Ah. I did not know they came small enough for museum heists, that would be very little!

Meg @marbenais.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t know exactly how tiny you need but I highly recommend any of the Ryobi 40V power tools. I have the 14” chainsaw because it’s big enough for small tree limbs but small enough for my short arms.

I know taking antihistamines helps, but it also seems to be just luck based on our household.
Fans, windows, change or wash the filters for everything you can (not sure what your building lets you access). Aerosols can linger for hours/days in a closed space but good airflow can clear them out!

Meg @marbenais.bsky.social · 4d

If you kick the ball hard enough and it goes within the frame, the keeper can’t stop it even if they get hurt trying. Boot it and score!

Meg @marbenais.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah, I was wondering how that got on the field. Even in stoppage time it’s weird.

Meg @marbenais.bsky.social · 4d

I just really want to know why their keeper is allowed to hold the ball out of the box every time she comes here. We’re close to the 18, we can tell when the ball is over the line even if one of her feet is still on it.

Also today’s edition of “it’s always SOMETHING at security” was explaining what applicator-less tampons are to the female agent. Yes, they’re real tampons. Yes, they’re little. That’s the point of having them in the game bag. To be small.

If you are wearing DC United jerseys AND unsure how to order the pupusas, I’m confused.

If you’re new to women’s soccer—or just new to the growing ranks of Spirit fans—here’s what to know before buying tickets or grabbing a pint to watch the game at a local bar alongside the diehards.

I would like someone to ask who is actually hosting/running/paying for Audi for these games, because it’s ridiculously constrained - only one food vendor (albeit at multiple stands, at least), bathrooms locked even in the small open concourse area, etc. - plus very little marketing to sell tickets.

Go back and read the whole thread! but if you lived in the DC area 25 years ago and/or are a member of a three-letter agency, that’s the part where Robert Hanssen rings a bell.

Wealthy Opus Dei lay members (usually but not always from the US) donate to the society instead of to the wider church, and that money gets used by the clergy and administrators to recruit more laypeople to exploit worldwide via coercive charity programs.

Having worked several customer-facing jobs, no, the general public does not read signs. At all. Not the sign that says a register/window is closed, not the sign that says something is sold out, not the sign that says “wet floor” in front of a bucket under a leaking ceiling, not ANYTHING.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Even more DC police than National Guards around Audi Field and yet no traffic direction/control? What are they doing this whole time?

We are entirely serious here, by the way, as they’re going to close my campus and six others while one year of his salary could fund the to-be-killed campuses for several years. His payout could operate every single Commonwealth Campus for years.

Ash C @ash12.bsky.social · 18d

Fire Franklin for cause and use his salary to keep the Commonwealth campuses open.
