@DonovanBuilds Here I am building on Manhattan Schist. It's usually just put a little non shrink grout on it where sitting on bedrock.

Another hidden cost in California: geotech engineers We have 800 sqft units on our San Diego project and our geotech engineer wouldn’t sign off on the footings until we went almost 5 feet deep For comparison, that is about what I’d expect for a 3-4 story apartment bldg

@SinaiLawFirm Ip.litigator in BigLaw. Partner, who was an asshole, brought us in to huge tech company lawsuit in DDel. Client turns to him during opening and said how many times have you done this. "Oh this is my first" we were fired by lunch time.

Email your lawyer first thing tomorrow morning and ask him/her when was the last time they took a case to trial

@iowapatsfan67 @callmeMEJE I watched the directors cut by accident I'm like oh this movie makes sense now.

@callmeMEJE The directors cut. The best version of this movie. Adds about 45 minutes and tons of depth and character development

Ridley Scott spent $110 million on this. A Muslim general is the hero. The Christians are the villains. Cambridge called it 'Osama bin Laden's version of history.' Edward Norton wore a mask the whole movie. Refused a credit. Still the best performance. Kingdom of Heaven. 2005.

@liberalsblo @rdd147 Meatloaf mix has veal in it.

@rdd147 Not poor but Farmers markets sell it every week for as long as I can remember. The Amish call it meatloaf mix, also good to make meatballs with it. I dunno, beef is expensive but this stuff has been around forever.

In case you’re wondering how fcked America is, we are now cutting ground beef with pork at 80/20 in Kroger $KR

@ajlamesa Ah yes the ole the tax is extremely modest argument.

And, for what it's worth, the tax is extremely modest. Ideally, it would apply to almost all empty pied-à-terres with the policy objective of pushing absentee owners to either sell their properties or find long-term tenants.

Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax is not targeting New Yorkers. A Russian or Chinese millionaire who owns an empty $5 million apartment doesn't live in the city. If they decided to actually become New Yorkers and live in their property, they wouldn't have to pay the tax!

@Gregg_Star @FatherChrisVor1 Yeah where did they go to do all their physical gestures and loud words.

@FatherChrisVor1 All of a sudden, after hundreds of years, they need a separate room? I think you are naive, willfully or not. They are staking a claim in the Vatican.

I can’t imagine why this has to be answered again, but here goes. Because there are Islamic scholars who professionally use the library. Muslims pray five times a day on a very strict schedule. They do not just pray sitting down quietly. They have physical gestures to do and words that need to be spoken out loud. The scholars asked if there would be a room that they could go to where they could privately do their thing without interrupting any of the other library patrons. The Vatican said yes, and provided them with a small space.

@alun2708 @BulwarkOnline @campbellclaret @Timodc I guess it's complimentary to all that sunny weather the UK is famous for.

@BulwarkOnline @campbellclaret @Timodc washing lines cost nothing to operate and they dry clothes just as well.

"Europe is, I would argue, particularly now, but I would argue even without Trump...a better place than the United States of America." "You don't even have dryers... you're still using a hanging line." @campbellclaret and @Timodc spar over Europe vs. the U.S.

@MarkLevineNYC ?like property taxes. The salaries for the building staff And then when they visit do you think they use their EBT cards or they pay full freight for everything?

Thousands of ultra-luxury apartments in NYC have wealthy owners who pay zero in local income taxes because they don’t claim residency here. It’s only fair that these owners contribute to the cost of city services. This is a sensible proposal from Gov. Hochul.

What the fuck am I looking at #nuke

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??

@zapatas_mom I'm not sending my kids to urban shithole schools with the dredges of society that all cater to the lowest common denominator

Americans… this is a good faith question. I’m not baiting or trolling. Why are you so scared of condos and walkable cities? Does not having to drive for your groceries freak you out? What about it makes you uncomfortable? Please be honest.

@FuQImFromTexas @fabiodeuxbeer Funny story from ww2 hitler had sent spies to map the invasion of the US. They arrived in NY and got on a train 2 days later they were in Chicago. They looked at a map and reported back that it's not gonna happen.

No we’re just trying to get you to accept how insignificant and small your country is. It’s a tiny island 1/5th the size of Texas. Europeans think they’re well traveled because they travel to other countries that are literally next door. The distance you travel to go from London to Germany only gets me from the middle of Texas into Louisiana next door. If you add up the entire European Union’s land area, it only equates to about 1/2 of the lower 48 states. Lots of tiny, small countries. No wonder Hitler thought he could tak over the whole place, there’s no much to it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Americans love to compare the size of their shitsville states to other countries as if they themselves built the physical land

@ScottFriedman3 @TheMasters

A hilarious story that has developed at @TheMasters are 🎟️ resellers with extra daily access on a 4 day badge. They are not only sacred to sell to the public but also sacred to sell to other resellers. In this day and time you can’t trust anyone a source told me this morning. “I’m way more worried about another reseller saying a good badge was taken by the Augusta National than a patron.”

@arcticinstincts Guster..... Fucking Tufts

A study linked various SAT test scores to favorite bands- the lowest SAT scorers preferred Lil’ Wayne, and the highest preferred Beethoven

@therealjanellew @Bulvarpress Every beach in Thailand is covered in garbage it's not like the Thai actually give a shit. This is all performative.

@Bulvarpress We don’t allow anyone to swim anymore because especially Americans use sunblock that has a chemical that destroys their coral. That’s why this has changed over the years.

Tayland’a tatile giden bir Amerikalı turist, Maya Bay’da suya girince sert bir tepkiyle karşılaştı. Yaptığı hareket dolayısıyla 10.000 Baht ceza kesildi.
