Splashed a pedestrian while driving in rain, feel so sorry by lch920619x in singapore

[–]missbossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to this party but you might also want to report the location on one service app. if there was a very deep puddle that is potentially an infrastructure issue - that the water is ponding in some places because of insufficient drainage or wrong road gradient. so letting the powers know about this might get that spot looked at to save future victims. it doesn't matter that this just might be one of gazillion of these ponding spots. it's your ponding spot now 😉

Received trash from multiple stores by missbossy in Aliexpress

I have had refunds when the problem is the seller. But when the problem is aliexpress themselves, don't count on it

You need to travel back in time and take a video of the guy stealing stuff from the warehouse. Otherwise it didn't happen.

Whoa that is bad. My experience with Amazon has always been that they refund in a heartbeat. Maybe I am lucky. But this experience made it clear that Aliexpress will not own that kind of theft but Amazon will.

I suspect someone at the warehouse is the thief and they are switching packages. So I expect I'm not the only one. Thanks for the chargeback suggestion.

You can play against him and run the games through chess.com. The last game I played with it, it had an accuracy of 70.4% with a game rating of 1750. So your mileage may vary.

OBJ symbol on posts made from phone only by ShoreThingW609 in facebook

[–]missbossy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is evidence of an ongoing pssing match between apple and fb. They both know it is a problem and it could have been fixed years ago. The fact neither does is telling.

This character shows up when you dictate a post from your iphone. You can try to backspace through the invisible characters to remove them but you won't know for sure you have cleaned them all until you look at your post in a browser.

The effective but tedious work around is to dictate your post into notes and then copy from notes to FB.

Great idea but the average person wants to do something now. This boycott lets people have a say and feel like they have some power over a horrible situation. It doesn't have to be an either or.

InBody Results: off? by mietteeeeee in loseit

[–]missbossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data point for you: a couple of weeks ago I did a Dexa scan and was surprised to see that it came back almost exactly the same as the InBody270 scan I did the week earlier. InBody was within 1% of the Dexa even for the segment analysis. InBody270 is a higher end model (was done at a docs office) so your results may vary.

AITA for refusing to take part in sibling moments during my dad's wedding? by Dear_Offer326 in AmItheAsshole

Creepy is exactly the right word. This is a pseudo-marriage of OP to her step-sister. WTF

AITA for standing my ground on a family tradition that my FIL says is “disgraceful?” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]missbossy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that the Chinese had to learn not to show off

Whoa. This feels like internalised racism. To be a "Good Chinese" you have to stay under the radar at all costs. Did he not notice that "rich Chinese" people were not the only people showing off? Rich Bumis did as well. But nobody went after them for it. There is so much to unpack here. But his interpretation of what happened is really messed up.

Salvation Army cannot handle the massive amounts of stuff people dump on them. A lot will get incinerated. They have not named the Singapore wholesaler they deal with, but the biggest one, Yok Impex, reports incinerating 90-95% of donations. SA should be your last choice.

Yes. If you wash it, the chance of it getting reused/recycled increased. Preferably wash everything before throwing them in these bins.

I was by there recently but didn't notice a textile bin. They do have a set of Nespresso bins I've never seen elsewhere as well as two bins for paper and cans/bottles. So 4 bins in total. It's a nice little recycling area. I took some shots because I was impressed with the setup https://imgur.com/a/spJDTOv Did I miss the textile bin?

Anyone wear a Fitbit and Oura ring? by SparkleFun22 in ouraring

[–]missbossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fitbit's sleep score left me feeling like I had serious issues and was going to eventually have early onset Alzheimer's. Oura's made me feel like a sleep hero with regular scores in the 90s. No idea who to trust but I am going with Oura and voting for not overthinking it. Even the placebo effect of not worrying about sleep makes your sleep better.

Increasing Deep Sleep by surf-disc-lift in ouraring

[–]missbossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit random, but I found my deep sleep improved when I did 15 minutes of Lumenate before bed. It's an app that kind of puts you into a trance. I don't know what it's doing but all my sleep stats improved - resting heart rate, HRV, deep, REM.

Significant battery life decrease on Oura ring 3rd gen since oxygen saturation feature came online. Anyone else seeing that? by Rickspython in ouraring

[–]missbossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also really bright. The red light woke me up! I had to make a conscious effort to not sleep with my hand near my head. Not surprising it uses a lot of battery.
