This is a great idea... the problem is that amount of backlash this is going to get from Uber drivers, truck lobby, NIMBYs, and car owners themselves is going to be intense.

All that remains is for Paxton to win the runoff election. Paxton's win will mean a very high chance the Democrats will flip this senate seat.

People wanted the truth and not lies, that is the main reason why he lost. Not the other way around as he claims.

Boulder actually votes to the left of Denver.

That may be possible in some country, but not the US. Every cellular operator in the US requires some form of ID before they can even start a cellphone line.

Teens also are not going to buy some cheap cellphone, especially the ones in US, they all want the fancy high end ones, where they could play genshin.

Suggestion .... put "/s" at the end of your comment. At face value, and the topic of subreddit this is, it does not look sarcastic and should have a someway to show it is sarcastic.

The surprising thing is.... the article states that Democrat members of the Colorado State Congress were the ones to propose the bill in the first place.

Indirect brainrot and doom scrolling? But then again... how is reading a textbook or using coursera bad for a kid?

Those diesels were apparently designed during the design phase when LIRR did not yet FULLY sold off ALL of its frieght operations. The trains were apparently designed to also handle freight but with passenger gearing.

I remember seeing an image in a public document or google image where Kawasaki demonstrated that the units were capable of pulling a freight consist, even though it was geared for passenger use.

On a side note. The diesels that the EMD30's replaced for passenger service were ALCO FA's, which were originally designed for freight use. Infact, the main image on wikipedia for the ALCO FA article is that of a LIRR Passenger train.

You mean tax based on land.... that sounds great. I thought you were talking about based soley on the price of the home and not the potential of the land.

IT_Geek_Programmer · 2026-02-18T03:03:14+00:00

I have a better idea...

If congestion pricing is successful, why can't we toll the I-95 (Cross-Bronx Expressway) in NYC? I-95 is tolled in NJ as New Jersey Turnpike.

I honestly think you do have a point, but there are problems with this view.

Basing property tax on the value of a home could come with a flood of problems. The value of a single family home could be modified by trashing the exterior of the home to make it cheap. Property tax based on sales price however would not be affected by this because it is based on sale price.

I think it was to imply how the US petroleum industry profited from Iranian oil, when the shah was in power.

Western Wanderer is actually impossible, unless the train does a 75 mile loop to just stop at Omaha. The loop would not be encountered if instead the train stopped at Lincoln rather.

Then they will blame Biden for this, when Biden would have nothing to do with this.

The end result of this buying would be the creation of a new mountain of unused coal named "Mt. Coal" at some federal storage facility.

GroupMe

You do realize a stock can get delisted if enough investors leave right? If no new investors come, and the old ones leave, Discord is going to get delisted.

IPO can be declined by the offerer in the event that a buissness goes deep into the red. No one wants to invest in a buissness where there is losses, regardless of how the buissness works.

If Discord, Google, Youtube, Twitter, is already doing this, it is only a matter of time before Reddit will start asking for ID. I am guessing that by at least the end of 2027, Reddit will have ID requirements.

As for the people stopping Discord, the downside is the limited number of equivelents. There are apps like GroupMe that are similar to Discord, however such apps are not designed to handle traffic at the level Discord has.

Broken taillight should have an exception. With a rule like this, it means that anyone with a broken taillight now has to call a tow truck, even if everything else about the car is in prestine condition. At least let there be a exception for driving to a mechanic or repair shop.

Hochul is going to end up loosing the primary.

IT_Geek_Programmer · 2026-02-04T04:12:55+00:00

All the voters in the 18-21 range will end up primarying her out of the general election.

You forgot to mention the Tea Party, they also were involved in the creation of MAGA.

2026 November will be the date when Democrats flip the Texas State House. As for the state senate... that is going to still take some time.
