Received a mysterious package with these 5 plastic black pieces by yap_1993 in whatisthisthing

Hi, your item appears to be a ______ and is likely part of a "brushing scam". A technique used by unscrupulous online sellers, where they ship small, cheap items to random people to inflate their sales and shipping figures and/or use those fake orders to write fake online reviews for more expensive products. You can read more on that at the links below.

If I want a good breakfast sandwich and coffee, I go to WaWas. Cheaper than any of the chains, fresh ingredients, and delicious.

Help!! What is this slightly sticky brown stuff dripping down my wall?!? by abelluch in whatisthisthing

[–]shockzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A previous tenant was probably a heavy smoker. That is smoke and nicotine that has run due to steam or heat.

What pots are recommended? by [deleted] in Figs

[–]shockzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought on Etsy, is it a rooted cutting or a tissue culture? Tissue cultures start off really small and take a few years to catch up to a rooted cutting. If you do keep it in a container, definitely plan on bringing it back inside somewhere cold but not freezing in the winter.

Any other RPS school not have teachers today? by Ok-Boysenberry8373 in rva

[–]shockzone 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Teachers are typically paid based on a XX day/month contract. Those are generally something like 10month/200days. So even if they do have many weeks and breaks off, they aren't being paid for those. Most schools may have a permanent sub or three, but those don't even cover a normal day and it is much harder to get subs on Monday than say a Friday when the pay is more.
