No, they generally do not and I say that as a smoker that quit several years back. My place has a stoop and I am constantly telling my upstairs neighbors to keep the trash ass brother of theirs that staying with them to not dump butts off the fire escape. I still sweep them up, but would rather not have it get to that point.

This is after I dug out and gave them a really nice ornate ceramic ash tray that i had in storage so he would knock it the f*ck off.

Praswell being an international finance fraud enabler wasn't on my bingo card.

The cops don't want to spend time busting weed shops because it's a headache for them, gets them nothing and causes even more problems on the street for Patrol.

That's why.

Stop spreading garbage agitprop.

They absolutely are. Like ridiculously overpriced.

Awesome. I'm glad it panned out this way too.

I hope the State ends up getting a fraction of the tax money they should have from this because that, my friend, is actual justice.

Fuck them.

I dunno dude, I suppose its the question on whether you want to see this kind of shit in the news or ' 2 teens airholed by straphangers trying to break up fight between said teens '

I do not trust gun types to make these sorts of decisions. The police can be bad enough at it already. Anyone who's gonna carry a piece in the subway system is either already on their way to get into bad shit somewhere else or is going to be some herb from Westchester or Long Island who pisses their pants at their own shadow from time to time.

And, funny enough, the criminals who are already carrying on the subway don't really get into confrontations on said subway. It's odd, but that's how it shakes out. I guess they even know not to piss on their typical form of conveyance.

This is just stupid. Just plain stupid. Buy a bunch of blimps and float them across town. More scenic, just as ridiculous.

We do not have the transload facilities anywhere in the city or Nassau County to have this work and you're not fitting well cars anywhere along that branch. That type of wagon also cannot go on any lines with 3rd rail or you no longer have a working 3rd rail (because it will be smashed to pieces). Also, all locomotives that would be used on this line have to be specially modified, again, to not destroy the 3rd rail on the line. Same issue with CSX dispatching from Selkirk down to Oak Point and over the Hell Gate...Special power is needed and you're constrained to standard bulk hauling rail cars, not wells.

I'm as much of an intermodal freight transit dork as anyone, but unless you can scale it up to Plate H double stacks and have the facilities to handle them, it's not gonna happen. If not, you're putting standard boxes on flat cars and running them in single strings and at that point, you might as well use a truck. In addition, I you can even put high cube boxes on flatcars and have them work on the ancient tunnels along the Branch. The clearance is just too low.

The ergonomics of the bridge complete changed. And they changed how it interacts with the LIE.

This guy is going to end up actually being what everyone thought Dinkins was, but actually wasn't. And the tragic thing is absolutely nothing quality...much less something line the banger US Open deal...will come of it.

And how civil liberties should only be extended to those who serve in the military.

Like being a giant 20000000 gpm cum fountain.

>If people's jobs and careers depend on there being less violent crime based on certain measurements, you better believe those measurements are going down one way or another. But this city is more dangerous than it was in 2019.

But...the thing is, and I say this as someone that's particularly close to the NYPD, the numbers are not working for them internally.

They are staffed at a level for a city that no longer exists. It's a city that had around 900 thousand violent crime incidents a year..e.g. the early 80's. That simply does not exist anymore and the hiring spree that they went on during the Dinkins administration is now over 30 years in the rearview. This means that many of the officer lines that were created and filled at the time are now nearing, at or beyond their 30 and they can ride off into the sunset with a fat pension.

Every last one of those guys and gals that retires is another round were the NYPD has to justify their staffing levels to the City and the State. That's a hard sell if the numbers aren't there to justify it.

And they are not.

They literally are not. I'm not kidding when I said above that we are literally not being bad enough to each other anymore. Because we are not.

This is ridiculous. Mainly because they've been trying to do this for almost 15 years and it doesn't work.

The numbers do not lie. There have been some specific tragedies, but this place hasn't really gotten that much more dangerous in an absolute sense.

Mainly because we're all not huffing lead as a main part of our existence anymore. Funny how that works. We're literally not being bad enough to each other.

>i mean lets be honest, for advanced tech per say, not a lot of the population contributes to it.

This is so utterly and completely wrong, it's sort of mind bending.

The stupid boxed set of silverware from the local Bed Bath and Beyond (Pre-bankruptcy) involves multiple cross globe border crossings by transport to bring to that silly store shelf. The complexity only goes up from there.

People massively underestimate just how many people come into play in modern supply chains.

Nobody wants to take SRO's because it is literally impossible to change the situation once the person is in there. The Rockaways have a problem with this and the solution from landlords is to literally let the entire structure fall apart due to the inability to evict tenants.

I'm not saying it's right but you'd have a higher chance getting brand new housing projects built than getting any landlords on board with willingly allowing SROs in any of their properties.

Rigel always needs that helping foot.

Or you could have just borked the prospect and are endlessly chiseling away into schist and will only find more schist until you reach the Earth's mantle.

I hate this comic.

The point is to look at the schist you've already mined. Realize that if you shifted mining methods and manage to extract blocks...you can make them into counter tops and sell them.

I hate this comic.

AIOs are the go-to form factor for enterprise workstations. I buy a few hundred per PO for deployment and I know that I'm not Dell's biggest client that does this, by a long shot. Dell especially has perfected the art of making them modular (to an extent) and serviceable (completely) to guarantee uptime. They also come with the benefit with not having to buy specific attachments from furniture and office system OEM's to accommodate the separate box. They can also act as a docking head in a pinch without any excess equipment acquisition due to the proliferation of USB C.

On one hand, the conspiracy theory angle does work...on the other, the NYPD's material handling protocols are probably laughable when it comes to storing E bikes and other things with battery cells. I guarantee you they were stacking these things wherever they could and all it takes is one shorted cell and..well ( insert Dr. Ian Malcolm gif).

Commercial real estate is a financialized mess now.

Why is a window hurting you? Are your fingers caught in the sash?

Many. The months and months of waiting is a got damned farce.

I agree with you in spirit, but there's a bit of a problem : Manhattan has sort of specialized in being the McLargeHuge commercial real estate capital of the country. It's very hard to repurpose that.

There's also the fact that financials and their involvement of commercial real estate means there's incentives (as in, actual contractual incentives for primary stakeholders) to never lower the rates on leases. Senior holders and all that. It's all very arcane, just like just about everything in commercial real estate.

The NYC Mayors office is, behind the Presidency, the most famous elected civic office in the United States. There's a certain amount of leeway the Mayor has with attending junkets, NYC being the Us's only alpha world city.
