How to not get kernels stuck in throat?

Every. Single. Time. I eat popcorn, even if it’s just a single handful, I get kernels in my throat. At least one. I chew so thoroughly it ruins the experience of actually eating it. And it still doesn’t work. I stil there and chew until it’s mush. Yet. It’s. Still. Getting. Stuck. And I can’t get it out with drinks or food, I have to suffer for a solid ~12-24hrs coughing nonstop until it works itself out. Anyone have a tip? Is my body just stupid and hating me?

Sincerely, popcorn stuck in throat

Old iPhone 13 won’t connect to WiFi

So the phone has no service, even when it did I couldn’t use it. Verizon made me upgrade my phone (okay they didn’t MAKE me but he promised the bill would be $40 cheaper and I said no 4 times before giving in. My bill was $20 more expensive, the liar. Not the point just a quick rant).

Anyway, would the Apple Store be able to fix it? I doubt Verizon will since that phone is no longer in their service. I’m assuming it’s the SIM card that’s messed up, but if I don’t have service would I even be able to get a new one? I’m v confused and frustrated I need to connect that phone to my computer as a camera for my side gig, it’s a whole thing. I just need to connect it to WiFi to do it.

The error says No Internet Connection but it’s connected to the WiFi. The WiFi works on every other device I own. If yall could point me on where to go to fix this lmk.

Why are we mad at people moving here and not the city and state officials who aren’t accommodating infrastructure yet encouraging people to move here? We’ve had these growth predictions for years we knew this would happen

It’s always “don’t move here, we’re full” when really it’s not on the people who are being fed Greenville as a top place to move. Greenville has pushed and pushed to be one of these cities that are appealing for moving to. They made every list. They’ve been begging for growth. So be mad to the govt and city officials who aren’t funding the needed infrastructure to accommodate the people yet pushing for growth.

And let’s be real, this city isn’t that much worse than other mid sized cities, yall just don’t want to see us turning into one. Aside from woodruff rd and 85, outside of 4-5:30pm traffic isn’t that horrible. Yall just want empty small town traffic. We’ve been on track to be a real city for a looong time and yall just haven’t been paying attention.

Any clue why they won’t approve me for the Crimson Card?

I applied almost a year ago and was immediately denied. They told me they can’t tell me why. And I’ve tried multiple times since. I’m across town with -115 in my account and only $90 I can cash out and just enough gas to get me home. It’s so frustrating because I HAVE money but if I cash it out I don’t actually receive it. And I can’t keep dashing without gas money to make the money to cover my account. It’s peak time. I’m so frustrated all I want is this damn card

DoorDash Vs Uber Eats/ others?

What app is best for delivery in this area for making money, esp in the Haywood rd area? I’ve been using DoorDash to make money on the side and can average out about $30-40 an hour on a good day but I’m curious if I can make more with any of the others? I just don’t want to have to do my taxes for 5 different companies, ya know? And if any have a preferred name option, that’s a huge bonus for me. I can’t use my legal name really

I almost had to call the cops on this customer - read below

Yes I was kind of an *ss in that one message but I really needed to keep moving, it was rent day and l spent almost an hour of the lunch rush on his order. It should’ve been 15 mins. The “can’t reach customer” button literally did nothing on my app except take me to the home screen in a loop. Called him 5x support was slow af.

The pin was set to building C but it was a church. The other two were sets of business suites in massive buildings.

So 18 minutes after I sent the first message, he calls me and in the most high-and-mighty, condescending tone I’ve ever heard he goes “you know, if you learned to read and follow instructions, you’d know it was B”.

I tried to be nice and essentially said “I’m sorry but it doesn’t say anywhere on my screen you may have forgotten it” and he started to scream at me. Things like “well I f-ing entered it” “blame your f-ing company don’t b-ch and moan at me” and I sent him a screenshot of the app. I had to drive across this massive parking lot so he was demanding “okay so where are you where’s my f-ing food”.

Eventually I told him “I’ll be right there” and hung up. I was done listing to him scream at me.

When I got to the suite it was for a business and I knocked. He took 3 minutes to get to the door I’m assuming out of spite. I had to call him again and he again screamed “I’m coming for f-s sake” and I heard him thru the door so I knew I was at the right place. I think f- is his favorite word.

When I opened the door he snatched the food and practically threw it I’m assuming onto a table. But then he backs me up into a wall and shoves his phone in my face saying “see I typed suite b” and it was a screenshot of some random website that wasn’t DoorDash. He was yelling inches from my face and spitting while doing so something along the lines of “don’t come complaining to me when it’s your fault you can’t f-ing read.” At that point I was mad and arguing back but he had about 8 inches and 100lbs on me.

I told him that it was his fault because if he’s expecting a delivery he should be watching his phone, but I kept it semi civil and at that. But when I tried to leave he kept blocking me and he wouldn’t let me leave while he kept yelling until I threatened to call the cops. The parking lot was empty so I’m assuming nobody else was leasing offices there but I’m shocked nobody came out with all the noise. When he let me go I did yell a loud “what the actual f- is wrong with you” while looking back at him

Anyway, be careful yall. People are crazy

Edit: I did post and take down then repost this. I forgot to remove his name I’m not getting banned for that lolll

So much crunch. So so good. Found them at my dollar tree but I’ve never seen them before and I go weekly. I hope there’s some left when I get paid

Update: they’re removing gym access for up to a full year - lease photo

So I don’t seem to be able to reply to my last post with a photo. But the gym is being renovated. Having a nice 24/7 gym with 10 weight machines, lots of free weights, and an indoor basketball court is one of the main reasons I moved into this place.

I saw a couple comments mentioning if it’s in the lease is required. As far as the lease goes, this is the entirety of what is listed about the gym. Does this count? I’m just frustrated because rent is already so expensive there’s no way I can pay for even a discounted gym membership. They should have to offer it free, right?

I’m just deeply frustrated as the gym has become my biggest method of dealing with mental heath and addiction issues. Any advice is welcome and appreciated very much

u/Grumstrum — 13 days ago

Nobody else seems upset by this. We were told they are rebuilding it, but it’ll take 9-12 months. And in the meantime they are going to be trying to get us discounts at local gyms. But I shouldn’t have to pay anything at all when it’s included in my rent charge! And idk if they’ll use a 24 hr gym like they had which I need because I work 3rd shift.

I’m so frustrated. Is there anything I can do about this?

I’ve gone from contractless crime to all career lines that have to do with crime in the base game. The two criminal, the villain, and interstellar smuggler. But in the free time we visit houses and steal things. But the houses are all getting fairly empty of stealable items. I wish I could somehow reset the houses. But I’m NOT going and redecorating every house

Anyone else somehow managed to get to this point before?

I’m a lil too stoned to figure out which is correct. My loud ass washing machine is making it too difficult to think/differentiate the words correctly.

And just in case you need it, I really hope you have a better day than yesterday, no matter how your yesterday was. For real, man.

Just sell it directly from your inventory. Correct me if I’m wrong here, but from what I can tell it doesn’t increase fame at all. I really like having painter sims, especially in rags to riches, but the fame usually doesn’t go with the vibe of my save.

Phrased in a way to avoid spoilers.

But I have a hard time believing Uther doesn’t participate in magic, as the knights seem to spontaneously generate continuously. How many times have we seen an entire band of knights taken out with Merlin and Arthur as the sole survivors? At some point they have to run out of noble men who have any battle capabilities. And at this point, the job is legit suicide. I wanna know the mortality rate of the knights of Camelot. But maybe they ran thru all the good knights and that’s why they keep dying in battle…
