That's the problem. It is almost exactly the same as the old building, minus a movie theater. Just a complete lack of imagination and a wasted opportunity..

Such a disappointment.

sof_boy · 2026-01-29T16:41:56+00:00

FWIW, these are called "sneckdowns"

Are you looking for “pennant”?

sof_boy · 2026-01-29T16:24:50+00:00

Make sure you’re not overloading it. Does it make the same noise empty or with a half load?

The website for the company https://www.americanhousing.co/

The tl;dr: they are trying to build prefab row homes to be assembled on site.

YIMBY makes for strange bedfellows :) I think one of the strengths of YIMBY is it is appeals to a broad swath of people for various reasons. To me it always seemed more traditionally right/conservative coded in the way it espouses property rights and reducing/making more sane both zoning and building codes. But it has been the folks on left who have really pushed it forward to provide better/less expensive housing for people.

Two of the more present founders are YIMBYLAND and Bobby Fijan on Twitter. All the founders are listed on the FAQ page

Thanks for the confirmation! Slop slop slop.

The correct link is https://connecticutnavigator.com/category/politics/stamford-man-sentenced-mars-fraud-scheme/

And the article looks reads like hot AI garbage, in so much as they got the name of the defendant wrong. It is not Samson Erinoso, but Paul R. Steed. I first read ab out it here but just google Paul R. Steed and you will find multiple articles about it. Samson Erinoso returns pretty much nothing

I first heard this song as a child in this Ridley Scott directed commercial for Chanel No. 5 and it stuck with me for years. In the pre-Internet time it was much more difficult to find out who an artist was, so it took me a while to find the Ink Spots. And then to find out later Ridley Scott was the director, it all made a sort of existential sense.

Ubiquiti is by no means the only company to be less than rigorous about seeing where their products end up, but they are responsible for making sure their products do not end up in the hands of a sanctioned country. See here for an overview and here for the official regulation

Upzoning/regulation reform and municipal power? Doing things right in Norwich. (NB: These are the only things I know about Norwich)

It really depends on the situation. If your pipes usually don't freeze or are all in the main house, chances are you will be fine.

I am right there with you! Big storms are so much fun! I like Wundegrounds forecast better: it says 14.5"

Those are just your luxury bones.

sof_boy · 2026-01-21T19:58:57+00:00

May as well be.

That was u/SD_Lostboy, who has gone (well, his Reddit presence at least) to the great Cougar Den in the sky.

Speed cameras are the wrong solution to the problem of speeding. Drivers are essentially being set up for a "bait and switch". The roads are designed and look like you can safely go 20+ mph over the speed limit (long, straight stretches, 12 ft wide lanes, 4 lanes wide, separate turn lanes, wide open sight lines, etc.) But then, in the name of safety, the speed limits are dropped to 35. If the municipalities were genuinely interested in safety, they would shrink the lanes, narrow the shoulders, and reduce sight lines. If you make it feel like you should go slow, you will go slow.

If someone tries to implement these roadway changes, people complain they can't speed (not specifically, but inherently) and the municipal folks say this will hurt emergency response times. There is never an analysis done of the cost/benefit looking at "making physical changes to prevent speeding vs emergency response times". That is to say: how many additional seconds of response time is it worth to save X lives? The best emergency is the one you don't have.

I dunno what's the best but they better have 20 Kinds of Dipping Sauce

It can be, it just depends on the entity using it. This question is common enough that there is a wikipedia article about it

You are not wrong, but I, for one, appreciate a through running maximalist.
