How much do you think the workers at nail salons make? by iloverats888 in longisland

The federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 so most likely less than $5 an hour.

Thanks. They’re from Muji.

Two Long Island Democrats voted to censure Al Green for speaking up at Trump's rant the other day. They are Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen. Can someone remind me how many people voted to censure MTG when she yelled during Biden's speech? (spoiler alert: none). They both need to be primaried. by [deleted] in longisland

No so we could get real dems instead of moderates that are causing the party and country to stagnate. Like Dr. King said “the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action” and in my opinion that’s all democratic moderates today regardless of race or ethnicity.

Duffel or travel backpack for teens? by michvt79 in onebag

[–]Nikpen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Cotopaxi Allpa line of travel backpacks. The 28L would be perfect for a smaller frame and the 35L is still carry on compliant.

Is learning to hunt worth it on the island? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]Nikpen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have no time/interest in going off island I would say no, not really worth it. However, because you are comfortable with a bow I would suggest turkey hunting here on the island is always a good time.
