The failure of the government is that the bridge lacked protective islands around the pylons

The general notions of property rights here in the US would preclude anything as restrictive as residence requirements, but I certainly think that local government should be allowed to establish registration, inspection, and taxation policies around STRs.

There is a no sugar added version of Sweet Baby Ray’s.

Here in the Midwest, I still occasionally run across a Sunoco station with pumps that let you choose from about 5 octane levels.

Is there any way that local municipalities can add local taxes to the short-term rentals? That would discourage STRs at the same time as raising some revenue to help with homelessness.

Digital World Acquisition Corp is the SPAC. Jeff Yass is a billionaire with a huge stake in it.

It seems like these avant garde performance art style comedians always take things way too far in the name of comedy

Clearly it’s going to take the insurance companies jacking up premiums to get the railroad’s attention. I also think that the Feds need to be considering how to make Amazon/eBay/Facebook more responsible for stolen goods sold on their platforms. That’s where goods stolen by train thieves and shoplifters are going, and…

Elizabeth, don’t look down at that Chocolate Éclair cake. It was a long time favorite in my family, including my mom who baked her own pies completely from scratch. Once it has time to set, it really is a delicious dessert. My only hesitation is the chocolate icing recipe. We haven’t had the cake for years because our…

Yes, salad dressing as a marinade is a great hack/timesaver. It contains all of the elements of a good marinade (oil, acid, spice) conveniently available in a bottle. You could argue about proportions or flavors, but salad dressing fits the bill for a marinade.

Few things have ever been made better by making them taller

Nah, in another 30 years they can move Ortega to the mom position, with Ryder the grandmother. I mean, Catherine O’Hara can’t live forever.

This is aimed squarely at 40year olds

I’m imagining that once Harley Davidson starts making hogs for the H-D faithful that they, too, will have to add noisemakers. Some sort of electronic version of baseball cards in the spokes of your Schwinn.

I had trouble catching much of anything from his ranting beyond the idea that NY was shooting itself in the foot by pursuing fraud charges against business interests, claiming that such cases would deter anyone from wanting to do business there. He had no real answer that I heard for the question of why the fraud…

My great hope was for a future of traffic with greatly reduced noise, making urban life more pleasant. But, no, the assholes who buy expensive vehicles need noise so that we’ll all look at them and be impressed?

And I also just saw him on CNN loudly declaring that heavily fining the Trump organization for a decade of fraud was a catastrophic mistake for NY, which would lead to businesses fleeing the city and state. In fact, not just loudly but practically yelling over the show’s host and refusing to shut up. So, yeah, someone…

While I’ll accept that no mice got to your pizza stash, mice could certainly climb a luggage rack to get to food. I’ve pulled into my garage to see mice scurrying up the vertical studs to get to safety.

They’re not rare enough to be in Tucker territory. Maybe they’ll wind up in DeLorean territory, cars that have an interesting story around the head of the company. Kaiser was a pretty interesting guy, too, but those cars have mostly sunk into obscurity, so that’s probably where most Fisker models will wind up.
