Become an NYC Parks Lifeguard : NYC Parks
Become an NYC Parks Lifeguard for our beaches and pools. Now is the time to take the qualifying test. Learn more about steps to becoming an NYC Parks lifeguard.
The Parks Dept gives free training and access to city pools to anyone eligible.
You have to be able to swim to qualify (the 50 yards in 50 seconds mentioned by the Mayor in the video), so better access to swimming lessons for kids/teens could make the biggest impact.

Anecdotally, I doubt it but itβs possible. I live near one of NYCβs beaches and weβve had a shortage for years now, but an awful lot of the lifeguards every summer are local high school and college students. The YMCA has been working to help fix it, but itβs fantastic to see a mayor who cares.

But they do call their assistance suite Full Self Drivingβ¦ I think what youβre seeing is frustration over the lies and carefully selected vocabulary from folks who are primarily interested in profits and juicing the stock price rather than being honest about the limitations of their products.

And not legit ediscovery tools, because all of the LLM / TAR / βAIβ functions Iβve worked with in litigation support wouldβve done a MUCH better job with redactions than this mess. My guess is they had reviewers use consumer AI tools and then did very little quality assurance (or none at all).

Iβve noticed this even within the corporate world. Partners write like theyβre texting friends, but almost everyone else is expected to draft emails like modern day Shakespeare.

I know- I like to think asking for a source gives people a chance to support wild claims and also shows others that theyβre almost certainly false.

Why not? Should his demeanor really have any effect on HoF voting? Iβm a Jets fan and top-tier BB hater, but I donβt see how his behavior towards the press matters at all.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Fair points about types of folks and how they travel. I had a strong feeling when I saw your first reply that it was golfers, and theyβre often shitty (in the US). I mightβve missed the mark a bit because I was thinking of those who care about culture, trying/seeing new things, etc.

βTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.β
Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It
Iβd imagine the Venn diagram of Americans who travel (as normal tourists) and Americans who support trump has a fairly small overlap between the two.
I think about this Twain quote (and the fact that half the country doesnβt even have a passport) all the time.

Iβll probably be in the market for a car in March/April and no matter where I start my research, it seems like I always end up at the Mach-E - either used or leased since theyβve had decent offers lately.

With one exception as pointed out further down the thread- kite rigs are real but much less fun looking than in the comic. There was also a company developing kites for cargo ships a while back, but Iβm not sure if they ever made it to production.

I donβt blame you at all. As a nation, weβve brought this on ourselves and I find it heartbreaking. I lived in Europe for some of trumpβs first term and it was a little tough. Iβm kinda nervous about traveling overseas for the questions & judgment I might face now, since things are so much worse.

Respectfully, I disagree. There are a lot of us in the U.S., and many are attracted to the spectacle, of course. But there are also quite a few of us who watch every session, study designs & upgrades, care about the history, re-watch old races in the off-season - I promise we exist and we get it!

Gracie Mansion - Wikipedia
Itβs a gorgeous old wooden mansion in a beautiful, almost quiet corner of the Manhattan, and itβs been the mayorβs residence since the 40s. I love it and the park that borders it.
