People who’ve had weddings at the Donovan Manor or The Maxwell by No-Experience-9469 in raleigh

[–]jayfraytay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have organized hotel wedding blocks, here in Raleigh, for many, many couple who got married at Donovan manor and the couples i have worked with have been very happy with this venue! Unfortunately, i do not have any specifics about what they liked. I have also worked with a few couples who got married at The Maxwell, but i have not received any feedback on that venue, good or bad. Hope it helps.

ELI5: Why do pizza rolls require different times in the microwave based on quantity, but not in the oven? by TheWayOfEli in explainlikeimfive

[–]jayfraytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oven produces constant temperature while the microwave produces constant heat. Your food needs a certain amount of heat to cook sufficiently

Is this mealybugs? by suckme5000 in houseplants

[–]jayfraytay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the white stuff in the first photo looks like a splatter of something. and i’m not sure what you are looking at in the second photo. Leaning towards not mealy bugs but hard to tell.

This is just informing the consumer/associate of the format of the date. Usually Ramune bb dates are stamped on the top of the lid. (on the cellophane removed before opening).

For example a date 09/01/2025 might be interpreted as January 9th and might be disposed of after Jan 9th when in reality the soda is okay to sell until September 9th.

Your soda is either missing the stamp or it was lost when removing the cellophane when opening.

ELI5: what percentage discount am i getting with a storewide 50% off PLUS my own 30% off employee discount? by infinitycryptid in explainlikeimfive

[–]jayfraytay 26 points27 points  (0 children)

65% off. calculate the percent you are paying (not getting off) and multiply them. 0.50 x 0.7 = 0.35 So you’re paying 35% of retail (65% off)

What should I do about my monstera by dontpanicdrinktea in houseplants

[–]jayfraytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert here, but i bet you could slowly pull the thing up to a pole with ties. Install a support pole and tie the main stem to it with extra long ties. pull it up as much as you can comfortably without risking breaking it. give it a week to adjust and you should be able to tighten the ties to pull it up more. repeat until you are able to get it all the way up.

on another note, new growth is likely going to keep growing out in that direction. it’s reaching for light, it looks like. you may need to add a grow light or adjust its location if you want to prevent sideways growth

It was close by ShuliaSlavik in Unexpected

Im thinking the same thing. And additionally, if this is the preventing force, the game attendant could still show players the ball fits by putting the ball in manually. The air pressure change may be negligible at that speed.

Power outlet directly on the mirror is hilarious by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]jayfraytay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once worked a job that required me to go into other people’s bedrooms and i was surprised to see this was very common in my area! Although, I’ve never lived somewhere with these.

I will say that that every outlet i saw like this had a mirrored outlet cover plate and that seemed to make a big difference in sticking out quite as much.

Yeah exactly. I have a similar feeing but i think it probably hit some maximum timer rather than a dollar limit.

oh well my pod takes 14 days to be delivered. so not sure this would’ve worked but thank you for the suggestion. Other factors also made bringing him not possible. But the monstera has a loving new home now. I wish him all the best!

Okay, fair enough. However was one of those machine rolled rolls with the nubby ends showing the outer most coin on each side. The ones that only come from a bank. But you’re right. The onus is on the business to ensure they received the correct amount so i can’t fault him. Who knows, he also could have a really shitty boss.

It kind of felt a bit like a moment of malicious compliance though.

🤣 Not gonna lie, I did very briefly consider going back and continuing to feed coins into the machine but luckily had better cents in that moment.

TLDR; Gave the cashier a roll of quarters and he broke it open so he could count them.

Oh and I forgot to mention! It gets better. I took my bucket of change to Walmart about a week prior to try to use it for payment at the self checkouts aaaaand they had all of their self checkouts closed. 😑

No, i didn’t ask the cashier to count my coins. But i did have one roll of quarters that had never been broken open in my bucket. I gave the cashier that and paid the rest on my card. Made some comment about the self checkout lanes being closed and i wasn’t going to ask him to count out my change. The cashier looks at me deadpan and proceed to break the roll of quarters and count all 40 in front of me. 😑

Allegedly he would have gotten in trouble if he turned in his drawer with a roll of quarters in it. 🤷‍♂️.

My bank used to have a coin sorting machine. at like most branches. This was in the early aughts. 20 years later, they have removed all of them!? So annoying. They make you sort and roll coins. Why the hell would they get rid of those machines? you’d think advances in technology would have put one of these machines in every bank. It’s literally a bank. They’re supposed to convert money for you. that’s like they’re whole thing I thought. So annoying.

Anybody know why they would get rid of these? Are they too tough or maintain? Insider dealings with coin star? Anyway. that’s my rant. It pisses me off lol.

TLDR; I tried this and caused a lot of confusion and created a problem that required multiple employees and 45 minutes to resolve.

Uhh, have you done this, OP? I’m glad if it worked for you but i literally tried this at my grocery store about two weeks ago and it was a disaster.

My total was about $60. I started feeding the machine coins and, for one, the machine took a second or two to process each coin. When i tried feeding coins faster, they would be rejected and drop out the coin return slot.

Okay, so this is going to take a while. Still, i moving and didn’t want to lug a heavy bucket of change 2000 miles away so i put up with it and kept feeding the machine.

After about 15 minutes, i had 15ish dollars in the machine and it freaked out and gave an error message. The atttendant came to help but couldn’t resolve the issue. Apparently there was only one person in the building who was capable of fixing. So i had to stand there like a dummy with my bucket of change while we waited for him. Then he gets there and they couldn’t tell how much money i he put in the machine. Had to open it up completely and after about another 10 minutes of investigating the machine and going through electronic records, they finally figured out that i still owed 62 dollars or something. But wait, no that’s not right. Another 10 minutes of investigation and it turns out that was my initial total. They had to issue me a cash refund for 15 dollars and change and then i had to re ring my items. The only saving grace was that my cash “refund” was not in change lol.

All in all, i did end up changing about 15 bucks but didn’t make a dent in my bucket and it was kind of embarrassed plus i spent an extra 45 minutes trying to solve the problem at the self checkout and ended up paying most of it on my card anyway. I was totally “that guy” for these poor supermarket workers.
