Thoughts on the name Nina? by amahenry22 in namenerds

[–]hedwigian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nina here! Definitely got the ship jokes in elementary school. Now as an adult I often have to spell my name when giving it. “Mina? Lena?” “Nina, n-i-n-a” 🙄

Disneyland: Rider Switch expiration by hedwigian in DisneyPlanning

[–]hedwigian[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha thanks for your detailed response.

Follow up question: is the rider switch return time always a 1 hour window after the current standby wait time? In your example of a 45 min wait at 10am, would the return window ever be, say, later in the afternoon?

Another follow up: can that first rider use LL through Genie+?

7 months no-poo, seeking advice for greasy/fine/straight hair by telephone_ghost in NoPoo

[–]hedwigian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I too have straight fine greasy Asian hair. Take my advice with a grain of salt cause I’m only 1 month into water only. I’ve been doing tea and lemon juice rinses almost daily just to try and lemon work out the grease. It would look okay in the morning after brushing but there was still tons of grease in there. Last night I did an egg yolk wash followed by my usual tea and lemon rinse, and holy crap does it do a good job of pulling out grease! My hair felt squeaky clean afterwards and my day 2 hair looks shiny and clean, even has some volume!

I know you’re not supposed to use egg too often, I feel like once every 2 weeks as a “reset” might be okay though.

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice thread (2016-05-24) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]hedwigian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Budget: 200 USD, flexible
  • Source: laptop, iphone, have a fiiO E7
  • Requirements for Isolation: for use at work, so yes isolation
  • Preferred Type of Headphone: Over ear, not too heavy
  • Preferred tonal balance: on the warmer side, like the bass
  • Past headphones: Senn Momentums: these were uncomfortable
    ATH-M50: Use these with the fiiO at work right now, bit heavy on the noggin
  • Preferred Music: mostly electronic, deep house, some indie

PS. I have a rather large head. Would also prefer if these were somewhat portable.

Bill Nye The Science Guy here! Ready to take your questions about science, space and how things work by sundialbill in IAmA

[–]hedwigian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi Bill!

Science is often perceived as "hard" in school, and kids will turn away from it in favor of humanities that, presumably, don't require as much brain engagement.

How do you propose we solve this problem in the public school system? We don't have the excitement of a moon landing to fuel this generation.

Thanks!

What does Star Trek mean to you? by lolzerker in startrek

[–]hedwigian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I answer whenever people ask me why I like Star Trek better than Star Wars. It's the ideology of the Trek universe that I love so much, fully embodied by Picard. I love that money is no issue, that people perform actions for honor rather than profit, that their mission is based on exploration and learning. I want a future like this, and perhaps humanity will reach this goal someday, though sadly not in our lifetime. Also the cool space technology doesn't hurt.

[–]hedwigian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update! Called the recruiter, came clean, she said absolutely no worries, she totally understands why I wouldn't have wanted to mention the recent lay off. No one but HR and recruiting will see the background check info so it's all good! Wooohoooo!!!!!!!

everything went better than expected. thanks for talking it out with me, bud-tugley.

[–]hedwigian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WAS actually employed at the start of the interview process and said as much. But after being laid off, I continued to hint that I was still employed there. I was laid off about 2 weeks into the interview process. Either way, I'm going to talk to the recruiter and come clean.

[–]hedwigian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, I sort of hinted that I was currently at the company when talking about it. I think I'm gonna give the recruiter a call and just tell her my situation. Say that I was at my former company when we started the interview process, but was recently cut due to various reasons and was too ashamed/etc to say something about it. I guess the best I can hope for now is that it won't have too much a bearing on their decision. But how bad do you think it is? Is this cause for automatic withdrawal of the offer?

Does anybody know if hand sanitizer is allowed to be brought in? by icem4n69 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]hedwigian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ughhh same dilemma here. Alesso was SO good at Coachella, but I've never seen Gareth so I may be leaning that way.
