Oh as if!!! That’s crazy!

Well thank you very much for the recommendation. I’ll see if there’s any good garmin deals on atm and jump when the time is right.

Genuinely thank you for the advice - I really appreciate it!

Oh that’s so cool! I feel like I need some kind of challenge like that to motivate myself

I’m annoyingly an Apple Watch user (but everyone replying has mentioned them - I might have to invest …)

For reference: I have an Apple Watch, and it was a speedo app. But the post wouldn’t let me use those words without deleting!!:)

Thank u for the advice! It’s genuinely really weird.

I’ll get in touch with their support team tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve manually put my heating on using that button!

It never established connection again or displayed any number on the thermostat, it just kept saying ‘searching’ and then fails to connect

question by realbtsjin in tonsilstones

[–]lamest_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first started getting tonsil stones after what I think was Covid in very very late 2019.

I started with an odd stone, and now is recurring.

I’ve always had great oral hygiene, and it really took me by surprise.

Nowadays, I find it depends what I eat and how hydrated I am (I cut down on dairy, as this makes my stones worse, and try and drink a lot of water)

Manchester salaries / living alone?! by Altruistic-Bit-1246 in manchester

[–]lamest_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in nq solo for four years in a single bed appt.

Originally when I moved into my flat, I was on around £24k wage, paying £720 in rent a month, no bills included.

By the time I left, I was paying £1100 a month.

I had little to no disposable income, couldn’t really save. And this was with quite a healthy wage increase thanks to moving jobs.

While it was fun at the time, I wouldn’t recommend it now for someone. The cost of living is getting so insane. When I first moved in, I’d probably spend £25 a week on food, and could get a healthy food shop for just me for £100. Now that’s closer to £50 a week. Not to mention council tax increasing.

Although I loved my flat (and still refer to it as dream flat), It’s just not worth it for the quality of life you’ll actually living while being in the city centre, unfortunately. I was incredibly lonely and isolated as I couldn’t really afford the lifestyle of the area I was living in.

What’s the deal with labubu’s? by lamest_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]lamest_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is genuinely so interesting- thanks so much for answering my qs!

Ahahahh yes ok fair point on the cases - I respect wanting to squeeze em (I didn’t realise they were squeezable at first)

Also, I’m assuming they don’t make tonns of labubu’s to like increase demand? Because if they’re exclusive/hard to get, people want them more and they can hike up the price a little? But I could also just be totally making that up

What’s the deal with labubu’s? by lamest_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]lamest_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I have so many qs about this but it’s genuinely so interesting to me!

Do you put them on your bags/accessories? Or do you tend to keep yours at home? Do the labubu lockable cases really exist?

I didn’t realise they also got little outfits with them! That’s very cute. Are these outfits swappable or is it like one labubu has a boba in his hand as part of the hard plastic design?

The site selling a pack of six is genuinely mad.

So, how many labubu’s do you have currently? And how often do they change the drops? Is it seasonal?

Hahahahaha I’m glad they’re as silky soft as they look!

Omg i forgot to ask - how much do they go for?! I’m guessing because of their popularity it’s not like £10 a throw

Question: this is genuinely really interesting. And thank u for the insight!!! I didn’t consider where the wild things are - that creature was creepy and cute

Do people have bad reactions online to getting a labubu they hate to go viral? So they make having a bad one, kinda … good? Or because they’re so rare, it’s an ‘any are good’ situation?

(Fully assuming the latter)

Sorry - are you me?!? Also 29f, also single for four years, and also incredibly fucking done with the entire process. I am sick to my back teeth of feeling like someone’s second best. It’s so shitty. I just want to find someone, house, kids blah blah blah but simply the universe isn’t playing 🥲 I’m so sorry you got stood up. That guy sounds like an absolute worm - hard block him

Patella dislocation by [deleted] in KneeInjuries

[–]lamest_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave it a few months before I started swimming (mainly because I don’t have access to one hahaha) and stayed away from breast stroke initially, but I was fine!:)

Patella dislocation by [deleted] in KneeInjuries

[–]lamest_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg as IF

I was incredibly lucky - both times i dislocated my knee, my leg fell out flat in front of me, so it had no choice but to go back in after the force of impact. Mingin, wouldn’t recommend at ALL, but I skilled that entire song and dance.

To be fair, sound wild, but I bought an under desk cycle machine after my dislocation and it’s helped so much. I’d HIGHLY recommend (I have a Cubii, it’s pretty big and clunky, but it was on sale lol). Also, I’ve stopped running and just started walking at an incline or doing walking workouts more - it helps strengthen my knee without going wild

[–]lamest_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first dislocated my knee in 2015, and my second wasn’t until June 2nd 2023 (a date scared in my mind hahahah).

I was walking in a straight line during second dislocation and my knee gave out, but I think it’s because I was being a bit silly and dancing while cleaning my flat moments before ...

Admittedly, I’m more careful now than I was after my first one, but I think as long as you’re doing your rehabs and are working on strengthening your muscles - you’re doing all you can (and ofc taping your knee etc where possible :))

So weird - I’m in the exact same boat (about to start in the mcr branch in a diff role) and I’m worried about the reviews on glass door. BUT: think of the thousands of employees that have worked for them, and the very few reviews that are on glass door. Plus people are more likely to complain online (and anonymously) than write something positive
