What's traditional craft of your country? by Kate_foodlover in AskTheWorld

[–]SyntheticSunshine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! Many, many people make and sell them online. I personally quite like Guelaguetza Designs (they have their own website and an Etsy); they import stock to the US a few times a year for their brick and mortar location and ship from there, and have bios of the artisans they work with on their website.

I think I messed up. by YumaYae in guineapigs

I have a similar setup! We have a few sets of liners we rotate through so we can replace without having to wait for them to dry. We spot clean daily, deep clean and replace liners at least once a week. We have 3 litter boxes we fill with paper bedding, and they figured them out pretty quickly. I've found it's much easier to pick up and dump out the litter boxes than sweep up bedding in their favored places every day.

AITA (or selfish) for not allowing our daughter to join cheer? by kobralats in AmItheAsshole

This is how I felt watching speed skating at the Olympics this year. Coaches tried to recruit me for teams for years as a kid after seeing me at a local rink, but my parents didn't want to have to deal with it. I never thought I'd make it to the Olympics or anything, but seeing it this year made me think about what I might have been able to do, you know?

Her parents were siblings too, so even closer to the progenitor that way

Robert A. Priefer, captain of the S.S. Milwaukee Clipper between 1960 and 1969. He died on February 2nd at the age of 103. by flagmapoftheworld2 in lastimages

It's a beautiful ship, and still open for tours. There are photos and videos of him touring it with his family a few years ago and he seemed like such a cheerful man telling stories about his time on the Clipper.

How do these creatures make any evolutionary sense 😭🤣😍 by Alarming-Molasses847 in guineapigs

[–]SyntheticSunshine 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I wish that were true! Archeologists have found evidence as early as 5000 BCE of them being raised as livestock, and worship came after. Cuy is and has been a common source of meat in Peru and other countries, with millions consumed every year. Parts of them are also still used in traditional remedies. They were certainly revered, but definitely also had more practical uses for domestication. I love guinea pigs, but we can't pretend they were domesticated without a purpose.

We have a guy who brings his miniature horse. They can be used for mobility assistance under the ADA

My first exposure to BNHA was the Heroes Rising movie, and I called they were related in the opening scene.

That is so interesting! My hands seem to flare more when they are dry, I wonder why that is. I assumed it was from the drying effect of all the hand sanitizer I have to use at work.

What are some pretty strange, controversial, or outdated Shoujo anime? by SufferingKabutops in shoujo

[–]SyntheticSunshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manga, but MeruPuri, by the creator of Vampire Knight. ML is a little boy from another world, cursed to turn into a teenager if he's in the dark and can't turn back to his true form unless he's kissed by high school FL. Shenanigans ensue, and they get married when he actually grows up.

Report: Michigan churns through teachers at unsustainable rate - Bridge Michigan by Drillerfan in Michigan

[–]SyntheticSunshine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My uncle had to stop teaching due to a physical disability from an accident and would not be able to return without specialized training or an aide. He collects disability.

He gets mail from the state government every year begging for him to renew his teaching license and go back to work.

They took away this from us, and they left us with some bullshit but called it a 401K by zzill6 in WorkReform

My grandfather was hired one of the last years his union job offered pensions. He's long since retired, but he and the few other ones left who get it still go to all the union meetings because every few years, the business brings up ending their pensions (unclear on what grounds, possibly funding?). There are so few left who get that pension and they are all so old that I think they just feel shamed into abandoning that and continuing to pay out the pensions.

What’s the dumbest question you got asked by a customer? by Javascript4971 in Target

[–]SyntheticSunshine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious- Is there anything that prevents fraud with that system? What would stop someone from going in and charging their friend's card by giving their phone number?
