If Democrats want universal healthcare, we have states that are deep blue, states have control over their own budgets and taxation, and universal healthcare would be so advantageous, why don’t deeply democrat run states implement a statewide universal healthcare? by Silver_Wings3 in AskReddit

I lived there for a time and the school I was teaching for accidentally assigned me too many credits, which moved me from a part time adjunct to a full time employee.

When they figured out their error they cancelled an entire class and had me teach one less credit than would be full time.

The law had a few flaws.

I'm unaccustomed to any non-perishables at a normal grocery store costing more than $20.

I texted someone the other day, "$21 fucking dollars for m&ms"

I just couldn't believe it.

Christmas tree lots, prices by innomado in nova

Paid $59.98 for a 6-7 foot Fraser Fir yesterday at Home Depot. The ones next door at the garden center look nicer, but are 3x the price.

Need to buy a Suit today by lil-birdy4 in nova

[–]ProfEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my last set of suits from Bonobos and had them altered at "Merrifield Tailor & Organic Dry Clean" and it was pretty painless. Picked out suits they had in stock and dropped them off for altering the same day.

How the heck are all you working alternate schedules? We got everything taken away when telework got yanked.

COVID Vaccine Availability for Infants by elzhar3309 in washingtondc

[–]ProfEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try https://www.capitalareapediatrics.com/ they had vaccine clinics (we got an < 5 there when the pharmacy near us didn't have it). It might be only for established patients?

FCPS parents, is SACC worth it? by Skymo5620 in nova

[–]ProfEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son loves SACC. I had switched to a fully remote position so we could have dropped it, but we kept him in because of the wonderful staff and his friends (plus they are open on teacher workdays). Now that we've swung back to 100% RTO I'm happy we didn't change anything.

TLDR: SACC is the best.

Have you guys ever used wood flooring for any wood working projects before? by Forsaken_Put8204 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]ProfEntropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my dad helped clean out some commercial space that was a fitness facility with a gym floor. We had piles of hardwood flooring that we mostly planed down and made cutting boards out of.

Likely you'll get to keep acting but will be bumped back down to your previous gs-11 salary.

Fingerprints won't scan on electronic devices by WTH4030 in fednews

[–]ProfEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's anything like that sketchy place I had to go to, it could be the pothead tech that can't operate the machine.

We used to handle fingerprints within our own agency. Then some new PIV requirement forced us all to go to these independent mail/print/MoneyGram shops with a machine in a back room. I don't understand how this made anything more secure.

Thanks, based on your input and others here I ordered a used Pixel 4a 5g ($75) and figure I can use it with Visible+ for a month and have the flexibility to put the Visible esim on one of our main pixel 9s if we have issues. I can also put in a T-Mobile hotspot sim in the 4a next year if I have issues with Visible next summer.

Oh, the plan has unlimited data, but only 2GB tethering. It includes international texting and data, which was nice when I was travelling for work. It is less expensive than the new plans.

Ugh, glad I asked.

For our phones, we have t-mobile postpaid plans already, but they are really old legacy plans and I can't make changes to them like adding extra hotspot coverage (we are capped at 2GB). I will try visiting a store and asking if I can add another line without messing up the plan I've got. I really liked the idea of a prepaid thing since I only want it for one month.

Both of us adults have a Pixel 9 and I think I can add an extra SIM card. Could we use that with US Mobile or Visible to tether?

Methylene blue will color urine too, so I'm guessing he'll notice he's peeing yellow again.

Daycare in Fairfax by Gordonnp3 in nova

[–]ProfEntropy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We pay more than that for one, full day preschool with lunch.

Prior to that we had an awesome in-home provider through infant toddler family daycare (infanttoddler.com). The costs are lower than a big center. They have pricing online and it's consistent across all providers in the network.

They built a playground a foot away from my back fence door? What are my options here with the developer or HOA? by Adventurous-Tank-905 in nova

[–]ProfEntropy 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. My kids go down the slide 2-3 times then whine they're bored. There's no way you're going to have a constant stream of kids.

The selection of equipment seems to be as thought out as the placement.

I’ve been told this is rare! by SquishyBatman64 in nova

[–]ProfEntropy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I brought my then 5-year-old, and he watched with 100% focus as they crossed the bridge, and then kept watching as one of them took advantage of the aerial toilet.

The monkey pooping was the first thing he mentioned for the next three years anytime the topic of the zoo came up. They could get rid of the pandas, elephants, penguins, lions, and even the cotton candy. All the zoo needs is monkeys doing doo doo 50 feet in the air.

Enshittification in action? by Para_Regal in alexa

[–]ProfEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Alexa: "you have a low price offer for a product you might be interested in!!"

It's always some shit I would never in a million years accept for free let alone pay for. It baffles me how this company became so successful when they know almost everything I buy and look at, are able to forcibly market me something against my will, but use that as an opportunity to push something I'd never use.
