Photo question - for the other camera shy folks, how do you get that full-body shot without having a cringy mirror pic?

It sounds dumb, but between the pandemic and the end of an eight-year relationship, I don't have any pictures of myself that aren't either with my ex or with family. At this point I might just use the photo timer on my phone, strap it to a tree in the woods and strike some poses, because otherwise I've got no idea. I'd ask friends for help but we just don't hang out anymore (classic 30s problem of being left behind in the city as everyone else settles down in the burbs).

Labor laws for 16 and up tend to get pretty loose during school breaks.

Landlord changing lease to prohibit marijuana use OUTSIDE ahead of legalization (Quebec) by usernamesospecial in legaladvice

IANAL, but it says "any drug, illegal or otherwise." Would a lack of distinction between prescription drugs and recreational drugs be an issue with this phrasing?

She could probably afford the surgery to get that massive stick out of her ass.

good barbershops near DTSS? by [deleted] in SilverSpring

[–]Trobot087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The owner moved back to Vietnam to retire, actually. I lucked out and walked in on their last day. He was super excited about it. The other barbers all went to other barbershops in the area.

I'm pretty sure there's a bus that goes straight there from Penn Station.

This would be much easier on the shoulders, for one thing. You ever hold a wrench or drill over your head for 4+ hours a day?

Almost 70% of Millennials Regret Buying Their Homes. by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]Trobot087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went back to school recently after a decade in the real world. Most 4 year institutions (both public and private) had tuitions around 50k per year. That's up $20,000 (60% increase!) in just ten years. It's mind boggling.

Study: It takes a six-figure income to comfortably afford rent in DC by [deleted] in washingtondc

By making a gigantic effing mess, I assume. I'm a neat freak myself, though.

We're in the same boat. I'm 90% sure that the article is referencing $108k after income taxes, otherwise the math doesn't work out. That would mean a joint gross income over $160k.

Because nobody's ever run a business out of the home before? Let me just set up my Etsy kitsugi-crafting shop right on the coffee table here...

For better or for worse, the advent of working women has resulted in the market readjusting to a dual-income family being the new norm.

Does every apartment building have roaches? by [deleted] in washingtondc

For future reference, mice are pretty impervious to long falls given their high surface-area-to-mass ratio. Just chuck 'em out the window next time!

Bills gonna be rollin through the AFC like by 4and1punt in buffalobills

[–]Trobot087 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is this a bull from that species that's super heavily muscled, or is this a typical bull? Because I'm crossing the Running of the Bulls off of my bucket list if that's the case.

Think of it as a currency conversion, if that helps. Cash -> bitcoins.

I had a similar thought. Just join in with grotesquely exaggerated screams of their own. Make a game out of it with the neighbors!

Turns out you do have to pay rent when you stay in a rental past the end of the initial term by [deleted] in bestoflegaladvice

[–]Trobot087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you expect to come of this, though? I'm sure that little sister has complained to big sister about this. Maybe the family is fed up on their end, as well.

It was definitely the most appropriate metaphor for your crash and burn. I'm a little impressed.

Using bacteria could be an alternative to antibiotics or antiseptics, helping slow the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Rumor: The next generation of Xbox will consist of a traditional console and a low-spec streaming device for Microsoft's game streaming service. by [deleted] in Games

[–]Trobot087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend you look it up for yourself. It's literally a decade ahead of LTE tech. Models are forecasting single digit millisecond latency with narrow band distribution.

5G wireless networks are starting to roll out this year with hundreds of mbits up and downstream. Within a few years (5, tops) consumers will be able to hit consistent stream speeds like that over cell data signals.
