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 it’s possible. I live near one of NYC’s beaches and we’ve 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 it’s fantastic to see a mayor who cares.

But they do call their assistance suite Full Self Driving… I think what you’re 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 / “AI” functions I’ve worked with in litigation support would’ve 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).

I like this one a lot, and love that they’ve kept the Duracell airbox!

I’ve noticed this even within the corporate world. Partners write like they’re 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 they’re almost certainly false.

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

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen 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. It’s 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 they’re often shitty (in the US). I might’ve missed the mark a bit because I was thinking of those who care about culture, trying/seeing new things, etc.

“Travel 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.” Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It

I’d 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 doesn’t even have a passport) all the time.

I’ll 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 they’ve had decent offers lately.

A new technical milestone for Seawing, the kite that tows ships - Airseas We have reached an important technical milestone in the Seawing sea trials, with the successful validation of traction flights on the vessel Ville de Bordeaux.

Found them… but it looks like the last news update on their site is from a 2023 test

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 I’m not sure if they ever made it to production.

It goes off the rails at ketch rigged gaff (a gaff rigged ketch is a real thing, though).

I don’t blame you at all. As a nation, we’ve brought this on ourselves and I find it heartbreaking. I lived in Europe for some of trump’s first term and it was a little tough. I’m 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

It’s a gorgeous old wooden mansion in a beautiful, almost quiet corner of the Manhattan, and it’s been the mayor’s residence since the 40s. I love it and the park that borders it.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Thank you for posting this!!

I’ve been able to stay off IG for about a year and a half, but I think these guys are going to get me back.

It’s crucial regardless of good or evil, but given the choice, you seem awfully comfortable with the evil element.
