There's an old guy who sits at one of the busiest corners in town with multiple Trump flags flying on his wheelchair. He's been there almost every weekend since 2019. -

I know one person who had spent 40+ years thinking one man was their biodad only to DNA test and find that it was another man. -

As the project changed, I didn't think Parrot was able to support its direction.
But these are all views from the outside, not even following closely. I could be very wrong.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

In the current agency, he's not getting enough applicable hours ( he's working up to 60 hours per week, but most of those hours are doing tasks which don't count toward the license ).
Meanwhile, his cousin ( formerly known as #lazyNephew ) was recently fired from his job. Also, his girlfriend broke up with him (but her mom and siblings like him, so he's still welcome to stay with them) and the apartment building has new management which is evicting everyone so they can renovate and raise the rates.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I do remember when when the California State College system became the California State University, they had to do lots of work ... including having a certain number of PhD faculty.
I do know that one company brought in interns from both my CSU campus and its nearby UC (University of California) campus. Originally, the UC student interns were placed in supervisory positions ... the thought being they knew more about business and marketing than the CSU students. After a semester, the roles were switched because the UC students were more focused on research than on practice.
(It was a matter for bragging rights that the business school on our CSU campus was AACSB accredited before the business school on the nearby UC campus, back when it was capped at the top 15% of business schools in the country.)In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The TM claim mentioned above isn't certain to happen, but I think it is very likely.

He says he's been thinking about it ever since.
It wasn't that important. He was a small child. But he says it tipped him to something he wants to have checked sometime.
Now, when I tell the other nephew (ex #lazyNephew) about things he did at that age, he's immediately embarrassed. To which I say things like "Almost every child in the country was wearing Barney underpants at that time." and remind him that there's nothing to be embarrassed about.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

We talked for almost three hours tonight. Lots of stuff going on in his workplace. We also talked about the kids, about things going on in my other nephew's life (just general ... including some things I don't even "officially" know, but I know), about career and life next steps.

There are also two other Caribbean volcanoes with Soufrière in their names.

I don't normally pass the big church that would be most likely to celebrate, so I don't know whether they have the kinds of crowds that the big church had in the city where I lived from ages ~8-15. I know that was a long time ago, but my impression at the time was that you couldn't miss the crowds for "holy days of obligation". In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
