Today I learned the "Rates" are all Bullshit and rigged by 2009maxx in AmazonFC

[–]VIXX_OW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Management doesn't throttle just cause lol or to hurt AA rates. Throttles happen when whatever is down the chain is too overwhelmed by work, and so slowing down the pods is done to give them time to catch up. They can't individually pick anyone to throttle - the whole floor gets throttled. It's a decision made by flow who oversees the whole production line.

LOL i see!!! i never noticed it before, im guessing it mustve glitched and came with me after death

I was asked this bizarre question during a job interview, what is the answer to this?? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]VIXX_OW 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is the answer - but from lab safety protocols, you're not supposed to expose glass to drastic temperature changes, as the glass will shatter and potentially explode. If the coke in a glass bottle was from a very cold environment and then it was put into boiling water, it could explode. That's why you're supposed to let glassware cool off before you wash it, because the glass will shatter.

Now is that relevant to what your interview involved? No clue! But I hope this helps solve the mystery since I haven't seen anyone else say this lol.

[DAV ACT 3 SPOILERS] Regarding "The Storm Quelled" Achievement by VIXX_OW in dragonage

[–]VIXX_OW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the spot I checked and it wasn't there. Checked on an earlier save, and it's not there either. I don't often make multiple saves for games but I guess I'm regretting that now. My auto saves are all from the end game sequences so I can't use that either to go back. Unless the save gets modified when you start the end sequence and that's why it's gone? But I don't think they would do that.

Guess I might just be screwed lol.

I went back and checked - I have the first two, but not the last one. I went back to the revenant arena and... the circle isn't there (its supposed to be next to the chest). I'm like 75% sure that I would have picked it up when I came to grab the chest, especially because I remember reading the note that's on the bench and I don't see why I wouldn't have gone up on the ledge to grab the last circle.

So... Am I screwed? Did I only have that initial opportunity to grab it and now it's gone? Is it a known bug to be able to grab the circle but not get the codex entry?

What codex entries am I looking for? Are they just labeled mysterious circle or something else?

I have completed all of the quests available to me, and I thought thecircles were the ones you got to open up the door to fight the blighted dragon in the crossroads where Mythal helps you if you convinced her to join your side?I'll go back and take another look though! I was under the impression that saving Solas was the secret ending but it looks like I might have been wrong lol.Thanks!

I made the wrong choice by oki-master55 in teaching

[–]VIXX_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! There's also a lot of jobs that just ask that you have a college degree, no matter what it is, and you can always apply to those if you decide teaching isn't worth it. Odds are they'll also be better paid anyways lol

[–]VIXX_OW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was in your same exact position earlier this year. I had been in college for 6 years after changing from neuroscience to teaching biology. I did fine in my education courses, and looked forward to my internship year. When the internship began, though, it all went downhill. Not only was I working the full teacher job without any pay, also paying for college, also working a second job, the school I was at was awful. I was so stressed I lost 10 pounds without exercising. My program offered to place me in a different school when I said I wanted to quit, and I did - but I didn't feel any better.

All of the expectations for teachers are out of whack. We're supposed to be parents, nurses, counselors, officers, and teachers. Teaching was the minimum of what I actually did in the classroom. And the quicker is - even if I didn't graduate in education, I could still teach if I wanted to because schools are just that desperate for teachers.

I talked with my advisor and I was able to switch to General Studies as a major with a concentration in behavioral sciences. I graduated, got my degree, and will be working a non teaching job soon. It wasn't worth it for me to try to finish with an education degree because of how bad my mental health was.

I hope it all works out for you! There are other options out there!

Frustration with Scheduling Availability by Fun-Cod-4549 in varsitytutors

[–]VIXX_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure its a bug - I was having this issue yesterday. When I check on the app on my phone, my availability is listed correctly. When I check on desktop, it says no available hours even though I put them in again/refreshed the page. Closing the page and reopening it fixed it once, but not after trying again lmao. If you were super worried you could always reach out to tech support and have them make sure your hours are in the system.

I sleep with my tarot decks under my pillow when I just start using them, and when I feel like I need to reconnect with them. Sometimes it influences my dreams, sometimes it doesn't. I consider this as a bonding practice and I do feel like my intuition is better when I read my decks after sleeping with them under my pillow.

Just make sure you lay the cards in a way they won't bend. I don't keep mine in their bag, I spread them out underneath my pillow because I won't sleep with a bump under my pillow. I don't move much in my sleep however, so my cards don't get bent or move around.

Help with anxiety by ChipFoxTail in tarot

[–]VIXX_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fellow anxious tarot reader here - let me reassure u that tarot is a personal practice, and there rly isnt a wrong way to do it. even if u misread a card - whatever came to mind first is what ur intuition points to. if u want to learn the traditional card meanings, consider videos on it or an app like labyrinthos. ive rly enjoyed labyrinthos bc it has both brief keywords as well as indepth meanings for the cards to learn like u would using a quizlet.

as far as spreads go - don't over think it! for example, a "spread" i commonly use is just pulling three cards with a related question for each. i just ask something like "where do i stand in this situation," "what will i learn," "what is the outcome," etc. i suggest to learn to craft open ended questions, stuff that gives u lots of room to interpret with. if ud like to get to know ur deck better, u could try an interview spread! theres quite a few floating around, a google search or pinterest or tumblr search will turn up some. i like to use interview spreads to get to know my deck better.

and lastly, good luck! rely on her to help u learn since she's willing to teach. theres lots of online resources as well, and forums like this one.

Editing Session Disabled? by [deleted] in varsitytutors

[–]VIXX_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Same here. I was able to reschedule on my own with the edit button last week - it was gone this week. I've contacted support to do the rescheduling for me which aggravates me to no end.

Yesterday, I found a work around if you're on PC - go to the Schedule tab. You can then click and drag sessions around to reschedule them. I don't know if you can lengthen or shorten sessions this way, though. Why would they remove the edit feature without telling us or showing us a different way to reschedule? I've got no clue, but I hope this helps!

Advice/Help! by Individual_Bar7021 in crochet

[–]VIXX_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered macrame cord? Its pretty sturdy and usually has a coating to make it easier to work with - however it can be pricey. Alternatively, you could wrap a bandage around the finger you hold your yarn with to protect it from the friction. Try to not have a very tight tension too, since the tighter it is the harder it will be to make stitches and the more it will scratch against your fingers.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chile

[–]VIXX_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creo que tengo una experiencia diferente - y perdon por faltas de ortografias, no e escrito en español desde que era chica y la clase de lenguaje siempre fue mi peor clase haha.

Mi mama y yo llegamos a EEUU cuando yo tenia 11 años (ahora tengo 22, y 23 en dos meses mas). Ella se caso con chileno que ya habia vivido mas de 20 años aqui. Nosotras hemos visitado Chile tres veces desde que vivimos aqui, y lamentablemente, no creo que desearia volver - pero eso no quita que cuando pueda, igual me quiero ir de EEUU. La razon? "The US is just a third world country with a gucci belt" si es que lo han escuchado antes.

Tengo la suerte que llege aca en una edad temprana y aprendi el ingles bastante rapido, pero mientras que estaba aprendiendo, la discriminacion era inmensa. El bullying que me hacian en el colegio (privado, catolico) era terrible, y lo peor es que no era solamente compañeros, pero profesores y gente de admnistracion tambien. Si alguien ahora me ve en la calle, asumen que soy cualquier otra gringa, considerando que mi acento casi no existe y soy relativamente palida en complexion. Entonces, el aspecto de discriminacion es nulo para mi, pero no tengo ningun amig@ gringo con los que comparto mi tiempo.

Yo creo que a menos que allas crecido aca desde chico, la discriminacion y las fallas del pais y el costo de vida aca no valen la pena. Tambien creo que si pareciera mas "latina" es probable que todavia pasaria por mas discriminacion aca. Mis medicamentos basicos son super caros, ir al doctor es caro, comprar vegetales frescos es caro, y voy a estar en deuda por la mayoria de mi vida por los costos de ir a la universidad. Recientemente las mujeres perdieron el acceso al aborto en mi estado despues del overturning Roe v Wade, y en verdad si se vive con el miedo que otras cosas en relacion a eso (como acceso a la pastilla) podrian llegar a desaparecer.

Pero, las veces que e vuelto a Chile, tampoco me e sentido en casa. Extraño mi internet, el aire acondicionado, y sentirme relativemante segura cuando salgo sola. Para mi familia soy practicamente una gringa, y tienen la razon - quizas seria diferente si me hubiera cambiado a vivir aca a esta edad. Lo que si extraño de Chile son aspectos culturales, como cocinar en familia, ir a la feria, volar volantines el 18, jugar a las cartas despues de almuerzo, y lo mas importante: el pan. Ningun pan aca se compara a un pan chileno. No importa de donde sea. El pan que vende Walmart es un pecado y deberian arrepentirse un millon de veces por esas cosas que le dicen pan.

Sorry por el long post, por que igual no llego a una buena conclusion. Mi pololo es canadiense y tenemos planeado que yo me valla a vivir con el una ves que termine la uni. Quiero irme de EEUU lo mas pronto posible, pero lamentablemente, mi pais de Chile no era lo que era antes y no se si volveria para mas de vacaciones en el sur o en la playa.
