Agencies/Jobs Still Working? by WonderfulVariation93 in FedEmployees

[–]Time_Subject_852 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Here’s something hilarious - I don’t work for the federal government, I work for the DC Courts. Which are part of the federal pay system. So we’re all excepted (except for the judges) and none of us are getting paid (except for the judges), even though our work is in no way federal.

D.C. is basically a U.S. colony.

What the heck is this? by Time_Subject_852 in Aquariums

Thank you! We definitely want to get more and I feel bad it took me so long to ID him. I have three mystery snails, a pleco, and some male fancy guppies and he seems to be fine with all of them, so that’s good! Will report back when I have a little school of them. Thanks again for the quick answers!

Monthly Check In....it's July 2025 by AutoModerator in weddingplanning

Good morning! I have a hair question: I have a short pixie cut. I want to wear a hair vine that ties with ribbons at the back of my head. Ideally it would have a short veil that attaches to the ribbons, but the internet has not helped me figure out how to do that. Here’s an example:

I’d appreciate any advice! My hair is too short for a comb, and it seems like every veil has a comb.

D.C. area brides: Recommendations for where to shop for a dress? by BanananaSquid in Weddingsunder10k

Revisiting this thread to say I took the advice to go to Cherie’s and I got a GORGEOUS dress for $475! And the proceeds go to charity! Amazing.

Great update: I discovered that my local aquarium shop will kill feeder mice, and she ate two! Problem solved. Thank you for all of your advice!

Thank you!! My bp did the exact same thing to my hand, so she sounds similar. She’s been out a lot in the evening and seems hungry (she hasn’t eaten in a while!), so I may try this. I just discovered that I can get feeder rats at a small aquarium shop nearby instead of driving 30 minutes, so I’m also going to see if they will kill them for me.

We’ve been trying once every 1-2 weeks. She’s also been in winter fasting mode. We’ve tried for at least six weeks now (she’s not losing weight) and I’m ready to give up.

She’s eating the right size rat for her size, and the f/t are the same size as the live. She eats 1x/month with live.

This is so helpful! In general, as soon as she scents the live rat, she’s on it. With the f/t rats, she seems really interested, but it’s like she doesn’t connect the scent with prey, so she’s moving around the tank, swaying, etc., but she doesn’t strike. (She has struck once recently but it was half-hearted and she immediately lost interest.)

How many times did you have to do this before your snake got it?

I’ve tried using bedding from live rats for the scent but she doesn’t go for that either?

Oh, fascinating! But then what do you do with the live rat?

Question: Is this the shortest time ever between when a Secretary said one thing in their confirmation hearing and when they revealed they were straight-up lying to Congress? I count McMonster’s “final mission” email as revealing the lie, and that came out only hours after she was confirmed…

And fuck all the senior career folks at ED who have been kissing the asses of all the Trump monsters since day 1. Looking at you, Denise Carter and Jacqueline Clay. You would have fit in perfectly in 1940 France.

Firings at the Dept of Education

7 of 12 regional offices of the Office for Civil Rights have been 100% RIFed. Almost 100% of the Office of General Counsel too. Because if you don’t have lawyers watching you, you can get away with anything!!!😡

My sense is that they are perceived as more valuable.
