The thing about pedestrian safety post 2020 is that its one of the few areas that's massively worse than the norms that existed pre-covid, its bourne out clearly in the numbers, and the only way to solve it is traffic enforcement, sorry

Pretty cool and considerate of the People's Revolutionary Homeowners' Association to remain on the Nazi Kiddie Porn site where I don't have to hear from them.

Milan Winter Olympics kicked off on a stage shaped like a giant centrifugal pump, the primary pump type used for pressurizing water systems today. The centrifugal pump was invented by Italian engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini in 1475.

He’s taking a Palmetto I think. As soon as you’re off pure corridor services the crews can get insane.

People die on a regular basis between and on top of subway cars already, it’s never been much of a scandal because Americans don’t value life. Anyway it’s entirely on the MTA, nothing to do with Mamdani.

solidarity and sympathy with everyone fired from the Post except Will Lewis, who should take a long walk off a short pier.

I don't actually think that the Centers for Disease Control, National Weather Service, Food and Nutrition Service, and National Park Service, to name a few, are riddled with career psychopaths or beyond saving as institutions, no.

You keep making this claim but I think there’s very little evidence that it’s true.

The only way I could ever get down anywhere near 62°F in winter back when I lived in a building with steam radiators was by turning on the air conditioner

I think it’s like 10% of buildings which is simultaneously a small minority and a tremendous amount of housing stock.

The 2 inch shower drain requirement is staggeringly excessive and the NYC Plumbing Code goes out of the way to deviate from the adopted model code to maintain this traditional requirement.

the On phone credit card should be able to show the transaction but this is all a mediocre hack compared to actually building a good system. Why do people keep hiring the same bad American firms?

A lot of riders are about to find out that the credit card number in Apple Wallet is different than the physical card and that Apple only allows you to see the last 4 in a difficult to find screen

Don’t let anybody tell you that developers won’t build single-stair buildings on larger sites. Three right in a row.
