In this case, area taxpayers ("the public") constitute a minority of riders.
FIFA attendees are wealthy vacationers and $75 each direction is roughly what an Uber or taxi to the stadium would cost on a regular day. I don't see the issue.
He unintentionally passed the lot while on his way to grab dinner with me, I would have done the same if I stumbled across a bunch of visible cars + plates.
Growing up in Eastern Europe, this specific feeling was such a big reason why our folks wanted to leave their home countries for the West, in hopes that it wouldn't be *like that *.
When the basis of the entire US economy is predicated on not prosecuting elite white collar crime & elevating those at the the top of the worst, but legitimized white collar scams to positions of unlimited wealth & power, all that’s left is for everyone else to try to do their own scams.
That white one had cyan brake calipers, never noticed that before
Wow, what a coincidence!
rare color alert 🤎
Pennsylvania just paid $200m for one additional passenger round-trip from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh. Colorado is paying ~$100m per round-trip (on a route 1/4 the length of PA’s). At these prices, the “low-hanging fruit” of US intercity pax rail expansion are a lot higher up than they appear.

Has anybody made an insider trading ETF yet?
I noticed they switched to three car trains on the Jamaica line yesterday. Or at least mine was.
Are those bag shelves all unsecured?
@jesselang.bsky.social thanks for the assist
Forest with a red property line
The red property line has been cleared of forest and a large home has been built
At 627 Lily Lake Rd in Fulton County, this house sits on 7 acres of freshly-cleared forest land on a 126 acre lot. It also has a 5,000 sqft accessory garage.
Because SEQRA presumes that single-family homes have no significant environmental impact, no review was necessary.

I'm told that most buildings don't have generators and instead rely on batteries for lights and emergency elevator function.
I assumed disallowing tanks was your implied position based on calling them a "bigger issue".
I'm not privy to the specifics of generators but the level of complexity involved in making the pumping system adequately redundant does not appear cheap.
The alternative is a triple-redundant pump system with diesel backup power on-site.
Judging by how developers keep choosing tanks (and they have largely worked as intended for over a century), I'd argue mandating pumps would cause the kind of onerous over-regulation we're trying to reduce!
This incident is borne of a massive oversight completely unrelated to the copper plumbing mandate. A building's water supply cannot be allowed to freeze, period. Having nonfunctioning sprinklers in a highrise is a threat to life.

Per an engineer friend with experience in LL 11 and mid highrise construction, there is no chance a PEX line would be viable to connect the supply tank on the roof given the diameter involved (3" or 4").
Ex of a leader pipe they likely forgot to insulate. The building itself has two exposed tanks.
Feeling blue!
It looks wall-mounted so at least you can adjust the spacing yourself.

The red one was fun!
We bind our own hands though, because people think you can't be illiberal in the defense of liberalism. To the contrary, it's essential to be illiberal if doing so is the only way to save liberalism.
Expropriate all of these various media properties -- Twitter, Paramount, CBS, etc -- and hand them over to political allies (or better yet, break them up first) on day one of the next trifecta. By midterms you'll have a whole new culture that everyone just accepts.
Not every elected Republican wants to execute their Democratic colleagues but there is not a single one who will protest or object if it happens.
Nice bowl
Janno even said this was on the table after the OMNY rollout was done.
This was me and my partner for a while but we don't regret going a *little* bit upmarket nowadays.
It feels like every time we optimize solely for price some mildly aggravating issue pops up. E.g. poor sound insulation, rattling ACs, a faulty shower door that ends up flooding the bathroom 🙄
Glad NA offerings have moved past that rancid stuff
