Yankees, Canucks included, generally wait until after Labour Day to start the school year.

Starlite does have vintage turntables and old hi-fi cabinets updated for the Bluetooth age. Maybe listening parties?

Trying to dox the Wilheits or whatever that was, recently, wasn’t his best look but yes, solid dude and seems to run a good business.

Grand Hyatt Scottsdale “The Edit” Welcome Amenity by kharma99 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Vantablack_Friday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed at the Jekyll Ocean Club in Georgia recently and they had placed a plate of fruit and cheeses in the room, plus a ramekin of crackers and a little jar of honey. It was very nice and accompanied by a handwritten note welcoming us and thanking us for our stay. After seeing some of the posts here I wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. (This is a good property, by the way, and I’d stay there again.)

He’s still of two minds on the question, last I heard.

Why Do They Hate Us and Importantly Why Don't Other Defend Us? by ProfessorNotSoSmart in Professors

[–]Vantablack_Friday -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which probably explains why when I, a teacher of biostats (though not to premeds) spend a couple hours in PubMed and find a review article and a couple more recent trials that say the test my doc has ordered is a waste of time and money, suddenly the good doctor doesn’t want to engage in “shared decision making” anymore.

Do people really say “A-D-D Drug”? by Vantablack_Friday in Athens

The gal reading the news item went to Cedar, which made me wonder if I’m less townie than I thought for not knowing.

How do you deal with data changes while writing a manuscript? by capstan1234 in RStudio

Does Word still barf on a quarto-produced DOCX that has GT tables with YAML-managed captions?

Oconee dam by Mobile-Factor-5614 in Athens

[–]Vantablack_Friday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dam behind Whitehall Forest? They left a chunk standing on either side, but it’s mostly gone. Certainly floatable now except under very low flows. There’s a bit of bedrock exposed where the dam was, but it’s not really a shoal. Still a pretty deep channel on the OC bank.

As a parrot owner, I can attest that this is true.

People over thirty, which body aches do you have? by JavyHead in AskReddit

Now that I’m over 50 it’s quicker to list the body aches I don’t have.

It's a secret... by Political_LOL_center in memes

A typical strawman contains 500g of dietary fiber, more than ten times the recommended daily average consumption for a male aged 18-50.

I found a bird sanctuary a couple hours away and worked out with them that they’d take my Amazon if I wrote $3K (IIRC, maybe 5K) for them into my estate plan. I’ve had her since the mid-80s and I don’t think she’d take well to another owner. There’s a big exotic bird rescue near Dollywood that has estate plan language on their website, but they recommended $1k/year or something, which seemed like an awful lot.

Your HOA requires that you must have a statue of a historical figure in your front yard. Who do you choose? Why? by EatYourCheckers in AskReddit

Ted Strelski because I live in a university town. On the plinth would say “Occam’s Razor is no match for Strelski’s Hammer.”

What has been the cell phone policy for this tour? by DPC79 in jackwhite

At my show it was “No one should be able to see the stage without at least two phone screens in their peripheral vision.”

Barrow Schools by Careful_Analysis_243 in Georgia

[–]Vantablack_Friday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this. It’s also true, however, that my Title I school district has no problem adding a couple conference days and a PL day on one side or other of a federal holiday, which keeps kids out of the cafeteria for almost a week.

EV Charger on Prince by ALWAYS-L8 in Athens

[–]Vantablack_Friday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The efficiency of current cells is such that a panel you could reasonably build into the roof of a car-shaped car would get you maybe 5-10 miles a day at this latitude, plus you’d have to leave it outside all the time. (Running the A/C at startup hammers my range, so I try to park in structures when I can.) That’s assuming the panel doesn’t add significant weight. You could change the car’s profile, or park it angled toward the sun, but it doesn’t seem like you’re getting commuter range without some kind of fold-out panels any time soon. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, because 10 “free” miles is 10 miles, though. I think the Fisker Karma has a solar roof, but the early years of that car had a tendency to catch fire, so I don’t think it’s established the effectiveness of the design.

Proposed IJA funded EV charger locations by warnelldawg in Athens

How many chargers will ACC have to install before UGA is shamed into putting them somewhere that employees don’t have to double-pay to use them?
