My gut reaction was to wonder how stupid someone needs to be to threaten a family with a knife, outside a court, in plain view of officers. Then I remembered this is someone who answered Trump's call to arms.

Where'd you get the sticker done? I might want to do one remnicent of the old paper passes.

It's always been Queensboro for me.

Lol. Yeah, like, just tell us which curb they'll be left out at. I'll swing by with my hatchback.

It's not as easy as owners just deciding to do a conversion. The article discusses some real challenges that stand in the way. Even buildings with a lot of vacancy still have some long term commercial tenants still on lease, or a company with no experience with conversions may look to sell to someone who does, or zoning changes might be needed first. There's a lot of things that takes time and bog down the process.

We can very much afford what we're putting into Ukraine. Much of that value is the original sticker price of old or used equipment the US will replace anyway. The embarrassment of the Russian military is a huge windfall for the American defense industry. Poland alone tried to order 500 HIMARS which we can't even supply. All the weapons systems we sell will in turn generate billions in service contracts, eventual upgrades, and ammunition purchases that goes right back to the American economy.

Combine all that with neutering the Russian military and strengthening NATO unity; while putting zero American troops in harm's way. This has been the bargain of the century.

Are you arguing that they shouldn't be "tax payer funded", or that they should be "tax payer funded" but also come with more enforcement against abuse?

The article in its entirely is:

>Britain has called for an overseeing body similar to NATO to ensure security in the Indo-Pacific.

>The chair of the UK’s defence select committee has suggested the AUKUS agreement, a trilateral agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the US that would expand to include India and Japan.

Kinda hard to spot between the torrent of ads, but it's there.

Also, I just don't see India joining up. Despite what the UK is saying, India is not an ally to the west. It has always loudly proclaimed itself a non-aligned nation. At best it would be a situation like Turkey, where they get membership because of geopolitical importance, but don't really give a crap about the interests of their allies.

The provocation is their own internal issues they're distracting from.

All those border disputes stretch back decades.

Hopefully she doesn't manage to cut a deal to completely avoid prison. SBF is the big fish, but she was still CEO of the company that promised unrealistic returns and took stolen FTX customer funds to make high risk investments.

It sounds to me the upset is due losing their limited play spaces.

Bingo. This happened with the curb extension outside my building too and eventually they got around to putting in the stuff to make clear that the box is for pedestrians. That said, the crosswalk should've made it obvious and the red pickup driver is being a massive tool.

As someone who has to suffer driving through there occasionally, it sucks for drivers too. The problem is the traffic flow there is way too complex. There's frequent congestion, you're constantly dealing with lane changes, merges, and tight turns. Throw in pedestrians, bike traffic, and the occasional moped. There can be a lot going on at once to divide ones attention.

Reminds me of a podcast I listened to that talked about guerilla public service projects.

What happens to Transnistria in that scenario?

There's probably IP that Israel doesn't want to risk falling into Russia, and then by extension Iranian, hands. Instead they sold Ukraine radar systems and bombed a factory in Syrian making Iranian drone components, which seems like a fairly clear indicator of support.
