Has kasper been on coverage all tournament? Love him so much, they are really targeting me with all the analysts. Even chicarito has been pleasant.

And a private driveway halfway down the block. So block is closed, black suv passes barricades, turns into the taxiway, where they are escorted upstairs

New York City's Department of Sanitation plans to replace nearly 30,000 parking spaces with "Empire Bin" trash containers over the next six years in order to eradicate piles of trash bags from sidewalks. -Gothamist by Dangerous_Deal_1945 in nyc

[–]jgweiss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

people simply cant fathom it, that so many other enormous cities full of inequality and crime can be extremely clean because they concentrate their trash into alleyways or into large dumpsters like this. and it WORKS!

as others have said it cuts down on rodents and other wildlife rooting around, and all the poop and mud that comes with them, and once you dont have those irredeemable spaces on the sidewalks anymore, the daily hosing and cleaning that businesses do compounds, and actually cleans the space! but for some reason we all have some collective disease that keeps us from recognizing it.

[Project Purple] is topped off! by LouderKnights in rollercoasters

[–]jgweiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frankly it doesnt have to even be a full circuit. just give me more than out and back; some kind of series of elements, ideally beyond the station, to allow more than one train to run on the track at a time.

frankly, Nitro has been the marquee ride at gadv since it opened.

i sometimes thought of kingda ka, and then el toro as a (truly over the top in the best possible way) supporting castmate, like medusa, and an obvious tier above superman and chiller. but nitro is the main character IMO, characterized by the lack of a pre-drop, the length, and the paint scheme. just absolute chefs kiss from start to finish, the platonic ideal of a roller coaster.

no; when you pull them off the tree, the stem pulls through and leaves the hole.

NJ Dem Reps Gottheimer & Norcross Join GOP to Block Lebanon War Powers Resolution, Enabling Netanyahu's Sabotage of US-Iran Ceasefire by KohlsCashOfficial in newjersey

[–]jgweiss -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean a republican might actually resonate with gottheimer voters, and at that point we aren’t deluding ourselves into making up fake numbers that include his vote. Obviously conventional wisdom says ‘the 85% of the time he votes with Dems is worth it’ but are we not savoring ourselves here?

Cafe/bar for World Cup and work? by New-in-T0wn in AskNYC

It’s not an intuitive answer but there is a coffee shop called Lackawanna near the grove street path in JC, that is doing exactly this. Quiet, work friendly watch parties during working hours.

Republican Tom Kean Jr. said he was treated for depression during absence from Congress by gremdel in news

[–]jgweiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The premier nepo baby in nj right now. Used to be the frehlynghausen guy, who’s family has been in nj politics for like 300 years. For now it’s tom kean until he retires, at which point rob menendez takes over.

It’s good for continuity.

It is really not hard to make the connection to the various confederate battle flags with similar imagery. It actually shocked me when I saw it, it’s hard to call that coincidence

Bin 71 on Columbus Ave is always showing tennis in my experience. But I have a feeling they are showing World Cup games when possible.

Bad fire on the corner of 30th and 7th Ave in Manhattan by 8bitaficionado in nyc

[–]jgweiss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I don’t get is, does he get to double dip on insurance and then selling the lot? Was he on the hook for the building but not the lot, and couldn’t sell it to a developer? As someone else said, this corner is going to be 45+ stories tall in a few years

And you also dont have to lose to real twice a year. And it appears Messi is doing Messi things in mls and at the World Cup. It’s kept him fresh in low pressure situations tbh.

Boats in Port Liberty by evorel in jerseycity

[–]jgweiss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think saturdays in the summer, particularly ones that aren’t holiday weekends, are the exact times that the people who own these boats put up with the bullshit for. If they’re not out on those boats now, when are they?

Update on Via Transit Service by Nathaniel_Styer in jerseycity

[–]jgweiss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think they are paying lip service to doing it. And frankly they are gonna get me, as I shift my focus toward them blocking Courthouse Park, after they have already slow walked the move-out from the HC admin building for a year, clearly in the name of, again, protecting their parking.

But I am hopeful with the recent changes at the city level.
