I assume they pay about half of whatever the value is on bricklink. I have not sold to them yet but have about a hundred $2-$3 mini figures I’d like to unload.

Also note that the Mario line pretty much failed so the prices aren’t going to be that good on those sets

The problem they’re solving for is keeping people from parking there for long periods blocking whatever needs to be done. To enforce it they need to let a meter maid also park in no parking for 15 mins. Also they have to park somewhere to give the tickets.

I mean I get it, it’s frustrating, but its like if you get pulled over for speeding but are then mad the cop had to speed to get catch you.

They made 4 pizzas in the same day with the same techniques and the same ingredients except for the water. It’s science, and the water (fluoride amount) legitimately makes a difference. Not specifically in taste, but in how the dough cooks and rises.

Also people everywhere say NYC pizza is better than any NYC style pizza made anywhere else, it’s not just people in Richmond, so shitting on people who live here about this specific thing seems out of place.

The food theorists on YouTube did a story on New York pizza and one of their tests was to make their own pizza with water from different locations and it apparently made quite the difference.

They tested the water and the main difference was the amount of fluoride, which will kill the yeast in the dough (different rates for different waters) and that’s enough to make a difference in the final product

It’s pretty commonplace to have a witness sign the ballot envelope. Just fill it out when someone else is around. Or just scribble something on there in a different color ink not in your handwriting. No one will know
