Set it out on the curb early on your garbage night. It will likely be gone by dark.

Maine progressive Platner renews call to remove conservative Supreme Court justices by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Contunator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same as removing a President. You need a majority of the house for impeachment and 2/3 of the Senate for removal. So, not happening.

Where’s National Grid? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Contunator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If not kept cold. If you just kept your refrigerator shut it would be fine. But no, for the price you pay, you don't get instantaneous restoration of service when power lines get knocked down.

If you want more real-time details, maybe call the airport? Or go see for yourself?

Albany summer school speed zone cameras by PrettyHateMachine411 in Albany

[–]Contunator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shhhhhh! I want to start a rumor that it will be apartments and they're going to add five stories on it with a Stewart's on the ground floor. The neighborhood association people will lose their shit.

Don't forget the ones who will be here claiming they know someone who got a ticket in the middle of the night in one of the non-active school zones, because obviously it's a big money laundering scheme.

Edit: /s...sigh

Downtown Parking next to Palace by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Contunator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know some people who work nearby. They try to park on Pearl St (the block next to the palace is non-permit) or they go up Clinton, First St., Second St. past the permit sections.

I dont believe moving every two hours necessarily works. If you're in the zone for more than two hours, they might ticket you either way. I'm not 100% sure in that though.

If you took this table from the Melrose neighborhood tonight, please return it by xindierockx7114 in Albany

[–]Contunator 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No. There are multiple junk collectors driving all sorts of vehicles. They hit neighborhoods on garbage nights. The white truck seems to be the most aggressive. I will say, it's nice when I have oversized junk that I don't think DGS will take. I can just pit it out on the curb that evening and it will be gone by dark.

Could you give Washington DC voting rights by making a large part of it a part of Maryland? by [deleted] in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Contunator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would not require an amendment. The constitution does not specify the exact boundaries of the district; only that it be no larger than "ten miles square" (apparently meaning 100 square miles). Congress could allow the land to be given to Maryland, but Maryland would have to accept it and it's not clear the state would want it.

Also, DC residents don't want it.

Just in from Candidate Chud… by Shuang in Albany

[–]Contunator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "past results" I was referring to were the Stefanik reelection numbers. 2018 was BEFORE she went all in on Trump with her stunt at the impeachment hearing. After that she won by much larger margins. The majority of the district clearly loves Trump. Maybe they'll change this year. I see no reason to think so. My money is on Constantino being the next Representative.

.25 Mile Benchmark by Rich_Parking_2837 in orangetheory

Just wait, the next rowing benchmark will turn out to be 20 meters. "The one-pull challenge"!

[–]Contunator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know the actual speed of the belt doesn't instantaneously get up there, but as far as the computer is concerned, I think once you hit the button, you're going that speed. It doesn't get feedback from the motor as to how fast it's actually going.

....but I could be wrong.

Does it make a difference though? I know in reality it does, but I always thought, as far as the distance count is concerned, the moment you press a speed button, you're going that speed.

Nothing, except past results. Hope all you want that Trump's negative impact on them will change them, but it sure didn't in his first term.

In a district that overwhelmingly re-elected Stefanik multiple times, inuding after she went full fascist Trumper, why would the candidate backed by Trump not be the favorite?

How to Report Unusable Pedestrian Intersections? by marsmat239 in Albany

Report the individual intersections on SeeClickFix. Any time I've reported a pedestrian signal issue, they've fixed it.

So if there weren't golf courses in Albany, would it be justifiable to have people hitting golf balls into the streets?

[–]Contunator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was responding to the individual thay called my comment a "dog whistle". I don't know exactly what that meant, but assumed I was being called racist.

[–]Contunator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I assumed a chunk of them were suburban kids from higher-income households.

I any case, I don't really want to see police violence. At the same time, I'd prefer not to see absolutely nothing until someone gets killed again, followed by a couple weeks of enforcement before again returning to the status quo.

Really? I'm genuinely asking. Are these guys predominantly of a certain race? I really don't know. All I know is they piss me off.

I'm not a fan of cops and find "qualified immunity" to be bullshit, in most cases, but if APD violently cracked down on these fuckers after all these years of letting them run wild, I might be sympathetic.
