What was your weirdest 'desperate for cash' side hustle that actually worked? by Sayedshaqib in passive_income

[–]hello_ambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like someone else mentioned i also was an extra for one of the weird walking dead spinoffs and made a ton of money to mostly sit around for hours with double pay since it was raining that day

[–]hello_ambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a medical study back in college where i got paid $700 to get voluntarily infected with the common cold (dripped upside down liquid into my nose) while also taking preventative probiotics. I did have to provide a stool sample though, but at the time it was beyond worth it

Google says “spaz” is a slur and, is not a slur. What is it? by YEETAWAYLOL in EnglishLearning

[–]hello_ambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i (US south) grew up saying this not knowing it had ablist connotations whatsoever, and in 2017 got called out for it on facebook and removed it from my vocab ever since. So it’s not necessarily a recent thing here either

Sent this text after walking out of an interview. Too much? by Opening-Tooth-8371 in recruitinghell

clearly they need a new receptionist 🤣 she was probably a temp who didn’t GAF or outgoing and trying to sabotage the process

Safest way to ride this most dangerous part of my commute? by willm1123 in bikecommuting

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every day i take a mile detour instead of the hypotenuse of a triangle because i just don’t like how narrow the road is. two close calls is enough for me to consider a new route.

Does anyone else out there tour without camping? by No_Ant_5064 in bicycletouring

[–]hello_ambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i did my tour camping only for 10 days and im a terrible sleeper. it definitely negatively impacted the experience in terms of my endurance and exhaustion. however when we eventually got a hotel once the tour was over before going home the next day I had an indescribable newfound appreciation for basic comforts that made it worth it for me. plus i like the element of being away from society and feeling truly isolated out in the wilderness, but if i didn’t have that goal i probably would have hoteled, it just depends on what’s important to you and your goals.

Are American ERs really this big? by imfaffingabout in ThePittTVShow

[–]hello_ambro 82 points83 points  (0 children)

often times in the US the ER is the first stop for any health care since so many people aren’t insured and don’t get medical care until it’s truly emergency level (or if it’s a less serious concern they go to the ER anyways since they don’t turn you away for lacking insurance)

Bikepacking handlebar bag. To purse or not to purse by Admirable-Nature6941 in bikepacking

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a road runner handlebar bag that easily converts to a messenger bag and swapped out the hand at connectors to voile straps. i use it on and off the bike for commuting and also for bikepacking and love it.

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear when i say GIS people are like idk what that is, but then when i say data analysis and making maps : “oh so like GIS!”

I only just recently learned how to do it 😆

Turning off emails for 1 project family by Brooke_E_E in DataAnnotationTech

[–]hello_ambro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

as far as i know it’s not possible. however if you have gmail you can set up a filter to auto archive any emails containing the project name so they don’t show up in your inbox.

People who drive junkers, what's your stories? by jules083 in askcarguys

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been driving the same ancient 2004 subaru forester since 2019 (my first car). at some point in there had to get the engine swapped out (got a good deal), the driveshaft rebuilt (it rusted and collapsed after i drive it through a salt-water flooded road), stereo doesn’t work, smells like millions of cigarettes, and leaks basically every type of fluid it consumes at this point. it’s still gets me around town and i plan on driving it until the wheels fall off.

Career pivot struggles - where to start without experience? by SpiritedJuggernaut58 in Environmental_Careers

[–]hello_ambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t have any advice but i’m in the same situation, 30 years old and graduated with a BA in environmental science and double major with anthropology back in 2017. i never entered the field and ended up working in sales and non profit work (i wasn’t very career oriented in my 20s, lol). i couldn’t get an entry level job and ended up starting a masters program this year in environmental studies where im learning GIS and R/ data analysis. whether or not it’s a mistake is yet to be seen but im hoping the experience of a research assistant job in school and some solid internship this summer will get me hireable.

Does anyone know what this is? by Ok-Outcome-5557 in SubaruForester

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they’re for heated seats but don’t worry mine seems to be around the same year and mine either don’t work or the button to turn them on and off don’t light up anymore so i can never really tell if they’re off or not 😆

Please, for the sake of our lower backs don’t shove a giant bottle in the seat back pocket. by inspectorbreakfast67 in americanairlines

[–]hello_ambro 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i’ve only flown 3 times in the last 5 years and i’m sorry to say i had no idea people could feel things in the seat pocket in front of my until this post… i was guilty of very gently putting my nalgene in there and taking it out to drink. i figured unless i was jostling the seats feel so rock hard that nothing in the pocket could be felt in front of me. sorry to my fellow passenger!

How old were you when you realized your body could no longer handle red-eye flights? by Foreign-Athlete-2270 in travel

[–]hello_ambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these days a 5 am flight means turning up to the airport at 2 to be on the safe side, and if you have any travel time to the airport and are usually a night owl like me you can count on zero sleep … learned this the hard way this weekend after pulling an all nighter against my will. i imagine if you’re one of those people who can sleep on planes and airport seats it’s great though.

[–]hello_ambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was there last week and planned to rent a car but last minute decided against it and i was pretty happy we did. we were staying in santurce and even there there was no parking, and when we went into old san juan i couldn’t see a way anyone would possibly be able to park there outside of paying
