The ankle bracelet is also an immigration issue! Those things run hundreds of dollars a month, and there’s an expectation that you will pay for your own or be deported https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/09/immigration-detainees-bond-ankle-monitors-libre/ It’s absurd that our country allows companies to profit…

Hey Salty! I live in DC and there is still a tipped minimum wage of $3.33 here; we voted to pay servers the real minimum wage, but that’s being phased in over time, if the city council doesn’t overturn it. https://wtop.com/local-politics-elections-news/2018/07/dc-council-moves-to-overturn-voter-approved-initiative-77/
Yeah. I love Kamala Harris, but the part of me that has experience in public policy wanted to cry as she keeps advertising her rent relief act, giving tax credit to anyone who paid more than 30% of their income on rent and made <$100k. It’s just makes zero economic sense, in the sense that it creates very perverse…
If you are on a US carrier, you have no hope. I’ve gotten these things on a lot of international carriers though!
As a female former astrophysicist (now in the space industry), I absolutely hated this show. Not only was it misogynistic, and had zero representation from underrepresented ethnicities in the field, but it also stereotyped my people. Some of us are socially competent. Some of us don’t even like Star Wars or Star Trek.…
This was a huge issue in DC recently— health inspectors were fining places that had dogs on patios, even though it was previously overlooked. Let me tell you, this became a super high priority for the city council to overturn after all of the complaints (“Dining with Dogs emergency legislation”), rather than dealing…
The Nike workout tops do when you get them from a thrift store/for free (also it looks like someone pulled it out of their closet from 1995). I am almost sure this woman is homeless and mentally ill; I’m pretty sure I saw her get kicked out of the Union Station Au Bon Pain at one point. Not that that justifies her…
I’m actually pretty sure I’ve seen this same woman before in DC and also pretty sure she is homeless/mentally ill. I think I saw her get kicked out of the Union Station Au Bon Pain at one point. Not that mental illness makes her remarks ok, but I’m not sure there’s anything productive to do to change her...
Solution: never buy a bottle of wine at a restaurant. Buy beer, as excellent beer can be had at much lower prices. I almost cried last night when I was eating at a decently nice restaurant and I saw them bringing a bottle of Ravenswood wine to a table.
Have you read the paper? Probably not, because it’s behind a paywall for me. But, this is practically the most basic stat 101 Fisher’s exact test scenario, which a high schooler could tell you shows correlation. Also they say that all patients who see female doctors are more likely to survive, which implies they did…
I got a moto x4 after having the Moto X Pure (I broke that one, and the battery life was shot), and it’s the worst phone I’ve ever owned. The LTE signal keeps cutting out, and I have to go into airplane mode to reacquire it, even outdoors in urban areas. I’m on my 4th moto x4 from them because their troubleshooting…
I recommend https://www.theflightdeal.com/category/flight-deals/ I now finally have a decent job where I can spend less time searching for rock bottom prices, but my crowning flight achievements include a $350 roundtrip ticket from LA to New Delhi on Emirates (error fare), $250 roundtrip flight from NYC to Barcelona,…
As someone who’s done work with DHS before, but is very anti what’s happening right now with undocumented immigrants, I get the position of RAICES, but I also don’t think it is clear Salesforce is in the wrong if they indeed aren’t contributing to the detaining of undocumented immigrants. CBP also does things like…
Given that 22% of all Amazon reviewers give the refurbished one one star due to crappy jobs refurbishing, I would not consider this a good deal.

Not to be splitting hairs, but being the first black woman to graduate from a program explicitly in nanoscience is not the same as being the first black woman nanoscientist in the state. See this list of physics Ph.D.s http://aawip.com/aawip-members/; at the very least (I didn’t go through the whole list) Ivy Krystal…
You’re not allowed to bring any electronics inside of said government facilities, but you can leave them in your car, so... They’re pretty serious; even a USB cable is a no-no.
Correct!
Agreed on this one. Fees like that are based on cost recovery for the agency, not some government scam trying to take your money. And generally the people in charge of implementing programs like this have little power to decide things like whether registration can be free; the drone registration regulation came from a…
“Harris blocked off a second stairwell that prevented attendees from escaping”. Pretty sure that makes him liable, regardless of how many people he “saved”, because he was responsible for making the thing a death trap to begin with. Seems like he did it to manage his party, which then backfired, and he’s trying to…
This too is my general philosophy, but why do we tip bartenders who open a can/bottle of beer, and don’t even pour anything, $1 (or at least I feel that is standard)? Is it because it’s a bar? If it’s in a place where they’re working making a very low tipped minimum wage, it makes sense to help the bartenders survive,…
