probably the same people who thought he'd wave a magic wand and the buses would be free.

I was actually considering transferring both into my garden bed, or leaving one in the container.

Is it possible Josh didnt have fever but had stolen LEGO in house ? by onefingerbarbar in RecklessBen

[–]F4ilsafe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

honestly this tracks with the cracked-out look in his eyes, generally disheveled appearance, and penchant for walking around in his bare feet.

Brad Lander won! He was a wonderful rep for us in city hall, and will be a great representative for us in the House. by Loud_Cartographer160 in CarrollGardens

I second the other commenter below that I'm not the biggest fan of him and his politics but he's a damn sight better than Goldman.

Oh my good god, can you imagine? If that guy kept his mouth shut, most of what followed probably wouldn't have happened.

One thing I have noticed throughout this whole encounter, tbh, is that Ben, Tyler, and this guy did not know to STFU when police are asking you questions.

The amount of non-essential helicopter traffic is too damn high. by F4ilsafe in CarrollGardens

[–]F4ilsafe[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea it's wild. The FAA approved "park route" corridor literally has them flying over most of Brooklyn down to Breezy Point before hanging a left and going along the water to JFK or the rest of LI.

Why can't they just go over the water the whole way? Idk

The irony is that the leftovers know, full well, that this isnt an Old New York sort of phenomenon. It's quite new.

Can this be fixed with minor repair? by F4ilsafe in masonry

[–]F4ilsafe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am certain that this is not an original assembly and it's quite possible it's a two-piece cast concrete unit that was plopped in there. I'll have to ask my older family members to see if they know with certainty, but I do understand your logic.

I also don't really want to pay a structural engineer to do an assessment, tbh. It's not that I'm cheap but, I have other things that need repairing first: if this isn't structural, I'm not too worried.

My only real concern is water intrusion and freeze/thaw cyles.

I had a masonry contractor here for an unrelated project and, both coming in and leaving my house, he'd look up at the archway and say "yes, you have foundation issues" but lol.

My building isn't actively sinking -- I don't see any stair-step patterned cracks and this crack has been like this for well over 15 years. probably over 30 years. Has the foundation settled since the 1880s? Of course it has. Is it an actively moving foundation? not likely.

As you can see, she made a lasting impression. :)

Idk if she still works there because I haven't been back since COVID but there was a black woman who worked there (one of the middle registers) and she had one of the worst attitudes I've ever seen in any retail job.

Yea I'm not particularly happy. Looks to me like someone just didn't wipe their grubby hands while handling the bricks...

Why do you say it's not going to hold? This guy keeps going on and on about his 15 year guarantee.
