Almost no one does hair follicle tests and for urine tests, the chances for a positive after a month are very very low. After like 7-10 days, most people have a better than 50-50 chance of passing.

Reply to comment by nikedude in Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123
This is IMO far and away the biggest challenge to grow the company. I worked remotely for the first year for them and very nearly did not move out when they asked me to. It was a real struggle to find a house within an hour commute of work on the salary I make. Virtually all of my co-workers are single people with roommates living in norwalk.

Jack Kevorkian was ostracized. Turns out he was right the whole time.

I'm an Engineer at ASML, you guys would not believe the technology this place is moving forward. Feels like working on the freaking USS Enterprise.

Thank you for your response! I was a pretty heavy smoker, and i’ve been told it could take up to 60-90 days for it to be completely out of my system so i’ve been worried!

Calling in sick is a firable offense.

I can imagine some conditions that might be excruciating for me: being quadriplegic AND very sick for a long time. Being in end stage Lou Gehrig for a seemingly interminable amount of time , totally paralyzed from a stroke with no rehab or activity and sick on top of that with cancer or something. Most of what I can imagine being terrifying for me are conditions that are very prolonged where I am both ill and helpless. But I don’t think this law should pass

The groups of prints seem far apart for a rabbit. I say deer.

You'd have to just stop voting. Our laws allow companies to buy politicians.

Certainly see a lot of throwaway accounts here looking to scam people out of money and time. I'm sorry. I don't buy your story at all because you've spent the entire time pulling on heart strings and almost zero about what you have actually done. Did you call 211? Did you call family? Did you knock on the door of a shelter? Did you get a gym membership (showers). What did you do? Nothing. Because this story is fake and this is a scam.

Done well there are few conditions that can’t find comfort in dying. My mother passed peacefully of cancer with an opioid drip. I’ve had major, invasive surgery with no post op pain at all, none. I don’t think this will end well.

If you stopped a month ago, you should be perfectly fine. Don't worry about it beyond that.

Tell her to apply at post office. Mail carriers start around 19 per hour and usps is unionized.

Yeah, I dunno why OP is starting now, maybe he has a greenhouse? Maybe he's planting an odd variety not found as plants around here? Gotta ask him. I've always started taters directly in ground. I love straw for moisture retention back off weeds, and fork back in come fall

Reply to T mobile coverage in CT by Bagelstoss
It's been a couple-few years, so my opinion may not be very relevant anymore, but I had a poor experience with T-mobile/Sprint on both networks. Signal was too weak to even make calls in a number of locations. I feel like out of the two when I had both around the same time, the Sprint network was worse, but that network is basically gone at this point post-merger. It did improve quite a bit leading up to the shutdown though in terms of coverage, but still a bit slow. T-mobile still has 2G up and running apparently for another year, I guess to fill in the gaps.

Yea that’s mortgage, taxes, insurance. We’re definitely living well within our means. We both drive cars that are 8-10 years old and are paid off. We’re at like 10% gross income for mortgage.

Connecticut voters will happily hop and skip to their legislators to show their support for this law, forgetting, as always, a seemingly enlightened idea is never implemented consistently and will only be as humane and enlightened as the people involved in caring for someone terminally ill. Reality should always be considered when we do this stuff.

Connecticut has a great wine trail. You can sign up for a bus that will take you to a few wineries and then bring you back. The wine isn't great, but trying the different types can be fun and the views are great. A lot of vineyards have cozy little tasting areas, and others have picnic tables with expansive views of the state. Pack a lunch and cheese and crackers and have nice day.

Seeing as I'm in the CT subreddit, I think it's safe to say that I live in CT and not CA.

Download the T-Mobile app on your phone and you can get a digital sim from them for 3 months so you can test out their service.

Thanks - I figured that as $3400/mo seemed heavy for just a mortgage payment in Woodbridge

I'm going to go verbatim with the previous poster. The only reason I am even replying is that that as more and more people see this, and in case his post gets pushed down, there will now be 2 of the same posts that call out your bullshit scam.
Heres his reply, consider it mine as well (but stolen from him)
