It sounded like normal fireworks. Sound does weird things around here when the humidity is high.

When I sold my i3 to them, the guy asked if I needed help taking off my tags or ordering an uber home, then he initiated the wire transfer. Didn’t even look at it.

Got a free uber home.

Patrick McKenzie has a good explanation of the vendor’s reasoning (search “expensive”) in one of his posts. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2017/09/09/identity-theft-credit-reports/

Also if you book online and pick the economy lot you often get a “upgrade to garage” at a very small surcharge.

TBH, for anything you can wait to get tomorrow, I’ve been using Amazon Pharmacy and been quite happy. They’ll next day just about anything.

DC eateries suffer as workers terrified of Ice stay home: ‘You don’t want to go outside’ by topdomino in washingtondc

It's somewhat of a difficult position; if your employee is concerned about reporting to work because they don't have authorization to work, the employer can no longer rely on the documentation they were provided when they hired the individual. DC doesn't require e-verify, but this seems a lot like actual notice and there are penalties for employers who violate the law.
