All in the name of South Floridian votes. The Dems will (hopefully) eventually realize they lost that state years ago and stop doing dumb shit for votes.
Who knows, though? The American empire's thirst for blood and foreign suffering often seems bottomless.
It's Idaho, so I can only assume someone with MAGA brainworms will attempt to roll coal through the middle of it in a giant lifted truck.
Baseball was a secondary goal in the construction of Dodger Stadium. The primary goal was to get rid of a bunch of brown people who lived too close to downtown for whitey to handle.
When you understand that, the giant parking lot makes tons of sense.
Hypocrisy hasn't been a gotcha for Republicans for decades. You at least got to give it to Democrats for learning this lesson.
In the worst way possible and in defense of the worst policies, of course.
Excuse the overdramatization, but it feels a lot like Frodo going to the Grey Havens. They did something great and now their reward is to disappear forever and be well taken care of.
I've worked for tech companies in SV and I've never seen a developer without a MacBook.
Yeah I don't expect there are many tech employees working with Windows Thinkpads.
When asked if he was sure that Albion couldn’t be copyrighted due to its historical context, he replied: “I don’t know if I’m honest, I don’t really know… I hope so. I mean you would think that the responsible person I should be, I would’ve spent the last six months in lawyers’ offices…”
Bold strategy, Cotton.
I was in SF this past week and took Caltrain down to Redwood City and back. I rode one of the express Baby Bullets, which is as fast as the diesel-electrics go. (The electric trains were sitting there at 4th and King, mocking me.) Let me tell you, I do not know how they think they can run HSR on this track in the state that it's in. This is far and away the bumpiest ride I've ever had on Caltrain, and I used to commute on it twice a day for two years. I'm actually concerned about the state of the track. It's great that they've run the wire, but I anticipate strict speed limits if they ever get the high speed rolling stock up from LA.
I had to look it up. It was called Guardian of Atlas and Sean left the company right after the beta launched and then the game got cancelled. My guess as to why it went poorly is just that it was inexperienced devs making a game at a time when SC2 was still actually relatively popular. There was no space in the already tiny genre of RTS.
Now that Blizzard has essentially abandoned StarCraft, it might be possible for some folks to carve some of that tiny market away.
Day9 did consult on the design of an RTS like ten years ago and it didn't amount to anything.
Showing all the balls by immediately coming out to say no to Medicare for All, yes to the border wall, and yes to genocide.
This is the shit you like to see? Or is it perhaps that you believe in nothing and care only about aesthetics?
Someone explains what this means to me, a dumbass.
Tearing down the properties has reduced their local property tax base and also no doubt reduced the values of the properties across the streets as well. It's creating a downward spiral of local tax revenue while no doubt increasing state maintenance obligations.
Decisions like this are why small towns like this are going broke. They make themselves easier to drive through and tear down the properties that constitute their tax base.
City or state would have had to pay to buy the properties anyway, though. Then the money spent on the widening could easily have been spent to modernize and update (or otherwise improve) the buildings.
The issue, to be clear, is not who makes the surveillance cameras. It's the surveillance cameras being installed in the first place.
Alarmism about Chinese surveillance cameras is missing the forest for the trees.
Except if the side of the truck says "U-Haul" or "Home Depot" people understand you're not the kind of asshole who buys and drives a fuckoff huge truck every day of the week.
Here's some cool stuff our looser rules and more reasonable costs used to allow but we got rid of all of that so don't worry.
They had really extensive plans in 1984 that accomplished amazing things. And then immediately got rid of them after the Olympics.

I honestly thought it was going to be Adams, but I definitely knew it wasn't going to happen.
Panama Metro reports that civil works are now 50% complete on Line 3, the 25km monorail that will run from Albrook to Ciudad del Futuro.
Miles Morales’ apartment has a Cuban flag instead of a Puerto Rican one

Sounds like Ryan and Gonzalez's effort to circumvent democracy is on ice for now.
We've seen divorces that were more amiable than a battle over a single roadway on the Upper West Side.
Some great displays of carbrain in this article.
>DeSeta also likened one of the groups advocating for the open street, Transportation Alternatives, to the National Rifle Association.
>“TA is a multi-million-dollar not-for-profit lobbying organization. And you know what non-profit lobbyists could be? NRA is a not-for-profit, so, ya know, not-for-profit is a loosey-goosey term,” she said.

>Like DeSeta, Herb Alter, who lives at 103rd Street and West End Avenue, objected, as many opponents typically do, to the "process" by which decisions were made when he was otherwise engaged. During the pandemic, he said, he and his ill wife decamped to their East Hampton second home — and the first he had heard about the open street was at the local dog run upon his return to the city last year.
Basically, a bunch of 70 year-old rich white people who live in a neighborhood where 73% of people do not own cars are trying to get rid of some intense traffic calming the city did during Covid because they lost 13 parking spaces.
It boggles the mind that there are people who live in Manhattan and choose to own cars without a dedicated place to keep them.
