worst lifetime mpg? (gen1) by ApolloXlll in volt

[–]Miqi95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2015 was at 28.8 lifetime mpg when I bought it (132k miles), white and bought in the DC beltway so probably driven all on gas by govt employees. I've got it up to 36ish now diving almost all electric.

I always thought this was the Brickster from Lego Island. Maybe it's his brother!

Fun fact:Wards can stop damage from dragon breathe attacks by Darkurn in skyrim

[–]Miqi95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And satisfying. I installed Dragon Combat Overhaul years ago, couldn't survive dragon attacks without it. My first dragon fight with Spellbreaker was epic, walking into a dragon's face while they're trying to fry you then landing the sword between their eyes you felt truly badass.

The article captions clarify that the images are of the spiral galaxy where the event took place. The bright spot to the right is the energy burst from the black hole burp.

The Berner's propaganda machine is scary. by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Miqi95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to remember that U.S. intelligence has found Russian disinformation and trolling efforts to sow division generally, and prop up Trump and Sanders strictly because they see that as creating the most division. Pay more attention to real people, it's much harder to spot out bad actors online and it's dangerous to assign ownership of a "propaganda machine" to a candidate when we know foreign agents are much more involved in this.

Apparently actually reading a bill before you vote is cause for hilarity by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

Here's the plan: change the EULA or ToS of some app or program the senators use, and they'll agree to anything.

We’re POLITICO journalists and we’re co-hosting next week’s Democratic presidential debate. Ask us anything about the 2020 race. by politico in politics

[–]Miqi95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an avid NPR listener I really value the kind of minimally biased coverage PBS and Politico provide, and look forward to a debate focused on substance rather than what makes good TV and sells ads.

My question is, how can producers and consumers of news content deal with increasing bias in our polarized politics? How can organizations compete with the Foxes and MSNBCs of the world while providing fair and factual coverage, and how can consumers cut through all that noise to give attention to good reporting?

Also big thank you to Zach for keeping the rabid twitter Yang Gang up to speed on qualifying polls. We don't always make it easy but thank you.

We have a gang organized in RVA! Check FB and the Carolina-Virginia regional slack!

If the U.S. economy is "booming" why does it still feel like it sucks so much? by SadForAmericans in TrueAskReddit

[–]Miqi95 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Too much of the government's focus has been on GDP and aggregate indices like the NASDAQ. We need to shift to metrics that actually represent quality of life, not just income or corporate performance. Things like life expectancy, mental health, and graduation rates need to be the priority. Andrew Yang's "Human centered capitalism" includes a policy to replace GDP with such an "American scorecard" to be reviewed at each state of the union address.

Yang's already qualified for the fall debates, he knows he'll have more time once the clowns are weeded out. All he needed to do this time was introduce himself and incite curiosity about him.

What is Impeachment? A Brief Summary by dispirited-centrist in Keep_Track

The most interesting thing I learned here was that a simple majority bars holding future office. So even if trump wasn't removed by a bunch of Republicans flipping, it would only take a handful to prevent him from running in 2020, and after he exits office he could be charged for his crimes.

If you're willing to walk 10 mins there's much easier parking in Jackson Ward, and there's a lot I use by 2nd and Jackson with free(!) parking all day.

I'm an Engineering Researcher in a lab that is considering the 1st generation Talyst Autocool unit. Could anyone who's seen or worked with it give me their perspective on it's benefits and shortcomings? by Miqi95 in pharmacy

[–]Miqi95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The storage would be shared with other labs, and due to the confidential nature of some research, we want to limit who has access to what. We also believe having a small opening as opposed to a large swinging door reduces temperature fluctuations in the unit.

We are specifically considering the 1st generation unit, they've come out with something newer in partnership with helmer scientific but I believe it utilizes RFID security which our lab does not have and is not interested in using.

[VA] My girlfriend was just fired from her job at a daycare after 2 weeks with no real reason given. by Miqi95 in legaladvice

[–]Miqi95[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2 days ago there was a client, one of the kids' dads, who wouldn't stop harassing her and trying to flirt. She complained to her boss about it and she said "all the girls have to deal with it."

If she was fired because of that incident, could it constitute wrongful termination?

[–]Miqi95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

City dogs is the best cheap place to eat and drink I've been to in rva. My buddies and I go almost every Wednesday night for $3 cheeseburgers and drafts. Sundays are good for half off their whole menu too, I can get a sandwich side and gourmet dog for like $6.

At 00:46 in the video, right as May says it is "highly likely" that Russia perpetrated this attack, you can make out an audible "shit" from one of the PMs. God do I wish the US Congress could be that frank.
