Hey, this was in Sweden in 2017! I know this because of a Tom Scott video.

The precedent was set with Chicago’s streaming tax, which does not violate federal law.

Another Princeton connection at the end!

He’s made the joke that he’s being tricked into doing a talk show again (add cameras to the studio, do some tapings with a live audience)

What is the equivalent of those overheight sticks and cans for railways?

There are 10 of these things in Manhattan (including the combined Starbucks ones). They’re closing 2.

I’ve never had a problem with the Verrazano.

The highways immediately after… different story.

If “mini warehouse” means a truck occupying and blocking a bike lane, then yes.

Edit: more recent evidence of mini warehouses parked illegally

Sesame Street was based on 60’s/70’s Harlem, so its original intent was to maintain a footing in the real world.

And who’s gonna go to this casino once New York State approves a Manhattan casino?

> I thought the Penn Station access development was recent, not many years ago. I question why did it take so long?

Because Penn Station is at capacity, and the only way to add new trains is to divert existing ones. Now that East Side Access (Grand Central Madison) is open, you can divert them there.

> Sadly, you can probably get away with domestic violence.

Not domestic violence, but sexual harassment and assault. Because the reporters are in on it too. See: Mark Halperin.

59th Street

I was once with a subway car with a person who was in the middle of an emotionally distraught phone call. The problem was it continued way past the station, and under the East River.

Anybody have a link to the judge’s ruling?

Summary: LPC has landmarked a parking lot for decades, and now they have no good explanation why it’s suddenly no longer landmarked.

This is the AG doing the political part of her job instead of the lawyer part of job.

Ah, you can always count on the Post to spin everything in the “right” direction.

At least this trip makes more sense than the World Cup one.

Although they all could be zooms.

And drive another project manager to suicide.

Call me skeptical, but I wanna see the surveillance footage first.

The car shops create the congestion, not the medical school and hospital?

I’d stay on the turnpike even when it’s eventually completed, considering that they fucked up constructing it.

The $16 GWB toll for starters ($13.75 with EZ-pass). Then the congestion of the crumbling highway once you reach Manhattan. And if you want to get to Yonkers quickly and easily, you pay the $7.50 (each way!) for the Henry Hudson Bridge.

Cut it up and throw it away.

Nobody’s gonna go thru the time and effort to retrace their steps when they can call their bank or use an app to get a new one.

I’m not gonna drive a U-Haul on the Belt Parkway, and I’m not gonna drive an underpowered moped on a major bridge.
