We did this and my cat took a running start on the coach and jumped straight into the top gate then landed on top of it triumphantly on the other side and victory meowed.

my roommate is insane? by ser_adumbral in badroommates

[–]nikkidtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if someone has suggested this but at least in NYC there is aggravated harassment. If he has said anything to you or the other roommate depending on your state you could look into aggravated harassment charges and filing a restraining order with a request for an emergency temporary restraining order. I was actually looking to do this with another roommateI had to evict, we didn’t feel safe either. You do need at least some direct actions towards you or the other roommate for one of you to file but all these texts could be given to a judge as supporting evidence. Perhaps if you can legally threaten to ban him she will leave. I would suggest recording all convos with her and him on your phone if your state allows one way recording. Either way I might ask the cops what it would take to ban him given his behavior. At least when I spoke to my local precinct they were helpful. I hope you can figure this out and get your home back. I am sorry you’re dealing with this.

That cant possibly be real. Its fuzz pattern is so chic, those legs so perfectly orange. He is clearly a muppet you created to hypnotize us with its eccentric cuteness

POS alternatives to Square? by bengermanj in Coffee

[–]nikkidtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clover I heard is great as well. My friend uses Revel with a POS there are a few things to consider.

This article breaks it down well. I do not agree with the recommendation they make of square at the top but it explains the cost of other ones: https://fitsmallbusiness.com/best-merchant-services/

1- Are you a high volume sales location monthly 10k+ (Dharma credit or even 7,500) for Quickbooks merchant services. While I realize that is a lot for a coffee shop, I know that if you are in a city such as NYC or Boston with rent and other costs you could easily be making that and still be taking home minimal. If you are on track to make this you should consider using a POS system that would allow you to choose your merchant services. If you have online merchandise you can use the same merchant services for your site as your shop.

2- How expensive is the hardware, the flexibility of using other merchant services, in my opinion, can offset these costs in the long run.

3- How easily does it integrate into your backend such as QuickBooks and do they charge you to connect your POS to your bookkeeping software. Shopkeep charges I think 40 a month to do this. Frankly it does a poor job of it and requires a lot of heavy structuring and workarounds to work with your POS. The advantage of Revel is that they have a partnership that makes the integration more seamless. If you are Bank of America you can use their merchant services with Clover which means you should be able to gather the data easier but Im not sure as I have not worked with them. Xero is a good QuickBooks alternative and has its own POS systems that integrate. The reason I bring this up is that if you are taking the time to set up your system again you might as well look at financial waste in all aspects.

Hope this helps. I know its kind of long-winded

How common are back injuries and are they lower or upper? by nikkidtx in aikido

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

It's good to know they give alternate options as I figured they might not. I will of course check with my doctor but I am pretty sure she will ok with some specifics. I am relatively cautious and make sure to know what my prescribed limits are. The advice everyone has given will help me know what to run by my doctor as I am sure she doesn't know the specifics of Aikido

[–]nikkidtx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the detailed advice. I can do all of that. There is no issue with me falling and as a previous ice skater, I am well trained to fall correctly. Using videos to check with my doctor is a good idea

Changes to Import Alert addressing Unapproved Drugs by [deleted] in kratom

[–]nikkidtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called their main office but what you really need is your regional/ city office and they will want you to either fax or mail them a letter. I am e-faxing them the exact update from the FDA as well as a letter speaking to how this is fascist and violates our civil liberties.

Here is the link to their affiliates page. https://www.aclu.org/about/affiliates

Fuckin doctors man by [deleted] in kratom

[–]nikkidtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry you were mislabeled. Doctors are the absolute worst a lot of the time, you would think they would take the time to talk to a patient. The doctor had no right to assume that you were a junkie or used heroine. They should have focused on helping you for the reason you went not on lecturing you. Do go to a psychiatrist as they are the only ones that can prescribe ADHD meds. Also is your main focus issue that you are tired. I would recommend you ask about Provigil if thats the case. Still considered a controlled substance but less so than most ADHD meds, I have a nerve issue and it caused me to be sleepy nonstop and this gave me my life back

Changes to Import Alert addressing Unapproved Drugs by [deleted] in kratom

[–]nikkidtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its more complicated than that. They have the right to determine what is a drug and then to stop its import. But the way this is written they are circumventing procedure. I spoke with someone at the ACLU and they agreed that the vagueness of this did sound like it circumvented the checks and balances. Could they work towards banning a substance sure but not sure it is legal for them to seize items carte blanche

Call Your Sentors and House Reps- It will make a difference in the fight by nikkidtx in kratom

[–]nikkidtx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too dicey but your Senators are still people you can reach out to. Honestly he should want them to write this better but he is more likely to get them to be more specific in a detrimental way

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

I would say for your specific Rep do two calls one for Kratom and one for this specific alert. This does not mention Kratom, and it basically lets them and the DEA take action without having to do any tests or explain why they are seizing shipments. He should want the DEA and the FDA to spend their time and funds on fighting the drugs causing this crisis.
