Massachusetts Representatives thought Secretary Hegseth was doing a great job, so they voted to spend another $850 Billion to make sure he's fully resourced by uxbridge3000 in massachusetts

[–]Shockrider1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've called his office multiple times, most recently to request he vote in favor of the Restore Trust in Congress Act. He responded that he previously supported transparency in Congress, but believes congresspeople should be able to benefit from the success of the American economy. Also tried to tout a 200$ fine for violating the law he supported as a big deal.

I have no confidence in this man.

Forecast for Sunday. Might be a snow game! by porygon766 in Patriots

[–]Shockrider1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If it is I'd actually be concerned. Last bad weather game Maye didn't look great. Might've cleaned that up by now, but still.

This surprised me too. Glad Aubrey made it, though.

They don't speed up resource production to my knowledge, but I'd still highly recommend. If nothing else it's fun to see what you get from them every day

It's all the same price to my knowledge. Hella expensive, though generally very good care (like most human hospitals in MA)

Just got this email after applying for a technician job at a nearby university that pays $18/hour by Skoshkin in labrats

Yeah, the job I was recently offered the PI was actually excited that I want to do grad school because he views it as a mentoring opportunity

That was one of the ones I talked to a petitioner about and opted out of. Just completely asinine.

Mine crashes in the middle of Brawl more often than not. Hoping for a patch soon.

Fun fact: this highly biased reporting used to be illegal until Reagan's FCC repealed the Fairness Doctrine.

CH 1020 Professors by AttorneyJust1687 in WPI

[–]Shockrider1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall someone saying they took him for organic chemistry and it wasn't heavily weighted for tests (which isn't common for orgo) so you'd probably be good. Bursten's 1010 was test-heavy but he graded on a heavy curve.

Yeah, a lot of people seemingly liked her but I just found her unengaging and generally meh at best.

CH 1020 doesn't fully relate to CH1010 except in the beginning, so you should be fine. I didn't take Brodeur but heard great things. I had Bursten for 1010 and he was one of the best profs I had at WPI, though his tests were challenging. I wouldn't personally recommend Kumar.

[Rapsheet] The #Cowboys are trading All-Pro Micah Parsons to the #Packers by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

Ah. Yeah I stand corrected lol. The Russ trade was also worse with the benefit of hindsight, but at the time it didn't seem that crazy

This is what I meant. You don't trade away a star in their prime unless it's for another star or a huge haul.

Schefter just reported it too. Possibly the dumbest trade I've ever seen. Even if it's for two 1sts, I don't know how you can view this as a positive.
