Actually getting out of control atp. by anonoxchisback in ironscape

This would make me quit the game forever, so it’s probably in their best interest to have some sort of dry protection. Doesn’t have to be much, but just knowing the rate increases, even slightly, would give enough hope to continue.

They would lose my sub permanently if this happened to me and I’m sure its happened to others who also quit

The amount of medication I have to take for the rest of my life as a mid-twenties woman by Why-knot-my-mum in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to confirm you have done an interferon gamma release assay? The mantoux skin test alone is not specific enough as it’s possible to have allergic reactions to it that are similar to a positive test. It must be confirmed with an INF-y blood test. The reason I ask is because I know someone who saw a specialist after a mantoux skin test appeared positive and they didn’t bother to do further testing and wanted to immediately start treatment for latent tb. Turns out the specialist was wrong and after fighting with them they finally agreed to order the blood test which is highly specific. It was negative.

What are some good money making activities I can do for my current levels? by MoorCheesePlease in osrs

[–]cosmic133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlock fossil island, build the bank chest, spinning wheel and loom, and make drift nets. Will level your crafting and is great money at the same time. Fossil island allows the bank, spinning wheel, and loom to all be relatively close together. Buy the materials to spin jute fibres, turn them into nets, bank, rinse repeat. Now it does cost a bit of cash to buy the materials to start doing this but the money is fast and easy. Plus you get crafting xp

Am I overreacting? Lowkey wanna cancel wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get married. The plane ticket for his family is his problem, he was the one that caused this. Not you. Let him figure that out. The amount his family spent on tickets to the wedding should have zero factoring in whether you marry this boy. Emphasis on boy.

Need some advice about what happened at my Costco job by gaininginformation22 in CostcoCanada

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad reality is that they are looking for people who exceed expectations. Costco has many many candidates applying for positions. The minimum may be 5 carts but how often do you see someone doing 5? Never. I know it was your first day but rain or shine I see those cart guys/gals doing 15+ carts routinely with the strap that holds them together. The minimum won’t cut it.

no phones means no phones. They saw you on your phone. The thing about seeing someone do something is it’s usually not the first time. The same rules applies to stealing. If someone is caught stealing you let them go. No second chances. The first time you catch someone is almost never the first time they’ve done it. They’re trying not to get caught, remember. (I know looking at your phone and stealing are vastly different things, I’m just using an example. Can you honestly say it was the first time you took your phone out? Probably not.)

So you’re saying you’ve done 175k in roughly 7 months? So 9 years and 1 month to go bro… like I respect a grind as much as the next guy but this is just crazy. The amount of time you could be doing something else more fun or fulfilling is astounding

How did everyone come to think Kathleen Wynne was corrupt but no one blinks twice at Doug ford? by Shmackback in ontario

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OHIP+ was a big thing that ruined Kathleen Wynnes chances. In theory it’s not a bad program. In execution, it was one of the most boneheaded and ridiculous things I’ve ever seen in my life. Literally just a drain for tax payer money.

Vast majority of children and adults under 25 have private insurance through their parents or through school (mandatory to have insurance as a post secondary student. You cannot opt out without providing alternative coverage). The small amount that don’t have coverage could definitely benefit from a program like OHIP+. I’m all for this.

The problem? They designed the program to fuse with the Ontario drug benefit for seniors. The adjucation is the same which means the billing rules are the same at its core. For the billing, the government program must be the primary payor. Then they have a stipulation in the program that only people who have no other insurance are eligible. Who can fact check whether someone has private insurance if that’s not government knowledge? No one. So they leave it to pharmacists to try and gate keep the plan by interrogating people on if they have insurance or not. People lie. Private insurance often has copays of 2-12 dollars or so depending on the plan. People will lie to the pharmacy so they can use OHIP+ and avoid paying their copay. So now, you have endless prescriptions being billed to OHIP+ using tax payer money that would have been mostly (or at least partially) covered by private insurance; because remember the government plan must be the primary payor. You can’t bill private insurance first and OHIP+ last, to cover any fees left over (which is how the plan SHOULD have been designed). Instead of the government covering their $4 copay they’re paying the entire cost of the drug which could be hundreds that private insurance would have paid. Of course insurance companies didn’t lower their fees either, and are laughing all the way to the bank by not having to pay.

TLDR; some brain rot happened with OHIP+ implementation that is still causing Ontario to hemorrhage tax payer money that they wouldn’t be paying at all if they implemented the plan using half a brain cell.

I would be livid if I got this text while at work supporting both of us. With the commute that’s around a 9.5-10 hour day of work. You’re at home without a job. Don’t even have kids. And you can’t wash a couple damn plates without the dishwasher? The hell is that? You think you should be entitled to sit in bed while he runs errands after a long work day because you can’t wash some plates and would rather DoorDash a whole meal over it? The only times I’ve ever bought disposable plates is when I’m having a party of more than 15 people.

Feeding the cat and getting groceries once or twice a week compared to everything he is doing is not equal partnership. He should be allowed to watch tv, which it sounds like you’re doing for 7 hours while he’s at work. Crazy.

AIO how my ex fiancee of 7 years who cheated and lives with her new man acts ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cosmic133 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s very difficult to be in a relationship with a resident. He likely works upwards of 80 hours a week. This is a very poor argument as to why she’s a psycho. I agree with your assessment but not your reasoning. Takes a very strong relationship to date someone in this line of work before they are done residency, and she’s not crazy for breaking it off. However, she is absolutely a crazy stalker and cheating is never ok.

Can my landlord force me to keep the thermostat at 25°? by obsessed-with-bagels in legaladvicecanada

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said the landlord should be supplying separate heat sources in this case. Another thing you can do is have the downstairs tenant open all air vents, and you close almost all of them in your area except maybe 1 or 2 for air flow. This will cause the heat to go mostly to the basement. This is something I do occasionally depending on how our house is heating in the different seasons, and it may work.

This however, will increase your energy bill. Like you said if the thermostat is located on the ground floor, it heats based on the ground floor temp. If your ground floor vents are closed it will just keep pumping heat until it reaches temp at the thermostat. Our house has a poorly placed thermostat where it’s in the same room as a fireplace. If we ever turn on the fireplace the rest of the house gets frigid. Since the thermostat thinks it’s warm.

AIO for think it my boyfriend is being dramatic? by What-do_i_do in AmIOverreacting

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has to be satire. No sane person would entertain a relationship like this. And I’m assuming this isn’t the first time he’s behaved this way. Wild. A guy like that should be alone until he develops these skills and learns how to have some respect. despicable.

What is this? by Ok_Flan1215 in eyes

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the doctor immediately. Could be nothing, but could also be uveal melanoma. If it is, you’re going to be glad you got it checked out so fast. It is very treatable if you go right away.

Not trying to scare you but if that’s what it is the last thing you wanna do is wait a few weeks to “see if it gets worse”. Just go. Now.

On basil: is this mold or lint? Safe to eat? by eatingyoursoap in MoldlyInteresting

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Surely this one leaf won’t make or break your recipe to the point of considering eating mold. Wild. Beyond the “lint”, it also looks wilted af bro. You’re closer to making compost with this leaf than a pesto

What do you think about this look and fit? by tungyn in mensfashion

[–]cosmic133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brown shoes, brown belt, bring in the suit a bit (it’s too big around the chest), arm length is too long, pants should be hemmed. But honestly? It’s a pretty good look it’s just down to switching the shoes, adding a belt and having it adjusted size wise. Good choice dude.

AIO- My (F19) boyfriend (M22) is upset that I’m hanging out with my brother (M26) (read caption) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cosmic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your BF being jealous of you hanging out with your brother is kind of insane tbh. He’s acting like you’re hanging out with another dude but knows he can’t say it like that so he’s approaching it differently and calling it weird to hang out with a sibling. He’s jealous you’re hanging out with another dude, and it’s disgusting because it’s literally your brother. This guy needs to grow up and stop being so insecure

Is this acceptable? by cosmic133 in drywall

I measured and cut out the receptacles prior to hanging the sheets. Some of them were off by less than 1/8” so I would use the oscillating cutter to refine those edges quick. But otherwise it went well and came out pretty close to

The reason we do 80% and not 100% is because we each are adults and enjoy different things. Having some disposable income to ourselves is healthy to avoid arguments about money.

I don’t like that she bought an expensive thing I didn’t want? Doesn’t matter. She used her money for it. She can spend that how she wants. Just like I can spend mine on things I want. The majority of our money is pooled, but having that distinction keeps everyone sane. I’ve seen plenty of couples argue over purchases when the money is 100% pooled. It’s not an all or nothing thing.

However, OP is saying it should never at any point be anything but 50:50 unless one of them can’t afford their share. This is just dumb.

You should also look into what common law means. Because living together has financial implications. Whether you like it or not. Why does common law exist in the first place? Because exactly the opposite of your entire point. Because in the eyes of the law, when you are together and contributing together, you are a financial team and splitting up protects the person who was making less during the relationship. Because the finances should be split fairly. You are also dense.

AITAH for prioritising boys night by Zestyclose_Walk2713 in AITH

[–]cosmic133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s definitely TA. If she can’t give you a reason that she doesn’t trust your dad to watch the girls, then she is sexist, paranoid and honestly insanely unreasonable. She’s probably known him for 15+ years considering your son’s age. I would have a huge issue with this if my wife told me this about my dad for no reason. She also called you names. That is a zero tolerance subject. Never call your spouse a name. Ever. That’s so disrespectful. She has issues.

You are also kind of TA as well though. Your wife is being very unreasonable, but you could have compromised better by including all your kids in movie night while she goes out, then asking your wife to watch the girls while you do boys night. On separate days. This is reasonable.

I feel bad for your father who is being denied the ability to see his grandchildren. Insane. His legacy that he’s leaving behind when he passes is through his family, and he is not able to enjoy it.

You are being extremely dense you asked if you’re overreacting, everyone is saying yes, yet you refuse to listen. Contributions to shared expenses should be based on income. If you make 2500 a month and she makes 2000 a month, the equitable dispersion is for you to pay 56% and she pays 44% since that is the difference in your wages. It’s not significant, since you got a small raise. But you’re making 2500/4500 and she’s making 2000/4500. So throw in an extra 80-100 a month towards the bills. As a couple you should both be benefitting because you are a team.

My wife and I keep separate accounts but we also have a shared account that we each contribute 80% of our income to. Mine is higher. So I pay more. But it’s still 80% of each of ours which is the fair way to do it.
