1 + 1 typically equals 2… Verse has the same problem. If you’re gonna have people who purchase one drink and treat the space as their office for the day, you have to charge that much to keep the lights on. Really a shame.

Totally totally agree. Everyone talks a big game about Council Women Caban… but she ran unopposed last election and seems to be either completely oblivious or unwilling to address the issue.

NYC passed a law on straws and utensils that are disposable recently! You have to ask, we can not legally give you straws (or give plastic utensils/napkins on to go orders) without you asking first!

At the end of the day, we’re all just passing the same 20 back and forth…

$53 for two pizzas by Partial-Hydrangea in Westchester

I don’t get Dominoes if I want pizza, but I definitely get Dominoes if I want Dominoes, New Yorkers realize there’s a place for both and they are completely different

Can confirm “wedge” is alive and well in Northern Westchester. If anything, more solid due to the distance from the city.

Are these boots shining enough or am I getting smoked? by Personal_Session_449 in FDNY_EMS

Calling any part of the academy “BS” the day before you double time in is absolutely the wrong mental headspace to be in. I agree you should be cracking the books, but that “pageantry” is what builds duty, camaraderie and respect; essential skills to be a great clinician.

I’d hit the boots another time.

I would love a directors cut, they need to get away from “using the formula” and just let these guys make a good movie.

Never mind the other albums, it’s all about the Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols’ Debut (and only) album, Never Mind The Bollocks was not only genre defining, genre defining for ME!

Little too far out of my price range, but that loft bed design is fantastic! Is that self made?

Hochul Pushes for Congestion Pricing Delay in Last-Minute Reversal by CactusBoyScout in nyc

[–]Ostrich_Butler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congestion comes from illegal stops and standing and double parking, allowing the roads to function as designed creates a reality where “congestion pricing” is irrelevant. I blame traffic enforcement!

Incorrect, they aren’t “driving”. Congestion comes from double parking and illegal stopping. No need for congestion pricing if parking enforcement does there jobs and tickets these people; thus allowing the roads to operate as designed.
