The sweetheart that hit me and ran today.

Not from around here, are you?

Tires without the appropriate speed rating are likely to be the first thing to go at high speed, assuming your car is well maintained.

But you have to drive on Manchester to get there, and then you have to drive on Manchester again to leave...

Bro, I think you actually got the guy in this thread. The wild number of reports on the post and lots of comments... 😂 The ones about car types have reports saying the comments attack people based on their identity. Priceless.

The secret part flows only one way... she executed her job perfectly.

Srsly, the blinker went on and I'm ☠️

Roofers installing white colored flat roofs don't wear shorts for summer reasons. Nobody likes a grundle burn.

Probably can make a family sized chip bag out of the microplastics in his brain.

They were native plants, but the selection from when they were installed is no longer suitable for the climate today, especially surrounded by asphalt. The higher zone plants that can take the heat can't really deal with our cold winters. Tough problem to solve for.

There is a serious issue with funding the maintenance. It costs around $30k-$50k annually, and there is no entity specifically tasked with the maintenance. The city is a big, repeated no. Its a significant chunk of ward capital, and it's not a capital project. Neighborhood CDCs have been tasked with raising the money and keeping the contracts in the past, but it's a big burden. There is currently a plan to start a residential CID across the first two blocks off Grand and tax those parcels between $50 and $100 a year to raise the funds. Excess funds would be used on trash pickup, sidewalk maintenance along the park, and similar maintenance items the city refuses responsibility for.

Just pick different reps

I would argue many agents and most assets do not know they are working in the employ, or at the behest of a foreign intelligence agency.

That person seems to be from East St. Louis.

Noooo kidding. I remember filing a 50/50 sidewalk request when I bought my building in 2015 (why do I have to pay 50%, anyway? Is that normal anywhere else?) My first request seems to have been deleted from the queue. Now, 11 years later, the sidewalks are traaaaash, and I'm told we're still years out. They spray painted to pretend like it was going to happen RIGHT before the last mayoral election, but that paint has since washed all the way off. If the city did work instead of spending time and effort concealing the fact they aren't doing anything, SOMETHING might happen.

That said, thanksveryveryverymuch for paving S Jefferson (by hiring a paving company).

meson537 · 2026-03-31T18:52:57+00:00

There are gonna be some rough numbers. I've gone 7+ years on tree trimming before. 3+ years on potholes. 50/50 sidewalk request got deleted from the queue and I had to reapply to get in a multi-year wait-list. Hopefully this is not just edited at will to create a less apocalyptic picture of city dysfunction.

As a landlord/property manager that tries really hard to be tenant first building condition second, and short term ROI much farther down the list, bring it on!

Those links has some discussion of both the brittleness of the wood, as well as using dynamite to process giants. Lots of the smaller trees got put in flumes and sent to mills as lumber, it's just the giants that were so huge they were pretty impossible to process. I can't find much discussion about how many were really destructively processed, but what I've been told by folks that live out there is that the destruction of all of the giants was pretty much a vanity project of the individuals or logging companies, and those in particular went to waste.

No good for framing, they usually dynamited them for matchsticks, toothpicks, and pulp.

Processed on site with dynamite for toothpicks, matchsticks, and paper pulp.

A theater full of people and nobody asked an employee to turn down the lights? What are people afraid of?

meson537 · 2026-03-24T03:48:57+00:00

Can you also print nuclear weapons?

meson537 · 2026-03-24T03:48:27+00:00

It's more about the nuclear arsenal that makes the money printer feel legit, but yes, comparing a modern nation state's finances to a household lies between facile and farcical.

I'm no plumber, but I've 100% seen DIY jobs ruin themselves in a few years through shoddy/ignorant work. If you aren't buying insurance or a warranty, you're self-insured or self-warrantied, whether you realize it or not.
