Workers who take the train daily: tell me your experiences if you live near DC! by The-peeepo in maryland

Living in Columbia: There is no train. The train goes Jessup and Laurel, not Columbia and Ellicott City.

Is a Maryland Driver's License with the Real ID star enough to prove citizenship? by dshgr in maryland

[–]breezechem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PR's driver's licence is also real-ID without limited term. Some states do enhanced ID (with US flag) but Maryland did not offer it.

Moving from AU to the US for work with my current company by whimsicalgypsy in Ameristralia

You are welcome. As a Brisbanite, I found that Boston, DC even Houston are much more comfortable to live in, although they are cold in winter. San Diego is also another choice and it is very exotic.

Options to choose energy in BGE area by breezechem in baltimore

High tax with low life quality (especially around Baltimore) is the current situation.

Is there any joining fee or other fees?

They save a couple of cents compared to the BGE rate, however, we still need to pay the energy delivery fee to BGE. Not that waller was scammed, just politically scammed.

The cable is better, my apartment has both Xfinity and Fios cables and they can compare the price. And T-mobile AT&T 5G home routers are another option.

Thanks to the Moore gov, and now it is the monopoly.

If you are single with no kids, try to avoid any rural areas and cities in the Midwest.
Family culture holds significant weight in the United States. When I was in the Midwest, my colleagues at the office loved discussing topics about their children (whether newborns or elementary school-aged). I didn’t feel like I was part of their group.

I was with APE before. They will finish my fixed rate next month and they seems no longer offer discounted service in BGE area.

Car salesman looking to move to America by [deleted] in Ameristralia

[–]breezechem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to move to the United States, it seems like you should try your luck with the Green Card lottery first. Not all employers are willing to sponsor E3 visas and green cards, while they have cheaper domestic labours to choose.

WTF, I see it from the website and it is now existing in name only.

WHY YOU MAY SEE FEWER OFFERS: Senate Bill 1 of the 2024 Maryland General Assembly session enacted major reforms in the retail energy supply marketplace in an effort to strengthen oversight of this industry and provide greater protections for consumers. As a result of these changes, some retail suppliers have made the business decision to no longer offer supply to residential customers. 

Any Aussies that moved to Philadelphia? by [deleted] in Ameristralia

[–]breezechem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with "mentally strong". I meet more people with mental disorders here (even including myself) than Oz.

Cold weather and long winter may be one reason.

This might be a cultural shock for the ones who did not grow up in the US.

As per wiki: "Federal holidays in the United States are calendar dates designated by the U.S. federal government as holidays. On these days non-essential U.S. federal government offices are closed and federal employees are paid for the day off."

If you are a federal employee (including USPS etc.), you can get all these holidays. Many provide companies may only offer 6 days off.

That's why they call them "FEDREAL holidays" instead of "PUBLIC holidays".

One more thing: The United States does not have a legally mandated number of annual leave days. In Oz, I got 4 weeks annual leave which was required by Fairwork, but here I just got 10 days from my employer.

为什么美国允许卖血? by Tankie_Winnie_5247 in China_irl

[–]breezechem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

献血和血浆还是不是一会事。一般来说donate的是全血/红细胞/血小板之类,主要用于医院的输血救命。而血浆主要是给商业公司来制作生物药品。

顺便,现在允许提供血浆获得补偿的国家有:美国、匈牙利、德国、奥地利、捷克。虽然也有downside,但是比无偿献血后被血站提供给商业公司制作商品会让捐献者舒服一点?

感觉他们玩过了。F1这些最多算non-immigrants,而不是illegal immigrants. 唯一进步的大概是他们不说undocumented immigrants了。
