  When I went to college early 2000’s, my SSN was printed directly on my student ID card. It was the unique ID that the university used for each student. Then like a year or two later, they required all the students to get new IDs without the SSN printed on them.

  I wonder if the secret service would need to be locked in the cell with him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Obama Becoming President Make People Hide Their Racism?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong. Obama was a really good president. The problem is that instead of being far left, he was a very left central president and tried very hard to work with Republicans.

  Part of the problem is that Republicans didn’t want to associate with the opposing factor and started moving further right as Obama positioned himself in the center. The racists in the far right were ready to undo everything Obama helped shaped during his 8 years in office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re misunderstanding. Yes, it cannot fit in when it’s angled properly to fit into the hole. However, if you angle the plate 45 degrees and lift one end of the plate, it will fall into the diagonally. That’s why manholes are round shaped. There is no angle for a round cover to fall into the hole itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right. OP called it a manhole, so I assumed. But looking at the size compared to the foot, it’s too small to be a manhole cover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a risk that if you try to turn the square cover that the cover will fall into the hole. It’s really strange that it’s square and not round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is no one else going to talk about how weird it is to see a square manhole cover? Now there’s a risk of dropping the cover down the hole due to the shape.

  Everything you said is how I assume would happen. Also after watching Painkiller on Netflix, I can see how it can get out of hand even with prescriptions back in the 80s and 90s.

  I keep forgetting that Snapchat is still around until I see a post like this

  As an IT person, I was going to suggest this too. Glad you brought it up first.
