I've been screened out of every video study I've tried to do recently. Its always at the video interview portion. I get through other parts of the study and then when it comes time to do the video interview with the AI it suddenly closes out my video and says I've been screened out before it even asks me anything. I've done lots of other video interviews before so I'm not sure why they are suddenly screening me out now.

My camera quality and lighting look fine to me and I am appropriately dressed 🤷 its quite frustrating to spent 5-10mins answering questions to get screened out and not paid the full amount.

If you're getting on at a small station, pay attention and check the itinerary ahead of time for how long your train stops at the station. There are many stations where the train only stops for a few minutes. You have to be on the platform and ready!

I'm on the Pere Marquette to Chicago and two ladies in Bangor missed the train because they waited in their car until they saw the train pull up. They were walking onto the platform as we started to pull away. We seriously only stopped for one or two minutes.

I have an upcoming trip in July where I am taking the Southwest Chief from KC to Chicago and then taking the Pere Marquette up to Michigan. What happens when the Southwest Chief is delayed enough to miss that connection? I know if you book it all together (like I have) that they guarantee you'll get where you're going somehow. I've made this trip once before and the Southwest Chief was late, but not so late that I missed the Pere Marquette. But as I've been checking the train maps, it seems like there are more and more times that the trains are late.

I'm just wondering what the likelihood of being bussed into Chicago to make the connection is versus just being bussed into my final Michigan destination after reaching Chicago. Or being put in a hotel and having to wait until the next evening to catch the Pere Marquette. I know it probably depends on the specifics of the delay and how long it is but I've spent a lot of money and booked a roomette as a treat. I'm worried about being pulled off the Southwest Chief and not getting the full experience that I'm paying for😬. Whereas I just booked a regular coach seat on the Pere Marquette and I honestly couldn't care less if they have to buss me into Michigan instead.

I'm autistic and trying to prepare myself for this trip as much as possible so thank you in advance to anyone who has imput. :)

I'm getting a new tattoo just above my elbow this month, and I also happen to be starting pottery lessons this month as well. On a scale of 1-10 how foolish of an idea was this? 😅

My classes are on Saturdays, and I'll be getting my tattoo after my first class, and then it will be one week healed at my second class. I will ask both my pottery teacher and my tattoo artist as well, but I assume I'll just need to cover it during the lesson? Probably with plastic wrap or something? At a week old I presume it will be ok wrapped for a 2hr class, and at that point I'll have taken the second skin off (if it stays, I haven't had luck on that part of my arm).
