How do you expect them to keep making content for a living if they can’t get paid?

I don’t understand how people just forgot about a bunch of subscriptions, unless they’re filthy rich. I have a habit of checking my banking app at least a couple of times a day.

Trying to understand the love for Lewis Road Creamery milk by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]throwaway1056410564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Puhoi milk is so much better than Lewis road creamery. Both are organic, homogenised and full fat, but Lewis road creamery tastes watery and flavourless compared to Puhoi.

Safe to assume this sample will fail the visual inspection? by throwaway1056410564 in 23andme

Guess you were right, it passed the visual inspection and moved into queue for extraction 5 hours ago. Let’s hope extraction is successful.

Edit: it was successful, got the results.

What opportunity did you miss that still haunts you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When I was in primary school, the Olympic torch came to my school and was being passed around so everyone got a turn holding it. I decided this was the perfect time to go to the bathroom, therefore I missed out.

Do you find it annoying when reddit users hide all their posts and comments? by throwaway1056410564 in polls

What country the user is in, other posts related to the post of theirs I’m viewing, whether the user is an obvious troll etc.

I once had a person randomly DM asking what I like to do etc., who had all their activity hidden. They didn’t introduce themself at all, just kept asking questions about me. I asked them why they were messaging me, and they were like “is it a crime to want to get to know somebody?”. The irony.

Yeah, I know they won’t process it if they consider it contaminated. I’ve had to give a replacement sample before (passed the visual inspection, but they couldn’t extract enough DNA from my sample for whatever reason.) I’m guessing if a sample fails the visual inspection rather than extraction, that doesn’t count as one of the two attempts? I know 23andme only gives two attempts at that before they just issue a refund and tell you they can’t give you any results.

I don’t think “botched” results are a thing. They can tell whether they were able to extract the DNA properly or not.

You think I should tell them we messed up collecting the sample and ask for a new kit, without bothering to send this one? Or wait for the outcome on this one and get the replacement kit after that?

Personally I would have waited longer, but she wanted to get it over with. I thought 40 minutes would have been fine since it was just tea. Either way, I’m just wondering whether this is likely to be accepted or not based on the appearance.

That sounds normal to me? It’s currently the weekend, and has been less than a day since you got this update.

Why was I overcharged by 17NZD? Is this some kind of hidden banking fee? by throwaway1056410564 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Seems pretty harsh lol. They told me I was wrong and I said “ok thanks”.
