Regulations are written in blood.

When you don't get a permit you own ALL the risk of the work. Redoing the facade requires a permit because most brick is structural. You can't simply re-lay brick and expect it to perform. You need to meet modern building code. (Same goes for stucco, siding, etc). If you fail to follow code you could have water and mold, poor workmanship with no recourse, or be fined heavily by the City.

If your home causes damage to anyone and you don't have a permit, you will be screwed if not dead because it killed you.

All of America is!

It is hard. It requires effort, constant effort. If you are forced to work 1 awful job let alone 2 or 3 to provide food and shelter, what capacity do you have left to take care of your children? It's not an excuse, because in most cases having children is a choice. But it's the reality that our society forces people into. There are not enough well paying jobs for people to realistically support themselves and their families.

Absent parents (due to their own choices or societal flaws or a combo) routinely end up with children that have no moral guidance, no structure, respect for society, or their fellow citizens.

It makes sense how we get here, even if it's not acceptable. We need to help elevate people out of extreme poverty and overwork for their kids to have a better chance.

Her audit of the police was a major source and influence on the Inquirers exposé on the police; namely those who were too hurt to patrol, but able bodied enough to work a second job.

Yeah it's not clear, I had to read it a few times.

I'm sure she will grow, but at her age when she was found she was supposed to already be 45-90 lbs.

"At Cróga’s age, loggerheads normally weigh 45 to 90 pounds, he said. She weighed about a pound when she washed ashore. Since then, she has gained about 1.7 pounds, nearly tripling her weight."

Being so paralyzed by cold that it doesn't eat for months may be why it's small. Or the body eating itself to stay alive.

Did I read that right.... The turtle is supposed to be 45 to 90 lbs and weighed in at just 1????

The people who enforce the laws about noise ordinances are not taking any resources from those who should be keeping our streets safer, schools better, or housing more available. It's not one or the other.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

The more good press and good business and good work Nintendo gets out of this the more other businesses will follow suit. It's not all or nothing, progress is taken one step at a time.

This is some best-of material

Turn the bag over in the store and look, that's as much as you can do

I've seen full on grasshoppers/locusts in prepackaged bags of salad. A katydid once! They're literally built to camouflage into the plants so it is what it is.

I saw it happen in the air without knowing the context so I'll support this claim

PPA: we don't patrol that part of the city, contact the police
911: contact your precinct
Precinct: it doesn't matter if ppa doesn't patrol there, it's their job and we can't do it for them

What does she have to do with this?

A republican will win mayor before that happens

Have they even tried making it without palm oil?

Because it's a city the size of Pittsburgh but they count the suburbs as city.

The Gorgas park event may be your best bet. It's always humming at park events but this is my first winter here so I'm not sure how many carolers there will be.

Recruit for your drunken singing then!

Yeah I use downtown as a shortcut of saying I'm going into the city (from a suburb or outer neighborhood). I think of it as the dense urban area inclusive of most central neighborhoods. Then center city is literal the neighborhood known as center city. But that's just my personal use

Don't go?

I have these two comments saved from other users: "Don't just submit tips on the website. File actual complaints to force the agency to respond to them. This link explains how to file complaints, to whom, where, when, how, etc. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/law/title-47-chapter-1.page#111"

"https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cchr/downloads/pdf/publications/Salary-Transparency-Factsheet.pdf

Report violations here: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page

Violations include salary not appearing on any job posting open to NYC residents, whether in person or remote. Includes perm and contract. Includes new hires and promotions/transfers. "

Report that shit! There's language in the law that the salaries posted need to be in good faith. NYC lawmakers aren't trawling the Internet for bad job posts. The only way they find them is if people report them.

That's odd, but thanks for the info
