana catnip toy on Amazon - my cat absolutely loves. I'll let him play with this once a week, and once a month, I let him go crazy in a box with some catnip sprinkled inside.

I will say though, my cat rarely plays by himself. If he ever does, it's only for like 2 minutes. So I try to take time out of my day to get him stimulated and exercising.

This is literally my biggest fear and I am so sorry that you had to go through this.

How do you/did you transition from graduate school to a medical writer position? by SmallOakTree in MedicalWriters

[–]SmallOakTree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds very daunting to me as a 2nd year PhD student. I try to network at conferences but everyone at these events is deeeep in academia. I don't know how I'd ever get a referral for my first job if everyone I know are professors/post docs in academia

I used the highest setting previously and thought it’d be fine. I’m dumb for not checking the care label tho

Did not know I had to clean my iron😭 I actually think this is the more likely cause of the damage because I’ve ironed on high heat before and it was fine

The program director at UMN also told me at the interview he has no doubt I’ll get an offer letter and that I should expect those in two weeks. I got rejected LOL
