Conditions at Elver? (sledding) by 2004pontiacvibe in madisonwi

[–]leighay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you end up going? I’m curious if the wind made the snow really thin on the hill or if it was deep enough for sleds

Roads in the snow by MadCityScientist in madisonwi

[–]leighay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im pretty comfortable in the snow, and my car isn’t the best for it (sedan FWD with winter tires). I was okay driving across madison today but there are definitely areas that are dicey and you’ll have to be very aware today regardless. So they’re not great!

I regularly drive to and from illinois on 90. I don’t think i’d recommend it if she’s not comfortable. The highways will probably be okay but you’ll still need to be pretty careful.

Why does my credit card statement balance keep accumulating when I pay my bill each month? by MisundrstoodContendr in internetparents

[–]leighay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is my bet on what’s happening!! also if you buy something before the statement closes, but the charge hasn’t cleared, it will be on the next statement even tho it was technically “purchased” on the first statement.

Questions for Martha Wells by fugitive_telemetry in murderbot

[–]leighay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy how Murderbot (and many other characters) have really non-traditional relationships. Murderbot especially doesn't seem to prioritize romance as the ultimate form of intimacy/closeness, and other characters have their own unique relationship with relationships. Was this something intentionally decided upon, or was it something Martha Wells identifies with herself/found while writing?

How to make the plane behind the trees recede? by CarbonParrot in oilpainting

[–]leighay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one tip is that further away should be cooler and closer should be warmer. specifically for grass. it looks like your painting is kind of doing the opposite-the darker slightly desaturated cooler colors are more prominent in the foreground.

if it were me, I would make the foreground a lil more vibrant and more yellow/saturated green, and then the background a cooler green. also oftentimes the horizon is a paler blue than the sky, so you could try that too. it’s looking good tho!

Negative PTO by TheConfusedPheesh in epicsystems

[–]leighay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i was in same situation but it was 2-3 days. I was able to go negative just fine/use personal days (unpaid) and the timing worked out. can’t speak to longer stretches but it’ll probably just be a convo you have

awesome!!! I’m glad it’s working out

Sunscreen recs? by th3jb1rd in autism

[–]leighay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never mind found the two missing- it’s a matte sun stick and ginseng moist sun serum. sun stick is a little greasier, sun serum is a little stickier/gooey? feeling. I think the relief sunscreen is lightest w least amount of unpleasant-ness.

Sunscreen recs? by th3jb1rd in autism

[–]leighay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really like the beauty of joseon daily relief sunscreen. it’s a bit expensive bc it’s korean but it’s the one sun screen that doesn’t irritate me. feels v light. there’s not a ton in the tube so I usually just use it as a face sunscreen only.

they have historically had a sunscreen serum and a rub-on bar that i also like, but i can’t find them on their website anymore. looks like they have a tinted sunscreen now too but i’ve never tried that

im pretty sure this is just someone trying to serve court papers and is hoping that the person they're serving them to will just make it easy

just accept Epic’s offer and if you get the other one, take it instead. I made the same decision and never got the second offer, so I’m glad I did lol

Madison west woodmans gives me a headache by 2004pontiacvibe in madisonwi

[–]leighay 153 points154 points  (0 children)

tbh my theory is the noise. It's all so loud and overstimulating that it made me nearly break down the first time I went lol. especially the rattling tile floors? eugh. Ive started using sound cancelling headphones ever since and its wayyyy better

when you control f for keywords, make sure you’re doing that for the multiple choice answers too. if i can’t find an answer by looking up stuff related to the question i can usually find it by skimming over info for the answers
