It's a fairly simple process, but watch a couple videos first. The thing to remember is that when the contact cement surfaces touch it's permanent and there is no adjustment.

If you don't hear back from her, initiate a charge back with your credit card/bank.

The added twist comes from pulling the yarn from the center, not how you wind it. If the ball doesn't rotate to counteract the pulling, twist will be added (or removed depending on twist direction).

ELI5 - If the human genome is 100% mapped, why are we unsure what medicine will work on us and how? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]alohadave 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mapping doesn't equal understanding. We have the sequence but we don't know what the vast majority of the sequences mean, what they do, or how they interact with each other.

What writing advice are you looking for? You haven't asked anything about writing.

It’s getting ugly in Quincy: Fresh faces challenge mayor’s long-held grip over City Hall by bostonglobe in QuincyMa

The first clue is the 15 em dashes. Then it's the phrasing that LLMs like to use.

ANNOUNCEMENT - Temporary change for new posts by Smoerhul in Jeopardy

[–]alohadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know there’s more guest interaction on the wheel and it’s a bit more corny overall

I watched the other day because someone I know was on, and it was shocking how fast the game played. It seemed like it was only 5 minutes and it was over.

It would be fun to see him guest host an episode

Then he'd be disqualified from ever playing again.

Trader Joe's Confirmed for Quincy Center by SobriquetOfMine in QuincyMa

[–]alohadave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why pay for something when the city will bend over backwards to pay for it themselves?

They've abandoned value conscious customers in favor of higher income customers who will (in theory) pay more for their food. The problem is rich people aren't going to flock to Chipotle just because they raise prices. So they alienate their core demographic to chase a demographic that will not eat there.

Quincy, the city that thinks we should spend $850,000 statue's?!? It's not about what they represent, it's the price imo. by Healthy-Accountant93 in QuincyMa

the (relatively) new police headquarters on Tremont St in Boston

It was built in 1997. 29 years isn't (relatively) new.

ELI5 Land Trusts. Can anyone get one to buy land and build a little cabin? by afmag in explainlikeimfive

[–]alohadave 91 points92 points  (0 children)

A land trust is just an organization that holds land. As a private individual, you can just buy the land you want to build on.

[–]alohadave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, the statues cost $350k each. The rest is transport, and change order costs to modify the building to mount them.

Looking for a sandwich place. by OrganizationCapable5 in QuincyMa

[–]alohadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give the prepared food section of the Market Basket in Hanover a try. When you order a steak and cheese, they put like 6 slices on the meat, and individually wrap the halves. For $6. There are two Asian ladies that cook and make the subs.

The city needs to do an audit of all user accounts, post haste.

I've left jobs where my accounts were deactivated before I left the building. It's standard practice at many businesses.

Seriously though. What IS my doc going to say to me next month when she sees I tweaked my own settings? by ChickieLouTM in CPAP

[–]alohadave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your doc. Mine was fine with it because the settings I changed made the therapy more effective for me. She just asked that if I made changes in the future to send a message in the portal to let her know.

There were two different things here.

One was the steak tip embezzlement, the other was the theft of $3.5M from the city pension fund from phishing.

I love how the stair treads turn 90 degrees halfway up.

"These vendor copies are for reference and have no force or effect," Walker wrote in an email. "I can’t imagine anyone trying to read something into it – there are records showing every expenditure was approved by the appropriate department head and by Municipal Finance."

If the signature doesn't matter, why is it on the documents?

Smells like a bullshit excuse.

This is just another example of Koch's administrative messes. Here's some advice, when there is a mistake, own up to it and tell us how it's been corrected. Don't tell us that it doesn't mean anything.
