I have a Fitbit with a silicone wrist band, and use it as my alarm. It vibrates on my wrist at the set alarm time. You can even set multiple alarms for different days if your work schedule varies, if you want a work day vs day off alarm time etc.

He’s saying the vindictive assholes are going to make some shit up. They’ll try for “acting suspicious” as a general description, and embellish as needed. I’ve seen (not in DC) “riding down the alley on a bike looking over back fences” reported in neighborhood Facebook groups and the like; that would be easy to claim…
Agreed. Husband and I visited Italy, withhim learning Spanish in high school and me learning French in high school/college. It was tough, my brain kept defaulting to French whenever I tried to speak.
Nice reference!
Well, there are the “bought a farm in the middle of nowhere interesting, with a well and a stream” types, but that’s for the more advanced planning. Sub-/urban “non-professional” preppers are a little more constrained. (Rain catches, that kind of thing.)
You really don’t think they value water? Preppers seriously do. Between best ways to stockpile it and the best filters to clean collected water (Berkey, Sawyer, etc.), plus different things to add to sanitize (chlorine dioxide tabs for starters), water is a huge discussion topic.
I use those big-ass Ikea blue bags that sell for a buck or so, to donate stuff in to Goodwill. (They’re great for Costco trips too.)
I have a different Trader Joe’s bag (the canvas one pictured at the top as the NO bag) hanging on a hook on the back of my kitchen door, which contains a number of shopping bags. The great ones for Costco trips are the big-ass Ikea blue bags; no more giant cardboard boxes that you lug home and have to break down and…
I am replying to you because like then, as now, you continue to cherry-pick a single statement or phrase and seize upon that as irrefutable proof that You Are Right and Everyone Else Is Wrong, rather than look at the explanation that states that actually, those other people were basically right AND far more informed…
I posted it in response to the correct comment.
And there is not a $20 hard-cap encoded in the federal regulations; going into why the generally but not always correct answer is “about $20 (but it totally depends)“ is a topic that takes a lot of time and history to discuss. I could - and many people do! - teach…
You stated a citation was needed. That’s one of the federal regulations on the topic.
Yes, absolutely. This level of compensation makes sense in that instance.
Don’t feel too bad - I remembered the same but am having no luck at finding it.
45 CFR 46.116.
I can think of some that would have higher payments, like ones requiring in-house stays (insomnia research, sleep labs, needing to do 24/7 monitoring for various reasons), but agreed, the vast majority of studies - especially on patients with actual medical needs - do not pay very much.
Few research studies involve payment beyond maybe a small stipend (intended to cover parking/meals/etc.), unless you’re going to one of those private “research clinics” that expects in-house stays and the like, where a significant amount of payment is basically required. In addition, research review/ethics boards look…
She’s keeping Krampus in Christmas. It’s heartwarming to retain your traditions from the Old Country, rather than assimilating entirely.
I applaud the use of the phrasing “the holidays” rather than caving to the Fox News-watching fanatics. But points off to her spokesperson for not being smart enough to capitalize “FLOTUS.” Props for bringing in birch branches to celebrate Krampus, the Slavic devil figure that savagely whips bad children. (Oo, I forgot…
I’m shocked they aren’t gold-plated. You can tell he had no input.
