I'm glad it didn't affect everyone then, if you were online at the time.
The interruption lasted for about 2 hours for me. Weird thing was that the video and audio were working normally for the most part, but it was the user side system interactions that seemed to be broken.
I couldn't purchase tokens on many attempts, then the system couldn't recognise token balances (said 'unknown' balance) which meant you couldn't send tokens, and there was intermittent issues even writing in chat.
I hope all the tips that were successfully sent to models were equally successfully received in their balance.

Do you have a time frame in Eastern?

I noticed a delay in the user panel updating a user's tip information when I clicked their name...I think it was around 6 PM Eastern. I think I received all of my tokens, I was in private for a good chunk of it.

Ran out of disinfectant wipes the other day, and still haven't picked up more. Is it sad that I'm totally lost cleaning things the old fashion way again?

My sister gave me a recipe I use (but I don't think it actually is a strong disinfectant) I use it on lightly soiled areas, though. It's basically half white vinegar, half water, then a small amount of dish soap, and then I add rose essential oil in too. I think white vinegar kills some germs, but I don't think it kills everything like Lysol, or anything like that.

Ofcourse you might not be hanging out with a gallon of white vinegar just up for use at your place lol. It's kind of a random ingredient.

Fortunately I do! lol I use it for my coffee maker and I also put it in my rug cleaner.

That is smart.

I know a person who had a really serious autoimmune thing, where everyone had to, like, sterilize every time they went into their house, and they couldn't go outside. They were basically kind of like a Bubble Boy (for lack of a better term) for a while, before they got better. Well, anyway, I remember one of the first pieces of advice the doctor gave was to get a new coffee maker, or completely take apart the old one and sterilize it. Apparently a lot of them are notorious for harboring germs. I remember I made the life move to switch back to French presses (only) after that. I tried out Keurigs and other fancy machines, but the germ aspect freaked me out too badly. They can get really gross on the inside! It's not something a lot of people really think about.

It was between about 04:00am and 06:00am Wednesday here, EDST Australia, which the lovely interweb tells me is 15 hours ahead of EST in the USA.
So somewhere around 1:00pm-3:00pm Tuesday, your time.
I think.
Time zone conversions always mess with my head.

Thanks for doing the math. I'm rarely on that early but seems like it spilled into the "swing shift" part of the day.

Yesterday my app wasn't updating with tips. Grrr

PLEASE tell me someone else here remembers this movie??? I was just talking about it earlier today with a coworker, and I was excited that she remembered it…and agreed that it’s sooo good!

It's a masterpiece. Dahl is one of my favorite authors.

Yeah, Dahl classic book! The movie has some of those scenes that you never forget as kid - akin to Labyrinth and Never Ending Story.

I'm irrationally irritated at how difficult it seems to be for me to land on a Lush tip menu I actually want to stick with.

Single numbers like 111 or a range of numbers lik e1 through 25, how big of a spread is too big, should all tip menu items be toy reactive...

INDECISIONS!!!!!!!!

That Talenti gelato is DELICIOUS, but damn, they put those lids on tight!

My usual methods of loosening up a lid weren't working (Running it under hot water...tapping the lid with a knife), so I tried and tried again 'til I finally loosened up and opened. Anyway, I bruised my hand trying to get that shit open, so I'm using an ice pack now.

Ouch! Don't forget to let it warm up a little bit before you eat it, it helps release the flavors even more.

With any lid that's tough, I bang the corner/top edge of the lid on a hard surface (usually my countertop) to release tension. I know those ones are plastic vs. the metal ones I usually do this for, but maybe give it a try next time. It's a stronger version of "tapping the lid with a knife".

this . I do this also. There's a slight pop when you bang the edge of the counter corner a few times, that tells you you broke the seal, then it unscrew s easily.

OMG ladies, please just slip a butterknife between the glass and the lid and lift up.

Sorry, mother hen appeared.

Yes that's an option too! I resort to that if the countertop bang doesn't work

Since we're on the topic of household secrets to fix/cure stuff, have any of you that get hiccups often tried this?

I swear to jeevrus this works amazingly. I used to do sugar on back of teh tongue trick, then went to drinking water upside down in more recent years, but now this straw thing does that without the feeling of nearly drowning LOL

 

[Vixxen81]

Wow I feel so useful tonight for having a brain and retaining totally useless facts instead of just having tits and three holes guys want to plug!

So check this out, a tip from a dentist because I have a massive gag reflex -- it's salt on the back of your tongue that stops alllllathat.
