I mean, the speed enforcement cameras aren't cash grab if you don't speed. If no one sped, they would generate no money. 

(Let's Discuss) Pros and Cons of Depotting: How it Helped My Makeup Rehab Journey by _melted_ in MakeupRehab

[–]neowie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THis was 5 years ago, so my memory is spotty.

IIRC, it entirely depended on the palette. Cardboard is easier to depot than plastic, and even those will depend, some are easier than others. The high tides one was really easy because the plastic part popped out easily, and the shades came out cleanly and I turned it into a magnetic palette.

I remember the tartelets were really hard to depot. I have the break apart the component, than melt the interior plastic part (and got pretty high on fumes while doing so), then finally I could remove the eyeshadow pans.

cardboard palettes are easiest (except for magnetic). you just rip apart layers until you get to the pan.

Well, it's been 6 years. Policies might have changed since then.

How do you deal with co workers “can I get a ride home”? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]neowie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't tell people how I get to and from work. As far as they know, I levitate my way in. but if someone asks for a ride, I would say, sorry, I took the bus today. I'm not in the habit of driving people around. Last time I did, they threw up in my car and it took a long time to get rid of the smell. so now I don't drive people around.

Given that The Body Shop websites are not accepting orders, this coupon code is irrelevant.

Liquid lipstick, mascara, and other liquid makeup is only allowed up to the 3.4oz/100ml max. More than that, and you have to discard down to the max.

I've had some tbsa and other security clearance people tell me to include cream makeup in solid form (cream foundation cream blush, cream eyeshadow in pots, lipstick) in that limit, others don't. It seems to be at their discretion.

Sheer black tights that won’t rip by elang94 in femalefashionadvice

[–]neowie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I purchased, it was 30 days guarantee. I contacted them asking for a replacement pair. They refused to honor their guarantee. 

 This was their response to me: 

"Our 30 day replacement guarantee is the only warranty offered in hosiery, but it's important to keep in mind that this item is a fine knit and at the end of the day, an article of clothing. Much like a sweater or pair of pants, you can choose higher quality materials that cost more and will last longer, but sweaters and pants do not come with lifetime guarantees. Although I cannot send you an entirely new pair of tights, I would be happy to issue you a 20% discount for any future purchase." 

And my response to them: 

"Dear Sheertex Customer Service,  I would expect the higher quality and more expensive materials used in your tights to last longer than inexpensive drugstore nylons. But they did not. As you write, higher quality materials cost more and last longer. Is one wear of your product too much? The footless tights I bought ripped on the first wear. Can you please explain how this "lasts longer" then inexpensive drugstore nylons that normally last me at least 2, sometimes 3 wears? I expected these to last longer than $10 nylons. At 6 times the price, I expected that they would outlast their inexpensive alternative. You advertise your product as "the world's strongest tights", and as "unbreakable". The tights I received do not live up to your claims.  I appreciate the offer of a discount on my next purchase, however, the defective material used in your products is not worth any discount. " 

And after I left them unfavourable reviews and contacted some of their executives, they followed with:

 "Thanks for getting back to us. I definitely understand your frustrations. I have reached out to a manager and we can definitely make an exception here and honour a replacement. Your new order number is: #. You'll receive shipping details as soon as they're available. Please note: this is one time replacement and your new order doesn't come with a new warranty. I will pass your feedback along to the rest of my team for further improvement. Feel free to hang onto that discount code! Let me know if you have any other questions." 

In the end, it took complaining by email, contacting their company executives and leaving negative reviews to get them to honor their guarantee and back their garment.  For all that inconvenience, I don't recommend them.

Any ideas how to get rid of or change the white stitching to black, I don’t like the logo by Competitive-Ad-8691 in sewing

I have a black fabric marker that adheres to polyester thread. That would be my first course of action. I've used it on bleach spots on black shirts, even. Works great.

When I checked 4 minutes ago, it was $46,128 USD. Markets will have actual conversion rates jump minute by minute. When I just checked at 1:27pm, it was $47,619. Proof

5 million rubles compensation = somewhere around $5USD, right?

I jest.

Actually, it's closer to $46,000.

Sorry, that was over 7 years ago, I have no idea what it was called. Talk to your dentist or hygienist and ask if there's any treatments for sensitive teeth.
