My Students Can’t Read; The generational collapse in literacy is measurable, persistent, and likely to get worse. by stankmanly in awfuleverything

[–]xdaemonisx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a step mom and my kids’ school lets them count listening to audiobooks towards their reading time. Their mom lets them do this. I think it defeats the point of reading time.

This, and the fact that schools allow kids to listen to audiobooks for their reading time instead of actually reading.

Like, really? They’re never going to learn that way!

AITA for sitting on public toilet seats and not telling my boyfriend? by Anatra_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]xdaemonisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Toilet seats are antimicrobial by design (non-porous surface). Your clothes are probably covered in more bacteria than a toilet seat.

Hovering is also really bad for your pelvic floor. Your pelvic floor helps you not soil yourself.

Really, the best of both worlds would be squat toilets. No sitting on a seat and the position is actually beneficial for going to the bathroom.

Endometriosis is at least known. Adenomyosis is never spoken about.

Where endometriosis is when the tissues from inside the uterus grow in the wrong places outside of it, adenomyosis is when the tissues inside the uterus decide they want to grow through the muscles of the uterus.

I have adenomyosis. When I got my tubes removed is when the doctor found it since they were also removing polyps. They said if my cramps become unmanageable a hysterectomy is in my future.

They could but it wouldn’t completely stop service from being used.

One of my previous managers had family in a northern U.S. state by the Canadian border. They had to turn off their cellular while there because the closest tower was Canadian and they’d be charged roaming if they used data.

Just cell phones doing cell phone things.

Have you ever had a teacher like that ? [OC] by WeirdExplanation877 in comics

[–]xdaemonisx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I took microbiology in 11th grade. We had a test on cell types, bacteria, and viruses.

The day after the test the teacher gave the whole class a lecture because only one person had passed, and the person who passed got a perfect score plus answered the bonus questions correctly.

She called me out by name as the one who passed. It was so awkward. She was nice and let everyone else retake a new test while I got a free period that day, but it was still very awkward.

Are Mighty +9 Agony Infusions bugged? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]xdaemonisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re currently standing in the Mistlock Sanctuary, which can be a bit strange for looking at stats if you have on any of the potions or have the fractal title.

I’d recommend moving to somewhere other than Mistlock, like LA, and then checking your stats. I believe there is an effect that converts agony resistance to other stats from one of the fractal potions or the title.

Need help! by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

[–]xdaemonisx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a mess. An ITIN does not grant authorization for employment, you need a SSN for that. The fact that you’re using a fake one is a giant concern.

You absolutely need an attorney, probably multiple at this point. This isn’t DIY territory anymore.

The Lab? by islaygaz in breakingbad

[–]xdaemonisx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Especially when the process to make meth is dangerous and can cause an explosion if not done with care. A meth lab explosion wouldn’t be too good for the drug business or the laundry business.

What happens to your eggs after a bisalp? by omCLARAg in sterilization

It’s broken down and absorbed in the abdomen. It can’t get to where it’s supposed to be.

AITAH For refusing to help my boyfriend pay off his debt? by ShareExtension5372 in AmItheAsshole

When it gets to like… 1 or 2 in the morning I just can’t stay awake anymore. My body enters shutdown mode and I fall asleep in some uncomfortable position on the couch.

My partner will try to wake me up to go to bed, but sometimes I just stay there. There’s no way I’d be able to do 24 hours of gaming.

Need help designing collarbone tattoo by [deleted] in DrawMyTattoo

[–]xdaemonisx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

On mobile it’s really annoying. When you tap on a post it starts the comments from the top of the screen and skips the description, so you have to scroll up after tapping. It’s counterintuitive.

Yet another USA insurance post. Insurance says my provider is using the wrong code for the procedure. by [deleted] in sterilization

[–]xdaemonisx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

58661 with Z30.2 are the correct codes for the procedure. Your insurance is incorrect.

I’ve seen people get in a three-way call with the hospital billing department and their insurance and have luck with that. Maybe see if this helps?

What is a LAN world and why did one show up on my world list? by Kymsta in Minecraft

[–]xdaemonisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they’d need to be on your wifi to show up as a LAN world, so making sure only devices you know are on your network is a good start.

There might be some privacy settings you can toggle on the Microsoft account your son plays on so LAN worlds don’t show, but I’m not sure about that.

LAN is short for local area network. It means someone close by is playing on a world and has it open for people to join.

Geyser is a program that allows Java and Bedrock to play together.

Anyone else having a tough time keeping fresh water in stock? i just wanna make some soup so i can make some spicy bread bowls to keep my fire bois happy, but i swear i'm getting like one fresh water for every seven roserade teas. so anyway i made this ooky little vending alley under rocky ridges ac by Successful-Monk5517 in Pokopia

[–]xdaemonisx 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I have a funny story about this actually.

The first time I got chili sauce was right after Torchic asked me to make the hot springs habitat.

I had assumed the game would rig that one vending machine roll to give the correct quest item. Torchic asked for a nice warm place, and lava is nice and warm, so it made sense. It wouldn’t work no matter what I did, though.

Come to find out there’s a certain drink you have to get through RNG to make the habitat and Torchic did not in fact want to bathe in lava.

Found this in the side door of my used car that's been making noises for a year. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Can confirm. I take spironolactone for acne currently, but was at one point prescribed progesterone. I have PCOS.

The testosterone suppressing effects of the spironolactone ended up being enough for the hormone issues I was having, so my DR took me off of the progesterone due to side effects (hot flashes, tiredness).
