probably the only thing wrong with it is the awkwardly painted side skirt area below the doors. In this picture, depending on your screen settings, it kinda just looks like someone kicked and crumpled a bit of the car lol.

I'm just reminded how many times I've gone into Union Pool solely for the restroom, especially since the urinals have a separate weight wait to stalls.
I usually ended up getting a taco after the fact anyway so it's not like I wasn't giving them my patronage

Reply to What do New Yorkers think about Angelinos? Just curious. I have never been to the east coast. by [deleted]
All I know is one of my best friends and ex roommates is from LA, and he mentions me being from New York wayyy more than I've ever mentioned him being from LA. The only time I've mentioned LA is if I'm visiting and I'm looking for restaurant recommendations or we're making plans. It always felt as a New Yorker I was the butt of random, "oh iliveoffofbagels probably doesn't like the pizza.... oh he probably despises these bagels..." type of jokes.

Reply to comment by Best_Line6674 in Bronx is snubbed as MTA pursues IBX plan by Best_Line6674
>Why is there no highway tunnel/bridge from Long Island to Connecticut or somewhere in Westchester?
from wikipedia(but remember tio look up the page's cited sources for more details)
>Moses ran into a problem once the proposal was brought to the Federal Highway Administration. Opposition to the bridge was beginning to form on both sides of Long Island Sound. In addition, plans to turn the Oyster Bay area into a bird sanctuary and a protected park made working on the highway harder, as building on such protected places is forbidden by law. Faced with growing opposition, Governor Rockefeller canceled the plans for the bridge on June 20, 1973, nine years after the first proposal by Moses.[12]
.... and then more recently
> In January 2008, this idea was revived when developer Vincent Polimeni proposed building a privately financed, tolled tunnel between Oyster Bay on Long Island and Rye in Westchester County, featuring two tubes carrying three lanes of traffic each and a third tube for maintenance and emergency access. The route would connect Route 135 (Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway) on Long Island to Interstate 287 in Westchester County. It would cost between $12 and $16 billion[13] and would not be completed until at least 2025. The proposed tunnel would be 16 to 18 miles (26 to 29 km) long, making it the world's longest highway tunnel, longer than the Lærdal Tunnel in Norway.[14] A hearing on this proposal was held in Syosset on January 24, 2008.[15]
During his second term, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo also proposed a tunnel connecting NY 135 to Rye. This is also a highway in two tubes and a third tube for maintenance. After a polarizing debate, the NYSDOT released a statement saying the tunnel would not be moving forward at this time.[16]
....
ultimately, many people argue against it. It's been proposed over and over in several forms, but nobody wants it, but the opposition is too strong. Fuck dude... if in the 50's we couldn't get people to be alright with making a connection from Route 135 in Oyster bay through the rest of the north shore and across to Rye, we sure as hell ain't going to do it easily any time soon with way more people living through the possible path now.

Oddly enough we have done green a bunch, especially the farther back we go... like from the 30's through some time in the 70's.
Here's a picture of the Ford Custom 300, and off to the left you can see the side of the Chevy Biscayne used many years later. (Edit: here is the Chevy)

I don't think it's weird to respond to 1 call about vandalism. They have to respond to some of those calls... it's bound to be one. That's the most reasonable expectation.
I do think it's suspicious as fuck that the call for "vandalism" is simply someone removing trash coincidentally obscuring information on the license plate.

Reply to ELI5 How do slipstreams work? by Da_Dokta
If you are driving a regular car on a regular road for regular traffic purposes... don't even think about slipstreams
If we are talking racecars (e.g. NASCAR, Formula 1, etc), front car cuts the air/ air resistance, the car behind it is protected and can speed up without resistance. In a straight line or a long simple turn this is easy.
It gets more complicated when the car in front is going through a bunch turns back and forth at varying speeds, creating "dirty air" cuz that air immediately around that cut air is super turbulent and is going to collapse, creating fluctuating levels of resistance or downforce on the car behind. It's not like this turbulence doesn't exist on straight lines, but it's more of on obstacle on turns where you actually want a consistent weight of air across the car to push it down into the ground to keep grip. On a straight the air resistance is just going to hamper your top speed.

Small area to work wit... there's a uterus pressing up behind it, with a rectum psuhing pushing against the back of the uterus. Needless to say, when there is a baby in there it sucks. And this is all worsened by a short urethra and weakened pelvic floor muscles following child birth. There is very little wiggle room, unlike with dudes who don't have an extra structure in there and a much longer urethra.

Reply to New changes to 8th Ave create much wider pedestrian space, organize and calm a formerly chaotic place by Miser
I'm actually surprised to see people walking in the area between the bike lane and the side walk. There is an area east of Penn... probably going down 34th... that has and entirely protected area for pedestrians on the street, but everybody was just crowding on the side walk. I guess more pedestrian street space for me. It was like heaven carrying a roller bag and having to deal with zero people as i was walking through quickly.

That has always been the case. It was yesterday. It was the case even during the pandemic. It was the case 3 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago. Just move with purpose. The perosn will either wake up and get out of the way, be intimidated out of the way, or you'll bump into each other. Just go my bad and keep walking.
