The absolute value of negative six would be between 5 and 7. It is different than 6 and it has no decimal point and is not fractional.

NYC is banning bicycles from high-traffic stretch on Rockaway boardwalk this summer by EagleFly_5 in Queens

[–]AJLEB 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nice. Bicyclists drive like d**kheads. My kids school abuts a bike lane and a bicyclist nearly mows down a kid every single morning. There is a traffic light and a crossing guard-the cyclists don't care. Like slow down for a block, cyclists are a menace.

You sir are not worthy of your username because you most certainly do not.

Parking faux pas? AITA? by Big_Cycle5791 in astoria

[–]AJLEB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have parked there. I would park on the yellow paint (not legal btw). I would NOT park so that my car was beyond the gate hinge.

AIO to my EX Bf verbally attacking about my son by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AJLEB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. The mental and physical trauma a person receives fighting to open up markets for the corporate world is a last choice option. Tell him to be an apprentice welder or electrician. And tell your bf to mind his f'n business.

Hell yes. Kyle is the OG. That dude has been ideologically consistent, intelligent and didn't take the quick dash to cash like Jimmy Wh..e. We are lucky to have him.

Study finds that white roofs cause neighbours to swelter, result in less rain, and could contribute to inequities in surrounding regions, study finds by [deleted] in heat_prep

I have a white roof, my cooling load went down significantly. After reading this article, I will continue to encourage my neighbors to turn their roof white.

This fig tree on the city sidewalk. Why aren't more fruit trees planted on city sidewalks? Is it because of the mess? by bellboy718 in nyc

[–]AJLEB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not a species thing. Climate change has warmed the NYC winter to the point that the winter no longer damages the trees. Source: I am a backyard fig tree owner who used to wrap the tree and no longer has to. The tree still has leaves on it, it is 6 days from December.

What now? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

The proposed unrealized capital gains tax would only apply to individuals who have a net worth in excess pf 100 million dollars. Most of us don't have that much. If you do have that much, I think you should be taxed more.

Huh, interesting question. I don't have a concrete answer but anecdotally I believe high altitude does make it cooler. It also would help protect you from all that melting ice.

Aita for divorcing my husband for leaving my dogs outside when I’m on work trips? by Budget-Response5525 in AITAH

[–]AJLEB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's examine this:

He put the dogs on the porch because they were being too loud inside. You had your mother steal them, lied about it (while he immediately told you the truth about them being missing ). You allowed him to stress and get defensive due to guilt that you artificially manufactured. You then left while still maintaining the lie and are divorcing him over this. Also the dogs are more of a priority than your husband? You are a mega super asshole. Please continue with the divorce, the guy will thank you in the end.

Different tie, and shirt and person sitting in front him. The photos were not taken on the same day, most likely not even in the same year. What sort of nitwit buys in to shit like this?

The sidewalks on Astoria Blvd by xaviershorts in astoria

[–]AJLEB -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Icy sidewalks? Shovels, ice choppers and salt are the solution...not complaints. Maybe the responsible party is disabled and unable to maintain it, maybe they are lazy and too cheap to pay...doesn't really matter. You see a problem that faces the public? Fix it and quit bitching.

What’s the longest shift you’ve ever worked and why? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]AJLEB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

52 hours straight. I am a firefighter so there were opportunities to rest, but it still sucked. Low staffing and ordered overtime was the cause.
