The poll police of course. Maybe the hurt fee fee’s police too.

Normal thing. Said by a normal guy. Normally.

You knew at least one thing about oil that I clearly did not know!

From op threads it seems that barrels is just the unit of measure and the oil is pumped into the cavern directly and not actually stored in barrels 🤯

The “news”:

Tens of thousands die in car “accidents” = I sleep

Somebody saw a homeless guy doing something weird on a bus = real shit

The expense report form for my work has 7 lines for different taxes for itemizing hotel receipts - which is not enough lines for many US cities lol. Think NYC had more than 10 different hotel tax line items

From what I can find, seems like no because it is unrefined crude oil - and that is stable / does not degrade if stored properly (unlike refined gasoline or diesel, which would degrade)

Unclear to me if it is the same 150 forever or if they do first in fist out and so turn over what makes up the 150

Very excited to say that the stars have aligned and NYU Marron/Transit Costs Project have landed a grant that will fund a second edition of Momentum, which will apply the high-throughput framework to major regional rail networks beyond the NY area.

Our three big new cases:
- NJT
- SEPTA
- METRA

He’s either very stupid or he thinks his audience is very stupid.

My god do these people need to find some self respect. So embarrassing.

It’s just: “Facing a systemic issue? Have you tried an individual solution?”

Has he ever actually expressed the belief she assigned to him? He has said it should be a state with equal rights for everyone, but that isn’t what she puts here!

They want him to not be mayor. So everything he did while mayor will be wrong to them, regardless of what it is.

Then the number of units allowed is 1. That’s not a fight we can concede.

Cost? Not physically possible. Too many wormholes and other dimensional anomalies in the area!

Not you, but many people are like this:

Deconversion = I sleep
Upzoning / building an ADU = real shit

That has negatively polarized me into being anti deonversion absent massive upzoning

If it goes both ways, and people can easily add a unit or units too, then I agree.problem is it seems to mostly be going one way and not the other.

Don’t tell the CTA and CDOT - they think it’s a force of nature and not money. See state and lake red line connection deemed not physically possible.

That eliminates 1 unit - so I’m not sure how we disagree?

We reversed the river and built a city on a swamp - creative engineering should be doable here!

Given the cost of building new affordable housing, wouldn’t it cost upwards of $365 mil per year to replace those lost units? That is its own problem 😅 but seems worth fighting to stop the practice and save those units. It’s not peanuts!

Red line station at Clark and orange line/ green station at 16th could presumably connect to their 78th station and create a connection to the CTA for less than the spur

When did they drop the goofy orange line spur? That’s all I remember from this project 😅

Nothing. They are always just running out the clock.
