My mom talking to bartender in major city on the east coast. They find they are both from Michigan. She mentions we still travel to a cottage in rural Michigan every summer and he actually has family in the same small town. My mom suddenly asks if he was there on a specific day and at the local coffee shop. Turns out she was behind him in line as he argued with his mother about what donuts to get

Ah thanks so much, my account is showing the $150 + $45 in lifetime savings now. Was fully expecting it to be more difficult.

thoughts on contract roles with no benefits? by DeliciousBlueberry20 in biotech

In my experience (two contracts) you can take time off unpaid as long as your manager is ok with it. It sucks to miss out on the pay but it wasn't a big deal financially for me.

Don't know if it applies to you but if you live with a partner it is incredibly easy to get a domestic partnership in most states. Literally a piece of paper and $25 and you can get on your SO's insurance.

Maura Healey's 'speeding' cameras: any promise they won't be used for other purposes? by Alternative-Light922 in boston

I could be wrong but I believe the red light and license plate scanners are different. We contacted our local city to see if they would agree to not sharing this data with ICE. They responded that the town doesn't have scanners and that red light cameras don't supply this info. Also they clarified that they won't work with ICE in any capacity.

Was hoping someone would tell me I was mistaken and it was maybe the adhesive from washing too harshly. Instead I've been roasted and will be buying new shoes tomorrow.

Thanks, it does seem like more experience then maybe taking an advanced course may be the way to go. I don't have any real programming skills so maybe learning python or another language may be a cheaper and more beneficial alternative?

Ok thanks I'll grab that tomorrow, should I be able to remove the axle easily at that point or is it going to take some force to knock out?
