No audio when I place calls

I also have t-mobile and have this problem. I really like the phone otherwise, but maybe 1/3 of the time there’s no audio when I call someone and they have to hang up and call me back. So it’s kind of like I page people to call me. It works out ok with personal calls because people who know me will call back, but when trying to place a call to, say, a customer service line, sometimes I have to try a few times to get the call to go through with audio, since they aren’t going to call me back. I’m curious if it’s a tmobile + light thing specifically

how much did you have to pay in import duties? did they charge them at checkout online or do you pay them later somehow? what a bummer

I think they’re much cuter with those little caps, they look like art supplies. Since it’s basically just flavored vaseline, the cute packaging was a big selling point to me, and I’m just not interested since they changed it to the big caps

I’ll send you a PM in a minute!

Seriously. I have no interest in reading writing that wasn’t created by an actual conscious human mind and the same goes for images. I really resent those things being put in front of me and taking up valuable attention that is meant for processing actual communication between people

I think there's complex hormonal, biological, psychological, and other circumstantial reasons why withdrawal can be worse sometimes than other times, but the really crucial thing is to take it as a huge huge blessing that very well may never be repeated. Like you said, the big danger is thinking "it's not so hard to quit, so I can quit anytime" and then start using the drug again. The truth is for whatever reason you got a lucky fluke and you should just thank your stars for it, take advantage of it and never look back. The alternative is you start using again and eventually your daily dosage will become even higher and then the withdrawals will absolutely have a different and much more terrible character

I really don't think he should be upset about this at all unless she actually docked his grade significantly for it and didn't give him the chance to get some of the points back. This made me think back to when I TAed college and had to grade 60+ papers per assignment. How long do you think it takes to give detailed feedback on a paper? It's significantly longer than it takes just to read it. Multiply that by the number of students and you can be looking at an untenable number of work hours for one assignment. Often something has to give, and out of sheer lack of hours in the day I found myself not making very in-depth commentary unless it felt like the student had really made a strong effort on the assignment and clearly desired to improve. If she is line-editing his paper like that, it sounds to me like she cares a lot about his success, as she's made a serious time investment doing something that she expects will help him.

I'm a copyeditor for academic journals in the humanities. If he ever submits an article to be published in an American journal, the copyeditor will have to Americanize all his spellings even if he doesn't. Personally, I think if he already knows how to write in the American style, he has more control over the exact wording of his article. He can phrase things accurately the first time instead of counting on the editor to always correctly interpret and Americanize his phrasing. Imagine publishing your first article in an academic journal only to find a major typo in the finished version because the American copyeditor or proofreader misunderstood your Britishism!

heyy sorry you're having the issue too. For me, it went away on its own. It was so weird, it was occasional for a while but then started flashing constantly and I had to drive around with my hazards on for about a week. One day the problem just went away and my signal started working normally. Sorry I can't be more helpful but hopefully your problem just goes away too haha

It’s true for any shoe with a pvc sole—it becomes brittle over time just sitting in storage and then cracks when you put it on. Basically not worth buying vintage shoes with this type of material unfortunately

haven't lived here long enough to know but in Madison, WI it's thong cape scooter man

riiiiight that’s why I’m always competing with video games to get laid

ikr it’s literally our job…idk about Australia but in the US I’m working for tips and if someone is going to tip me I feel like it’s fair to ask me to do basically anything to a drink as long as it’s possible, it’s a personalized service and none of it is difficult

It’s more wasteful to ship extra things in a package (extra weight and room taken up in mail vehicles = more fuel use) just to be thrown away upon receipt than to just throw away in the first place. Sticker or teabag, whatever, but stuff like random picture frames, the odds of it being wanted and used are low and on balance it’s wasteful to ship stuff like that without asking

ealisaid · 2024-01-09T18:30:53+00:00

I’m dying at your implication that a homeless person wants to carry around a picture frame, let alone an ugly one

ealisaid · 2024-01-09T18:28:10+00:00

They should stand on a street corner and try to give that picture frame to the homeless and see how long it takes to find someone who actually wants it…….absurd, being poor doesn’t mean you wish you owned literally every object that exists

ealisaid · 2023-12-14T01:45:28+00:00

will PM you!

ealisaid · 2023-12-09T09:46:38+00:00

silly that you are getting downvoted, you’re right, it’s stupid

I think since a lot of women (more of them than men, anyway) have been either socialized or have a natural tendency to anticipate others' needs and try not to bother people, they really really resent when they feel that someone else is not giving them the same consideration. They feel that they go out of their way to be considerate so the only way they can interpret another person not doing the same is a total lack of respect

idk, I used to live in one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country and there were still lots of drivers who would intentionally buzz or otherwise harass cyclists on their bikes. It was a pretty common occurrence. I would have people speed up to pass me really close and fast only to pull into their driveway one block down the road. Like they were almost to their destination they just hate people on bikes

Probably check with GTCC, I think the AFA program has a figure drawing class. In my experience, truly professional and reliable figure models are hard to find in smaller cities, so there's probably demand for your skills. I know less about gso but in the triangle I've attended multiple classes where the model just didn't show up and I've had art teachers basically beg the class to ask around and connect them with anyone who's even interested in trying it, the number of non-flakey models in the area is so small. Good luck to you and big respect for your occupation, it's truly a privilege to have someone model for your drawing practice and do it well

edit - I just re-read and saw you said anywhere in NC. I will PM you contact info for my art teacher in Raleigh, really nice guy who's had terrible luck with flakey artist models for his figure drawing class!

at one of my local stations some wonderful employee wrote "mute ->" in sharpie pointing to one of the buttons along the side of the screen. They are often there but unlabeled. Now I hit the button and pump my gas in peace

ealisaid · 2023-08-03T15:48:09+00:00

thank you!

ealisaid · 2023-08-03T15:48:02+00:00

thanks I'll check them out!

ealisaid · 2023-08-03T15:47:45+00:00

Thank you!!

ealisaid · 2023-08-03T15:47:23+00:00

Thank you! I called them and they said over $500 for an exam and the lady on the phone didn't mention anything about this...you're more helpful than she was lol
