It's not a clickbait title. It didn't say that every hotel room in the city sold out, it only said that the convention rooms sold out. Unless you're a moron, you know that an event with an official hotel reserves a block of rooms specifically for that event for their attendees.

With the advancement of technology, and the prevalence of cell phones, if it doesn't already exist, I'm sure it would be entirely possible to create an app that guides you directly to your seat. Or to be able to install scanners all over the place where you scan your ticket, and it tells you which way to go.

Is this going to be like the cashier issue at fast food restaurants that's leading to automated kiosks being installed? There are signs all over the park, and I can find my own seat. I don't need an employee to demand to see my ticket, and simply point to where my seat is when I can already find it without their help.

It's almost like they get their stock from donations, and not a regular supply warehouse like big box stores.

"Hi, 311, this airport next door to my house is really loud, can you do anything about it?"

It's not like the restaurant was built after they moved in...

Wait, wait, wait... so you're telling us that the most probable direction that a baseball is going to fly after being hit is away from the home plate?!?! Do you work for NASA, because I think they could use your genius.

Wow, I didn't realize that the Olympics (both summer and winter) have MULTIPLE events dedicated to nothing more than murdering people. I think I'll have to watch them, next time.

You won't do it by simply removing a single type of tool from the people who want to do harm. How many guns did Timothy McVeigh use? How many guns did the Boston Marathon Bomber use? How many guns did the 9/11 hijackers use? How many guns did the truck driver use in Nice, France? How many guns were used in the deadliest school killing in US history?

When you have a compound fracture broken bone, it doesn't do any good to simply put a bandaid on the skin if you don't treat the cause. The single common denominator in EVERY murder, regardless of the type of weapon used, isn't a gun, it's the person who chose to harm someone else. If you don't treat the person, and the reason for wanting to harm others, you won't stop the killings.

It's pretty bad when you have to dissect your argument with a scalpel to try to defend it.

Like the Right to drive a vehicle? Which Amendment gives that Right?

You know it wasn't taking about an actual established militia unit, like most people think of a militia, today, right? Most citizens in the country are, by default, already militia members.

You should probably educate yourself, a little bit. It is legal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. That was never actually a law.

It wasn't all muskets, back then. The first fully automatic firearm had already been invented when the 2nd Amendment was written. And despite Biden lying about the fact that citizens couldn't buy a cannon, back then, civilians could, in fact, purchase, own, and use weapons of war. Considering the government didn't originally want a standing military force, citizens had to have access to higher caliber weapons used in war.

I notice you had to add the keyword "legally", which kind of destroys the entire argument. Sure if you want to legally own and operate them... but then again, if you want to follow the law, you're not going to murder someone in the first place. It's estimated that 16% of drivers don't have a valid license, and that 13% don't have insurance. So even using the car argument, you're already admitting that around 1/6 of the people aren't following the laws, yet aren't stopped by the licensing "requirement." And that's also assuming that it's a 100% overlap of people with invalid licenses and no insurance, which isn't likely. And, once again, while you may need a special license in most cases to drive a "high caliber" vehicle, that's not always the case. There are a lot of people who own skoolie busses that can legally be driven with a regular license. I know 2 people, personally, who have one that I'd be able to jump right in and drive without needing any additional licensing or insurance.

Millions of people who legally and responsibly own guns are not the ones who are breaking the law to murder people, which is already illegal, so why do you think that adding more laws will suddenly make the people who are already not following the law want to follow them? Remember, Nice, France was a deadlier attack than any single mass shooting event in US history, and they already had the licensing and insurance requirements that you seem to think would prevent people from breaking the law.

Shit, why don't we just make murder illegal, because you seem to think that everyone will follow the laws.

They weren't making the comparison that you needed a legally owned and licensed vehicle to hit someone with a car, they were only stating that you simply needed one, and YOU are the one who added the extra step of legal ownership which screws up the argument. I've already pointed out that as many as 3/10 drivers aren't legally operating their vehicles, so it's entirely possible to operate one without proper requirements being met.

That's a fair point.

You're basically paying more to have it done quickly. If you need it done in a single day, and don't mind paying what they charge, then you'll be fine. If you can deal with having someone work on it for a few days, or a week, then contract a regular handyman / contractor.

When they say that you'll be "tossing salads", you had better confirm what they mean.

On the other hand, if the city allows people to redevelop them so they're no longer dilapidated, most of this sub will scream about gentrification.

Don't get caught drinking them on the plane. [Wink]

Even if you wanted to withhold rent, unless your rent is literally due tomorrow, or in the next couple of days, it's not going to matter. You have to allow a landlord a reasonable amount of time to diagnose and fix an issue before you can withhold rent, and it sounds like they're already working on it. This weather has caused issues for a shitload of people, and I'm sure the repair guys are swamped, right now, so most people aren't going to be able to get things fixed the same day.

Instead of trying to learn how to threaten to withhold rent, why don't you try asking your landlord to get you some space heaters since the radiators aren't working? You've already admitted that they've acknowledged the issue, and are working to get it repaired.

Your heart is in the right place, but it's cute that you think that everyone begging on a street corner is homeless.

I'm seeing forecasts of 50+mph wind gusts. That can cause some big problems. The cold sure as hell won't make it any easier.

If you go to the Monroeville Mall, you WILL die.

...I mean, sure, it might take 60 or 70 years for it to happen, but you will die if you choose to go to Monroeville Mall.

Damn... if only traffic could be stopped if there was a fire in one side of the tunnel. It's too bad that there's no possible way for that to happen, and that everyone escaping a fire would be forced to run directly into speeding traffic.

If there's a fire or something in one side of the tunnel, you use those to get to the other side of the tunnel where there isn't fire and smoke.
