I like that in Germany they just played clown music around them.

I think it was '93 or '96 when the gov shut down. My dad was home from work for a week or two. Gov opened back up and then we got snow and he was home for another week. he was getting reallllly bored. This was pre-internet so there wasn't much to do but play nintendo and watch tv.

Had friends that lived in one 15 years ago. Was nice, way nicer than the average dc row house.
Far from everything at the time, but a good spot now.

Those were new like 20 years ago. Long before the warf redevelopment.

Buy one! Ender 3's are cheap and pretty good. Microcenter used to have them for $100.

oh 100%. I know of Alaskan Native corporations that are based in NoVA. They use the alaskan name and give the profits back to the alaskan native tribe. As long as the company meets its agreed payments, they do basically whatever they want. no one from the tribe works at the company, they just lend out their name.
I also had a software company suggest that we just buy through an alaskan native since then the contract could be executed in days. If we went through the vendor it would have to be a real bid/compete process.

seems like the HBCU small business goals are working then. The goal is to help small business get work and learn from the big boys so they can go out on their own. And also so that the $ are spread out and don't just go to the big contractors.

somebody's gonna meet their HBCU/MI small business goals this year.
FYI, in case people don't work in contracting. Many large government contractors have to submit a small business plan for how they are going to spread out the money to subcontractors.
Small business, women owned, veteran owned, service disabled veteran owned, Alaskan native, and Historically black colleges and universities are categories.
I HIGHLY doubt this is the first government military research work they have done. Likely it's been as a sub to someone else.

and the weird thing about it is that his ex?-wife is in the band. All the shit he did, was while he was married to a band member. And they are still together, touring and doing their thing.
Which kinda makes me think maybe what he did wasn't that bad (I really haven't looked into it). She seems OK with it, who am I to judge. (i probably should look into it).

I'm not even sure you can do that. My tickets are will call only to stop re-sellers. I'm not sure I can even re-sell my ticket, and definitely can't sell it outside of ticketmaster's systems.

I believe a previous post quoted an article saying that a few dozen were offered permanent/transition housing and only a dozen-ish took up the offer.
