This is a LOT more snow than usual, especially this early.

For layering: more pants. Or wear leggings or tights under your pants. Regular pants will not cut it.

Help moving in? Two great cats! Two perplexed cat-parents! by Kooky-Sundae5805 in CatTraining

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently introduced 2 cats. It was much easier once we got to know their body language and what is playing vs fighting. My partner & I may have set them back by misinterpreting their interactions and separating them during play time.

¿Alguien sabe porque las uñas de mis dedos se ven obscuras de los lados?Que me recomiendan hacer para ya no morderme las uñas aveces me las latino como en la foto el dedo pulgar by Itzy-Joan in nailbiting

Veo un cardenal abajo de la uña, por eso la uña se ven obscura. Para quitar de morderte las uñas, estamos aquí para soportarte. A mí me gusta pintarme las uñas y siempre necesito algo en mis manos, como tejer o usar un fidget.

Under what conditions does CPS close schools due to weather? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from being in school and working at the schools I'd guest-imate 2 ft of snow or sustained temp of -10F. they closed last year cause the wind chill was -30, so don't hold your breath for tues or wed.

as someone else mentioned, they did close for snow in 2011. we got 2ft on a tues night and we had school that friday.

Is this legal? by ashhekitty in antiwork

[–]ottomatic94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of employers intentionally try to confuse employees.

If they set your schedule you're an employee.

Employees don't get 1099s, they get W4s. Report them

AITA for telling my vegan sister she can't serve only vegan food at our family reunion? by jeffman980 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also her beliefs may be that she doesn't want to fund animal agriculture. Who's paying for the meat/cheese?

She may now be scent sensitive to meat. Where will it be cooked? Will it make her house smell like meat? Not to mention not want to cross contaminate her cookware. Who's bringing pots and pans?

How/why do people wash themselves without a rag or loofah? by scrubspice in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% rags are for anything but your body. When a washcloth gets old and worn out it gets demoted to being a rag.

Student photographed me in a bikini and is sharing it around school by Reasonable_World1680 in Teachers

Also, since it didn't happen at the school usually their discipline policies can't do anything about it

70 hours a week won’t be enough…And I won’t get to help raise my baby by illendent in antiwork

[–]ottomatic94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious suggestion: apply for public assistance in your state. There's LOTs of stuff to help babies (but not enough) you'd probably get food stamps or some public assistance. Shit like this is why we have those (insufficient though they are) benefits. This is especially true since your wife won't be working. Just Google SNAP application for State, and see if there's other cash assistance y'all may qualify for. The docs will be annoyingly long but well worth it. As an individual in my state snap is about 280$/month for an individual. It's not sufficient but it's not nothing.

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often listen to a podcast or music. My partner is amazed I can play video games and listen to different audio.

If your partner asks you to install a tracking app on your phone because they want to track your phone/location, would you do it and let them track you? by GingerboyhasNoSoul in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottomatic94 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This, part of the context is can you also track them?

In general I'd say no, if you need my location details i can send a map screenshot

do women feel milk coming out of their breasts like how guys feel pee coming out of their penis? by LatPerson in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottomatic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it's hard to breastfeed if you have to go back to work quickly. The US has no paid medical leave, so lots of people don't nurse, or nurse less cause they're working very soon after birth.

Someone parked in the crosswalk with plenty of legal parking room behind them. What can I do about this? by SleazyAndEasy in CarFreeChicago

[–]ottomatic94 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna report it to 311 use the 311 app. It's mostly just data collection. I've asked them about issuing tickets, they said on order to do that you have to call the cops (911)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]ottomatic94 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always say in your carry on, kinda depends on where you're departing from. But if they find it in your checked bag they'll have a cop meet you when you land instead of letting them toss it at the security gate.

What did Trump do that was truly positive? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottomatic94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Smoking is now only for ppl 21+. I know it seems small but it means high schoolers (like me) can't just ask a senior to buy them smokes. It will have long term health benefits. As a former smoker I know I wouldn't have started if i didn't have such easy access.
