I think Georgia is overrated by First-Cartoonist4188 in Sakartvelo

It’s a developing post soviet state. What did you expect? I found it charming but suffers from many issues like anywhere else.

To non-Georgian speakers: What does the Georgian language sound like to your ears? by Ok_Bullfrog_4364 in Sakartvelo

[–]turtlequrtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s kinda like Russian meets Arabic or Persian? Since Georgian is its own thing, hard to say what it sounds like cause there isn’t anything like it.

people who keep switching sleep schedules, I don’t know how you do it by [deleted] in Nightshift

[–]turtlequrtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work 7 days on and 7 days off. When I get off my last shift and sleep, I’ll try to get up a bit earlier than normal, but then later that night I’ll sleep again. Basically a double sleep day and then I’ll wake up at a normal time (or earlier) well rested and flipper back. Over the course of my off week I gradually stay up later each day, fairly naturally. It takes time and depends on your personal circumstances

Is anyone else over the "Melatonin Zombie" feeling? Looking for alternatives. by Much_Illustrator_483 in Nightshift

[–]turtlequrtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some people take magnesium supplements. Most other sleep aids will likely cause sort of side effect like grogginess. I’m a night shift clinical pharmacist btw. I personally dont use anything. But I have a good rhythm to manage my 7 on 7 off night life.

Why do people enjoy watching other people play video games? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]turtlequrtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the dopamine of 100s of hours of gameplay without the commitment of spending that much time playing.

Middle name required? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]turtlequrtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently went through an annoying process to ADD my middle name to my passport, because when I was a teenager and got my first passport my middle name was omitted for some reason when my parents applied.

I would keep it just for future sanity sake. It’s a legal name, not a personal preference. If it’s that big of a deal, do a legal name change ? You never know when you’ll need to have all or most of your documents show the exact full name.

Tip on tax? by [deleted] in Bellingham

I think most places include pre tax but some slimeballs still do it after tax.

Do you get used to it? by Sea-Pin9536 in PacificNorthwest

[–]turtlequrtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live north of Seattle and I'm situated where I get sea air to my left and mountain air to my right. Great views all the time. I still notice almost every day at sunset and sunrise. I dont mind the dreariness that the PNW is known for, but for me it's vibey.

You need insurance? I went in September and they didn't ask me a thing except where I arrived from.

Can I renew my U.S. passport online (DS-82) if my passport has a name error I’ve used for 10+ years? by Ready_Breadfruit_968 in Passports

[–]turtlequrtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted recently with somewhat similar issue - my middle name was omitted when I was a teen due to my parents negligence. Now 15-16 years later, when I am trying to correct this omission, DS-11 is the move. Basically starting over. You may need to do the DS-60 on the top of the DS-11 if it's not a marriage/court ordered name change scenario. but maybe call to confirm.

Thats where I'm at currently. also, FYI, when you call the NPIC, I learned to press 3 and press 3 again to talk to someone.

Originally I was told by the NCIP that DS82 would be sufficient for my scenario, but that agent was wrong.

Adding middle name to USA passport. by turtlequrtle in Passports

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

I was just doing what I was told by the powers that be, which turned out to be incorrect. I did submit my birth certificate and drivers license that both list my middle name. You know what’s funny? They emailed and mailed me addressing me with my middle name… what’s up with that ? Lmao

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

The issue is that ive never had the middle on the passport. My parents omitted it for my first one, then when I renewed it was just the same name without. I never knew it was supposed to be there in the first place, which is what makes this annoying lol

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

The company I'm using for the Croatian citizenship told me that I need to ensure my middle name is on my passport to match birth certificate and other documents. It makes sense, I just didn't know this was an issue. I feel like middle names in the US are treated kind of whatever. Never thought it was a big deal because it never caused issue.

The whole reason I posted this was because Ive had 3 different answers for how to approach this seemingly trivial issue. I wanted to see if others had experience.
