It's somewhat lost in the discourse but 'Coprolalia' is such an apt term. Brother's got shit-talking disease

Pre game ritual in my glory days was ripping a whole rotisserie apart over the sink, chasing each chunk with prosecco. Room temp so I can drink the whole bottle as fast as possible
tbh with proliferation of AESA radar and missile interceptors, I think stealthy subsonic missiles are going to become more important than supersonics or hypersonics.

I did some very rough math, as I do. It cost the city ~$20 per intersection cleared (4 corners) in labor ($30/hour), including one union San Man supervisor on overtime for 20 labor workers. (rough mat: clearing 1 bus stop is = ~ to 3 intersection corners = ~15 fire) (1/2)
finally! i'm so hungry

You're welcome! I was one of those (but in Queens). 8pm to 4:30 am. Honest pay for honest work. In a blizzard. I will sleep well.
What New Yorker HASN'T ended up at Delancey & Essex after a long night?
Thanks to these Emergency Snow Shovelers and hundreds more, who have been out since 8pm getting paid to shovel crosswalks, corners, hydrants, and bus stops while thousands of Sanitation Workers plow the streets.
Stay off the roads and let them do their work safely.

I keep forgetting that I'm part metal now till I lay down and a big piece of titanium sticks out of my body. I can feel it contract when it's cold and expand when it's warm.

New York's dept. of transportation processed *every* 1:24K USGS topo map that touched the state, ~900 in all, into 4x high-res georeferenced tileable files: contours, anthro-stuff (streets, buildings etc), water, and built-up areas
Could make a 50x50 ft. full-res map floor.....

Reading Mark Twain's biography rn, he had a similar moment early life. It's fascinating how some white people broke from the gravity of racism they grew up with while others to continued continue to rationalize, leaving the former to walk around feeling like they're insane
