Unrelated to the color-code system that they’ve imposed, their mac and cheese is awesome (that is all they serve, in many flavors). I used to live two blocks from there.

Me too, and I always put one on my bed anyway to seem civilized, despite always kicking it to the end of the bed. I am taking this as a justification to never put the top sheet on again
Also a DC resident. My pet peeve is the number of people who actually double park (because what is described here is not double parking), blocking entire lanes of traffic for many minutes when there are parallel parking spaces or other places they could pull over within the block. I think parking enforcement needs to…
Especially applies to white people calling the police on POC. Definitely have the DC Mental Health Access Help Line Programmed into my phone (1-888-793-4357), and wish I’d had that years ago for some of the other places I’ve lived. This has some useful resources https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Y0LwX0uOz-P63FVhV0OF…
I work in a related industry, and just hosted a panel that included someone from FEMA that managed the disaster relief. The issue was more complicated than this makes it sound— FEMA had apparently shipped more than enough fuel to depots on the island pre-hurricane, but there apparently weren’t enough tankers on the…
There was definitely mismanagement in the disaster response, but the fuel issue is more complicated than this makes it sound. I heard from someone in FEMA that they had actually delivered more than enough fuel pre-hurricane. The problem was actually because PR didn’t have enough trucks on the island to distribute the…
I don’t disagree that a lack of attention to PR was due to racism. But, I did hear from someone at DHS that they had actually delivered more than enough fuel pre-hurricane. The problem was actually because PR didn’t have enough trucks on the island to distribute the fuel. DHS delivered a bunch of tankers as quickly…
I’m pretty sure that any time you write about stolen space rocks, you have to link to this article: https://gizmodo.com/5242736/how-an-intern-stole-nasas-moon-rocks The most hilarious part of being an astrophysics grad student was probably unexpectedly hosting him as a visiting prospective student pre-application…
Most hilarious part of being an astrophysics grad student was probably unexpectedly hosting a visiting prospective student pre-application period. We took him out to a happy hour, where we discovered he had just gotten out of prison for masterminding the “moon rock caper”— i.e. stole moon rocks from NASA Johnson like…
Sounds like the company should’ve been shut down a very long time ago, with at least two bridges collapsing previously: http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fiu-bridge-collapse-construction-firms-accused-of-unsafe-practices-10176596
It’s against FAA regs to have dogs, including service animals, on a seat. They either have to be on a passenger’s lap or at their feet. And I know this firsthand having been on a flight where an idiot woman brought on two “emotional support” dogs and got hauled off the plane by police when we landed for refusing to…
This sounds like the making for an excellent interview for this site (I now want to know her whole life story, but the local Atlanta news story seems to be the only thing on the internet about her!)
Most interesting museum cafe I’ve been to is probably in my backyard: Mitsitsam Cafe, at the National Museum of the American Indian in DC. It’s a bit pricey, but they cook Native American foods and have everything sorted by region. Where else could you get that?
The audio version is the best! I’m definitely not normally an audiobook person, but Trevor narrating is truly the greatest— the sheer number of accents he puts on is amazing (plus the fact that he speaks like 8 languages). I meant to listen to it in both directions of a long road trip, but became so absorbed in it…
False. It depends on the state, but Alabama requires you to reregister if you have moved counties prior to election day: https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/movers-guide-alabama I’m sure you can get away with moving and not reregistering in some places, but given Alabama’s strict voter laws and the fact that they…
But if they didn’t have to wear cleanroom suits to begin with, I’d assume it’s not quite as terrible as everyone is making it out to be?
Should be true, but it is not. Undocumented immigrants also don’t have the right to a court-appointed attorney, so a lot have no idea what they should be doing to improve their odds to stay in this country (e.g., missing a hearing gets you an automatic deportation order). Also habeas corpus is still up in the air…
If you’re traveling, shouldn’t you just be able to remove the battery permanently and go home without it? You’d think they’d still give you the rebate sans battery... Non-removable only means it’s hard to remove and you may fuck up your phone while doing so, which at this point shouldn’t matter.
It’s really weird, it’s an instant book link, so I’m not sure how they’re planning on vetting the no bus deal.
That was a remarkably easy find on the no-bus situation. I almost want to go ring their doorbell and tell them how racist they are. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.93217…
