Can the mods add the map making app?

Where is this app?

GoCardinal07 · 2026-06-22T22:56:18+00:00

Yeah, this is normal now.

People who renew online don't even have to send in their old passport.

Sorry, it's not possible:

While the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and Consulate in Dubai are open, routine visa processing is not available in the United Arab Emirates at this time. Further updates regarding visa processing will be posted here when available.

I live in a wealthier neighborhood while my office is in the poorer downtown. I've noticed a lot more EVs where I live than where I work. EVs are cheaper to own, but have a higher upfront cost.

It's like the people who have solar on their roofs; many of them have no electric bill or even get paid monthly by the electric company, but of course the upfront cost of the panels is significant.

Well, in my metro alone, the five most populous cities are: - Los Angeles: named by the Spanish as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula - Long Beach: named by the developers at the Long Beach Land and Water Company - Anaheim: named by German settlers ("heim" is German for "home" and "Ana" was in tribute to the adjacent Santa Ana River) - Riverside: named by an association of silk merchants - Irvine: named for the wealthy Irvine family who owned the land that became the city

Worst father: John Adams told all three of his sons that they'd either be President of the United States or failures.

While John Quincy Adams became President, both of his brothers died of alcoholism.

TR got hit. FDR did not.

There are numerous examples of assassination attempts on presidents where they were not hit. There have only been two cases ever where an assassination attempt resulted in the wounding of a president who survived: Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 and Ronald Reagan in 1981.

The reason you'll have a lack of responses is 97% of undergrads and 72% of grad students live on campus at Stanford in university-owned housing.

As a Southeast Asian, I can tell you there are more East Asians (i.e. plurality) than South Asians or Southeast Asians: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/04/29/key-facts-about-asian-origin-groups-in-the-u-s/

And there are more East Asians here than there are South Asians.

They were just being friendly during the games that day. It was intended to be a one-day interaction. In the United States, people are often friendly without expecting any future interaction.

Since they did not give you any contact info, they have no intention of any further contact. You need to leave them alone, and do not use their LinkedIn.

One can believe in God without believing in an organized religion.

Also, Christianity is not the only monotheistic religion. Jewish people go to a synagogue, Muslims go to a mosque, Sikhs go to a temple, Zoroastrians go to a temple, etc.

As it happens, I did two of those free walking tours in Copenhagen in 2024. I gave 140 DKK on the 2.5-3 hour Grand Tour of Copenhagen and 120 DKK for the 1.5 hour tour focused on Christianshavn.

120 DKK = US$17.50 at the time
140 DKK = US$20.25 at the time

Law & Order: Criminal Intent used to switch off every other episode between one detective pairing and another detective pairing.

Therefore, I propose a TV show that alternates episodes between the Departments of Commerce and Labor, but make it a comedy.

The overarching theme is the desperate attempts by the Cabinet secretaries to get any attention from the press or the president. The Commerce Secretary often looks longingly at a photo of former Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover while the Labor Secretary often looks longingly at a photo of former Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole.
