I at least appreciate the notice. I forget about annular but it's neat to see one happened almost exactly 1 year ago on the Oct 14th. I'm aware of the April 8 total though

Meant as sarcasm, but I get it

It's probably a split decade of 75-85. The 80s are probably worse by raw volume, the 70s are probably worse per capita. It all depends on which stats you look at. It also depends on what's reported. Supposedly, part of Giuliani's improvement comes from recategorizing crimes into untracked categories. Losing money would also have a delayed effect as the missing funds trickle down

The graves on Hart Island are over a century old. NYC is huge and lots of people die without anyone to handle their body. It's unfortunate framing of the island's use when people suddenly wanted to pay attention. The morgue trucks were real to isolate covid bodies, I will add. But the island didn't exactly do anything differently than be a graveyard like it was since the Civil War

Just a friendly quiet older guy who chokes on pretzels like the rest of us at best, puppet for war profiteers at worst. Certainly not really responsible for any of the travesties related to him. He was just reading a book to children.

Rear view cameras have been federally required on passenger vehicles since module year 2018 in the US market. So yeah, regardless of the error, it's a recall because the result makes the vehicle noncompliant.

NY metro here at the time. He was close to being shunned by 2001. He wasn't performing well, he wasn't that smart, he wasn't effective. Then 9/11/01 we suddenly all had to band together. Nothing saves a term in office like massive tragedy in which everyone is emotionally charged and any act of rebuilding is "doing their best". His platform prior to that was that he was tough on crime and took credit for a drop, but you can see the trend started prior to his terms and there was a national drop as well, so it's not his sole doing. The 80s were a terrible time in NYC, way more dangerous than whatever fears the right enstills in their following today. Plus, statewide/nation wide impression of him won't match the city's impression, since he was still conservative. I will say, he wasn't as far into conservatism in his policies as he and his cohorts are now. So while he may not have been as favorable across the board, he wasn't so polarizing.

While I can see lots of things like drunk windows and droopy rooflines, this really doesn't strike me as obviously AI. Have you ever been to a mountain town of former coal glory? PA/WV has many towns like that. 150-year old buildings fighting frost heaves, people tacking on decks just to bring a little joy, signs that look 50 year sout of place. Sucks that AI has so much overlap with a poor town of 200 people.

Seems like it's up there with the killdozer Fandom. Casual terrorism... Or living the American dream?

Dropping in and not having to get back up to speed with a game has become more important to my gaming life than I wish it was. I don't have time to change it. Even minimal-story games like Valheim or Elite: Dangerous have become too cumbersome because I have to spend a bunch of time figuring out what I did last, what I need to gather, and what I need to build to progress. I can either go mine/sail iron in Valheim, I can hope my pirate hunter ship and pirate activity are close to where I last docked... Or I can just play some basic game and take 5 minutes to get up to speed instead of spending the first 45 minutes recalibrating my memory. It makes a difference when you might only play 3 times a week and have less than 2 hours left. I'm hoping next year goes better, but for now, it's battle Royale, team match, or racing games.

Obviously, there's a massive competitive attractiveness for some people to games like PUBG and CS as well. But it's not all trigger-finger addicts. Some of us are just trying to have an OK time, not the best time.

The pizza boy union filed too many reports about closed roads and having to find another way home

We know there's users who want the cover but will never think it's possible there's one built in already.
