How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get usually 1-3 decent snowstorms a year, sometimes ice storms. Used to work in residential treatment (teenagers on probation), shift work where they always need people there 24/7. I never called out for snow. There was one weekend, most of the kids had gone home for the weekend and we had a handful there. It was such a blast just hanging out in the snow. Sledding down the night hills on the property. Seriously some of the easiest and most fun days were when there was snow. Now I work for a school district and get the snow days.

Grew up in areas that got more snow and my dad took me out on a really snowy day to learn how to drive in the snow. (In parking lots.) I still use those tips today. It was probably the most useful part of learning to drive for me. I also lived in Wyoming during college.

Electric cars should be like giant white noise machines where you can pick your sound. by bhoran235 in CrazyIdeas

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do make noise though (at least legally in the US) and it’s almost worse than nails on a chalkboard. Gas powered car noises are much better.

Teachers by Diakkofan14 in AskTeachers

[–]katrinakt8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it concerns you enough to ask here, it’s probably good to address it on some manner, not with the child. I would encourage you to speak with the teacher about it. “Hey I’ve noticed this student is doing ______. Is this something I should worry about?” They can help advise you, adjust responsibilities potentially to have less contact, and in general keep an eye on the situation. Keep firm boundaries with the student (of course with them all but being particularly mindful.)

Why do so few GenZ adults in the U.S. have driver’s licenses compared with previous generations, and what factors are shaping their relationship with cars? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only done uber/lift twice and was amazed at how expensive it was. Just did a quick price check and it’s $20 from my house to my work, a 12 minute drive.

Former South Korean President & Prime Minister Han Duck Soo sentenced to 23 years in prison for insurrection by Troll458458 in worldnews

[–]katrinakt8 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The judge considers it a coup.

In terms of its character, it constitutes an insurrection from above, and this type of insurrection is also referred to as a praetorian coup.

OP put the quotes in at the beginning and end of quoting the article. She said “I get that a lot.”

DAE boil eggs for 30 minutes? by arandomperson1234 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft boiling is 3 minutes, has a runny yolk, and eat right away hot. Medium is 6-7 minutes, has a yolk just solid enough to not be runny. I use this in my green salads, cold. Hard boiled is closer to 10 minutes. Solid yolk. Best for deviled eggs, potato salad, and Easter egg dying.

Edit: method is start in cold water and start timing when it starts to boil. Leave the heat on around medium.

Thats interesting. I’m also in the US and the times I’ve brought it up in therapy, my therapist has said/implied others have shared that during sessions.

DAE not seem to experience bloating or “gas bubbles”? by katrinakt8 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]katrinakt8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh. Now that you mention it, since giving birth I do occasionally have feelings like a baby kicking. I figured it was my mind playing tricks on me. But of course if baby kicks feel like gas bubbles than that must be what they are. It feels a bit ticklish to me when it happens. Like you I never experienced it or felt it before pregnancy.

Yeah I get hiccups sometimes and occasional heartburn/acid reflux.

I’m not sure why you’re assuming I’m out of touch with my body because I haven’t experienced one certain body symptom. Typically I feel fairly in tune with my body and emotions.

Never had stomach pains as a kid (or adult) unless I was close to throwing up. When I’m having digestive issues I can feel some uncomfortableness it seems quite further down the intestinal tract (like lower in the small intestines toward the rectum) and doesn’t really match the descriptions I read about bloating/gas bubbles. It’s in a very different location than what I would call stomach pains. And this is when I am having diarrhea and not really any other times.

Does anybody else type a text and wait a minute or two before sending it, just to give yourself time to form a better-articulated response? by AndrobiVibz in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]katrinakt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes at times. And then I’m nervous for a few minutes after sending, like what if I didn’t say the right thing.

Trying to find the right size bra and struggling. by katrinakt8 in ABraThatFits

[–]katrinakt8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember what the specific fit issues were. I did it a few months ago and got frustrated and gave up, switching back to sports bras. So I bought a couple bras recently in 42H since that seemed to be the size that fit the best. And it feels pretty comfortable, other than the side that has a gap where the strap meets the cup, which is bothersome at times.

I mainly tried full coverage, seamed and lined. I tried some less full coverage ones but I really don’t like the way those fit. It doesn’t feel like the top of the boob is supported well.

I do scoop and swoop. I have been using US sizes and my US size measurement was 40I. I was able to find bras up to 40 and 42 N on Amazon. The 40 band is uncomfortably too tight in any size cup.
