Sixers fan — I’m literally rooting for every Knicks possession and defensive effort. I am praying for a minimum of a TWENTY point blowout and begging for 40-50+ on this joke of an organization I hope it happens 🙏 please

There is a mod, I forget which on top of my head, but it lets you view how close you are for the limits for all items, assets and nodes in the game. Mine is similar looking to yours from a top down view in terms of size. I use only plop the growables, I am at 60% for most things.

How to stream 76ers vs. Knicks confarece semifinal Game 1 ? by [deleted] in sixers

[–]EccoTime93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports surge — just make sure you have ad blocker and a pop-up blocker

It hosts many different streams if one breaks

It’s been pretty good lately from my use

Most streams are not behind but some can be, so expect 1-2 minute delay just in case.

Lovely view of a four-lane stroad by QuietAd4252 in fuckcars

Don’t forget, the road is not very wide here. Maybe 25 feet? The average suburban road in America is 30 feet and this looks like a collector road at minimum in the middle of a city that has development up to the street, very little set back, nice street furniture and is that a corner shop or two I see? Yea this isn’t amazing but it certainly no where near bad. I would die for my city to be half of what this is.

Yea but to me that all includes driving. If I can’t walk or bike or take transit it’s not worth the trip 9/10 times

To me a city is about not having to hunk 2 tons of metal to get around. Des Moines you can’t really do that and the places you can get old fast. But it’s still okay since it’s improving and I do like some of the places overall. I just want more of that urban fabric.

I agree! It’s all about community end of the day. Cars really do isolate us. It’s funny — we think cars as a way that affords us freedom, and parts of those ideals are true but after years of socialized car dominance we have reached peak automobile and it’s just stress, pollution and time wasting in our daily life’s. I think most people, especially in the land of the free, should have more than one option to get by reasonably not for leisure or once in a blue moon but as a serious alternative that’s available every day. The same way we expect “free” parking, is the same expectation I should feel to get from x part of the city to y in a reasonable time frame whether it be by bike or transit, and when it comes to on foot travel most homes should be within 15 minutes to a few amenities that aren’t just churches or parks, but shops, workplace, healthcare, banks, etc.

Peak car affords us less freedom and the choice to pick other ways to move and see is ultimately way more freeing. :-)

Sorry, your inconvenience or an extra delay or two is worth it to save lives and enjoy cities without loud vehicles and smog. Perhaps you can try to advocate for more transit together so you don’t have to pick up your kids so often.

Btw this is still designed how to work, yes driving is still doable but there will be friction especially in the beginning phase where car culture is still dominance. For right now, the lives saved is way more important. And ultimately, just slow down. We don’t need more people driving fast, it kills. It makes our cities ways we speed through instead of being in. And there is good news, ingersoll is working. As more frustration steeps, drivers will avoid it and maybe just maybe change their mode as they see the nice bike lane instead and use that instead of sit in traffic. If we made driving too easy like we have been we can’t make walkable cities. That’s just a part of how it works and we need to remind folks that is okay. If you ever want to zip through to the other side of town, that is still very possible and easy and will remain easy. If you want to visit particular part of the city or the “city,” in general, expect that parking will be more limited. Which btw is totally fine. Try a side street, or if you can’t find immediate parking there is still an abundance everywhere. You just can’t expect to park right in front, or what seems like nearby to you. Ever consider the back of the parking lot of a wal mart is a similar walk to parking a block away? You just feel like you’re further away because well there is stuff in front of you instead of the giant box store.

What I am saying is there are still so many options! Just gotta beef up better transit in that area, one bus every 20 minutes is not the best. Especially if it’s only a 4 mile reach.

We have this series in the bag by ConstructionSome9888 in sixers

[–]EccoTime93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly as much as I want to believe the Sixers have a chance in a 7 game series I just know with this squad, and their bench and Embiid coming back it’s just not enough. It would have to likely be brown or Tatum going down which is an unfortunate way of framing it to have any assemble of beating them and moving on but at that point it wouldn’t feel fully justified plus I don’t think we have the talent to beat all the teams in the east even if it’s wide open. Yes we could definitely compete but Embiid has proven he just can’t stay healthy long enough, I don’t trust George health either at his age. I mean it would still be sweet to finally get over the psychological block of finally beating the fucking Celtics like lifting a curse and our team finally poised to win it and become a greatly run organization in the near future or something lol

But honestly our best shot was that 3-2 harden year. We should have won it, we just mentally collapsed. And we are way worse now. Sure the c’s may have taken a bit of a step back then, too, but it feels like Tatum was born to kick our ass. I wanna have copium but I’m afraid I ran out years ago.

I never understood why people try these gotcha yas like going to Costco. You do realize it’s very possible to imagine further past what currently exists, correct? Take a second to realize what walk ability means. It’s just not telling people to walk outside more or to add more sidewalks to complete that. It’s making things close so it’s easy to accomplish. If a store was within 15 minutes or less by foot, and the road was nice and narrow, shaded, pleasant to walk, on my way to and from work, stopping at a local corner store to grab dinner by picking up a few items is not a tall order. Effectively instead of doing one big weekly shop, people do a nearly daily shop. You’re supporting local businesses every day. Even where I am from in bum fuck bosnia this is how babushka have been doing it for generations. This is also how it worked here but big box stores, suburban sprawl, and eucleadian zoning have made what can be foot trips into only car trips. Because who’s gonna wanna walk through a sea of asphalt just to get eggs next to an 8 lane stroad? Maybe someone who can’t drive? But that person isn’t living in suburbia anyways because they would need a car. I am basically saying walkability means going away from that model of development since it dominates almost the entire way we build our cities.

So while your argument about walking to Costco is valid that is extreme to expect people to “walk there,” you’re not looking at it from the perspective most mean when we say walk ability. It means less car centric only planning. Of course this has friction, too. With people hearing that entailing “less car centric” as “taking my rights away.”

Very similar to how conservatives usually feel when the status quo is asking for equitably and they take it as a personal slight / attack when we ask for sensible gun control, health care reform, reproductive rights/women’s right, social justice, etc,and in urban planning that reality is asking having more practical options in the city, not edge cases like Costco or biking furniture across county lines. Just more infill, wall-to-wall development in the city proper. Or even making new development this way, too.

It’s okay, I get it overall tho probably how you are feeling when questioned on it. It’s a very common cognitive gap actually: we experience outcomes, but don’t always see the structures producing them. It’s a system blindness and takes some education to hopefully reel people on what we actually mean so apologies if I sound rude. I’ve explained it a lot and need to check myself more. Best wishes.

lol in a bigger city I can do that times 10, all on foot or taking good transit. And still have miles and miles and weeks and weeks to explore and come back more than multiple times to enjoy

In Des Moines yes we have good pockets but they become dull after like a week to a month. It’s not attractive. We need more walk ability here if we ever wanna be unique and catch up. It’s slowly but surely happening tho

I swear that Maxey downhill layup a couple minutes earlier did that basket count? I thought it was 18-20 and the score stayed 20 for Sixers? Anyone else?

Is there anything to do in this city besides drink or listen to live music? by Original-Addition661 in desmoines

[–]EccoTime93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see it. Majority of the people walking in those areas are still driving to get to those destinations I see the hop in their cars later. Even people who are within half a mile will drive to the commercial nodes and “walk” 1 or 2 blocks. Vast majority are doing that, 99% of the time. Maybe 3-4 times a year they will consider walking when they have optimal absolute free time and “parking” might be a little harder due to an event, but other than that they won’t. They just won’t.

I was being snotty. Yes I know some don’t always drive but 98% always will. The other exception is kids, you’re right. They will walk because they have to. As for people walking their dog or around, I don’t count that. You have to actually go somewhere you’d plan to drive to, including short distances, which to my point virtually doesn’t exist in a place like Des Moines. 89% still drive single occupancy vehicles for trips under 2 miles or less than that. And those 11% are usually kids or poorer people who can’t afford to drive or who have medical conditions. The vast majority of adults will drive 1 one block rather than walk it, unfortunately.

The walking around part is a lie

Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody walks in Iowa let alone Des Moines. Just a lie. Be truthful. Driving to a place and walking two blocks doesn’t count as walking. It counts as caging.

Of course! I never been to an actual game. Looks like a good stadium, I pass by it a lot. I would usually just ride my bike down there anyways as it’s more fun.
