As the woman who runs point on one of our contracts says "I like working with manufacturing people again, people don't hold back. But they also find incredibly round about ways to say absolutely fucking not when management is on the line"

Of course it's sunny and pleasant now. Oh DC...

"Oh you should be doing that in the cloud" Right now I'm barely hanging on enough to do the basics of maintaining a polite grimace, dial it back.

A VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) carries around 2 million barrels of oil. A large tanker truck can carry about 250 barrels. That makes 8,000 trucks to fill a VLCC, which is on the small end of the oil tanker hierarchy.

I too would probably only rank one because I hate the rest. It's not a misunderstanding.

Who is confused?! Everyone ranks things every single goddamn day. If you can't figure it out maybe you shouldn't be voting, like the voters of Florida in 2000.

Sort of true in practice but again the failure to go after vacant (so you have to actually lease it so it's not sitting there for years empty) or blighted puts higher costs on everyone else. Also appraisers almost never reduce an appraised amount, it ticks up and is impossible to appeal.

I assume it means nothing at all because he's incompetent and desperately looking for something to run on. DC OTR is v bad at actually going after vacant and blighted property and that drives significant issues in neighborhood liveability (and rodent harborage) and getting them taxed correctly.

Dropping all pretense about my imminent layoff and just shooting my shot with contacts for the niche nonsense I've implemented.

Got pelted with sleet at Union Station. Not a fan!

Please stop trying to One Simple Trick foreign affairs, you're not going to succeed.

The number of people who should have imposter syndrome but don't and just leak their thoughts on here remains a lot.

Saw a local DC KNOWER acct think this was serious and yikes. There's already a pipeline across KSA and it doesn't have the kind of capacity necessary. Also the idea of allowing KSA to control exports from the other GCCs is absolutely wild. It's not like there was a long running blockade vs Qatar.

He's coming for Vinnie Citrus' voters. They're going to split that cohort.

Really WMATA, 10 minute headways on the red line at what is still rush hour nowadays.

It will never not be funny Meira Omar rhymed Ramadan into a sexy pop track during Ramadan.

Having already shrunk my resume to 4 pages while still meeting the fact that it's a legal document for federal applications I'm now going to shrink that in half for the current rules and there's no way this meets the regs. Although I'm probably going to try for the private sector first.

How I feel when someone blocks me

You know what fine, I'll use the idiot box to refine my resume.

I think I'm making my way through the various stages of RIF but there's definitely occasional backsliding.

Mcduffster and Vinnie Citrus will split the old line vote (and lots of corruption) and JLG is doing changey but having no platform and taken no interest in the vast majority of issues before running for mayor, which at this point is a DC tradition for that kind of candidate. I dunno, Goodweather?

It's hard to pick either of them. Wishing Christina Henderson was running.

I, personally, would not install my nuclear refinement center next to the holiest shrines of Christendom and then whine about the frescos shaking in the Sistine Chapel.

"I don't know how he keeps going" Me, a person also fueled by spite "I know"

Shout out to the woman in health care attire trying to push past a super young mom with 5 kids on a Metro escalator. You have to know that's not going to happen right? There's a kid in a stroller precariously balanced in front of her and 4 kids scrambling all over the left side.

Squeezing in all my medical shit while I still have my own plan plan is going swimmingly.

So he guesses your shoe size and you're condemned to walk in shoes that don't fit? Sounds like a Grimm fairytale.

Even 3 beers in on two donuts I managed to coherently plan meeting up on Friday.

A naked man is serial breaking into houses? Man why is DC this way.

If I'm punchy today it's because the scared of everything cat decided to whack my ankle with all his claws while I slept.

??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury

Yes, I do think it's both dishonest and disgusting for you to try to use abuse as a rubric for public policy choices you don't like. It's giving Rachel Dolezal.

White leftists remain incorrigible. Using people's full government name is ick.

"Everything is abuse" Please get help. Seriously. And as for why she was in office, it's called democracy. Die mad about it.

I don't actually want another round of those people playing at "woke" because it's their fault it was so poorly implemented last time.

The more psychotic takes I see from AO3 women the more I'm all in on gay bars playing hard core porn. No one wants your "woke" tryhard shit interfering with fun.

You lose all your FSA dollars when you leave, it's all pre funded by the employer so I'm going all out on glasses.

It would probably speed up the bus a lot and I'd take that even if it means a drop off in spend from Maryland drivers.

It's time for progressives. They're just the most logical step.

Just like she refuses to work for reciprocity with tickets because she's Maryland's mayor not ours.

She's endorsing Vinnie Citrus.

British people who love the word queer keep voting for Labour is apparently still a thing.

This site will end up teaching a lot of people that their friends supposedly cute and harmless political alignments are actually dangerous.
