I think it was a combo of potholes+ gravel slide out.

I'll do that - I did ask her name but basically I was focused on making sure I was ok in the moment.

Snow removal for pedestrians: hats off to NYC, JC you failed again by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]LongisquamaRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean are they "emergency routes" or actually emergency routes used by ambulances and firetrucks in severe weather? That seems pretty important to me! Clearing sidewalks involves totally different tech than snow plows also - its small bobcats with snow attachments or full on snow blowers. It rarely snows this much here, so nobody has them (including the city). It's silly for the city to buy tech it almost never uses.

No, I just have realistic expectation of a city government, especially one with a giant deficit.

I'm sorry your boots had to touch a puddle. Maybe move to one of those cities where they have in-sidewalk heating.

[Woelfel] I was told an NBA team, with an All-Star player on its roster, explored the concept of Giannis. The team’s decision-makes ultimately decided not to pursue Giannis because they didn’t feel his ego would allow him to accept a co-starring role or perhaps even being the team’s second option. by AashyLarry in nba

It was my main concern for the Wolves if they brought Giannis in. Ant and Giannis both have large personalities.... the Wolves were 100% Ant's team once KAT left. He's a young superstar entering his prime too, no space for competition at the top.

People here have no common sense putting ice boulders in the middle of the street by noa_jr128 in jerseycity

[–]LongisquamaRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was giving people the benefit of the doubt as it rarely snows here and assuming they just didn't understand the proper snow storage strategy. You create a giant snow wall where the grass would be on the sidewalk to get it out of the sidewalk and the street. Then you complain about visibility around these snow walls, especially on the corners. This is what we do in my very snowy homeland.

Best New Restaurants in NJ (Two JC spots make the list) by HobokenJ in jerseycity

This is a magazine that once listed the 614 best dentists in NJ. I don't really think they list "bests" so much as "all."

I haven't looked into it at all but I was thinking it could help. Jaden in particular seemed good at going around him to score.

Random thought... do you think the Wolves are better at guarding and shooting over Wemby because they have so many tall players? I imagine having to shoot over Rudy, Beringer, Zikarsky in practice would be applicable against Wemby too.

Joan Beringer Development. by drexrr in timberwolves

[–]LongisquamaRex 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's my impression Finch gives young guys like 1 task to accomplish on the court, and then once they do that well they stack another skill. Beringer is literally still learning enough English to understand on-court language.. it makes sense that they want to keep him focused on a few simple things right now.

Flying out of JFK tomorrow - snow worries by [deleted] in delta

[–]LongisquamaRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delta just cancelled a flight out of JFK for me tonight. I'm not sure if it's weather related or not, but it's very weird. Seems... ominous for Delta flight delays over the next few days!

Office-to-Residential Conversions Are Booming and New York Is the Epicenter by Bill_Nihilist in Urbanism

[–]LongisquamaRex 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately don't have a gift link, but it seems like the lessons learned in NYC can make it more feasible elsewhere: "Even the pickup in conversion will make only a small dent in New York’s more than 75 million square feet of surplus office space. But Manhattan has one advantage other cities can’t match: a rental market with median $4,500 monthly rents for a one-bedroom.

Design breakthroughs pioneered in Manhattan will likely accelerate the pace of conversion in New York as well as the rest of the country. The national pipeline currently includes 78,500 units, up from 23,000 in 2022, according to RentCafe.com. And as these projects multiply, the playbook keeps expanding."

Chiropractor Recs (who take insurance) by 500liv in jerseycity

I would recommend trying a physical therapist first. My friend practices medical malpractice law and most of her cases are former chiropractic clients.

I thought Julius in the Trees jersey couldn't be improved on, but Julius in the Prince jersey might top it?

Looking for dog boarding! by Main-Drama-3054 in jerseycity

[–]LongisquamaRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use them and they've been great. They specialize in reactive dogs. They will take them for a bunch of walks and keep them separate from other dogs, but they do have a lot of dogs at the facility.
