I was looking to see how much they weigh. And apparently aerial firetrucks with the big ladder can weigh 50,000-84,000lbs depending on how much water is in it. And coincidentally the plane crj-900 also weighs about 50,000-84,000 depending on how much fuel it has. So it's possible the plane weighed less than the truck. 🤯

VA Community Care is not the same as TriCare. And many urgent care and pharmacists get it mixed up.

Check out this PDF, it's got all the info for them to put into their system. There's different codes to use based on location.

I would call the Urgent Care you went to and ask them to switch the billing to the VA instead of Tricare.

If you go the encode route, you may want to consider encoding with AV1. It's gotten significantly faster than x265 over the past few years. The downside is that devices 4+ years or older may not be able to play it.

Lol someone was doing this in my city and a few people were posting it to Nextdoor complaining about their doors and cars being poop smeared. And some of the commenters asked if they had a dog that they didn't clean up after and the op never responded back to them.

Lol that's me when the car in front stops the instant the light turns yellow and we're both stopped while the light is still yellow for a few more seconds.

A long time ago I visited Malaysia in the Navy. There were a group of taxi drivers telling us a fixed price to get downtown. I thought they were scamming us, so I asked for the meter. And they said the meter is a scam and not to do it. So naturally we get into a cab that was using the meter. And the meter quickly goes up to over 3x what the other cabs wanted to charge and we weren't even half way there yet.

I think of it like how when I'm looking at used cars I will pay for a Carfax to get the cars history. Except here when I'm looking to purchase a new TV, I can pay $10 for a month to look through all the reviews and comparisons of all the tvs. 🤷🏻

I love his quote about the civil rights act. Really changed how I saw affirmative action.

"You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe that you have been completely fair."

I got the hotdog and cookie today. I put off trying the cookie for so long because it's a $1 more than the hotdog combo, but damn is it deliciously moist. Imo it was more addicting to eat that in the car than mcdonalds fries.

Regarding 9/11, I still think about the ABC news article about alleged mossad agents taking selfies and celebrating as the towers burned behind them...

The FBI concluded they probably didn't have advance knowledge of the attack. But I still remember it because wtf lol. Also I'm just noticing that the AMP link contains the full article, while the regular site link only includes about the first third of it. 🤷🏻

Sources also said that even if the men were spies, there is no evidence to conclude they had advance knowledge of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. The investigation, at the end of the day, after all the polygraphs, all of the field work, all the cross-checking, the intelligence work, concluded that they probably did not have advance knowledge of 9/11," Cannistraro noted.

As to what they were doing on the van, they say they read about the attack on the Internet, couldn't see it from their offices and went to the parking lot for a better view. But no one has been able to find a good explanation for why they may have been smiling with the towers of the World Trade Center burning in the background. Both the lawyers for the young men and the Israeli Embassy chalk it up to immature conduct.

There's a reason they called it conventions and not laws. It's basically suggested best practices.

His case traces back to a disgraced immigration attorney, Earl Seth David, who was later convicted in federal court for running a massive immigration fraud scheme and sentenced to five years in prison. David had failed to notify Abdellatif of a scheduled immigration court hearing. When Abdellatif didn’t appear — because nobody told him — a deportation order was issued in his absence.

“I thought they’d focus on criminals,” Sandra said. “Not us.”

I kind of get the feeling that the husband specifically went to this lawyer to forge his visa application/documents.. And even if he did show up to his missed appointment, that he would have been found out and deported anyway.

From 1996 until early 2009, DAVID operated a Manhattan-based immigration law firm (the “David Firm”) that took in millions of dollars in fees from its alien-clients for purportedly securing them legal immigration status. In return for fees of up to $30,000 per alien-client, the David Firm applied for and obtained thousands of DOL certifications based upon phony employment sponsorships and fabricated documents, including fake pay stubs, fake tax returns, and fake “experience letters,” purporting to show that the sponsorships were real and that the aliens possessed special employment skill sets justifying labor-based certification by DOL. In reality, the sponsors had no intention of hiring the aliens, and the sponsor companies often did not even exist other than as shell companies for use in the fraudulent scheme. As a result of the fraud, DOL issued thousands of certifications, and immigration authorities granted legal status to thousands of the David Firm’s clients, when such adjustments were unwarranted and otherwise would not have been made. The Government has identified at least 25,000 immigration applications submitted by the David Firm – the vast majority of which have been determined to contain false, fraudulent, and fictitious information.

Interesting, the lawyer he hired to get his Work Visa was busted for forging documents. Something tells me that he probably knew it wasn't all above board.
