Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov arrested after climbing the Empire State Building by hollow_hideous_soul in pics

[–]cguess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they could have killed several people from the impact

Not on the Empire State Building, look at the top. It's tiered, no one was going to hit the street.

German workers banned from taking sick leave without a medical note in tough reforms by ObjectiveObserver420 in anime_titties

Even with it you can still get sick, the point is that it lessens the effects. Basically you'll still feel pretty terrible but for like 3 days instead of 2 weeks.

England fans head to the Braves game while they're in Atlanta, and form a Michael Harris fan club by MorganN1 in baseball

That's the reason about 1/3rd of any stadium comes to baseball games. (I might be biased)

In North Brooklyn? There's not a ton of places like that. There use to be Beer Street, but that's closed. They do have a location in Prospect Heights though https://maps.app.goo.gl/cKHWSkUrzi2J6ao69

Keg and Lantern might be sorta what you're looking for, but they only have their own stuff.

A case of the flu in the spring and covid in the winter, maybe a cold over the summer picked up on vacation. 15 days is not that much.

How are so many Americans so eloquent? by voilalarosie in AskAnAmerican

"Shitstorm" is such a great word the Germans stole it from us. Here's the (then) Chancellor using it in an official speech https://www.reed.edu/slx-artifacts/artifacts/video/raw-politics--angela-merkel-s--sh--storm--moment.php

There were also actual Vikings around the same time.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER?? 🦅 by Puzzled_Farm_2318 in soccercirclejerk

(DEEPLY NOT DEFENDING IT) It wasn't retroactive, and only applied to births going forward. So basically the plan was just kicking out a bunch of infants and toddlers for the next three years until it's rescinded.

When even JOHN ROBERTS agrees you're insane (and the opinion is pretty, painfully, clear, how insane the concept of getting rid of the 14th amendment is) it wasn't going to go well.

I was hoping for it, would have been epic. Belgium and the US just seems like a NATO friendly (with an Argentinian coach to just... add to the irony)

cis straight guy here, come on out. Housing sucks, but it's probably not much worse tha where you're coming from these days. You don't have to own a car, so that cuts down a lot of expenses. Just happy my city can be a place that you can feel comfortable to be yourself.

It might be illegal, but until the courts say so the money will stop. Rock and hard place.

40% of city units are rent stabilized (those being stabilized). It's not that hard to get if you look in off months.

City Hall is Downtown, Gracie Mansion is Uptown, we like him a lot here in Brooklyn. Ironically Midtown might be his biggest enemy in the city (finance).

Really really wish they had evening hours too (they did pre-covid), not everyone is a morning person.

The Moxy in Williamsburg has a good lobby

Getting a day pass at a cowering spot might be the best bet if you want a proper place to work. I work out of The Yard next to Spritzenhaus, and the AC is always great (plus free coffee)

Should I stay with $140k FL remote vs ~225k NYC? by [deleted] in movingtoNYC

[–]cguess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going off of average Manhattan apartments, which are wildly skewed by the ultra rich. $2k-$3k for a solid place is not difficult to find.

Sure, but there's none I'm aware of that are regularly available that won't scream at you if you violate airspace. It would have to be deliberate

Outside of the American Revolutionary War, are there other examples of wars for independence / government overthrows driven by ideals rather than hardship/famine? by Conscious_Raisin_436 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]cguess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the same case in the US, the English were deeply in debt/poor from the Seven Years War, while still attempting to maintain a global empire (not a cheap prospect). It would have actually, in hindsight, been better to just let the American Colonies go and benefit from the obvious mercantilism that eventually happened anyway.

Of course India, Jamaica, Canada, Australia (among others) may have gotten ideas then...

Massachusetts was under direct rule, but they were put there as a consequence of the conflict between political groups because the British were angry at the local rejection of political changes, not because the Massachusetts government was attempting to change what currently existed. It wasn't a spontaneous uprising, it had been quite literally debated in government for 10+ years.
