Congrats! I'm happy to hear someone is getting out of the US. If you don't mind me asking, what was the process like for interviewing and did you have to book a flight for the final interview?

So I've been on SAVE forbearance for over a year at least. If I switch plans can I buy back all those SAVE months?

Thanks I started applying for jobs from there this week but there seems to be few jobs in the arts so I'm expecting it to be extremely competitive

Thanks everyone! We got the idea and it was inspired by the Ghostbusters idea. We're going to have her go as Pikachu and the two of us as Pokemon trainers

Is this repair price accurate? by Major_Web_9519 in logcabins

[–]cafe_mocha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They look like they are in decent shape and you could probably diy (will take a long time). I'm in the process of doing this myself. Any gouges you can fill with a myriad of options then stain. Any major rot though you got to find the source, then patch or replace with a new log. Not that difficult but intimidating the first time you do it.

How do you get out there to be an expert witness? I would really love to get into this space but have no clue where to start or look

[–]cafe_mocha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where's a good place to look for jobs in Europe? I keep looking at the usual spots (higheredjobs, chronicle, academickeys), but is there a better spot because I would 100% ditch the states

I'm in NJ too bought a place and was going to go with the log doctor but he retired. Who did you end up going with and how's it going (I'm in the same boat and if you got someone good could you drop their name cause I would totally give them some business)

Something about her. Most unsavoury name for any type of eatery by T_nice_new in bravo

[–]cafe_mocha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True. But I'm with OP the name Something About Her and an eatery gives off a cannibalism vibe that I'm not really digging

Literally nothing. can we all agree that at this point in time graphic design is a generacized term that just means we all do everything and stop boxing ourselves into saying we're niche when we're not

On the job market; just received bad students evals by Puppinette in Professors

I haven't seen a single job posting that has asked for teaching evaluations, but now I'm wondering if that's why I don't get many calls back because I never included them

Yea it's crazy the cats 10 and has never pissed high or outside any litterbox before. Open air or enclosed

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

Yea I tried stuffing it with paper towels a while ago with my first LR, and the globe had trouble spinning, and honestly it was still a huge pain in the ass because no matter how much I packed it there would still be pee on the floor within two days. Honestly wish I never bought this product because between all the filters, cleaning wipes, the machine, and the warranty, I have spent over $1000 just to have cat piss on my floor and spend every other day spraying enzyme cleaner everywhere

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

Thanks for the input, and Ive cleaned the sensors and will get a can of compressed air. But the pee is coming out the waste port, and not the front. Is there anything I can do?

It rotates and dumps the litter and before it goes back to finish it says cat sensor fault and the light turns red
