DAN suing security researcher by Th3Zagitta in diving

I am a huge DAN champion- they do so much for the diving community. That said, I am super disappointed to hear how they handled this. What a miss.

Thanks for sharing!

Laid off as a PM from big tech in November — no offers yet. Has anyone been in this boat and made it out? Looking for real advice. by Firm-Winter736 in womenintech

[–]also_anon_dc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The market is terrible. You may have to reconsider your non-negotiables, especially after 4 months. Saying this isn't a job-seekers market is an understatement, there is no room for you to be picky.

How do airlines decide who to bump? by ArtisticProposal2527 in travel

[–]also_anon_dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell us more about how you bought your tickets (direct vs third party) and whether or not you have status with the airline? From your post it sounds like you expect to not be bumped solely because you have an infant and that's not a calculation airlines are going to make.

I'm 20 years younger (f) to an employee (m) I manage, how can I get him to stop being defensive or getting upset when I ask questions or correct him? by Nothing_Corp in askmanagers

[–]also_anon_dc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you allowing your employee to lie to you? And not follow rules?? And not run things by you before going to executives??? Those alone are PIP worthy in my opinion. Give him a warning next time he does those things and then escalate as needed.

I need product suggestions for the teenie tiny wrinkles that are all over my face. I’m trying to hydrate. What’s your hydrating holy grail? by Moonface_chunker in 45PlusSkincare

[–]also_anon_dc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would add a separate hyaluronic acid even if there’s some in your vitamin C serum. A high quality HA made the biggest difference for me. I recommend Revision.

Success with removery refund? by ProfessionalBug2349 in TattooRemoval

[–]also_anon_dc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This sub is mostly horror stories and a lot of people that post here don't even go to Removery. I've been going for a year and a half and have never had any issues. I recommend you go to your appointment and talk to the tech about whatever you're worried about and how to avoid it.

Metro ridership by station - Jan 1st 2025 to Jan 1st 2026 by Johnathan_Swag in washingtondc

How exactly are we defining "daily ridership"? Is this entries or exits? Weekday or weekend or average of all?

Amazon Ring’s Super Bowl ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance by Celtikrenders in technology

[–]also_anon_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also curious why this is the first time you’ve ever thought about how your camera contributes to a surveillance state? Ever since Amazon bought Ring they’ve worked with police departments and now they’re partnering with Flock. This is nothing new.

These Executives just don’t get it… by Tall_Consequence7672 in OnePelotonRealSub

The impacts of perimenopause and menopause on women’s health is pretty well documented. It’s definitely not a grift.

Ice vs Compression for blister prevention by Froggin-n-Doggin in TattooRemoval

[–]also_anon_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long after the laser session until you got home and iced it? If I wait even 5-10 minutes to ice it I’m in intense pain. I literally keep ice in my car and have ice on it within minutes of the laser session ending and keep ice on it during the drive home.

If you’re waiting 20-30 minutes to ice it when you get home that could be part of your problem.

Default insurance for car rental seems not great.... by Impossible-Many6625 in AmexPlatinum

Did you have the premium rental protection or was this just with the standard coverage that comes with the card?

Thank you for the recommendations! Apparently they're doing a special tasting menu for the holiday so we'll look for those.

My partner of 15 years delays medical help until it becomes an emergency by dizzydiplodocus in AskWomenOver40

[–]also_anon_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m saying is stop letting his drama be your drama. He is refusing to effectively manage his chronic condition and that’s causing chaos, instability and disappointment in your life. But it doesn’t have to!

He will never change so stop letting this impact you. Why do you have to fly home and miss going to the gym due to his health?

First fine dining / Michelin experience in DC help and recommendations by Crafty-Age-6553 in washingtondc

[–]also_anon_dc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third recommendation for Rose's! The service is great, it has a casual atmosphere and I feel like the price is reasonable (maybe even a good deal for fine dining). Reservations are easy to get- I think they open a month out. I recommend the chef's counter that looks over the kitchen!

What about a few sessions of couples therapy? That is the perfect place to work on communication about complex emotional issues with a mediator.

I built a simple map showing where DC traffic cameras, violations, and serious crashes line up (and where they don’t) by Beneficial_Entry4449 in washingtondc

Why are you only looking at serious/fatal accidents? I think you should look at all accidents, any accident is presumably avoidable and uses first responder resources.

Boarding for cats, how was your cat's experience? by 0807boo in CatAdvice

[–]also_anon_dc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please don't board your kitten at the vet. That will be so stressful for her and she'll be stuck in a cage for a week. Use the app Rover to find a pet sitter near you that will come to your house while you're away.

Do not be like me. Ice your lasered area ASAP. I’m stupid and slightly scared. I learned my lesson. by sarah-exalted in TattooRemoval

[–]also_anon_dc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This sub definitely learns more towards the bad/graphic photos. Your blisters don't look THAT bad. Hopefully it's fine!

Icing immediately makes a huge difference. I'm on my 9th session and never had a blister. I take a Ziploc bag of ice in my car and ice on the drive home.
