Wait what is even the point of this? Why is it a circle if there are only 2 exits?

Even then it doesn't really matter because the free speech limitations regarding violence are very narrow to either specific threats or imminent incitement to violence which this obviously is neither. The DOJ should probably know that as well.

And it cost almost nothing too. Just amazingly successful.

Seems like the issue is that the codes are written without doing much real cost-benefit or risk analysis.
The other issue is 2nd order effects - if you make it too expensive to build new housing, people still have to live somewhere - it will be in old housing with no sprinklers at all.

I was there in June a couple years ago. It gets humid.

On the construction cost side, there are probably ways to make it more reasonable too. I live in a new-ish MF building with sprinklers. Having one in the utility closet with the AC and water heater probably makes sense, but having one in the coat closet seems excessive.

I think maintenance is the biggest issue. If there aren't requirements for ongoing inspections, then you have to assume a significant fraction of homeowners simply won't maintain these systems at all and may even just disable them entirely.

Polygraph results usually aren't even admissible in courts which means they must be impressively bad given how many other BS forensic tests and psych evaluations are admissible.

Similarly, streetcars/light rail trains should be outfitted with steel bumpers and be allowed to simply push cars out of the way if they're blocking the tracks.

This guy came from money then made even more by getting really lucky in Austin real estate before moving back to Cleveland. Now he's just burning through his own money because he can't do a real job. I think he has a music degree or something.

I know a guy who owns a small business. He's actually nice, but he's lazy af. The business is only functional because he hires a ridiculous amount of staff to do everything for him. It's almost certainly hemorrhaging money.

you can run "republican pedophile politician of the week." you might even be able to run it daily. democrats don't actually have that problem! if you did, fox news would be all over it.

The nice thing about being on the east coast is we actually have some overlap with working hours in Europe.

I assume "more space" refers to their downtown full of 6-lane streets and parking lots.

Just weeks after a catastrophic mid-air at DCA, Musk has fired hundreds of people tasked with keeping the air traffic control system and critical airport infrastructure running.
Literally the opposite of what Republicans were demanding in response. But now they’re silent.

Most people will follow the speed limit even with no real enforcement though. From my experience, the real "risk" of e-bikes in bike lanes is mostly overstated and mostly a result of the bike lanes themselves being poorly designed (too narrow for anything other than single-file traffic)
comment in response to
post
The short-term solution is speed limits in bike lanes.
The long term solution is a network of protected lanes so people don't feel the need to buy faster bikes. The only reason I bought a class 3 e-bike is because it's impossible to get anywhere without riding in traffic.

I think Trump's first term has convinced him also that bad things just can't happen no matter what he messes up.

I broke a bolt on the throttle body on my car once. Couldn't find replacements, so I bought an entire used throttle body assembly on ebay just for the bolts.

Even Covid was handled fairly well compared to the rest of the world. Trump bungled it at the beginning, but the economic stimulus and vaccine programs were largely a success because he still let experts lead a lot of things.

Seems like a problem that we're doing more and more things online but our only semi-universal government ID is a paper card with a 9 digit number that is supposed to be used for both ID and authentication.

I think the markets are largely ignoring this risk for now. But I think businesses will eventually come around to the idea that stability is more important than tax cuts, especially if they break something important, like they've come close to doing several times.
comment in response to
post
If the administration continues ignoring courts, especially SCOTUS, businesses/financial markets will see that as a significant increase in risk and respond accordingly. Trump's words say he doesn't care what the markets do, but his actions suggest otherwise.

Seems like it will be an interesting experiment to see how low of an HDI a state within a wealthy country can get once they let things like their public university systems implode. I can't imagine schools like WVU being able to withstand a significant cut to federal research funding.

A lot of them also believe that programs like Medicaid are actually extremely easy to qualify for and they can save money by limiting it to people who are "truly deserving".

Some people seem to have a bizarre belief that delegating things back to states is some sort of free money cheat code.
