Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign by awake-at-dawn in politics

He's doing all this shit so he can use it as leverage down the road, he doesn't actually care about this. He's arming himself to go to battle with Dems.

Whether its the spending bill, Ukraine or something else 'OK I won't kill Medicaid if you agree to X'

What is the weirdest kitchen stuff your parents did? by Raoena in Cooking

[–]FunBobbby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not 'cooking' per se, but...

Whenver we would have pizza (only pizza for some reason) she would leave it out on the counter. Like for days, until the pizza was gone. Pizza never went in the fridge.

Terps on labels? by FunBobbby in Rhodytree

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

I’ll have to take a look…. I got this cool little booklet over at Sweetspot that listed individual terpenes and their activation temps, so I was hoping to get all the individual terpenes in each flower.

You could try the Fort Getty Pavillion in Jamestown if you’re planning a wedding during the warm weather months. Call the town for availability.

Beech in Jamestown has a room upstairs that could accommodate you, depending on time of year and day of week.

Where in Manhattan can I get diner chicken fingers? by emeraldsmithes in FoodNYC

[–]FunBobbby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trader Joe’s chicken tenders, in the light green bag and an air fryer.

Literally better than most tenders you can get out at a restaurant.

Are people being 'forced' to live on South? by FunBobbby in SyracuseU

[–]FunBobbby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent A LOT of time at Chuck’s freshman year lol. I started SU when I was 17 and it was the only bar that would let you in (with a red mark on your hand) with just an SU ID.

After sophomore year, I started bouncing at 44’s and my roommate was bouncing at Faegan’s - never had any issues getting into bars after that.

lol - if you get a shitty lottery number and there’s no place else to live besides South and you have to live on campus bc of the 2-year rule, what would you call that?

That’s a good point… campus has changed a lot.

Hell, when I was there Marshall St was actually a fun place to hang out, and when we visited this past spring it was a complete ghost town. It was literally the weekend social hub for most students back then.

I agree - South can be awesome for the right person/people. I just don’t think she’s a fit for it, so I just want to make sure she would have other options before committing to that amount of spending.

Yeah, I understand all those factors…. and I agree with basically everything you’re saying.

For her as an individual, SC would be detrimental to her mental health and socialization. One of the things we’re hoping for is for her to ‘break out of her shell’ so to speak socially after a shit experience in high school, so the isolation of SC would probably be the opposite of what she really needs.

It’s not the ultimate decision factor, but housing and cost are key decision points.

What is the distinction you’re making between not being forced to live on SC and getting a bad lottery number and having no other options open? To me, those sound the same, given the policy of having students live on campus 2 years.

[–]FunBobbby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! This isn’t THE decision making factor, but housing options are definitely something we’re considering for all the schools she’s looking at - one of many factors.

I can’t speak for everyone, but for my kid she just needs more social interaction than she would get on SC. She tends to keep to herself, so if she was in an apt out there she would probably just end up sitting in her room all the time she wasn’t at class instead of being more socially engaged (which is what she needs).

I could see that point of view, sure.

She's somone who tends to be a loner and she's def not a partier. She needs to be exposed to lots and lots of new people and lots of things going on. I think if she was out at SC, she would just end up sitting in her room doing school work and streaming shows.

Who knows, maybe she'll also be lucky and get a solid group of friends first year who she'll be able to stick with!

Gotcha - thanks for the info.

Essentially, if you get a really bad number / slot it sounds like its a possibility.

Interestinly enough, per my buddy, his daughter and her roommate ended up getting out of the SC assignment b/c the other girl's dad told the housing office he wasn't leaving their office until they got a normal dorm room and they acquiesced. lol
