I live 2 blocks on the other side of Girard. Walk down to Other Half/the Filmore plenty. Once you get a block away from under 95 and the el it's nice in all directions but under both of those is not great.

Oh that's great news. Now here's to hoping they cap 95 up there too so it doesn't feel like a wasteland in the couple of blocks between Girard and Delaware Ave.

Now if only they just shutdown Storrow Drive and you didn't have to find an overpass to get to that green space...

> The site next to the casino

What site is this? Are you talking about Penn Treaty Park and Northbank or something else?

Oh she deserved the ticket. My point is that it's wild she somehow got a ticket when there are dozens of cars parked constantly putting people in danger and they don't ticket those.

It's dangerous for drivers too even if there are no pedestrians. So many intersections around the city where you need to inch into the intersection just to see if there's a car coming.

And yet my girlfriend's legally parked car got a ticket in Fairmount for being a month late on emissions inspection. Meanwhile every single corner in Fairmount has illegally parked cars near the corners that make it impossible to see at intersections and I've never seen a single ticket on those cars. Law enforcement in this city makes no sense.

The article about Canada is for the option for folks to pay for private healthcare if they want to. It does not say anything about the public healthcare system in Canada failing.

Regarding the first two articles, the NHS is struggling just like the private American healthcare system is struggling. We’re barely a year out from a global pandemic.

The US pays more per capita for healthcare than any developed country in the world. And it’s not even close. A few links doesn’t change anything.

Lol you're asking people to put them on in the rain? There's a bunch of cars out that don't even put them on when it's pitch black out.

There's no single best option. They all have upsides and downsides and it's dumb to try and say we should fully commit to any one kind of alternative energy.

Solar and wind don't offer a reliable energy source and require some kind of battery infrastructure to power a grid if there's enough volume to provide enough power to the grid on average.

Nuclear can provide steady energy as the grid requires but has huge overhead in terms of start-up costs. There's also the problem of disposal of waste but I think that's less of a problem.

If we were forward looking enough, we would be building enough nuclear plants to phase out coal and natural gas for energy production in the grid while also building solar and wind to cover the increase in energy usage year after year. That way there's no need to increase coal/natural gas output and they become obsolete once the nuclear plants are built. There's a more nuanced approach where the government heavily subsidizes (more than they have) solar panels so land owners build them on their property that they're not using for things like food anyway and keep energy production as local as possible.

I've only been inside once and it took something like 20 minutes to get my food. But the drive thru usually takes less than 10.

I really only get McDonalds when driving a bunch so my go-to is to go through the drive thru at this one on my way to 95.

Not really the area but there's one if you drive a mile east on Girard.

You might've used it too early in its lifetime? Casting to a Chromecast worked fine for me when I used it.

There was an amazing non-profit called Locast which offered all of the OTA channels for free with ads and for $5/month for no ads. They got sued by all 4 major networks and the court ruled against them because the $5/month fee was presented as a "donation". It was great while it lasted.

As far as I know, there isn't any kind of easily accessible free public stream. Folks with antennas in areas where Jeopardy isn't broadcast in Lo-V could have it streamed through something like Plex. Or you could just split a cable subscription with friends and stream it through the ABC app (this is what I do because I do have been bamboozled by antennas claiming to get Lo-V stations).

I think @wooder_ice on instagram has a story video of a cop with hand cuffs waiting for a pole climber.

Idk the few of times I ordered take out from Razza while living in downtown JC I never really dealt with crazy wait times. Even on a Friday or Saturday night it was only an hour max.

I moved to Philly and ordering from Pizzeria Beddia is a crapshoot. I've gone on to see what the wait on takeout is and I've seen 200-300 minutes 90% of the time.

Both make amazing pizza. I haven't actually sat down at either but I'd guess it's actually easier to get a table at Beddia because they have a good amount of space.
