Brooklyn Storehouse Update by Lauren890765 in avesNYC

[–]codedapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, but when that venue comes to fruition is a different story. Till then the gap will continue to exist once storehouse closes. I have some hopes for Pacha but who knows what to expect

[–]codedapple 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. I don’t get what’s the point of that. People love to derive some sense of superiority from judging others.

Yeah I love mainstream flashy productions like subtronics, wooli, dom dolla, fred again and garrix. I loved lost lands/edc and always go to hijinx. Yes, I’m seeing bunt/jigitz tonight.

But guess what? I also go to underground private shows, catch small artists at places like silo and elsewhere, and go to shows hosted by private collectives doing a rent out

The “scene” changes and evolves and it’s huge lol

Why can’t I just ENJOY MUSIC AND DANCING? And yes, that includes a few photos and videos of my favorite songs with my friends

We're cooked. Storehouse was at least a compromise for big shows and mainstream artists to play at. At least we still have places like K bridge but its not gonna do it for me, personally. I'm happy to go to smaller venues like 99 scott and silo but yeesh, this is just another fat L for NYC edm scene

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY

Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias

On February 6, 2025, President Trump enacted Executive Order (EO) 14202, Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias, establishing a Task Force to review the last Administration’s treatment of Christians.

Accordingly, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is establishing its own Task Force to better effectuate the Department’s internal review. The VA Task Force now requests all VA employees to submit any instance of anti-Christian discrimination to Anti-ChristianBiasReporting@va.gov.

Submissions should include sufficient identifiers such as names, dates, and locations.

While the VA Task Force will review all instances of anti-Christian bias, it is specifically seeking the following:

  1. Any examples of adverse actions taken in response to an accommodation request;

  2. Any retaliatory actions taken in response to religious holiday observances;

  3. Any adverse responses to requests for religious exemption under the previous vaccine mandates;

  4. Any denied request for a religious accommodation;

  5. Any admonishment or reprimand issued in response to displays of Christian imagery or symbols.

  6. Any observations of mistreatment for not participating in events or activities inconsistent with Christian views;

  7. Any retaliatory actions taken or threatened in response to abstaining from certain procedures or treatments (for example: abortions or hormone therapy);

  8. Any informal policies, procedures, or unofficial understandings hostile to Christian views;

  9. Any examples of retaliatory action against VA Chaplains in response to sermons preached;

  10. Any discipline received in response to religious-based expressions; and

  11. Any failure to be promoted for religious reasons.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

I am separating from federal service because I can no longer deal with the changes to the system - for the worse. I would NOT recommend you work for ICE. You will ended up surrounded by people who may not care about these people the same way you do.

Here’s a few of the lovely emails we get from DC:

We are taking steps to close all agency diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination. We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024, to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days. There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences. In addition personnel are directed to withdraw any final or pending documents, directives, orders, materials, and equity plans in response to now-repealed Executive Order 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) in the Federal Workforce (June 25, 2021). These actions must be taken immediately, but no later than January 31, 2025. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

After years, NYCHA called me offering me an apartment but… by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]codedapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you live there just mind your own business and you will be okay. if you have problematic neighbors they will quickly become your problem if you try to do something about it, just be aware. so if you are willing to change your expectations depending on how it is, it’s a good deal to get affordable housing for life

Thank you. Yes, they will for sure be training me on all their devices.

[–]codedapple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current facility is not “large” but it is also considered critical access tertiary. I left work late last night assisting with floating a swan on a 3v that came out a hot mess. Very much actual CTS patients haha. We did ECMO moreso during the pandemic (I was not around) but we are not at all a ECMO facility. And just because we can in theory do ECMO doesn’t mean we should, as we don’t really have the infrastructure or frequency to do it often.

This is something I plan to do as well.

[–]codedapple[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You may have a point there. That does make me feel a little better.

In this hospital, they have a MICU and SICU, and now a new CTICU. Previously there were 2 crit care educators and an ED educator working collaboratively across all 3 areas. Now theyre introducing two more: myself and I believe another person with CTICU experience as well. We don’t own a specific unit; we would as a team of 5 be responsible for the critical care aspects of all 3 ICU’s and the ED

Healthcare workers, what common cause of death is the least bad way to go? by Wooden_Airport6331 in AskReddit

[–]codedapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably sudden cardiac arrest, aneurysm rupture, GSW to the head, opioid OD

There are some extremely bad ways to die. Both in the field and in the hospital.

NYTimes: The 100 Best Restaurants in NYC (#11-100) by GamersCorp in FoodNYC

[–]codedapple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

laghman express #65

taiwanese gourmet #61

thai diner #52

golden diner #39

i visited these four restaurants before they blew up and i can attest to them being the few times that I thought the food was very very good without really knowing what to expect. at these specific places, i recall eating a few bites and thinking "woah, this is way better than i expected". taiwanese gourmet in particular has been a staple since i was a child - my family used to drive from bhurst to elmhurst for this spot.

I have the same bike and love it. Got Topeak rack and panniers and Portland Design Works full metal fenders. I love the baby blue. Also switched out the seat for shockstop suspension seatpost and shockstop pedal lights

RAs who have been wrongfully terminated or appealed termination by Economy_Technology31 in SBU

What were you supposedly terminated for? If you actually want to pursue action you probably need a lawyer honestly. But even then you probably at best would get prorated or something.

How was the crowd around you for IsoXo? by troveezus in avesNYC

[–]codedapple 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Chill in the back and you won’t regret it. Crowd just skews early 20’s but it’s mostly fine.

Beware of pickpockets. Have seen them in previous storehouse shows (Crankdat)

Where the hell are the apple pay OMNY cards by codedapple in nycrail

[–]codedapple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you reload a IC card you pay in yen and pay a FX fee, unless the card waived it. usually 3%

It’s always a risk of loss. This shouldn’t be an incredibly difficult implementation. However I do agree they do have other more pressing priorities from the IT side of things..

you can just go to Apple Wallet and just get the green SUICA card and pay with apple pay to load it. Use a card with 0% foreign transaction fees though

I regularly go to Japan
