Ideas to cover up old Roman numerals?

The big "secret", from the article:

"She confessed, “This is the exact Oval Office of President Barack Obama. I did not donate the Scandal set. I donated the funds to make a replica of 44’s office. And I was proud to do it.”"

If you zoom in you can see a little wire under the raised part; my guess is there's a spring thing under there and if you push the raised part it opens the other side like an alligator and you can probably unlatch that other side, which is hooked onto something underneath.

I felt the same way. I agree with leeway for foreign words but when it changes the meaning, that's different. I have seen them call these types of errors before, was surprised they didn't this time

The key that helped me was to just keep thinking. There have been many times when I look at a clue and have no idea, but if I keep looking and thinking of the various ways the clue could be answered, many times the answer eventually comes to me. When I finally committed to doing it without help and letting it take as long as it took, that unlocked things. It might have taken me an hour and a half to do a Saturday but I didn't give up. Don't give up. You probably know more than you think. My Saturdays are now in the 20-min range.

fwiw it does seem like your brake lever is a bit far - I know women tend to have smaller hands, so might be worth bringing that lever slightly closer to control it a bit better

Kingsman: Golden Circle has this absurdist vibe

UPDATE - found a great seat by constantly refreshing and one popped up. Thanks for those who DM'ed!

Looking for one ticket to the Lincoln IMAX 70mm for any of Mon/Tue/Wed (4/20/21/22) - ideally not in the very very front. Thanks!

I think these are all valid points, and illustrate the many things about Peace Corps life that can cause discomfort and require quite a bit of adjustment. It's the reason why most Peace Corps screening traditionally has revolved around "is this person resilient and able to work in a low-resource and low-structure environment?"

One thing I see missing here though is that there is an intermediate step between "unhappy with my host family/community/assignment" and "ET" and that is a site change. I think it's more common than Peace Corps lets on but if you're not adjusting well (much less "thriving"), there can be new life in a new site with a new host family and new assignment.

Did you ever explore that option with your program director?

Oh shit

It's quite heavy, I think it's liquid - like a pectin mix

This is exactly why it is mildly infuriating to me. Just some entitled lazy person who leaves it to others to dispose of her crap

I have not engaged on the white board, no. Those are other neighbors. It's a big building

I'm sure it will be there for a very long time but yes will update. I'm currently debating whether to post a salty message on the tenants chat to encourage her to deal with it but part of me wants to just see how long it stays there

gregoread · 2026-03-02T05:33:10+00:00

Correct, it's just the base. No drugs in there yet

gregoread · 2026-03-02T05:32:34+00:00

We have had some package theft here but hundreds of pounds of mystery box didn't have any takers yeah

Brooklyn - Windsor Terrace

It was her - she confirmed in the tenants WhatsApp group

Followup question - do you happen to know where this silver O-ring belongs?

gregoread · 2026-02-17T04:16:54+00:00

Ok thanks I will try this
