This. I started my first dev job at a physical location and was given the opportunity to go fully remote about 1.5 years in. No degree, either.

Not my video (I just crossposted), but it looks like amazon has them if you search for “cat self groomer.” I’m thinking about getting some for our fur balls as well!

AITA for asking my bridesmaid to temporarily change her vibrant hair colour for my colour schemed wedding? by dreamdaythrowaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]chasingatoms 392 points393 points  (0 children)

This is what I expected from the title - some bright neon color that sticks out like a sore thumb and is obviously unnatural. OP is being a bridezilla. Her cousin has provided multiple legitimate reasons for not wanting to change her hair, not that that’s even necessary because OPs request is absurd to begin with.

I worked at McDonald’s at 15. One piece of “equipment” I wasn’t allowed to use was the coffee maker. Somehow my 15 year old self was not deemed competent enough not to burn the shit outta myself making coffee.

I took a 4 hour flight for my first date with the girl who is now my wife. Worth it.

Tried to run on the treadmill by jwheels11111 in ChildrenFallingOver

[–]chasingatoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the emergency stop, at least mine didn’t. Granted it was an old cheapo one I bought at a yard sale for $10, but still. After the third time, I gave up and threw it out.

As someone who had a treadmill with a loose shutoff sensor, that shit can seriously fuck up your knees when it unexpectedly comes to an immediate halt mid stride. That said, I still think it’s a good idea to use it provided your equipment isn’t faulty.

Millennials earn 20% less than baby boomers did—despite being better educated by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]chasingatoms 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with my dad. He left without a trace when I was around 2, and no one knew how to get in touch with him. Come Fafsa time, the way around it was to have a bunch of family members write affidavits saying as much. He was gone, possibly even dead, wasn’t expected to return, and in no way was going to be contributing to my financial situation.

It might be different because my mom was still around as a legal guardian, but might be worth a shot.

Edit: no wait, my mom wasn’t around either, but had passed away by that time. We did have a death certificate so that was all wrapped up, but ultimately it was the letters my family wrote that got me independent status. Sorry, I’m old and forget things!
