  • Pretty sure the only reason that sort of thing happens is because the restrooms in the stations are closed for no good reason. At least, that's why it happens on my city's transit system and I assume NYC is similar.

  • Do you believe that every party in every parliament in the world should be able to just stop parliament from working instead of trying to actually vote for laws/bills the way they think is right because they are sure that they are right and their voice aren’t being heard (even if they are minority in the said parliament or don’t have quorum)?

    My legislative body has the filibuster and I think it has a useful function, so yes!


    BTW, there's no good reason whatsoever the NZ parliament couldn't have resumed business after the haka. None at all.

    The only reason they didn't was because the leadership decided to feign performative fear and end the session in order to manufacture an excuse to punish the native legislators and exclude them from influencing the budget.

  • Tag yourself!

    I'm #6, but that's only because the couple and the mariachi band are blocking the spots I would've put my bike in.

    Edit: actually to be fair, I'm only #6 in Atlanta. If I lived in NYC, I'd be able to justify owning a nice folding bike.

  • Computing a nonsensical result is itself a failure. Continuing to run while avoiding giving an error in that case accomplishes nothing but to make the program harder to debug.

  • Also, IIRC fish ladders don't actually work all that well, which is why fish cannons are the new "in" thing these days. (See also: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/fish-cannon/ , https://www.whooshh.com/ -- yes, that's the real name/website of the company that makes the thing, LOL)

    Seems like this project, "with a length of four kilometres and a spiral structure that simulates gently sloping water currents" (according to the "more reading" link), is a different approach to correcting the inadequacies of normal fish ladders.

  • 8 years of our lives with not just no progress, but regression

    Don't forget about the increasing amounts of permanent destruction. There's gonna be a lot of people killed, environmental damage, etc. that we can never get back even if Trump is replaced by a non-fascist and every one of his policies are immediately stopped.
