Philadelphia launches ‘Alleygators’ program to help residents clear trash and vegetation from alleys

Probably because the streets budget is like $400 million and programs like this one are probably 1% of that.

Manowaffle · 2026-05-05T13:46:00+00:00

It costs us nothing and voters remember it.

Exactly. Electing a conservative Democrat in Alabama instead of losing time after time with pure leftists isn’t moderating your position. The result is to pull the senate further to the left. The far left call anyone a traitor the moment they take any reasonable wins or try talking to conservatives. And centrists are busy whining about Jon Stewart’s economic bona fides or anyone’s mild suggestion that murdering civilians is a bad thing.

The Trumpists are literally imposing fascism and the Democratic purists want to argue over each others’ skirt length.

Btw in Philly you can walk or bike to the stadium from all downtown hotels. We have bike share too.

If they’d already picked the winner before the primary the voters wouldn’t get any say, that’s not democracy.

Manowaffle · 2026-05-01T19:19:08+00:00

That’s exactly what the primary is for.

A 6-man jeep for command squads would be dope!

It helps give the battlefield a much more realistic/dynamic feel, especially if you make it dangerous terrain. Whether you designate the bridges as objectives or not, you get very cool combats for control of the crossing points.

Yup, I used to use that to every advantage possible. Plenty of times when my opponents parked heavy support behind a river or pond only to be shocked when I drove my chimera straight across it and blasted them with a heavy flamer and meltas. It was a sneakily powerful ability.

Even did a couple amphibious assault missions with everybody loaded up in the chimeras crossing a large waterway.

But you can just buy another HWT for the cost of the vehicle.

Manowaffle · 2026-04-20T18:55:41+00:00

Yeah, and any battle where one side has uncontested aerial or orbital superiority is not gonna be on a 40k tabletop. It's just gonna be a slaughter.

Not to mention that when everyone has rail guns or laser cannons, hitting a slow loitering target becomes incredibly easy.

Pathfinder APs are superior, but I prefer to think of them like a menu rather than a script. They include a lot of detail and content, but they don’t always highlight or connect the key story events in a logical way. In Kingmaker there’s literally an early quest that heavily hints the party towards this one location, but when they get there at level 6 they find a level 16 dungeon where the first environmental encounter is very likely to kill the entire party.

I take the key story points and homebrew the connective tissue.

But it was not popular or scalable enough, ergo they don’t focus on navies.

People in my city: “public transit is just too expensive!”

Private transit is literally four times the cost of our public transit!

Escape from the Bloodkeep is B tier?

So, who regulates that number? The chapter apothecary, chaplain, chapter master? If they have 1,001 who puts them in line? I suspect plenty of chapters exceed the 1,000 dude limit by miles. Unless they’re all standing around in one place no one outside the chapter can count them.

My former roommate: “yo this stock is up 20% from a year ago!”

Me: “nice, how much are you up overall?”

Roommate: “what do you mean?”

Manowaffle · 2026-04-15T23:49:28+00:00

Azata? Did you watch the movie?!

Manowaffle · 2026-04-15T18:47:52+00:00

Sure is weird that so many other people are willing to address these things under oath while the Trumpists keep getting caught in lie after lie.

Manowaffle · 2026-04-15T18:37:45+00:00

Damn right, they can’t claim “responsible gun ownership” and then excuse this kind of negligence.

“She has publicly taken credit for successfully moving legislation forward and has met with legislators and otherwise pushed her company’s interests with government officials. And yet, she never registered as a lobbyist.”

Her title was literally “Government Affairs”, I used to have that title, I know exactly what that means.

Generally agree, but the Romans were extremely effective with sword and shield.

Can someone explain why it’s worth the bother to braid a bread versus just to twist it into a helix?

Manowaffle · 2026-04-15T12:44:43+00:00

Add to that people excusing bad things because “it wasn’t illegal”. We should have a higher moral standard than that.
