my boss hired hellotech and they did a great job on her house

I mean, man you slip me a couple hundred and pay for the equipment and I'll come get your wifi set up for you. But it'll literally just be me buying a mesh system I don't have to host and running a few hundred feet of ethernet.

EDIT: Also I don't provide support because that's a lifetime of hell in front of me.

Sorry, I must have missed that part of the Constitution that said "ACSHULLY ur crime rate has to be super low to be a state." Can you point me to that Article and Section?

Additionally, your (shitty) Google search shows that New Mexico and Louisiana are around 6400 annual crimes per capita. What is the threshold when states have their statehood called into question? Is it 6500? Is it 7000? I'm curious when they should start being worried based off of your logic.

Just sayin that's no reason not to do what we can. Am I mistaken in saying we're sort of in a race against this thing and whatever more time we can give ourselves the better? Turning off your xbox automatically apparently saves two trees worth of CO2. I don't see how we make a different choice but to reduce.

The jetstream is being disrupted. Unusual warm air in one place will displace cold air in another place, like squeezing a balloon, squeeze one part and it will bulge out on the other side. Via convection, warm air wants to push its way north in our hemisphere, and that's what causes it. But some people will tell you climate change isn't real because there is cold involved, not understanding that it's cold air displaced from northern latitudes. Those people who deny climate change can't understand something as simple as a water balloon.

If you think something untoward happened the Board of Ethics (https://bega.dc.gov/) has a process for submitting complaints. You might also try to OAG’s office but I don’t honestly know what oversight power they have on the council.

Is this a trick question?

Bookstore Movers are great.

The mental gymnastics … If dc had its act together on crime they’d have a much better leg to stand on re: statehood. If you’re denying that, let me know.

I’m sorry, but climate change isn’t going to be stopped until we tax the decadence out of the rich.

“Taylor Swift topped the list at more than 170 flights since January, totalling up to 15.9 days in the air, and 8,293.54 metric tons of CO2 emissions—that’s equivalent to all the emissions from the energy used by over 1,000 homes in the U.S. for a year.”

”The average person produces about 7 metric ton of CO2 annually. Meanwhile, celebrities have emitted an average of more than 3,300 metric tons from their private jets alone so far this year.”

100%? You sure bout that?

The poor plants.

Perfect weather for a Spring Training binge watch

You're saying the things that have worked in the past wont work in the future, and the things that never worked in the past will work in the future? And I'm the moron?

Jesus christ, crime posts bring out the dumbest fucking people.

If you wanted to be safe, you would be curious about proven solutions. You wouldn't want slapdash bullshit that has never worked.

It has everything.

You sound like a delightfully nasty person with so many solutions. Why not outline them for all of us so we can see how you’re going to fix the crime. Instead you pull a 7 year old pamphlet out of your ass and expect that it applies to kids who were 5 years old when it was written. Before a world pandemic. I’m dying laughing at what a moron you have proven yourself to be! 😂

Thanks for the input!

Larger point will still stand though: those with higher incomes contribute more to emissions. Both the global top 10% and the top 10% within the country when compared to the rest.

The annoying school groups all wear bucket hats now.

Just rent a uhaul

I think the people who study this for a living, and have succeeded elsewhere are correct, while you think everyone who studies this for a living and has succeeded elsewhere is wrong.

Which of us has our heads up our ass?

You want to clutch your pearls, Karen. That's all. That's fine, but recognize that's all you're doing. There are proven strategies to reduce crime, and the one thing you're advocating is proven not to work. Yet you want to do it anyways. Shows how much you want to "fix the city."

It must be nice to live with your head so far up your ass that you think you can actually make a difference here in the lives of criminals. You can’t. Talk about being mind numbingly stupid. Good job. Can’t wait to see how you fix the city.

> I can’t worry about coming up with programs

Good thing nobody asked you to do this, then? Nobody asked for you to come up with anything. Nobody asked for your ignorant opinion.

> I want to get them off the street once they commit a crime.

That has nothing to do with whether or not the punishments should be the same as murder. The crux of that issue is not the term of the punishment, but the likelihood of ANY punishment being applied. The only thing you proposed is literally the thing that everyone agrees doesn't work.

Your comment is so mind numbingly stupid because the effect you claim to want is actually accomplished by the thing you're not proposing. It isn't the term of the sentence that reduces crime, it's the likelihood of getting caught in the first place. Keeping criminals off the street is easiest to accomplish by convincing them that their actions have consequences. Increasing the phantom consequences that they rightly believe they will not suffer does nothing at all. Yet that's precisely what you want!

So excuse me if I don't believe you when you say you want to keep criminals off the streets. If that's what you wanted, you would exhibit a modicum of curiosity about how to achieve that goal, because what you're proposing doesn't achieve the stated intention.

> It keeps the rest of us just a sliver safer.

It doesn't. It makes you feel safer. But it doesn't make you any safer at all. That's what every study on this subject has shown time and time again.

You’re worried now, wait til you see what’s coming🫣

Can someone tell me who we should reach out to on the council to voice complaints? I tried to understand what committee gambling went to but was unable to figure it out.

Janeese Lewis George's office (my member) does not seem to care.
