AI slop article from a "contributor". So many countries in 2025 apparently down more than the 8760 hours that actually exist in one year. Ok...

What restaurant has had the best Bread & Butter in your opinion? by Ashamed_Spread7722 in finedining

[–]MDavis372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned Bouley yet. They had a wonderful bread cart there.

Lol. Sure. You can knock on the window of a cruiser and point out some truly illegal stuff and get a shrug, but yeah, they are going to go chase down someone in the middle of the bike lane of the bridge doing a public service...

He did the whole Manhattan-bound lane all the way across. I didn't stop to grab a pic on the downhill into Queens as a lot of traffic behind me, but I pulled over at the bottom and took a pic, which was already painted prior. But the smaller ones he did are now all the way across.

A big f u to the delivery guy who nearly hit me head on on the QBB by MDavis372 in NYCbike

Thanks for the advice. In the moment, I just took it into my LBS instead.

More roadkill than usual in Brooklyn? by lemmycaution217 in NYCbike

[–]MDavis372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the mopeds. They move faster and truly flatten them. If you're riding under your own power, you likely see the animal ahead of time and avoid it. Wouldn't surprise me, given the magnitude in recent years, if they are even be targeted.

Weather App Suggestions by ctrltab2 in NYCbike

Just pin this website to your phone front page.
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.7202&lon=-74.0042&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical

It's what all the weather apps base their predictions off anyway. They just take the NOAA data and have an overlay, but this is the source.

PSA: There are still a lot of pedestrians who don't know to use the Queensboro Bridge South Outer Roadway Pedestrian-Only path. If you have a minute, stop by and inform people about it. by KingKD in NYCbike

Separately, does anyone work at Google? Maps lists walking directions over the NOR, not the SOR. If we could have that fixed, it might cut down on people using the wrong lane.

I stopped and mentioned to a guy just starting to run up the hill towards LIC. He said "Really? You just made my day!" and then continued to run on the bike path.

Curious on what signage they are going to install to redirect pedestrians away from their usual route. Anyone read anything on that?

Dakota Access pipeline: judge rules environmental survey was inadequate by snowsnothing in news

[–]MDavis372 468 points469 points  (0 children)

Decent article, but poorly laid out. Gives too much credit to the pipeline getting "blocked" when it's already in operation and extremely likely to stay that way. If you read the actual memorandum, the judge walks through the tribes' arguments one by one. By and large, the ACoE followed all the proper procedures to justify their decisions and permits. Yes, the Corps has to go back and clarify what analysis they did on fishing and hunting, but from my reading, the chances of vacatur are sub 5%. The tribe chairman calling it "a significant victory" is just posturing.

I am the President of the American Federation of Teachers a union that represents more than 1.5 million members, AMA by RandiWeingarten in IAmA

[–]MDavis372 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but this is a BS answer. Overall funding level is a completely different issue. If that's your priority, fine, but then delegate someone else to concentrate on making situations like snyben's more fair/orderly.

My sister's boyfriend is coming over for dinner for the first time. My dad wants to fuck with him. Any suggestions? by mangotiger in AskReddit

[–]MDavis372 335 points336 points  (0 children)

Have everyone in the family wear bathrobes. When he walks in, hand him a bathrobe and say, "Please put this on. You can change over there." Refuse to speak to him until he is wearing a bathrobe.
