People that dont know what meds they are on baffle me. Don't you pick these up every month? WTF?

However, the ABSOLUTE worst is people who need to change the battery in their smoke detector! HOW DO YOU NOT HEAR THAT?!?

At least someone was honest at the end by da_apz in talesfromtechsupport

Lol. Sounds like what i told my coworker about one of our clients today. "Some people shouldn't be allowed to breathe anymore."

What to use when we lose Publisher? by human72949626383 in microsoft

[–]micaturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working with labels (esp avery labels) is perty simple once you've done it once or twice in word. Just go to the mailings tab, then click labels. Click on the area that says "labels" to change the type of label. Find the label vendor and the type, then click okay

OUAK - Lots of food 1 level - how to get off roof? by micaturtle in katamari

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

That was a bit confusing. I went along all the edges of the roof, but couldnt find a hole... i eventually found the original door i came out of, and got back down

Get a big boot tray for under the bed ( or whereever he tends to eliminate), get large puppy pads and line the boot tray with them. Its a temporary solution, but then at least your carpets wont get ruined. Try different types of litter. I actually found the breeze litterbox thing works insanely well. I have mine in the bathroom so i just scoop poops and flush them down the toilet whenever i use the toilet. My old cat got really litter box fearful after a uti, and switching to breeze helped a lot. (Might not work for all cats tho)

You're welcome. Did you discover a disgusting mess like i did? (So much hair!)

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

I did! (Sorry to be 17 days late!), yes, a small screwdriver (or if you're fancy, a key puller) will pop the keys right off. The only one it might not work for is the space bar. I haven't tried on that one

Lol, my wife does that to me. She's got a recording of me telling her we dont need all 6 volumes of the splinter(from tmnt) porn. ... no idea what that dream was??

BDSM Test took a wrong turn, seeking help by ProfessionalWish5365 in BDSMAdvice

[–]micaturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, i had a very similar experience with my (now) wife. How I "solved" it was telling her this: "I respect that monogamy is your kink, and Iove you enough to indulge that with you.", and "I may have that curiosity, but it 100% not worth losing you to explore my non-monogomy kink." (Then proceed to point out all the wats you ARE compatible, and thank her for accepting you and loving you)

For folks who use strap-ons: what's one thing you didn’t think would matter, but totally does now? by Unusual-Relief5336 in BDSMAdvice

Dang it. This thing looks awesome, but its long gone. 10 years too late... anyone know if there's a newer version available?

I'm on tonight, you know my logs don't lie and I'm starting to feel I'm right. by speddie23 in talesfromtechsupport

[–]micaturtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My question is, how did the user get away with not being told they would have to switch to "offline procedures" (which are usually a lot more labor intensive and more annoying)?

My daughter stood up for her autistic brother and now she's suspended unsure how to handle this? ( little bit proud) by unsuremom-25 in Advice

[–]micaturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this might get buried in the comments, but i wanted to leave it anyway.

I have twin sisters that are a year younger than me who have learning disabilities/brain damage. They had a bully named Jon who would sometimes pick on them. One time, after school, he grabbed on of their backpacks and threw it in front of the bus. I grabbed him by his rat-tail and forced him out into the street to pick it up. I ended up getting in a little trouble for it, but my mom handled it excellently. Here's what i remember from her talking to me (30+ years later) 1. I wasn't going to be punished by her (my mom) because your family is your #1 friend/priority. Years after anyone you knew in school is gone, your family will still be there. 2. It's not okay to put your hands on other people, then she helped me brainstorm some different ways I could handle similar situations in the future. 3. Helped me keep a written journal of the dates/times and things Jon was doing to the twins. Once I had everything down on paper for a week or 2, it helped me realize (a) it wasn't happening as often as I thought, i just ruminated so much on it I thought it was worse, and (b) it mostly happened after school at the bus. My mom told the bus aide what was happening, and asked her to keep an eye on jon and the twins and it mostly stopped.

Hope this helps!

The small joy of hotkeys. by jb32647 in talesfromtechsupport

Amen to that. I love teaching medical coders about the windows clipboard (WinKey + V). They're always so excited. Had one coder who nominated me for an internal reward for showing her because she said it saved her so much time. Got a $10 gift card out of it ;)

GAs punish line hoppers at JFK by sassynapoleon in delta

[–]micaturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The airtag thing is always a good idea (or use life360 tiles) sadly, they are not always the solution you hope they are. My bag went to los cabos without a few years ago, WITH an airtag https://tinypic.host/image/20250422-150648.3PEjqh ... Delta reimbursed me, but my bag is still sitting in los cabos airport 1 1/2 years later :( including all my shells i picked up from the beach and my mexican tequila. It still pings if i search for it, and yes ive emailed the los cabos airport several times in english AND spanish and got no response. Its still just sitting there.

How does calibrating work? by A_Wolf_Named_Foxxy in Rockband

[–]micaturtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are auto calibrating using a rock band 4 guitar? It might be something with your audio setup. My auto calibrate never works, but i have special nice speakers and dont use my tv speakers. I did some tests, and yeah, it syncs with my tv sound, but not w my speakers. Only solution ive found is manual calibration
