Owala, Simple Modern, or Takeya

Hey guys!!

I’m looking for input on a new water bottle.

I’m not great at drinking water, but i am a lot better if the bottle has a straw!! I currently use a Takeya 40oz waterbottle that my family has had for years cuz we used to take it hiking and such. It’s good!! But the open mouth and having to tilt up a 40oz water bottle every time i want water seems to just. make me not drink any.

out of the three i listed, which would y’all recommend??

My thoughts:

Owala: i really hate following trends with water bottles / items, but i’ve seen SO many good reviews. How is the straw? does the spout part get in the way?

Simple Modern: I used one recently (borrowed) and found it to be nice!!! Easy handle, nice straw, good size (could be a bit bigger though).

Takeya: I already own one, keeps water cold for 1-2 days, durable. Haven’t tried the straw versions of the brand

I’m leaning towards an Owala, but i did want to ask your guys’ thoughts :)

Thanks in advance!!

Long lasting blue-black hair dye

Hey guys!!

I’ve been dying my hair for a LONG time! And more recently (like just under a year i’d say) i’ve gone fully black, as i had a peekaboo black/blonde split for about a year before i dyed it all black. The blonde was killing my hair so i decided to stop bleaching it!!

I’ve been having troubles with the dye fading into a dark brown, which i truly dislike. My natural hair is brown, and i do understand that the base colour of black is typically brown, but it’s driving me crazy.

I’ve been using L’Oreal excellence hicolour blue-black. (i’m forgetting the exact name, haha. i think it’s Sapphire?)

I love the blue undertone and how it looks in the sun, and i love how it feels like it comes out as a jet black in low light.

However it feels like the L’Oreal dye fades faster than i’d like, and it tends to fade into brown somehow.

Wondering if there’s any other long lasting blue-black hair dyes I could try!! Hoping to find something where the blue stays longer as well, but at minimum i just want it to fade into jet black 😭

Thanks in advance!!

Help!! Can’t understand notation on sheet music for an upcoming gig!!

Hey guys!!!

I am SO lost, and i'm wondering if anyone here can help me out!!

I'm playing my first gig with a friend from highschool and some others. They're producing an EP and need a small band for their release party, and they reached out to me asking for Keys. I'm a classically trained pianist with going on 15-16 years of piano experience, however i am FLOORED.

I will link photos of the sheet music i've been provided. I have absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to be playing...

I'll note that improvisation is where i struggle, and i'm a very "i need sheet music to play" type of person, unfortunately.

Their producers sent the music over yesterday, and i've been staring at it trying to piece it together. I've asked my dad who used to play keys in a band, and even he's not sure what i'm supposed to do.

I will reach out to the producers shortly, but i wanted to ask y'all as well :)

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Docs with body cam footage

Hey guys!!

I’m currently looking for more documentaries that include a decent amount of bodycam footage.

I really love the style, and after watching The perfect neighbour i’ve been searching for something similar ever since!!

I’ve seen quite a few docs, but the most recent i’ve seen that have included that style have been, as mentioned above, the perfect neighbour, american murder: the family next door, the murder of gabby patito.

Any recommendations would be AWESOME!! Thanks in advance!! :)

ETA: Ideally murder or investigation doc! and wanna add if it contains any gore or murder scenes that’s also completely fine, also completely fine if not! no preference

Still looking for pretty much anything

Hey guys!!

I’m a uni student and my job closed awhile ago and i’ve been out of work since, i’m not able to apply for EI benefits due to not having enough hours over the past year, and i’m pretty stuck.

I posted here awhile ago, and haven’t found anything due to that, so since it’s been a bit i wanna reach out to y’all again and see if anyone here knows of anything!!

I’m willing to do pretty much anything that pays, I previously held my job for 4 years and was only terminated because the shop closed, I have work experience in customer service, iris photography, trade-show sales (with my previous job), photo editing, scare acting.

I also have big background in music, theatre, etc.., and a background with leadership and 4-H.

I’m a very quick learner, and am more than happy to be trained for pretty much anything!!

With my lack of experience due to having 1 primary job and a second seasonal one that are both niche, i’m finding it super hard to find somewhere that’s willing to train someone for new positions.

Wanted to reach out to y’all again because i am pretty desperate, and my applications to places have been no-responses. Thanks in advance! xx

Alcohol and weight gain

Hey guys,

I have never really had issues with alcohol, but i started to drink more than normal over the past 2 months, and i gained quite a bit of weight. I have decreased my drinking now. Wondering how long it’ll take for the weight to slowly decrease? If any of y’all have gone through this!!

For reference i’m 20 F :)

Another question, i had a shot today to try this alcohol my dad wanted me to taste (roughly an oz) after not drinking for 3 days, will my metabolism be okay? or has that completely screwed me and re-set my weight loss process with this? feeling really anxious about that right now.

Low dmg

Hey guys!!

I’ve posted before asking for advice on doing more damage on Ahri, and i definitely integrated the tips and build advice i got!!

I do more dmg than i was doing previously, but my main question is.. do you guys feel as though Ahri is maybe just a lower-damage champ?

I only ask because in my games, the max dmg i’ve ever done was 65k, and normally i sit from 20k - 40k.

Even when i’m super fed and i had really good trades early game / killing my opponent in lane before fights, it still feels like the damage graph is low??

Curious about y’all’s opinions!!

One more thing though!! personally, i build BFT, and i’ve started taking DFT as my rune, and i feel like DFT does more damage than electrocute / aery. Not having the elect proc does suck, but i feel like the burn does so much for her early game, and it can secure kills a bit better late game.

Wondering if any of y’all have been building DFT and any opinions from your own experiences!!

Which calorie app do y’all prefer?

Hey guys!!

I’ve currently gained quite a bit of alcohol weight, and i’m trying to lose it as of now, so beyond cutting back on how much i drink, i’m also tracking my calories.

I was wondering if y’all preferred chronometer or MyFitnessPal? My boyfriend uses Chronometer, and i’ve been using MyFitnessPal, but the fact i can’t scan stuff definitely drives me crazy. On the flip side, the ads on Chronometer also make me want to lose my mind.

I have no intention of getting a premium subscription for either, but wondering what y’all prefer!! If you guys have used either :)

EDIT: if this is a subreddit catered to the “lose it” app then i totally missed that part 😭😭 my apologies if it is haha

Almost Watermelon season!!

Hey guys!!

I’m a HUGE watermelon fan. It’s my fav fruit, and has been since i was a very small kid.

I used to be really good at choosing crisp watermelons, but last year it felt like all of them just kind of sucked. They were either too squishy, went bad super fast, or just tasted off.

I’m wondering where the best place is to get watermelons?? or if y’all have better luck with one place over another?

I love harder, crisper watermelons, especially because squishy fruit just turns me off, kinda like a texture thing haha.

A few of the watermelons i got last year ended up going to waste (not the entire thing, but a significant amount) and I really hate wasting food, especially fruits, and the price of watermelon has been on the rise so i don’t want to be wasting any of it! or buying squishy / bad produce.

In the past i’ve found Sobey’s and Save-on are typically good, costco seems to be going downhill though… but as of last year, every watermelon i got from any store seemed to have problems.

Any recommendations would be AWESOME!!

Huge thanks in advance from a gal who loves watermelon
