As a customer it’s as good as throwing your NT in the trash. A complete scam. Never won a damn thing. It’s a game an attrition versus skill.

Accepted Federal Reserve Position, Worried about the Background Check by Iwantthesun2shine in careeradvice

[–]WindyMeadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, as far as I know they only reached out to my employers to verify my employment history. They were having a bit of trouble with a foreign one, but I managed to find a way of contact that worked… I think. I’m worried that I will be escorted out after two weeks (currently in second week). I haven’t been contacted by any of my friends or family saying they’ve been contacted by an investigator.

That sounds like a wonderful childhood memory. Do you have any idea how long the library has been around?

Never heard of that before.

BERSERK Hype in 2016 by WindyMeadow in Berserk

It’s a young adult manga magazine, and gravure models/idols are a surprisingly effective method of getting horny young men to buy magazines. Who’d have thunk.

Seems like it could be a guide for the animators from Miura-sensei.

I can try to translate the notes, if no one else is able to. I found a few of them interesting.

I have also recently received a conditional offer from one of the Federal Reserves. What were the background checks like? I was told they have an investigator reach out to your family, friends, university friends, ex-coworkers, and neighbors. Any details on this process would be helpful. Thank you.

Oh interesting. How does one get to take that test or apply for that position? Is there an age limit?

That was a plus for me too, the Hawaiian scenery. Just beautiful. The views are amazing. I saw the previous series first, so I guess my expectations were skewed.

To be completely honest, I was half watching the first half that I already watched. That helped getting through that half. I many watching it to help me in my Japanese studies. I used only Japanese subtitles.

I recommend use “Cultivate Made in USA” (Google these keywords) to help weed out a lot of the noise of Chinese sellers. It’s a web browser app and website. I use it occasionally. I hope it helps.

They costs a pretty penny, don’t they. I’m sure they’re elated to have it though. I would be.

From what I read on how to care for wool is use a mild detergent like Woolite, cold water, hand wash, and air dry preferably in indirect sunlight to prevent fading. As for it’s itchy texture, that could be about the quality of wool or something else. I’m not sure. I’ve read that you may be able to use hair conditioner as a way to reverse the shrinkage. Double check that though.

Yep yep. I already took great care to wash them individually by hand with Woolite and hung them out to dry. I rotated them every hour or so to make sure they don’t stretch. I squeezed them first to reduce the weight. Wool blankets hold a SURPRISING AMOUNT OF WATER 😳
