"Welcome, but be good!" Welcoming... whom? Does the President understand that US passports are not for foreign visitors to the United States?
When our train said this, I thought it was an error, but I checked later and it really was ~36°.
The current president would never be negligent about document storage practices the way Crooked Hillary was.
Anyway, I often accuse Canadian courts of being outcome-driven, and a unanimous SCC that "reading s. 121 to require full economic integration would significantly undermine the shape of Canadian federalism" when the first word of s. 121 is "All" did not dissuade me of that.
'Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the two leaders had “talked a lot about Taiwan”.... “I’ll be making decisions,” he said of the deal, without setting out a clear timeline. “But you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that’s 9,500 miles away.”'
I will add, though, and @doug.city can confirm, that the Boca station design is ridiculous if you're a pedestrian. The headhouse is at the end of a dead street at the north end of the platform, but the only way to cross the tracks (to where all the stuff is, like Mizner Park) is past the south end.
I use ITE trip generation manuals as monitor stands. When a student RA came in with impostor syndrome and worried he couldn't be as statistically rigourous as "real" engineers, I took the manuals out to show him what he was competing with.
Regularly assigning gates last minute would cause chaos for departing pax. LGA is all narrowbody or regional. Fleetwide, mainline carriers turn around a narrowbody in 65-75 mins and board 35-40 mins before departure, so that would mean assigning departure gates 30-40 minutes before boarding.
I don't think it's possible for the extra VMTs induced by AVs to offset the safety improvement, as @davidzipper.bsky.social worries. Overall VMTs need to increase many times over to negate the per-VMT safety benefit vs regular cars—even if all transit disappears. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/w...
Anyway, it is is not racist to say that the DPRK is an authoritarian regime where state censorship, control of citizen movement and a culture of fear creates a level of repression in North Korean unimaginably more severe than that in the United States.
Hochul should offer the trial lawyers a deal where she gets tort reform and they get their helicopter noise bill which is almost definitely preempted by Federal law.
(The Iranians have definitely not rigged the comments for the article where a Fox News writer transcribes an on background US official's claim that Iran has no leverage.)
What are the chances that Iranian proxies are rigging the Fox News comments section on Orbán's defeat?
I can think of no better argument against a candidate than the candidate having negotiated the taxpayer-fleecing union contracts in Nassau County, New York.
I dunno, man. A platform summarized as "promising revenge" supported by people living "in a fact free environment" does not sound like someone describing what he thinks is a "real intellectual movement", nor does calling the core of Trump's entire economic agenda one of the "dumbass ideas".
Some fun math: Until January 2022, everything at the Dollar Tree by my house was $1. Now that bottle of bleach is $3. Conclusion: THE BLS IS LYING TO YOU! THE REAL RATE OF INFLATION IS 31.5% PER YEAR!!!
How did they sell anything for a dollar in 2021? This location didn't have $1.25 items until early 2022!
I'm most outraged that the same jug of bleach that used to cost me $1 is now $3, followed by how Mr Plumber was $1 and pointed out that it was 20% bigger than the standard size while the new $1.50 bottle of Mr Plumber does not as it is the standard size.
Someone needs to do a study measuring how inflation outrage correlates with proximity to a Dollar Tree. They didn't even have items above $1 until 2021. Now items that were $1 are $1.25, $1.50 and sometimes even $3—and they're already covering the new $1.50 labels to add products that are $3.75.
Something I've been informally following for the past year is the comments section on Fox News articles, and things seem to have taken a pretty sharp turn with Iran. Other actions people here found outrageous were welcomed and cheered (except perhaps Alex Pretti) but anti-war comments now dominate.
That regulated taxi drivers would not pick up certain people or go to certain neighbourhoods was so widely known twenty-five years ago that it was considered appropriate as a joke in a film made for children.
Happy Infrastructure Week to all, even the haters and losers and ayatollahs!
I'm feeling too lazy to read the study, but "It would be very slow to fix with new supply." isn't really a refutation of a simple S&D model nor is "It's actually too much demand, not insufficient supply."
