Hi everyone! I’m looking to get into jewelry design and I’d like to start by sourcing authentic gemstones here in Manila.

Does anyone know where I can buy supplies? I’m also hoping for recommendations for custom jewelry makers, basically I’ll handle the design, and they’ll do the actual crafting/production.

Thank you!

Need an outside opinion because I can't tell if I'm overthinking this.

This girl and I are distantly related (not by blood) and started becoming friends. At first she was very cold, always cancelling plans, making excuses like "just woke up.” Eventually, I stopped trying, and she stopped viewing my stories as well.

Months later, I posted a story of my cat wearing my designer bag. She replied, "wow co-(brand) girlie 😍." I just heart-reacted and didn't continue the conversation. Two days later, she messaged me again saying, "hey bag reveal 😍." After that, I entertained her and we started talking regularly.

She would suddenly ask about my bags whenever she saw me using them, where I bought them, why my charm was different from other bags, etc. The questions would randomly pop up.

We also bonded over perfumes and makeup. She used to tell me she only bought tester/fake perfumes and didn't see herself buying authentic ones. But after I posted my perfume (decant) collection and got complimented once for smelling good, she started buying authentic perfumes too and even suggested a perfume sniff session.

With makeup, she would often disagree with my favorite products, but later she told me she had bought a full bottle of a setting spray I always raved about. I only found out because she offered to give me her half-used bottle, saying it made her face itchy. Later, I learned that she had already bought another setting spray to replace it because we were planning to make a small content video together. The concept was to show matching makeup products from different brands, and she knew I would be using that setting spray brand.

The thing that threw me off was that after months of us sharing products, purchases, and wish lists, she posted a story saying she feels like people copy her whenever she shares things she likes.

I felt like it was directed at me because I'm the only person she talks to about these things, which she had mentioned before. We had even been talking about a makeup brand we both wanted to buy the day before she posted that story. After that, I decided to cut her off.

As someone who had genuinely been good to her, I wanted to know if I was the person she was referring to in her story. To confirm my suspicion, I posted a story about someone being two-faced. I was curious whether she would react because of the saying, “People who have done you wrong will always think your posts are about them.” It’s worth noting that this wasn’t the first time I had posted something shady online, I had done the same months earlier when posting about my toxic aunt.

About an hour later, she posted a story saying that she had been a good friend and that she “owed nobody anything,” followed by the remark, “You can choke.” That was when I became convinced that her original story was indeed about me.

Does this sound like normal friend behavior, or would you also feel uncomfortable?

I appreciate all of you, even the negative comments. Just to give context, I had been trying to befriend her for years because she is my future sister-in-law, our husbands (now my husband) are brothers.
We eventually became close because we liked the same things, even desserts. Whenever I bought dessert for myself, I would also buy her one and drop it off at her door just to give it to her.

Maybe I was wrong in reacting so strongly. My reaction maybe came from a place of hurt?? 😅when I saw her story, especially considering how I had treated her kindly despite her being distant for years. I was genuinely happy when we finally became friends because I felt it was important, given that we would become sisters-in-law, and we would see each other at every occasion.

My reaction was also influenced by a few things:
She used to send me things she liked immediately, and she even told me before that she does that with me, so I felt the post might have been directed at me.
A day before she posted that story, she had been sending me makeup she wanted to buy and even asked if I wanted to order anything from the same shop she was buying from. I checked it and found it to be good quality and affordable, so I told her I would buy the same makeup to give to my bridesmaids, since I was getting married at the time.

We would talk for hours, sometimes up to 15 hours a day, just sharing links to things we liked, giving suggestions, and bonding over similar interests.

I have this guest who booked 2 months in advance, upon their arrival the guest is quite dissatisfied with the location, note that the location was indicated in the listing. Then after few hours he raised several concerns, he sent pictures of the bottom of bathroom cabinet, complaining about the dirt, which is very unusual for guest to check (note that this is not really visible given the structure of our cabinet), also complaining about the misaligned toilet seat. These issues were minor in nature and were fixable but during his complain he then told us he was gonna transfer then initially requested a partial refund, which I was open to considering in good faith despite my limited refund policy. However, the situation escalated later to a request for a full refund, and the guest ultimately chose to leave the property mid-stay.
From my perspective:
The issues raised were fixable
The unit was fully cleaned and prepared prior to check-in
The listing details, including location, were clearly disclosed before booking
The booking was made 2 months prior
I was also informed by Airbnb support during the process that the guest’s stated reason may not qualify for a refund under policy
Despite this, the reservation was later processed as an admin cancellation, and I am now facing a payout deduction.
I’m trying to understand what the correct process is to contest or appeal this type of decision.
Has anyone successfully appealed a similar situation? What kind of evidence, wording, or escalation steps actually work when dealing with Airbnb Support or Trust & Safety?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to rank products in a matrix but running into an issue with the ranking logic.

Current setup:
Rows: Product Name
Columns: Week (filtered to the latest 4 weeks using a filter visual)
Values: Sales
So the table looks like:
Product A | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4
Product B | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4
…etc.

What I want:
A ranking per product (in the rows)
Ranking should be based on total sales across the 4 selected weeks (overall total)
Not ranking per individual week column

Problem:
When I try using RANKX, it seems to rank products per week column, instead of using the total across all 4 weeks.

Question:
How can I write a DAX measure that ranks products based on the sum of sales within the current filter context (the 4 selected weeks), while ignoring the column-level week breakdown? Also, is it possible to put the ranking under Rows. Beside the product name?
Any help or sample DAX would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
