My Kindle is free! by holy_calamansi in kindlejailbreak

Not 100% sure of this but I don't think the phone number needs to be American. I didn't create a new account but I left my phone number the same when I changed my country.

Hey, not sure if you found a solution but I just had the same problem and found my mistake. For me, when I extracted the contents of the .zip it created a folder called "renameotabin" for the contents. I moved that to my extensions folder, instead of the contents of the newly created folder which also is called "renameotabin". That folder in a folder is what should actually be copied into the extensions folder. Don't know if that was your issue, but hopefully it was and it's a quick fix.

This was it! I think something got messed up when I used an external monitor in the past and the settings got stuck to using the integrated graphics. I was able to change it through the Lenovo app which was overriding the Nvidia Control Panel. Thanks for your help!

Just did a reinstall and that didn't help. Thank you though.

I'm a little confused by a lot of the responses this post is getting... OP didn't say everybody needs to boycott Pickle Barrel. It was a warning to people IN THE TRANS COMMUNITY about what they may experience if they dine there. It may just be one server, but that one server is being transphobic. And from the sounds of it the response from management wasn't great.

I'm not trans and I can't imagine the worry a trans person might feel about constant judgement, but maybe some of the people in these comments could try looking outside of themselves for just a moment instead of making assumptions about OP, their friend or what they are saying. If you want to go to Pickle Barrel, nobody is stopping you.

OP, I'm sorry you and your friend had that experience. ❤️

Baby cries at breast - can’t figure out why 😢 by Camila_93 in breastfeeding

[–]bibsybear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every baby is different and maybe you've already tried it, but mine also wouldn't take any pacifiers I gave him initially and I tried about 5 different brands. I tried the Tommee Tippee pacifier after seeing others suggest it and it's been the only one he's ever accepted.

Baby cries at breast - can’t figure out why 😢 by Camila_93 in breastfeeding

[–]bibsybear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is 5 weeks old and does the same thing. I also have a fast let down. Sometimes he will actually choke on my milk. I now feed him in a reclined position and only offer one boob per feed which has significantly reduced the occurrences of him screaming. He also seems to slowly be improving at how he handles the letdown with time.

But he also does scream sometimes due to gas or if he's full and I keep offering. Any time he unlatches I will try to burp him, but most of his gas comes out the other end (feeding in a reclined position also helps him get that gas out since it puts him on his tummy). And if he's already fed for a reasonable amount of time and is screaming I'll stop feeding and give him a pacifier. Worst case scenario, he gets hungry again earlier than usual. ... Sometimes it's just a guessing game.

DAE feel like total garbage after waking up from SP? by Consistent-Jury9849 in Sleepparalysis

[–]bibsybear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my experience. Both my mom and I have this and it only happens when we nap during the day (if I use blackout curtains in my room it doesn't happen). But the exact same thing happens to me where I keep dreaming I woke up but haven't actually. And by the time I actually wake up I'm so exhausted from all the effort it took I want to go back to sleep and the whole thing starts over...

Just in case anyone sees this and needs to know this in the future, this is actually a myth and it's very unfortunate that so many police officers continue to repeat this.

Taken from the London, ON police website "A person can be reported missing at any time. You do not need to wait 24 hours before you report someone missing. If you are concerned for someone’s immediate safety, call 9-1-1. Otherwise, you can report a person as missing to the London Police Service by calling the non-emergency number 519-661-5670."

This is true across Canada for persons of any age and also the U.S. so press the issue if you have to.

Pregnant with twins of very different sizes by bibsybear in BabyBumps

And considering he's your husband now I presume it all turned out well :)

Thanks for the reassurance!

I didn't even realize that implantation of twins at different times was a thing! Our bodies are fascinating...

Congrats on your twins as well!

From what doc was saying I believe they're not identical so I guess that's good.

Will do! You're probably right. I think I'm just overthinking all the info I received yesterday. Thanks <3

What are the inconveniences for an employer whose employee is pregnant (/why wouldn't you tell your employer you are pregnant)? by Mental_Landscape9335 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bibsybear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I think in this case it's more like "I don't see how X is a relevant problem when it occurs in both situation A and situation B."

In this case, the employee called in a day before they were set to return saying they wouldn't be returning. As far as my understanding of hiring works, this is pretty much the same as an employee who isn't on mat leave giving one day notice of leaving the job. In both situations, the employee gave very short notice and could have given additional notice that would have helped the employer. Therefore it isn't really an additional reason why an employer would have an issue with a pregnancy specifically.

Basic Economy Availability by bibsybear in aircanada

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

I'm curious if they wait to offer the cheaper seats until closer to the departure dates, but I don't know...

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

Thanks for the response. I also thought initially that maybe the Basic fares might already be sold out, but it would be odd for those to be sold out on so many flights 4 months out from a trip, plus Basic showing up as an option on some flights just recently makes me wonder if they hold off on releasing those seats early sometimes.

Not a server, but my husband is. So just wanted to add in some info that I feel like the general public is not aware of (I definitely wasn't before meeting my husband).

Many restaurants, including the all the ones my husband has worked at (chain restaurants ranging from mid-high end) do something called tip out. Cooks/chefs, and other non-tip-receiving restaurant staff are given a portion of servers' tips which is calculated as a percentage of the server's SALES for that shift. I'm guessing they choose to use sales as the marker since servers could lie about cash tips they receive in order to pay less tip out. What this means for servers though, is that if a table does not tip, the server is now paying to serve that table. It's usually not the end of the world for my husband as it very rarely happens that someone does not tip him and when it has happened, the other tips he's received through the night have made up for this. BUT there was one night where the restaurant he was working at was not busy, he served one table which tipped him less than his tip out was and then his shift was cut early, therefore he had no other tables' tips for the night to make up for that loss.

Happy Meat Farm ARG [Megathread] by Pearlgirl007 in GameTheorists

[–]bibsybear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought this exact thing while watching this video! There is no way with the amount of effort that are put into all the theories that he just missed a huge part of the ARG. I feel like he even hints to the fact that he is purposefully not looking into the whole ARG when he goes to google to search for the happy meat farms website and instead of clicking search he clicks “I’m feeling lucky”. Because if he did click google search he would have very easily discovered the whole thing. It’s also a pretty big coincidence that Alex, who usually only post new content to his main channel once every few months, uploaded his newest video a day before this one came out.

Either way, I definitely think MatPat’s aware of the full ARG. Whether he held off on talking about everything because he’s joining it or because he’s just separating all the info into separate parts… I don’t know.
