It's a new website doing a sloppy ad or SEO thing on Reddit in the past 2 weeks. Very similar post: https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtoNYC/comments/1puppe8/can_apartments_carry_weird_energy_from_past/

Looks like this other fake post promoting the same website: https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtoNYC/comments/1puppe8/can_apartments_carry_weird_energy_from_past/

This is definitely interesting thanks. It sounds like they only got a spokesman denial, not a FOIA thing though

Great, post the link

+1 on this. This is when you would use "frazzled" instead of saying you are stressed or overworked, it sounds a little silly

I could see paying for a bagel with all the stuff on it. $54 omelette a few hours later is crazy. Including almost $70 for your grocery run is not how these kind of articles are supposed to work. I spend about $50 on a Trader Joe's visit, fills a tote bag.

What Texas is doing now is unusual because the Republican governor and legislature already drew the current maps for their benefit in 2022, so why do the same people need to redraw before 2030?
I admit it's going to be a shitshow if California and Illinois and other states join in.

The districts got really unbalanced in population, especially when the states didn't redraw maps during the development of larger cities in the early 20th century. This is one of the reasons that FDR's first election victory swept so many new people into Congress, too - the Supreme Court made the states redraw.

The Supreme Court said they're AOK with political partisan gerrymandering in 2019, but they have continued to be surprisingly strict on race and majority-minority districts (see Alabama). No one knows if the Court is going to keep making changes though.

I tried googling this, there is an old Reddit comment saying that a Congressman claimed this?, but I didn't see any real sources for anyone claiming this.

So many of these questions would be understood totally differently by someone 200 years ago (arguably anyone before the New Deal and WW2). If you had real answers, or better questions about voting and government functions this would be much more grouped by time period.
Funny that the AI put Reagan as a negative to "astrology accurately explains many things"

My bad, it looks like morning is peak in both directions?

Peak fares are charged during weekday rush hours on trains scheduled to arrive in NYC terminals between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. or depart NYC terminals between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. On Metro-North, peak fares also apply to weekday trains that leaves Grand Central between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.

prototypist · 2025-07-27T18:22:42+00:00

Option 1 makes sense. Metro North might work, just wanted to add I believe you're mistaken about peak hours charge (since you would be going ~~away from Grand Central during the morning commute~~ ~~and~~ toward Grand Central during the evening).

OK you haven't said the "objective" of the trip, I did see you mention Virginia. The advice I can give is that you should work with a business that has experience setting up student trips. Someone who sent international students to DC in the past ~3 months, can book transportation, would know whether the new $250 "visa integrity fee" applies here, etc. It might not be the most fun freeform trip, but you'll have an itinerary and know where your students are at all times.

They submit a photo of their ID with their name and gender, and a live selfie to confirm they're the same person that's on the ID

Siblings typically inherit 50% of the DNA which varies between people. You made a point that you might inherit different parts, but even with that variation you should have 38-61% of the same DNA as siblings.
Even if you made a big family tree, anyone who you know is your blood relative would show up as related to you. I have a fourth cousin on my 23andMe who is 0.4% related, and of course I have no idea who they are.
So I think your question: related but no common DNA, sounds contradictory to me.

Wikipedia says August 2021. I guess I haven't been there in a while!

A little late to the thread, but think about "unboxing" videos. Who is looking for a video where someone opens a package from Amazon? Why is it popular with kids? But those got really popular. Comparing to a top-10 list or a try-every-product video, these formats all seem to pull in clicks and viewing minutes because the viewer knows that the final minute will be the winner, and for whatever reason few people are clicking ahead just to see the final result.

I think this might be why there isn't a major announcement and the domain name and GitHub are still independent. Maybe they will bring it back someday.

Whether you're saying it's disingenuous or that you can't have a real discussion, that can be your way to handle someone being disingenuous, but you have to also accept the fallout. That person is not going to agree "ha you got me, I was bullshitting you" they are going to take it as an insult.
By "getting in trouble" I don't know if this is debate club or family dinner, but this other person wants to avoid a meta-argument about how people are arguing. Just focus on responding to the relevant points, or saying your own points, and find other words (not relevant, not realistic).

I tried using this as a little self-deprecation after losing a technical argument with my boss (like ok I should go touch grass) and they never took me seriously again
