@jaycaspiankang I know and respect your troll but honestly I couldn't tell if you were slightly serious? You write (well+seriously) about the insanity of youth sports. Sunscreen is similar relgion? My kids play water polo (Socal) + ocean lifeguard + melanoma is no joke (at all). I was confused!

@Frances_Coppola 7 of the 43 states do NOT allow "tipped minimum wage." CA minimum is 16.90 and many food service pay $20. Yes tipping is nice and you should but it's not "because the workers are paid less." Everyone in CA retail makes the same $20, you tip the cashiers at Target and CVS?

@jbarro Two things: no cameras is absolutely bonkers (game film, anyone, on a serious team?! WTF). Second, NO ONE(*) is getting a scholarship. But, it might help you get in, and it might make private "cost the same as public" and it's a nice resume item. (*) check your HS signing day.

@jbarro My kids play a niche sport - water polo. I'd call it a positive experience with multiple skill levels and a low barrier to entry. Few scholarships but a lot of kids could play D3 if they wanted (only ~50 schools have a team). But it's very different than soccer, baseball, bball.

@TheStalwart @TheStalwart I re-read your post, are you saying pressure / repercussions to donate? Or just inequitable? I can say CA is 100% unfair, but cannot legally force anything. If you ask, the school is paying for a field trip and sports equipment (yes even a speedo for swim team).

@tylermacro10 @UapostropheR @TheStalwart No, within large districts there is huge variance (source: neighbor is a SDUSD elementary principal). Last year ran a Title I school. This year, SAME DISTRICT, runs an elementary school in La Jolla whose PTA pays for certificated MTSS FTE for each grade. Stop.

@TheStalwart @tylermacro10 Made up. LCFF defines funding floor, basic aid districts get property tax funding > LCFF. PTA/PTSA/Foundations raise millions (see: Canyon Crest Foundation (one HS), $2.4mn raised in 24). Also, not ever required. Always FAPE.

@jbarro The interesting thing to me is, saying that out loud on other social networks will get you banned and tarred as a third reich eugenicist. I look to the NYT comments on stories like this, and they overwhelmingly support Singal. This is far worse science than early covid!

@jaycaspiankang Curious, which UHS does this refer to? Irvine?

@amyforsandiego Your story is wrong. SDUSD did not rent the gym, the non-profit CCA foundation did. That group is crooked (director made >$150k!) and can rent to anyone they want and keep the money. ravensfortransparency.org is what you need to know! Shame on SDUSD for not fixing it sooner.

@OrinKerr Is "that's him in the photo" always sufficient for arrest? Lots of exculpatory evidence (didn't even call Amazon to see if he was working). Seemed like lazy detectives all around, and this was just one more hole in the swiss cheese.

@TiffanyFong_ @TiffanyFong_ you do know Boeing doesn't make the engines, right? And that some engines are BOTH Boeing and Airbus planes? 🤯

@TheWapplehouse @TheWapplehouse you omitted the part where the same engine and system are common on the a320neo. But please blame Boeing. Maybe a valid trade off and the Vancouver landing shows what can happen in a few seconds. Maybe engines exploding is worse?

@jaycaspiankang It’s a war on poor people. Who won’t notice because of the 5k DOGE check that they too now live in Flint, MI. Our 401ks will never be fatter, though. We are fine.

@hamandcheese @jbarro And I'm not sure your point? There are lots of statutes that seem to "require congress to amend" to ignore, and they're being ignored. This would, in fact, be pretty amazing.

@ChefReactions When I buy two, they almost always note and count "the 2." Looking for accidental double-scans. They often count total cart items. One scam is "same cart twice." Marking + checking receipts prevents that. Small price to pay to keep shrinkage low and margins low.

@SamBlum3 @EvanDrellich @patio11 is the first person I thought of listening to this. Imagine being a bank teller and explaining to Ohtani why his wire transfer didn't go through!!

@ericlister @RecordsPaper911 @Oilfield_Rando They price a maximum 15 over cost, no cheating. That’s the secret, it’s not complicated. It never varies (Kirkland brand gets a few more points). Find another store selling everything at 12% margin. Good luck!

@RealCynicalFox @RealCynicalFox BC water is 10x more expensive + harms marine life. 2 seconds of google would show San Diego spent $1bn to build one in 2012, produces 7% of the counties water. Ratepayers are stuck with the bill, but SD is "end of the line", beholden to LA. Good call IMO.

@jbarro “John Tower had a reputation around Capitol Hill as someone a woman – unless maybe she’s in a wheelchair over the age of 90 – would never dare to share an elevator with,” Shapiro says. “He was a bottom-pincher, a skirt-chaser, in the parlance of those days.”
