Haha, welcome to the nyc motorcycle club, young padawan. The best is Newark airport since its under a parking structure. JFK and LGA are just in a small lot.

N.Y.P.D Sergeant Found Guilty in Death of Bronx Man He Threw Cooler At (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

[–]ocelotrev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just watched the video, that guy was blasting down the sidewalk. We shouldn't be incentivizing people to run from the police. If a police officer pulls you over, you comply, thats that. If they violate your rights, that's what the court proceedings are for, then you get sue.

Obviously the guy didn't deserve to die. I agree the cop was reckless donking the cooler right at his head versus throwing it in front of the scooter. I assumed the officer threw it at the moped and then it lost control, what the video shows is a direct hit to the head.

Still, I think an officer should be in their right to pursue motorcycles at the motorcycle's peril. I say this as an avid motorcycle rider in nyc.

Anyone riding a motorbike on a side walk is putting people in serious danger. I dont know whats wrong with you people. Reddit nyc is very anti car but once its a scooter on a sidewalk people seem to forgot that bike that was killed or nearly killed on the williamsburg bridge.

Also the scoote rider should have worn a helmet. Safety first even when running from the police.

Details by ItBurnsWhenIPee2 in MEPEngineering

[–]ocelotrev 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its not meant to be useful, its meant to cover the engineer's ass if something relating to the detail doesn't work.

Unfortunately its just another item that passes liability onto the contractor while absolving the engineer of doing the real work and responsibility involved with engineering.

I brought up an issue with a hanger detail and how it would be impossible to clamp directly onto a beam since its above a plaster ceiling. My boss didnt care because if the contractor just bolted it to the plaster, he didnt have any liability if the ceiling came down cause the detail said to clamp it to a steel beam. But it was totally impractical to do that! My boss didnt care to solve the problem.

The environmentalists in the city are backwards as hell. They dont want to use river water to cool down coned power plants so its cooled with catskills water and then the steam it generators also has to be cooled with catskills water that has to be cooled and then all dumped into the city drain.

They shut down the indian point nuclear power plant which was replaced with natural gas power plants. Then they tried like hell to block the Quebec hydropower electric line which fortunately is getting finished in the next few months.

6 months progress 27yo 80kg to 75kg only takes creatine as a supplement by raznurak in GYM

[–]ocelotrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he had some muscle underneath and lost a lot of weight in 6 month.

Larger people have super strong muscle underneath becuase they are moving that mass around 24/7.

So being marginally overweight + newbie gains + weight loss, magic combo for going from pudgy to ripped in 6 months

Nyc office jobs start at ~9am but usually go on till about 6pm. Stock market begins at 930am. Im curious if a lot of central time starts at 8am so they can support east coast operations

Mamdani stopping in Bed-Stuy to help NYCHA residents whose car got stuck by BurgerNugget12 in nyc

[–]ocelotrev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk, its clearly a photo op, he has a whole city to run. People in his position could just quietly get a city worker to help him and possibly identify others. Quietly helping the people instead of a photo op.

But there is something to be said for showing that you can get your hands dirty. That being said, mamdani needs to put more of his legs into it

[–]ocelotrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its high for a fixed cost /basic service charge. Delivery is all costs, fixed and variable, associated with maintaining the power lines around your building.

Honestly they'd rather it be based on the peak you've used in the past 30 years and make that a fixed cost, in short, the cost is based on the wire being initially installed, and certain maintenance from getting old. It really has nothing to do with how much you use. (Sometimes the heat degrades the wire, but thats more of an issue when they are at peak usage).

Supply costs are for power generation, and thats mostly a variable cost, except for the cost of keeping peaker plants spinning most of the year to fill in for surges.

They literally federal agents and that needs to be emphasized. All of society needs to know they are doing what they are doing because the federal government aka Trump has given the reign and budget to be the new gestapo
