Absolutely. My two interactions with Glass was (1) seeing a dude wearing it at a friend’s wedding. At first I was like “whoa, cool!” Then I realized he just looked kind of douchey for some reason. This could’ve been fixed with better hardware design.

(2) A worker had them and I got to try it on. Again, “whoa, cool!” until ultimately I realized how there wasn’t really anything it was adding. This could’ve been fixed with a more robust app infrastructure.

Ah yeah, that’s a good point. I do remember that was what effectively killed them.

Google Glass was kind of amazing. Hard not to look like a douche wearing them, but given how far app infrastructure has come, it was probably just ill-timed.

He kind of did. LOL

Good training and kept calm, but in the most NY way.

That was blood curdling. But then I remembered they were told to scream and were just doing as recommended

I don’t think a lot of people were traveling by horse or cart. North of the Wall Street wall was untamed land with little road infrastructure controlled by various native tribes and confederations.

If you were traveling to the closest colony at the time (either Massachusetts Bay or New Haven), you’d almost certainly do it by ship.

If you ask me, it’s Corney.

Makes sense. A regular person might’ve been able to afford a parcel of land. But almost no one here has the knowledge or skills to clear that land, lay a foundation, and build a house.

And my axe hour+ commute that includes a boat.

Because Lehman was also huge and because it was so interconnected with so many other parts of the economy. If you notice, it’s not on here because Investment Banks aren’t really banks.

Otherwise, we should also be showing Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, Bear Sterns, AIG, and more. 2008 was a next level crisis.

Isn't it crumpled ground from the Asian plate as a result of the Indian plate jamming underneath?

Not quite. The Google maps measure distance shows that, if you include the sidewalks, from the edge of Trinity Church to the edge of the buildings across Broadway, it's about 87 ft.

Morris Street is just the beginning of Bowling Green just where it begins to widen. The widest point of Bowling Green (corner of State Street/Battery Pace across the pedestrian plaza to the eastern edge of Broadway) is at just shy of 300 ft.

I think further down the street where the wagons are is Bowling Green, which widens and is more of a town square. So you might be right that there it’s closer to 200ft. and maybe more.

No way. Looking at the woman in the bottom right, let’s assume she’s 5 ft. tall. You think you get 40 of her laid across the street? I think it’s closer to 20 than it is 40.

Because when the law was passed barring military unions, we were at the height of the Cold War and the most ardent pro-military union elements were sympathetic to the USSR.

If anything, you might be pointing more to the need to allow military unions than anything. For what it’s worth, National Guard members serving in a state capacity can be unionized.

It's a classic "who watches the watchmen" situation.

The separate organization could be the Attorney General, which is far enough removed from daily policing activities that it makes sense. Civilian Complaint Review Board is also independent of NYPD so, there's that.

The issue is ultimately accountability. What should happen if a police officer steps outside of their legally-restrained role which unfortunately exists in a fast-paced, high-tension environment with a lot of grey areas and "he said, she said."

>We need to bust the police union.

We need to be very careful about this. Breaking the police union will affect other public sector unions, and possibly even private sector unions. IANAL, but I know that police unions are still protected by the different labor and collective bargaining laws.

Yeah! It’s actually on 5th Avenue!

We should’ve done that in 2008 when he was still putting Eddie Curry out there on the court.

Then it can finally become Times Square!

Well I know plenty of idiots with bachelors working in finance making double what you make.

It’s all relative but what’s 100% certain is that I’m the biggest idiot of all.

I legit thought that was what this thread was about.

I had an upstairs neighbor in a previous address terrorizing me. Legit would blame my roommate and I for smoking even when we weren't there. He did things like super glue our locks, pour bleach from his apartment into ours, slash the tires of our cars.

Aside from the landlord who "couldn't do anything" (side note: pretty sure they were in cahoots with each other to increase turnover on a rent stabilized unit), the police literally looked at a video of him gluing our locks and said "we can't do anything."

I hate the world.

It's a really good restaurant.
