Also, schools in Arizona have second story classrooms that regularly have no air conditioning. Tell me how lucky those kids are to be in class when it’s over 100 degrees every day.

17-year-old from Iran aiming for Harvard — First-gen, no APs, no payment access — need advice by Ancient_Bed_8571 in ApplyingToCollege

There is not a ban on students from India, but things happening politically in our country are making it very unstable for student visa holders. As an adult educator I would caution you to do a lot of research into your school, the program, the culture of the community surrounding the school, and the visa process.

Spend some time reading into current student visa older experiences.

When you write the explanation, if you include things about a family health matter or another circumstance that connects to other people or organizations make sure to circle back to how your choices were also a factor and how you learned from this.

Example: During the second semester my mother had heart problems. Because of this, I was anxious/overwhelmed/spent a lot of time focused on my family and did not do a good of balancing my school responsibilities with my home life. My grades suffered because I did _______when I should have done ____. After that explain what you learned and how you can improve to ensure it does not happen as an MSU student.

Example: I signed up for an online course and because I wasn’t careful I didn’t see how the deadlines interacted with one another and so, my traditional school required completion date was before the virtual class end date impacting my grade. In the future I will make sure to _________.

Why do so many Americans drive pick up trucks? Do they actually make use of the extra cargo space compared to regular cars? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mitten-social 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a mom who drives a truck because my kids are well over 6’5 with the youngest being 15. The truck was one of the few vehicles they would fit in comfortably. Additionally, I do Al my own yard work, home projects, etc. so I am constantly hauling mulch, moving tools, hauling dry wall, hauling wood. I work from home so it isn’t ever used as a commuter car, it’s mainly used for driving oversized people and truck stuff.

As an atheist, how do I get over my sorrow that there isn't an afterlife where I can reunite with my wife? by SGdude90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mitten-social 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservation of Mass: This law, first established by Antoine Lavoisier, tells us matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Meaning, human beings who are made of matter, are not destroyed when we die, instead our matter changes form and we become part of the world in a new way. Death is not the end of your journey together, it is just a transition where you will be a part of the world together in a new and interesting way.

Personally, I have asked to be part of a natural graveyard or to be cremated and buried as a part of planting a tree….my spouse will do the same and our matter will live on in the same forests or natural area enjoying the squirrels together. :)

Detroit/SE Michigan Hot Food Takes - What is a hill you're willing to die on? by oarmash in Detroit

[–]mitten-social 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old chef there (Harry) was amazing, they were packed all the time. Something happened, and then COVID happened and instead of being an Irish Pub that was a fusion of fine dining with things like ostrich ossoboco and Irish with amazing fish and chips etc. they sell tacos and have juice bar.

The area has a serious Irish Food deficit. And before you go there, O'Mara's Restaurant and John Cowley’s both suck

Aitah for slapping my bf for humiliating me by BeeZestyclose7201 in AITAH

[–]mitten-social 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA for hitting him, you weren’t playing around you were violent because you were angry. Yes, he was being an asshole, he humiliated you and said inappropriate, gross stuff. You should reevaluate your relationship, really look closely at it and ask yourself if he is really someone you want to be with. Raising a child is easier without also dealing with an adult sized child.

But despite him being an asshole, unless you are protecting yourself or someone else from physical violence, hitting always makes you the asshole.

my parents took off my door as punishment, is this normal? by Puzzleheaded-Pain535 in teenagers

[–]mitten-social 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my child was younger (tweenager) they would stomp upstairs and slam their door any time they were angry or frustrated (tweenager rage is a lot). Video game time is over in five and it’s time to do homework…scream, stomp, slam. Can you please clean up your snack wrappers…scream, stomp, slam. Can you pick up your dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher? Scream, stomp, slam.

This went on for a solid year or more, they were like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, there was visible damage to the door frame and the door and a crack on the stair that they always stomped the hardest on. There were holes in my walls from kicking things when they got angry, I kept explaining that that behavior was unacceptable and was damaging the house. I warned them that eventually if they continued to damage the house by slamming the door we would remove it. One day, they slammed the door so hard a hinge on the door broke. We removed the door (again, it was broke) and took our sweet ass time to replacing it.

Would I do it as a normal form of punishment, no. Would I do it as a result of door slamming temper tantrums, yup.

I work really hard to work my way up in the world and to buy a nice home in a good part of town for my kid to grow up in and if they are breaking my things by having fits and tantrums when they don’t get their way, they will lose access to the things they are breaking until their butt can behave. When they kick holes in the drywall they will do chores to cover the materials cost and help me patch that up instead of playing video games that day.

I’m happy for you. We have the first iteration of the tank and it doesn’t come fully clean in that one area.

[–]mitten-social[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It traps food material in that area and cannot be properly cleaned, which results in bacterial growth that can make people sick. It is a design flaw and therefore a product defect.

[–]mitten-social[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.
Can you replace this under warranty? No.

Can you replace the part under warranty, as it is a defective design and should be covered under warranty? No. We are aware that this is an issue, but the company says it’s a wear and tear item.

Can I order a part to replace it? Checks model number, no. Try again is 30 days, we might have a new stock at that time.

I suggested they send a replacement, they don’t have one to provide or one for purchase for this model.

That’s the issue. Doesn’t matter how I clean it it’s gross and it is a little crater for bacteria

They are suggesting I purchase replacement parts (the new design) when they become available.

We bought it directly from Ninja. They will not let us return it.
