In This European City, Rolling Suitcases Are Now Banned
  • The clash between Dubrovnik’s picturesque cobblestones and the constant rumble of suitcase wheels has become too much for the locals. These historic streets amplify every bump and rattle, turning what should be a peaceful stroll into a noisy nuisance. To address this, Dubrovnik has decided to ban rolling suitcases within the city limits.

    Starting November 2023, tourists will need to carry their luggage or

  • Good estate
  • Even if it went from grey stone to grey plastic siding, you could tell when it goes from stone to plastic. That should be enough to meet their "different" criteria, but not be such an outrageous eyesore.

  • JFC, why can the GOP obstruct? Because they can when they have a majority in EITHER the house or senate. And they can get that at any point. Read that again, they can get that at any fucking point. It's not from Dems meeting in the middle just because. Come the fuck on. You don't even know what's going on.

    So WHEN the GOP has ONE of those, the Dems are FORCED to reach across the aisle. Why do I think I have to caps certain words for you to understand. Fucking forced to. Because you/voters didn't give them the house or the senate. And if they don't reach across the aisle the whole fucking government will be shut down just like they did to Obama. You can't play fucking hardball, do you have any clue what will happen if the country defaults on its debt? Come the fuck on, you don't even know how things work but you want to blame Dems. JFC. You seriously have no clue how things work. Sorry not sorry, but you have no clue.

    So how do you make sure the GOP doesn't get one of them so they can obstruct, which FORCES the Dems to reach across the aisle? You fucking vote. JFC. This is so fucking simple to understand. Vote. Give the Dems all 3 consistently and things can move.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • There's a thing called jurisdiction. They can't give debt relief for everyone, just the ones with federal loans. They can't pardon everyone for marijuana, just those with federal offences. Most marijuana offences are state charges. So guess what? If you want state charges to be pardoned, you better vote in state elections!

    Yeah you're bust all right voting for third party. Even if your third party wins (lol) you're going to find that little thing called jurisdiction.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • The reason is because Dems have to actually do things like pass legislation. Which more often than not requires all 3 of house, senate, and president. All the GOP has to do is block things and yell immigrants. Progress takes, you know, actual work. Stagnation or regression takes next to nothing.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • JFC Now you're just playing dumb. Biden ran against the incumbent, do I have to specify I'm talking 2020? When Biden faced off against the incumbent in 2020 he had to run centre. JFC. And guess fucking what, that carries on. Especially when it's a rematch of the same guys, with the same policies, the same MO. Why do I bother when you play dumb. (Not that he's even announced what he's running on yet for 2024, but we can take a good guess).

    Yeah you're back to excusing yourself for not voting. Jeez you know how you could change that changing hands stuff? By voting. Seriously why am I bothering when all you do is make excuses for not voting. If you want to continue you're gong to have to do better.

    Personally I wasn't a fan of them, so was glad they didn't continue on.

    Kids love playing HIde and Seek because it plays into our hunter and prey instincts.

    Instincts being we were both hunters and had to hide from predators. Hide and seek feeds both.

    TIL White Castle was the pioneer of fast food, not McDonalds
    99percentinvisible.org The White Castle System of Eating Houses - 99% Invisible

    White Castle has its own take on fast food hamburgers. For starters, the patties are square, with five holes in each patty. And they’re small, too –- two-and-a-half inch sliders. Just big enough to fit into the palm of your hand. And since they’re steamed on a bed of onions, everything is infused wi...

    Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.

    People that lived in walk up apartments *with no elevator*, did you like it?

    Again, with no elevator.

    I can't imagine no elevator and walking up with groceries.

    I notice Indians speaking English tend to speak very fast. Are the Indian languages simply spoken faster?

    Do they just speak faster? Do the Indian words/pronunciation flow better/faster than English does? And they are simply trying to match the cadence?

    Is there a reddit delete tool to delete comments one at a time without scrolling/constantly moving the cursor?

    I don't want a mass delete because there is one community/topic that I don't want to delete.

    But going manually through my comments is hard because I have to scroll, move cursor to delete, hit delete, move the cursor to yes, hit yes, scroll to next comment, etc. It would be much better with one click per comment without any scrolling or moving the cursor. Is there such a tool to go through like that?

    *Never found one, ended up using power delete suite.

    People that lived during the Cold War, what was it like?

    Did you live in constant fear of being nuked? Or was it more chill most of the time?

    TIL Gargoyles are named that because of the water they gargle out of their mouths.
    www.merriam-webster.com Definition of GARGOYLE

    a spout in the form of a grotesque human or animal figure projecting from a roof gutter to throw rainwater clear of a building; a grotesquely carved figure; a person with an ugly face… See the full definition

    Definition of GARGOYLE

    Proper use of the term gargoyle being the statues that drain water from buildings.

    >By the 13th century, those figures were being called gargoyles, a name that came to Middle English from the Old French word gargoule. The stone beasts likely earned that name because of the water that gargled out of their throats and mouths; the word gargoule is imitative in origin
