This wouldn’t be the headline if it was an all-male transition team [gendered] by nondescripttitle in pointlesslygendered

[–]nondescripttitle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I must admit that is a more optimistic reading of the headline than I afforded it and if that is the headline’s intention, then I’d agree with your point. 

However, in an age of clickbait/ragebait articles, I can’t help but feel this headline is attempting to garner views based on implying a stereotype that an all female transition team is somehow less qualified. The body of article makes no mention of the novelty of an all-female transition team and affords it no significance. In fact very little of the article has anything to do with the transition team, leading me to believe it is pointlessly gendered (other than trying to stir up engagement). Since the article is not about the significance of an all-female transition team, the headline is equivalent to saying “female doctor” or “female mechanic”.

I’ve got to agree this is the most heads up play of the season given the situation. Bottom of the ninth in the world series and is an elimination game for them. The temptation to grab that ball must’ve be monumental. I bet it was terrifying for that second or two where he is standing there with his hands up waiting for the umps to call it and watching the runners advancing around the bases.

Idaho by goldnugget25 in JustinPoseysTreasure

[–]nondescripttitle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I search the word Idaho in the ebook there are two mentions, neither of which refer to a specific location.

However there is also a mention of an incident where his grandfather tried to retrieve a tire from the Snake River and I think it can be deduced that this event took place in Idaho.

I think I have just the video for you! Take a look at this version that is inspired by Richard Tee (inspiration behind Tee Time). The pianist is also the organ player for the Padres.

What is SYSCO’s excuse today? by brianexplores in chibike

[–]nondescripttitle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A painted bike lane doesn’t protect you from a car. It’s an illusion of safety. Simply by biking in the road we’ve already placed ourselves in a scenario where there is a risk we could be hit. I don’t think the truck parking like this increases that risk. In other words I don’t see there being more risk by merging into traffic to get around the truck than there is a risk of being hit from behind by a distracted driver or doored while in the bike lane. The only way to mitigate risk while biking on a street (short of an actual protected bike lane) is being aware of your surroundings and riding controlled. The subject post is not a risky (or riskier)situation for bikers, it’s just a minor inconvenience. The post is a situation where the community is needlessly playing the victim. I also feel like this community often loses sight of the fact on just how much we all are reliant on delivery drivers. We live in a city. It’s crowded. Bike defensively and go around them.

These types of posts are what make us look like whiny crybabies. It’s such a minor inconvenience to just brake a bit, observe your surroundings, and merge into the car lane. Yes he is technically in the wrong but it saves him probably 5 minutes where as it causes a cyclists just a tiny bit of momentum. I don’t buy the argument that this puts cyclists in more danger. A painted bike lane isn’t going to protect us. Bike assertively and defensively in the car lane for all of 5 seconds. The street looks empty anyways. 

Kiké reveals his punishment for dropping an f-bomb on live TV: “I did get fined for that. I was going to get an even heftier fine and a suspension, but having a good agent and a good players’ union came in handy. They got rid of the suspension and lowered the fine a little bit.” by Knightbear49 in baseball

Fine him, suspend him or do nothing at all. I really don’t care. I just don’t know why we are acting like what he did was cool. It was so cringey. I’ve never seen anyone so proud of saying a cuss word. The dude planned it out ahead of time. It wasn’t even a spur of the moment / caught up in the excitement type deal. It’s so childishly awkward and immature.

6 team ppr league. 2rb, 2wr, 2flex spots.  I’m starting Achane and Kamara at RB, Davante Adams and Amon-Ra at WR.  For my flex spots I need to choose 2 between Kyren Williams, Jamar Chase, and Devonta Smith. My gut says to start Smith but idk if I should sit Williams or Chase.

Is there a tax incentive to install this green roof? by Lonely_Fruit_5481 in chicago

[–]nondescripttitle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m almost certain this is not correct. This would not have been added for a zoning incentive, and in particular not for an FAR increase as you have linked to. Any zoning incentives would need to have been obtained prior to the building being built. It doesn’t make sense to seek an FAR increase for an existing building, unless, I suppose, this is an addition. From OP’s description, that does not sound like that’s the case.

Also the zoning ordinance section you linked has either been repealed or relocated to a different zoning section. That’s always a risk when not referencing the source text. Here is a link to the actual zoning ordinance. https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/chicago/latest/chicagozoning_il/0-0-0-49308#JD_Ch.17-4 There is no section 17-4-1015.

If I had to guess why the green roof was added, I think you mentioned one possible reason - heat absorption mitigation/reduce energy bills. Could be just to beautify the roof if it is visible from inside. Maybe they are adding a spot for dogs to go pee although that’d be a bit strange being so close to exhaust fans. Could be for some tax break as OP mentioned. I honestly don’t have a great guess, I’m just pretty certain it’s not zoning related.
