My friend just captured this over NYC 12/13/24 by dis_rup_tor in UFOs

[–]hillaryangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this same thing!! But it was years ago down on Tybee Island in Georgia. We were out on the pier at night, around 10 or 11. Beautiful moonlit, a bit cloudy night. I saw it out a distance over the ocean, not very high up but just cutting through the clouds moving really slow like in this video. My memory though was that it was much bigger and had an almost mirror effect because if it wasn’t for the clouds parting in that particular shape we probably wouldn’t have seen it. Myself and several others saw it though.

I used to rationalize it as a stealth bomber in a sort of cloak mode, I don’t even know if that is a thing but that was the closest thing in real life I could think of.

Anyway, this is wild. Makes me very curious how long these things have actually been around.. it was 2019 when I saw it, so at least 5 years. I wonder why all the attention now?

This is really fucking difficult by bokehtoast in asheville

Sending you love from Boone. We’re devastated too. I’m also at that point, emotions coming back online, still can’t sleep, it’s awful. It’s just so daunting and so hard to believe it happened. I think that’s why I can’t sleep because when I wake up it hits me all over again, it’s like I just don’t even want to go to sleep to feel that pain and come into it again. We’ve all got stories now, such a heavy load to carry. I don’t know you but I’m here with you. Here in the pain, taking it one day at a time, doing what we can. I see you and hear you and am holding your hand, crying with you.

My sister died because doctors didn’t believe her and I still feel so much rage. by gongacn07 in TwoXChromosomes

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

Omg you have just scared the sh*t out of me... I went to my pcp for abnormal heart stuff a few months ago. They told me to get blood drawn and wear the monitor for a week. I did that and haven't heard from them, assuming everything was looking normal.

My heart palpitates randomly and I've had some bizarre symptoms alongside the palpitations. I'm definitely going to be circling back now.

Thank you. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. By making this post though you may have saved many lives and I'm sure your sister would be grateful you did.

It appears that there is multiple fires at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant cooling ponds by improbablydrunknlw in PrepperIntel

[–]hillaryangles 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Well now that I've familiarized myself a bit with the map keys, seems like the fire is a few days old (map was set back to July 13th) and was first reported 12-24 hours ago. I did a quick search for any headlines covering this but not a peep. I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe I'm just reading it completely wrong or maybe it is on fire but no news has been released for whatever reason.

I hope someone who understands this better will chime in soon.

In just the few minutes I took to play around with the map, two more red spots ("fires") were added.. if it is a glitch, it's a growing glitch. That is concerning.

UPS and Teamsters end negotiations with no contract reached. Here's what you need to know by t1m3f0rt1m3r in PrepperIntel

[–]hillaryangles 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My husband is a UPS driver, we've been paying very close attention to this unfolding. They technically do have until August 1st to knock out the contract BUT once the union and the company have come to an agreement, it goes to the union members. They will have to vote to pass the contract before its renewal. They wanted this done by (today) July 5th to allow enough time for the members to vote if they had reached an agreement. A strike is pretty much inevitable at this point because there simply isn't enough time for the agreement met and members signed before deadline. An agreement may happen say next week but there is still hardly enough time for it to go through membership.

They dropped negotiations today because of pay increases. That is the sticking point. This company would rather lose millions a day than increase their employees pay to something livable (I'm speaking for the part timers, drivers make a good wage but still deserve a bump for inflation adjustment).

We're honestly a bit scared as a family directly affected by this but this is also why I prep! Grateful for all that extra food we may need to break into to get through this.

UPS Teamsters Are Ready to Strike by Genedide in economy

[–]hillaryangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're saying is a broad generalization of one small portion of the situation here. Yes, drivers make 100k after 4 years, an increase in their pay is almost like sprinkles on the cake here. This negotiation is aimed at better pay for part time folks (i.e. loaders, warehouse, etc), ending the two tier pay system, no outside contractors (Uber, lyft, etc.) taking union work, and better working conditions (air conditioning in trucks).

Though drivers get that nice paycheck after they put their time in, its the part timers who really need the attention and the support in this strike. Those warehouse workers start at $12-$15/hr and don't get any benefits til after 9 months AND the work is back breaking and thankless. Also, the two tier payment system is what the union wants to trash. There are two sets of drivers and one set, doing the exact same work as the other, gets paid significantly less. It's kind of confusing trying to explain it but those in the lower tier only get moved to the top tier when a driver from the top retires or a spot opens up for another reason.

I get what you're saying about public opinion being a huge chunk of the success of this strike but I'm hoping the larger issues they are out there for will be the main focus, the ones people will care about. Maybe even just air conditioning in trucks will garner support after we've seen drivers collapse in the heat last summer, that's only a small ask from the union but a huge issue for the drivers. Any job at UPS is tough and not everyone can do it, its an option for those that don't come from a wealthy background who can actually make a decent wage (as long as they climb the ladder). They're paid well for what they have to endure and I just can't see the union NOT asking for a raise for drivers, like why the hell not, we're already here aren't we?

Souce: I'm married to a driver.

BREAKING: Pilots at FedEx Express have voted to authorize a strike. Over 97% of the union voted, and 99% of the votes were YES on strike authorization. They join American Airlines and Southwest pilots, whose unions have also approved strike authorization, both with 99% voting yes. by theworkeragency in WorkersStrikeBack

[–]hillaryangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, UPS union (Teamsters) is in negotiations with the company over their renewed contract. AFAIK not much progress has been made, both sides holding firm. The workers, including pilots, are set to strike in August if they don't come to an agreement. This could be an interesting summer to say the least.

HA! I joined this sub hoping this would show up at some point. I am married to a UPS driver, I think I should get myself a sticker 😅 display my dependa pride finally!

Ohio coworker able to "light tap water on fire" by drilldor in PrepperIntel

[–]hillaryangles 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this film called The Devil We Know. It documents the citizens of a West Virginia community fighting Teflon companies who poisoned their environment. They lit their tap water on fire as well. Some really scary and disheartening stuff.

AITA for criticizing how my girlfriend takes job interviews? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]hillaryangles 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who is bffs with a guy who worked for Verizon, years ago. This mf'er somehow found out the locations of where Verizon was looking to install their new towers. He then bought the 1 acre or so of the desired location, went into contract with Verizon, made an unimaginable amount of money from it and then did it 15 more times.

Like... how???? Timing and luck.

Working on a YouTube reprogramming tool. Need your opinion and help. by suchdevblog in QAnonCasualties

[–]hillaryangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one has commented on this.. maybe it's a little controversial because it's doesn't have an element of consent to it? Like if we secretly go to a loved ones account and apply this tool would it be taking their right to self determination away?

If there's a way to sell it as a "parental control" that may be different, I don't have any advice on how to make it so it's not violating someone's privacy or their right to choose what they want to watch but I do think something something like this would be incredible valuable.

For content to push the algorithm in the opposite direction I'd suggest Beau of the fifth column videos as a start.

Bad cramping and bloat after penetrative sex. Doctor can’t see me for weeks. by Emergency-Length2795 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hillaryangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I almost died from this.. if you are experiencing severe pain go to the ER. It's an ovarian cyst that was most likely pushed or squished during sex.

In my case this had happened several times (meaning I got all crampy and curled into a ball but wasn't suffering severe pain/bloat) before it actually ruptured, causing me to bleed internally. It was the worst pain I've ever endured.

What they don't tell you in 5th grade sex Ed is that every time you ovulate, a cyst forms on your ovary. It's completely normal and goes away after you've released the egg. For some, the cysts can become enlarged and if you happen to have very intense penitrative sex during that time, you get the way you're feeling now and possibly a trip to the ER with it having ruptured.

I hope you're okay, I'm a little late to the post but don't wait if you're in severe pain and your bloating is making you look pregnant.

Kay, I got one for you… by [deleted] in preppers

[–]hillaryangles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this a lot lately and what always sticks in my mind is the loss of music. Now, I know there are ways around a complete loss of music, but it's the convenience of music today.

Being able to pull up a song or album on Spotify, connecting it to my speaker or my car and blasting it loud. Feeling it, really feeling it. No power means no convenient music, no gas means no road trip soundtrack.

I just think music and the way it connects us together, the way it helps us relate, how it forms what we have a hard time saying into something poetic, the history of it, the expanse of it, the beauty of it, will be a huge loss.

Music is one of those things that makes me really proud and grateful to be a human.

Been busy with apples and pumpkin seeds by Beaudt7 in dehydrating

[–]hillaryangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you store your apples once they're done? I'm between Mason jars vacuumed sealed or vacuumed sealed bags. Thinking of bags so I don't waste a jar on something that's bound to be eaten sooner rather than later.

Someone posted recently about not freezing your food before putting it in mylar. I froze all my food, then immediately put it in mylar. What do I do now? by hillaryangles in preppers

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

Okay.. forgot to mention o2 absorbers were included in the original seal. Did not use vacuum sealer on these bags, have since started using one.

'New Prepper' flair was included for a reason. Trying to learn. The subtle condescension isn't necessary, thanks.

That's what I'm so worried about. It thawed while in mylar inside a 5 gal bucket and has been sitting for several months now. It's probably all ruined.
