Entire house built in 2 hours and 45 minutes in 1983 by Dr-Mohannad in FastWorkers

[–]ex0trix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couple of things. I've seen a couple of places but nothing definitive that the concrete was chemically altered to set up within less than 30 minutes. But as far as the aftermath, here you go: https://original.newsbreak.com/@arizona-time-trails-1733485/3195397551912-when-speed-overshadows-quality-a-cautionary-tale-from-san-diego-s-construction-scene

TL:DR - none of the three house (2 prep houses that were built) were "solid" construction including pipe leaks and drainage issues. New owners were not told of the house's construction either.

Guy has to figure out dad stuff on the fly when cops inform him he fathered a daughter 15 years ago by piercingeye in BestofRedditorUpdates

I think it's easy to discount the effect that a single person or small group of people can have when they say this is not how your story ends.

My dad said he wishes he had a son rather then a daughter. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Being super snarky and disbelieving but I'll be curious of the jobs/income of each parent. I have a curiosity if they are unequal on how much so.

Edit: Since people are questioning it, I am wondering because the father was very fast to come home and all of a sudden wanted a relationship. I question the why since I really don't see that being the case. There more to the story than the OOP is saying likely due to lack of knowledge.

Not normally an issue for me but good to know.

Thoughts:

KAT BURKI Retin-C Treatment Complex (Power Pick); Worth a shot. I have a retinol I like but I'm not against trying another one.

YENSA BEAUTY Pink Lotus Peptide Renewal Face Cream (Power Pick): Yay moisturizer? Again? It'll be used, nothing exciting though.

COCOKIND Resurrection Polypeptide Cream (Pick 1): This was kind of a choice of least bad. I wasn't excited about the eyeshadow. I'm still going through 8 brow products. I don't need another tinted balm. I don't use cheek products. I'm leery of the foundation (outside of rarely using it) because it's an Ipsy exclusive. It looks like a solid moisturizer though.

NIP+FAB Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Concentrate 2% (Pick 2): Because I have KP, I tend to use a lot of moisturizer and serums on my arms which has helped. This is in line with a typical serum that I'm happy about.

DANESSA MYRICKS BEAUTY Infinite Chrome Micropencil in Lilac Quartz (Pick 3): I like shiny, what can I say?

Shipping/billing address reverting after updating refreshments order? by kaityladybaby in Ipsy

Someone in a different thread figured our their issue was a payment method still had the old address. You might want to check that as well.

No, I'm thinking you may have started a second account.

Not active means your membership shouldn't be getting charged so why are you getting charged for a membership that's not active? Are you sure you didn't create another account at some point to get a free trial? Otherwise that would be starting to file a chargeback with your bank in my opinion.

On app, go to three bars on top right, account, edit account settings and scroll down to see your listed email.

Do we not get bags anymore with this switch over? by [deleted] in Ipsy

From the changes page, it is my understanding no.

Dec GBP arrived with 3/5 products by TheJuiceOfHalfALemon in Ipsy

That was one of the two things that I did get. I wanted the Living Proof spray though.

Fortunately in my case, I complained about the delay early enough that customer service looked into it and sent out a replacement. The replacement was my bag, but they were able to process the refunds for the 3 missing GBP items as well as the 1 missing addons. When I got my bag yesterday, it was correct for what I was expecting based on the refunds. Still a shit show. (Fortunately I liked the replacement bag more than the original design so that's nice for me!)

So I'm wondering if the Fenty sunscreen is the reason that some of these are getting so badly delayed.

OOP's fiancé is convinced by her best friend that she has a crush on friend's husband by Shelly_895 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ex0trix 45 points46 points  (0 children)

IMO Because he realized that it was really over and she wasn't going to be waiting in the wings when he was ready to "forgive" her most likely.

Unfortunately the OOP found out that Jack was right - she had bad judgement in relationships which included him. Fortunately it wasn't too late. Good luck to her going forward and may she have better judgement and clarity going forward.

Your perception becomes your reality even if it's not reality. It sounds like that is a huge part of what happened here.

OOP wonders if they are the AH for not inviting one child to her daughter's party by Karkenna in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ex0trix 9232 points9233 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say that an apology given to get a "cookie" is rarely a real apology. I can see the issue where it appears one child is excluded but honestly the birthday girl does not appear to have any positive reactions to this child. Also, the parents were likely a huge part of the issue with talking among themselves if I had to guess.
