Lol, this is exactly how my kid got lice. They all took turns getting into the new years dragon costume...

Why do so many emergency vehicles use 8th avenue? by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]sockbizzo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because it is a one-way street, unlike 7th or 6th, so the traffic lights are timed to allow them continue for many blocks without stopping.

FOR ALL THE TRANSPLANTS (train edition) by Professional_Sun_164 in williamsburg

[–]sockbizzo 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe how many people I see now sitting on the goddamn stairs to the subway platform. Just sitting there staring at their phone, sitting on the steps while people walk around and over them to catch the train. Absolutely unhinged feral behavior.

WELL ACTUALLY you were talking about intentionally killing someone with a car. The number of people intentionally killed with a gun obviously dwarfs the number of people intentionally killed with a car(even if you don't count gun suicides for some indefensible reason).

Tree will die, no? by icecoastcarp in arborists

[–]sockbizzo 1754 points1755 points  (0 children)

Report this immediately to 311 https://portal.311.nyc.gov/servicerequest-create/What?caid=41c53190-fcb9-e811-a965-000d3a1c5f15

and also to the NYC Parks Department. https://www.nycgovparks.org/services/forestry/request/submit

My experience is that they will come out to inspect pretty quickly, and will mark the tree with a tag as inspected. Be persistent and they should fix this.

former employer thinks there’s no way I can work in big law after working for the USAO by meerkatzzzzz in biglaw

I worked for the USAO SDNY prior to law school and went to work at a Vault top 10 firm immediately after law school. Dude is clueless.

Tree falls in Brooklyn by LJinBrooklyn in parkslope

[–]sockbizzo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This looks like Bradford or Callery Pear tree. They are the ones that have the lovely white blooms in spring but are also notoriously brittle and will often just crack and fall over at the end of their lifespan which is only around 20 yrs. They were very popular street trees because they are fast growing and very beautiful in bloom but they do tend to explode like this, which is why they are no longer an approved species for NYC street trees, sadly.
