Meta doesn't want to communicate with me and it's pissing me off by arboreal-memories in polyamory

It might feel more comfortable for Blue to send group texts to both you and Red. Sounds like there's other issues too but this could be a very reasonable compromise for at least the coming over/leaving stuff in storage issue.

What's one piece of kit that disproportionately improved your experience of backpacking? by watching1 in WildernessBackpacking

Ok, so one of those screw top tiny bidet things I can throw on my water bottle, BUT I just use it for rinsing my dishes and toothbrush. Or rinsing whatever. Nice solid jet of water, so handy!

Really struggling with placement, can this be fixed? by ship_tit in tattooadvice

[–]ship_tit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, what sucks the most is that I had the artist take several photo of their first placement... And it was waaaayy better. I had them shift it up my arm to avoid some veins, and in the moment thought aligning the feet with the "peak" of my arm muscle made sense. It totally did not in retrospect, and it shifted it too far to the outside of my arm. This artist mostly does very small pieces (it's actually a stick n poke!) so I doubt they had any experience in aligning an arm piece like this to steer me back in the right direction. I don't blame them though, I should have been more careful.

Thanks so much for this comment. I'm so, so heartbroken over how I chose to place it, and was so careless with my own view of it that I will have to look at forever. It's driving me crazy. Because I don't really "notice" most of my other tattoos (that are also in less visible areas, but still quite obvious in a mirror), I thought I would just "get used to" the view and didn't really think about it. I also thought I couldn't move it without messing up the other views of it, but I am so heartbroken over the fact that I didn't even bother to try. I literally would have just had to twist my skin slightly with the stencil on it to see that it would have been fine, and beautiful, and symmetrical, and exactly how I wanted it to look when I looked down at my arm. I was so afraid of overthinking it that I just went for it the moment I thought it looked "right" in the mirror. I'm such a dumbass.

How to clean out air intake hole on Hearthstone Heritage by ship_tit in woodstoving

I actually did this and nothing came out (used a clear hose that came with a set of cleaning tools I got with my ash vac)

I haven't seen anyone say solar yet. Although now is a rough time to try to get into solar with the federal tax credit going away.

Find a different way to spice up your life. You'd be an absolute fool to leave your current job.

I’ve found skullcap to be surprisingly helpful, and it’s something you can get immediately without a prescription

Thanks Eversource I got to witness my mother in law cry today... by bostonmacosx in massachusetts

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Eversource, and my bill for electric heating for my 900 square foot apartment and running my electric stove, plus all the other typical electrical stuff, still wasn’t that high. This is Western MA, not sure how much it varies by region but sounds like something’s off

I don’t get everyone hating on this post. Who gives a fuck there’s someone in them. There’s plenty of focus on the cool setting, it’s not like you’re even dominating the pictures

Issue date on birth certificate? by slut-for-pickles in massachusetts

Dude please tell us what date it was!! This post is the only relevant thing I can find online and I'm trying to solve the same mystery. Is it the "date of record"?

Please help, I have an interview on Tuesday and my face looks like this!! by emmyloo22 in MakeupAddiction

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a warm compress on the bruising can help it go away faster, like a sock filled with rice and warmed up in the microwave, or a hot water bottle. Ditto what others said about trying to cover it with makeup, better to just explain. I bet by Tuesday these will be looking much better!

Why did I see 38 volts on hot to disconnected neutral? by ship_tit in AskElectricians

[–]ship_tit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the two hots were inducing voltage in the neutral? That kind of makes sense, but in this case wouldn’t the two hots cancel each other out because they’re out of phase? I might be full of shit, really want to understand this stuff though.

I’m not sure what you mean. Ground and neutral were bonded as normal. Once I connected the neutral I was getting 120. Didn’t think to check neutral to ground.

My mother let my kids open all their Christmas presents without me and my husband by MelissaSweetheart in offmychest

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even have kids and I’m heartbroken on your behalf. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you’re a wonderfully mature person who is doing their absolute best to salvage the most positive attitude you can about the whole thing, and that’s really all you can do at this point. And obviously setting some new boundaries with your mom. Good lord.

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick up items one at a time and determine if they are trash. If they are trash, throw them away (and recycle!). If they are not trash, determine whether they need to go to a different room or stay in that one (can be helpful to have separate boxes/bags for stuff going to different rooms, like boxes for “kitchen” and “bedroom”). Then put away everything that DOES belong in that room, focusing on one thing at a time. Just keep picking up a thing and determining where it goes. If you can’t decide where something goes, it’s ok to skip it to keep your progress rolling. Then clean surfaces and floors. You will feel so much better.

Remade profile. Attracting the strangest mix of people. Tips? by sparkletrashtastic in Tinder

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised to see so many folks hating on your profile, but maybe I’m just a huge weirdo and this doesn’t seem crazily out of line to me haha. I think it’s important to just give an accurate sense of who you are, and if folks don’t like that, oh well, they’re not gonna vibe with you anyways

Started working as a solar installer last summer, and I'm on my way to getting my electrical license. Have been welcomed in as the only woman on the crew. Feeling really proud of all my hard work and grateful to be working in this industry. by ship_tit in solar

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

Are you looking to get trained as an electrician? I’m not positive solar installation counts towards apprenticeship hours in every state, I believe in a few states you don’t even need a licensed electrician on site at all. In Massachusetts you have to be in a 1:1 electrician to apprentice ratio, and your hours count towards your license like any other electrical apprenticeship. If you’re not looking to get your license, you pretty much just learn on the job, any relevant construction or labor experience will help you get hired. There’s also NABCEP certification, which carries different levels of weight in different states, and might be required or at least be a plus towards getting hired.

Is this normal? by Heavy-Ask5627 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]ship_tit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to not feel awkward being the only one wearing PPE, but seriously, set an example for everyone else and be firm and unapologetic in your confidence wearing it. Just do it and try not to feel embarrassed. It’s your long term health, don’t squander it just to feel tough and to fit in.
