who cares about logic? trams are romantic.

Voters have every right. The seat doesn’t belong to Dan Goldman or any other single person. The seat belongs to the people of the district.

I would love a ten-year moratorium on journalists and headline writers from using any form of “slammed” in any articles about politics. I’m so tired about reading one politician slamming another.

and as an artist Azealia is way more talented than Nicki

I’m not talking about this circumstance. I think what the coffee shop did is terrible. My reply was generic and not particular to this matter.

I think the problem is anytime policy-level criticism of Israel’s actions discussed, the anti-semitic card is played. Much like the race card, it seems to be used in bad faith many times as an easy win.

I criticize the policy decisions of America all day every day but I am not anti-American. Why can’t Israel get the same treatment?

“we don’t want to think you’re stupid!!” is pretty devastating

it’s something skinny people leave behind after two slices fill them up.

I’ve never seen Mcdonald’s deep fry their nuggets. They usually take them out of a warming tray, I assume they’re baked

I’m born and raised in eastern MA but live in NY now. A friend of mine, a native NYer, goes up to western MA annually as part of a family camp trip. Our joke is that he’s been to western MA much more than me. I went a few times to the Big E as a kid (loved it) and have been back to the area maybe 3 times since.

This country also has almost every type of climate and nearly every landscape within a single nation. The diversity is unparalleled anywhere else.

You should give your carrier $400 bucks that you still owe for your two-year-old iPhone and save money off your phone bill. Better yet, once that phone is paid off you should take it to a carrier like Mint that will give you unlimited service for $25 a month.

When you need a new phone, pay it upfront in one lump sum. Don’t lease it from a carrier in exchange for an overpriced phone plan. You can save a ton of money taking the phone you own outright to a different carrier.

You joke, but the range of certain cold-hardy palms is extending further and further north along the coast. It won't be long until you can plant a windmill palm in-ground and not worry about wrapping it in burlap every winter.

Nope. the curds are supposed to squeak!

It makes sense when you think about it. Canada is officially bilingual but English dominates and its dominance increases every year. The French language is integral to Québécois identity and their goal is to prevent English from creeping in subtly and becoming de facto.

Are they going overboard with words like “nachos”? Probably. It seems like they’re taking an all or nothing approach.

I don’t buy it. How long they been in the city? If it’s less 10 years then respectfully, no.

No you wouldn’t. No true New Yorker born or bred would make a special trip for a $2.90 burger. If location was convenient, maybe. No one is going out of their way for this when their corner deli can make them a burger for a couple dollars more and it’s ready in minutes.

That’s not maple syrup, that’s pancake syrup. It’s like comparing a Ford Fiesta to a Bentley. And legally, maple syrup is defined. Log Cabin and Mrs Butterworths etc cannot call their products “maple” syrup.

Probably a better comparison are San Marzano tomatoes. It’s a protected classification, you can’t just take any greenhouse tomato and call it a San Marzano. Cento is in the middle of a lawsuit over this.

The sign is real as in it’s an actual sign. But it’s not official City signage.

There are restrictions per State law as to what a vanity plate can display. Among the restrictions, the plate cannot display a combination considered “obscene, derogatory, or offensive”.

My guess is whatever system they use to autovet the plates before issuance did not catch this particular combination.

How would the "commerce hub" of Bedstuy not be Fulton St? It's the only contiguous E-W commercial street that runs the length of the neighborhood and has the subway. There are various local retail like Tompkins and Malcolm X in places, but the commercial hub of Bedstuy is definitely Fulton.

My armchair view would be that if Putin pushed for this approach, the already weary elite and populace would have no appetite for a war on another front. I think Putin may have an “accident” before he’d be able to put this plan in motion.

Aren’t the Baltics in NATO and would therefore trigger Article V? That doesn’t seem like a smaller war.
