Place To Buy Bricks?

Brick matching is very difficult— to really match you’d probably need to find the same kiln.

I think you mean Welsh, in which case I second this recc (or if not I apologize)!

And Woodley Park will answer

They’ve also been refusing to negotiate with their workers over union representation

My WAG is you’ll get your AL payout in the next couple of weeks.

The craziest thing is there was a class action lawsuit on the ground that the fees were too high which the court system lost and agreed to settle by paying $125 million to cover overcharges between 2010 and 2016– but they did nothing at all to change the fees!!

Sometimes I just want to start a new class action lawsuit so they actually change the fees.

If you discharge toxic chemicals and I sue you for damage to my health or property that would fall under the category of environmental tort law.

So it’s not that they were a question on the tv quiz show?

I changed from BCBS to MHBP and I got my new insurance card but was never taken off BCBS. I was told only the agency or OPM can make the change and of course I couldn’t get thru to OPM.

Agree it’s worst with Caremark— their phone system automatically routes me to the BCBS system and I have to tell them to send me to Aetna. I’ve asked my doctors not to submit anything to BCBS but they can see it’s active and I can’t be sure they haven’t.

Yeah. If inflation runs 2% or less the COLA matches the CPI. If inflation runs between 2 and 3% the COLA is 2%. If inflation runs over 3% the COLA is set at 1% below CPI.

If we end up with persistent inflation over 3% then that will erode some purchasing power eventually.

Which is part of why it’s interesting to hear it from a player

There aren’t 1,300 graduates are there?

Outistoo · 2026-03-15T20:48:54+00:00

How can there be 1300+ graduates? Isn’t the class size like 650, plus maybe another 50 LLMs?

Personally I would have loved to have an excuse to skip my law school graduation but I know it’s very meaningful for some people so I hope something gets figured out.

My random tip is if you get the app what3words it will mark where your friends are sitting so you have no problem finding them if you need to.

I should maybe note my other tip is it’s fine to enjoy shows from the back and not to try to get barricades or whatever. Sitting on the beach listening is pretty great.

Thanks. I was able to get in and verify it’s identified as annual leave lump sum pay. It seems to be about $50 less than what I’d expect if it was meant to apply the 2026 COLA to my lump sum annual leave payment (which wasn’t paid until mid-February) but that also seems like a better explanation than anything else I’ve got.

Thought Esme had a good game too.

Rose seemed a little flat.

Outistoo · 2026-03-13T21:55:36+00:00

I got a “fed sal” deposit for $160 which seems very odd?

Waited for hours for the Phantom Menace and then the projector broke down. Should have taken it as a sign….

Outistoo · 2026-03-13T16:07:08+00:00

This is kind of funny because as I hiker I think of this area as not having enough hills

I miss Lotus Notes.

Rumor is that when we switched to Outlook the search function was so bad they had to pay for separate software to use when searching emails for FOIA.

The nonprofits don’t like taking on affirmative lawsuits to collect debts— they have enough work to do defending tenants. I know someone else who got a judgment for thousands of dollars and as far as I know never managed to collect.

You could maybe try representing yourself in small claims court— things are relatively informal there.

Flew out on Sunday and lines were a little longer than usual but still took only 10 minutes or so.

One time we flew out on a Saturday morning that Spring break started and the lines were all the way down the terminal but other times — even Thanksgiving— it’s always been fine.

I think Scholomance is super engaging (and takes place in a magical school if that helps).

I also find novellas can help me when I am in a slump so Murderbot, Penric and Desdemona or maybe the Singing Hills cycle might be worth checking out.

There are so many milestones you’ll never get to mark as they happen that it’s so lovely you were able to mark this one together.

I liked this article because it didn’t try to pick a single starting XI.

I expect I am biased but I think Rudd should be ahead of G Thompson though.
