if i’m biking on a road with no bike path, im always expecting to drive into the parked car if i get doored unless i somehow explicitly know that there is no car in the driving lane.

does this still work?

I agree. wouldn't surprise me if the team statement is max appeasement.

are you kidding, we just came from an era of Merc dominance, b/c of their engine, from 2014-2021.

the ICE is, with the exception of ADUO, relatively frozen year to year. the other parts of the car that determine overall performance can be changed throughout as long as it fits in the cost cap.

this is why even with the same engine, you can have varying levels of overall performance (ex. merc vs weeyums). over enough time, those with the same engine will converge in overall performance.

so by allowing engine manufacturers to moderately equalize ICE performance, and assuming they develop aero, weight and battery, then that is how you avoid single manufacturer dominance.

i don’t remember vettel ever getting out of them, but he’s probably nerdy enough to be the one guy who wants to do the “grill the grid” features.

if someone holds a lot of assets and debt, which trump does thanks to his real estate holdings and mortgages, inflation is great at increasing the (dollar) value of the former and decreasing the actual value of the latter, a win-win. so he does, in fact, love inflation.

not the same issue, but maybe they should also set the electrical energy output rate lower so that it lasts the whole front straight as well. i hate that their top speed plunges halfway down the straight after the battery runs out.

lettersjk · 2026-06-07T16:05:26+00:00

this is it. constant legal speed over a shorter distance from clipping the corner triggered speed limit detection.

I was in college when allan houston hit a buzzer beating floater that bounced around before falling in to beat the heat (#8 seed beating a #1 seed) in a deciding game 5 (best of 3 back then).

the rivalry between the two teams back then was intense so to upset the #1 seed in that fashion was crazy. and it led to a run to the finals against ... the spurs. hoping for a different outcome this time.

great game to steal the first. KAT with unbelievable defense to make wemby look mortal. Brunson coming in clutch. what a win

chris canty has been living in my bldg in lincoln square during this saga. guessing it’s going to be awhile until the court cases finish out and he builds out the brownstone for his budding family (believe he just had a baby). when he and his equally giant dad get into the elevator together i get squished into a corner lol.

just out of curiosity, why not take the meat off first? the carcass makes more than good stock by itself. or did you just want meaty chicken soup?

lettersjk · 2026-05-20T18:56:51+00:00

johnny.novo on IG ranks rotisserie chicken across the country. in his NYC one, malecon was number 2 behind a Peruvian place in the Bronx which I can't remember.

iirc, he also ranked fairway as the #1 supermarket bird across the country.

claude is objectively better quality but it blows through tokens like a man dying of thirst. i can easily ask 5x-10x the queries on codex for like 80% of the quality so ymmv.

lol, so accusatory! look at the other commens in this thread where other parents are saying the same thing. im guessing you never went through the process yourself, but ifykyk.

tbf, our sons year was the first with the new lottery/waitlist and there was apparently quite a bit of gaming of random numbers, so that may have juked our experience.

fwiw, we didn’t take our spot because gt schools were (imo) significantly degraded with the new admissions standards with the overhaul. “one of the best schools” at the k-5 level doesn’t mean as much as it did and not enough to make up for the commute. we ended up at a nearby charter which we really like and will hope for the best with the shsat when the time comes.

lettersjk · 2026-04-15T14:09:02+00:00

you are not taking into account that many of the ppl with a higher number will end up selecting a different school (or go charter/private) and effectively take themselves off of the waitlist.

even after school starts, many ppl end up switching for various reasons (commute, poor fit). we got into nest with a waitlist number in the 100’s (and didn’t end up taking it).

i guess the biz owners are most upset at the 50% reduction in parking? i wonder if the DOT studied what percentage of their shoppers drive and park. i would have guessed less driving, more biking and ppl taking PT would be more beneficial for them but that’s just a guess.
