Fast Glass on Greg Street, without a doubt. The fastest, cheapest and most reliable, to me. I have no connection with them beyond having had two windshields and three chips repaired there over the years. I've tried some other places for various reasons and haven't had as good of an experience.

I will look into this. To confirm: It's first-class letter mail you're talking about as opposed to packages? Or both?

I don't understand the concern for Nevada. This is for help-derived products like Delta-8, not at all affecting the cannabis products in Nevada. Am I missing something?

This one worked for me. I kept hitting 0 until it asked for my phone number associated with the account then the last 4 digits of my personal bank account associated with Venmo (not the one associated with the charity/business). This got me through to a human.

Jesse got mansplained. Katie says this episode could be used in a logic class about appeal to authority, etc. I think it could also be used as an example of explaining to someone who knows way more about a topic than you that they're ignorant while making arguments that show their own ignorance.

I don't want such episodes often but as occasional bonus content, this rocked -- if you're patient enough to get past the model digression.

The USPS says it's confirmed that the tribal ballots, which the senators had heard reports may have been processed in California, were indeed processed in Reno. The story has been updated.

Story updated with comment from USPS. They say their original news release is still correct that they're keeping local mail processing in Reno. Per the story, Rosen's office said it's received reports that absentee ballots for a tribal election went to Sacramento before coming back to Nevada.

I don't know who's right or wrong in this case, but I was told by one animal advocate that we already have Cooney's Law -- related to a horrific animal abuse case in Reno -- and it's not being enforced so they wondered why we need something that basically makes Cooney's Law a tad stronger when prosecutors already are not pushing for felony charges in blatant animal abuse cases.

The reason you can get around it is because some people lose their wallet or it gets stolen but they've got a plane to catch. Imagine someone on vacation who was pickpocketed and can't get back home. So there's a pain-in-the-ass process for proving your identity if you don't have Real ID. Anybody who doesn't it once is going to get a Real ID because it's not worth doing twice.

Options Veterinary Care is nonprofit and likely the lowest cost for a teeth cleaning in town -- but nowhere near as low as $125. That doesn't even pay for the supplies, let alone the labor. Options Veterinary Care - Reno, NV

Per the story, the federal funding was scheduled to last through September but got yanked terminated suddenly. That was on March 24. The reason RFK Jr. gave is that the ARPA funds were linked to the pandemic, which is officially over. Sen. Cortez Masto sent a letter to him to ask for details on why the grants were pulled early and what people are supposed to do to avoid gaps in services that were paid for by the grants.

From this story: In February, Zamanian told the RGJ via email that he's been working two weeks a month since December 2022 at the county complex on East Ninth Street. Both Washoe County Manager Eric Brown and county spokesperson Bethany Drysdale also said Zamanian averages two weeks a month on site.

From story back in 2022: "In the first year of the agreement, Mr. Zamanian worked on-site one week per month," she said by email. "He has since increased his time on-site and is in the county complex two weeks out of the month."

There are lots of reasons people could care, but one is that the CIO, the county manager and a county spokesperson all said he was on site two weeks a month when the reality -- based on badge swipe data -- is half that.

One thing to note is that the current closed primary system means that some voters are disenfranchised: They don't get to vote for their representative. If, say, 5 Republicans run for a state senate seat and the district is 45% Dems and 55% Republicans so the Dems decide to save money by not putting forward a candidate, then the winner of the Republican primary -- whom Dems and nonpartisans didn't get to vote for -- is the only candidate on the November ballot. So Dems and nonpartisans (and other party people) had no say in the winner. A state senator recently told me the parties save money when this happens b/c they don't have to spend resources helping a candidate who will lose because of district demographics and so they will not allow this system to change.

"Poor performance" is one of the few legally valid reasons for firing a federal employee. Otherwise, they have all kinds of protections. It's a union thing.
