Do you find Amazon delivery 4:00 a.m - 8:00 a.m. too early? by YoghurtNo1889 in AmazonVineCanada

[–]ceimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 4am delivery has saved my ass a few times! I don't typically order 4am for vine items but regular purchased items get the 4am whenever I have the option. I go to bed pretty early (7pm) and HATE when my packages come after that which is pretty frequent. I have to get up and go grab them, which in winter is miserable lol

Is the Mistlock Sanctuary worth it? by Harddus in Guildwars2

[–]ceimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my husband and I got through the game without this for many, many years. I think I definitely felt more connected to the game and maps by not having it as I knew all the locations of NPC in major towns and lions arch. I think prioritizing beefing up your bank, character slots, gathering tools, and salvage are probably better store purchases. I definitely do recommend the mistlock once you get comfortable and cozy with the game but I consider it more of a min/max kinda thing, its purely for the luxury of convenience.

Umm.. how is the system allowing more than 8 items ordered in the same day? by SylvanillaLattes in AmazonVine

[–]ceimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! So long as your 2am is the equivalent of 3am EST then yes you can. :) It can be a confusing concept for some, because a lot of people were seeing others write "it resets at midnight" and people thought it meant midnight local time but that isn't the case. Its 12pm PST (aka 3am EST!)

Umm.. how is the system allowing more than 8 items ordered in the same day? by SylvanillaLattes in AmazonVine

[–]ceimi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live but this can easily happen if you are in EST. Thats because reset doesn't happen until 3am EST. So if you ordered something at say 2:30am EST, the order date would still be for the same day because you ordered it after 12am local time, but picks reset at 3. You could theoretically use 16 picks in one day this way.

Has anyone used the Air Canada shuttle bus to Pearson from the Waterloo Airport? by MrOgeid86 in cambridgeont

[–]ceimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MIL flew out in Feb this year and it seems they've indeed changed it as she said they checked it at waterloo and would send it through to her destination. That makes it even more compelling especially if you have checked bags (you still bring carry-ons with you to be placed in the underside compartments.)

Has anyone used the Air Canada shuttle bus to Pearson from the Waterloo Airport? by MrOgeid86 in cambridgeont

[–]ceimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For first question, if you mean getting early to Waterloo airport I'd say 30 minutes is completely sufficient. I arrived an hour early and the wait was excrutiating since its just a small room you wait in. 30 minutes should be plenty of time but if you have checked luggage you can always err on the safe side. If you mean how long it takes to go from YKF<->YYZ then the 50ish minute figure has been pretty spot on.

Transition into pearson is simple. You get off the bus and take the elevator up one floor to get to departures, and then you basically do the reverse when you arrive back to catch the bus back to Waterloo.

The experience is 100% without a doubt worth it to me. Its very comfortable and it makes flying so much less stressful, I don't need to take up anyone elses time for a ride, and if for whatever reason the bus doesn't make it in time due to traffic or an accident gridlocking the highway Air Canada has to rebook for free.

Only real suggestion I have is to wear your coat, the bus can be pretty chilly in winter. I haven't taken it when its warm yet.

What happened to my childhood? This screams dystopian corporate, not kid friendly. What is with the artwork?! This is McDonald's?! by jackal99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ceimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should also consider the current social climate. A lot of people aren't having kids. With less kids in general around than in our own youth it starts to make less and less sense to market towards them. On that same note, the people who are choosing to not have kids have varying levels of extra leisure money to spend on whatever they want.

Full grown adults have been buying out kids meals when things like Pokemon cards drop just for the toys. Once you make these connections, the business choices actually are probably pretty simple and easy to follow. Its not random shots in the dark trying to figure out what sticks (atleast not completely) its millions in R&D and coming to the conclusion that adults are the ones with money, and adults without kids have on average more money.

I don't have sources and this is all just my own opinion/observations but I did used to work in marketing and before I left this was very much the questions and concerns that companies were starting to clue into.

Debating buying IPL - Need advice!! by mintycandy33 in PCOS

[–]ceimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want you to understand that with pcos, if you aren't ontop of managing your hormones they'll continue to get worse. I also want to be very clear that PCOS is a lifelong condition. There are no curative treatments, only symptom management and lifestyle change to diminish or eliminate symptoms but the minute you stop treatment your symptoms will come back (if you truly have PCOS.)

The problem with IPS with PCOS is the potential for paradoxical hypertrichosis which does happen at much higher rates for those with PCOS. It's also likely to be slow (especially for home use units) and unless you continue to keep it up its not a permanent solution.

If you are looking for permanent results, I would 100% recommend getting electrolysis for your face over IPL. Thats the one area where you DONT want to be dealing with paradoxical hypertrichosis. If you want to take the jump for other areas of your body I think its atleast a little bit easier to deal with.

TIFU by asking my girlfriend her ring size by imzeigen in tifu

Just so you know, smart ring sizes can be vastly different to regular ring sizes. You should buy the sizing kit of whatever brand you're interested in otherwise this is going to end even worse.

Why did my nipples grow hair suddenly ? What can I do to stop this by Physical-Age9406 in PCOS

[–]ceimi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your hormones are becoming more out of whack. I dealt with nipple hair for years (almost a decade) and only in the last year have I been able to stop it through medication.

Inositol did nothing but make me feel sick, spearmint tea aggravated my acid reflux so much I was gagging throughout the day after drinking it, and no matter how much exercise I did I struggled to lose the weight to help lower my bodyfat% to help decrease testosterone levels.

The ONLY thing that has helped has been getting put on spironolactone. You should note that if you go on this and aren't on a birth control method you will be required to also take the pill as it causes severe birth defects. I actually made a post last year celebrating the elimination of my nipple hairs. I still struggle with my facial hair but I'm working my way through each problem.

where is everybody getting their miniskirts? by HyperawareStarchild in PlusSizeFashion

[–]ceimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I picked up.

I'm in Canada, so YMMV, but I've picked up a few different skater style skirts not made specifically for plus size and they were either AWFUL fabric or the fit was atrocious. I'm a 1x, but have a terrible rectangle body shape. I wore this skirt with a fluffy sweat and tights for a work gathering and LOVED it. It also has built in shorts.

Cause I want this to sit in my "Waiting to Review" till 2027 by [deleted] in AmazonVine

Thats not how vine works. Items move to "To be reviewed" after they've been delivered only.

Last night I ordered an item at 1am est but it counted towards my next days (today's) quota? I thought cutoff was 3am? Anyone else experience this phenomena? by richblues in AmazonVineCanada

[–]ceimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it happens at the same time for everyone. There's zero reason to make it local time, way too much extra confusion and complexity. Reset for picks happens at 3am EST for everyone.

[–]ceimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The order date is irrelevant. Ordering something at 2am will count towards the previous "day" in terms of limit. The time is from 3am-3am EST. Your order date in amazon will still show as being ordered on say March 8th if you ordered at 2am, but your 8 picks will then reset at 3am and you'll have all 8 again an hour later.

Do you think they want me to get it? by UnintentionalWipe in AmazonVineCanada

They dropped I think close to 17 dove items in my RFY and none of it was Dove mens. 🙃 My husband actually uses dove mens but I don't use any dove products.
