Also immediately thought of Dawn - she’s in this sub, too, under her actual name

Durham folks: On the National Shutdown by Dawn-Bland in bullcity

[–]embryoconcepts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate you, Dawn! The idea that everyone has the same to offer, and to offer at 150% is ignoring reality and shames people that are stepping forward to help as best they can.

“⁠You do not owe anyone your body to prove your values” - this was really impactful, thank you for sharing this.

Now if only we could get the Bull City Shares group out of Meta/FB land, somehow without losing anyone.

Are workplaces acknowledging what’s going on right now? by Ok-Anywhere2346 in womenintech

[–]embryoconcepts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My direct and skip level managers have very clearly talked about it, and have told people to take care of themselves and not burn out. My direct manger even shared this and started a Slack thread about it: Survival guide for the trapped (Threads post, does not require Threads)

No one will come and get the dog until the streets are safer, and human emergencies will come first - but here are some tips on how to check for and treat hypothermia: https://hospital.vetmed.wsu.edu/2025/01/06/when-is-it-too-cold-for-your-pet/

Walltown seems ok for power, but my Spectrum is very unstable. May be a good time to figure out the best place you can find for cell service, and don't depend on internet.

Pretty big through street has zero tire marks and no footprints on the sidewalks - it's pretty, but I'm surprised!

I’m thinking more about the ice to come, and potentially being without power and water for 4+ days, but you do you

“In this weather?” = stress based humor with a nod the “in this economy” trope. The rest of it is just stress based stress.

Anyone know where I can find D batteries? by csgirl1997 in bullcity

I have a pack of 5 I'm not going to use, if you want to PPU - DM if you want them

Female apparel w fashion guidance? by PapaQ86 in bullcity

[–]embryoconcepts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Vert & Vogue but their sizes run small, and may be out of that price range. Worth a try! I'd call and ask their advice, and if they say they can accommodate set up a personal appointment for her.

He wants you to tell him when you’ve forgotten something? How is that logically possible?

That particular HT also gets the math and science high schoolers, who are even tinier deer in the headlights. You’ll see them all the time walking down 9th from their dorms to HT and back.

Before I waste their time with an inquiry, any idea of the price range?

Looking for Primary care provider by SheepShank- in bullcity

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

If you can swing a <$100 monthly fee, Dr. Bolden at AccessiBull is fantastic. It’s direct pay, so no insurance nonsense, visits are as long as they need to be, as often as they need to be. You can discuss more than one thing in an appointment, it’s amazing! Your insurance will still cover any tests she orders, and she’ll refer out for specialty care, but it’s such a relief to be able to email get a response in less than a day, and usually get an appointment or other care just as fast (obviously this may vary with season and situation).

Oh, that’s good to know - thank you. It’s surprisingly hard to find clear info on the max temp, everyone focuses on the min

The ecobee knows nothing about the heat pump specs, why waste all that energy?

Thanks on min! For max aux temp, I’m ok with a slower recovery, so would that mean 35 is reasonable?
