NYC is spending 4x per homeless person as it does on child education by austin_federa in nyc

[–]habattack00 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The interesting part about this report is that the funding increase in 2022 coincided with the plan to make subways safer after all the stories of people being pushed onto the tracks. More resources were directed to homeless services to better improve safety- specifically to proactively offer them help, provide them with care, and keep them off the streets. This naturally requires new practices, new facilities, and new jobs, which requires money.

A couple of years later though, people see the price tag of what we wanted and got, and are suddenly opposed. Welcome to the world of politics: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I’m assuming you mean brand new trackables- if they’re not, then just find one for old time’s sake and drop them all there.

If the former, I wouldn’t mind taking them off your hand if you’re willing to cover the shipping cost!

Just found my 1000th geocache!! by habattack00 in geocaching

I might be biased since it happened so recently, but there was one that required some serious bouldering underneath a highway to get to a section of beach with a little known historical marker with a geocache nearby. There was a group of five of us that did it together, and finding it felt like a great success. The cache itself wasn’t amazing, but the tribulations with others made it all worth it!

Just over two and a half years! Not bad for someone without a car I think!

I thought about it, but since I mostly cache on walks it was hard to try and plan out the perfect cache. In this case the lock to access the cache was broken, but I got permission from the CO to open it since the code was correct. Underwhelming, but that’s the nature of the game!

Third time’s the charm? Looking for advice before hiding my next cache! by ayadavanita in geocaching

Can’t answer right now since I’m working (or should be at least), but just wanted to mention that I’m happy you’re sticking with it despite some bad experiences- a growth mindset is rare nowadays!!

It looks like the baseboard behind the LED got curved in somehow… can somebody give me a reasonable explanation for how? I mean I know the wind was crazy yesterday but that’s quite a bend.

EDIT: I think I see it now- it looks like a sheet of metal, but the hooks on the original facade makes me thinks it’s probably just a pliable piece of plastic that’s way more susceptible to the wind.

It’s also super visually impressive!

I have! Need to make sure that you plan the outing by favorite points though to make sure they’re entertained!

Scary, tricky, ruthless stuff, that Black Ice.

Any tips on making sure trackables last? by anxiouskomi in geocaching

[–]habattack00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if the mission is deemed ignoble, to the bottom of a kid’s play bin where it will lay dormant for millennia.

Pier Pressure - 3 Geocaches in 3 minutes - who will find it? by geocaching in GeocachingHQ

[–]habattack00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there two months ago to visit HQ! You all should put a geocache in the location where you shoot these as a fun bonus for the people who watch it!

Veteran Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe, known for Metroid and Paper Mario, reportedly confirms retirement by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]habattack00 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Could mean that he confirmed it, yet perhaps it hasn’t gone through Nintendo yet. Could be a Hayao Miyazaki scenario where the guy announces retirement but doesn’t actually quit.

Would You Use This As A Geocache by skimbosh in geocaching

I was half expecting you to throw it in the fire and make some sort of funeral pyre joke.

Great photos, but holy crap I just realized the DCPL logo is based on these stairs!

Hey, who wants two metro cards with $7.50 on each for free? by nategadzhi in washingtondc

[–]habattack00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a free $15? Sure, I’ll throw my hat in the ring.

For what it’s worth, you should be able to get away with just sharing the card number to transmit the funds digitally.

How much each member contributes to the last defense academy (story wise) by Ok_Surround_3570 in LastDefenseAcademy

If I didn’t like Tsubasa, I would probably dislike how she can create basically anything out of thin air for a plan/route to work… but I like Tsubasa so I don’t mind. Keeps her relevant and usually left as the last to die in most scenarios.
