So are you not going to count deaths from Helene resulting from people not evacuating properly? For not taking it seriously because it was preventable?

It takes one square, hell, a quarter square with good shakes and a urethra stroke for that. It's really not even an issue with daily showers. Us having a straw with a very exposed exit point is a much simpler device to dry than what the other half of the world is dealing with

Huh, ihadno idea Opel (and Vauxhaul) left GM in 2017 and became part of Stellantis in 2021. Weird

You're probably not a woman who uses paper for both sides.

I at least appreciate the notice. I forget about annular but it's neat to see one happened almost exactly 1 year ago on the Oct 14th. I'm aware of the April 8 total though

Meant as sarcasm, but I get it

It's probably a split decade of 75-85. The 80s are probably worse by raw volume, the 70s are probably worse per capita. It all depends on which stats you look at. It also depends on what's reported. Supposedly, part of Giuliani's improvement comes from recategorizing crimes into untracked categories. Losing money would also have a delayed effect as the missing funds trickle down

The graves on Hart Island are over a century old. NYC is huge and lots of people die without anyone to handle their body. It's unfortunate framing of the island's use when people suddenly wanted to pay attention. The morgue trucks were real to isolate covid bodies, I will add. But the island didn't exactly do anything differently than be a graveyard like it was since the Civil War

Just a friendly quiet older guy who chokes on pretzels like the rest of us at best, puppet for war profiteers at worst. Certainly not really responsible for any of the travesties related to him. He was just reading a book to children.

Rear view cameras have been federally required on passenger vehicles since module year 2018 in the US market. So yeah, regardless of the error, it's a recall because the result makes the vehicle noncompliant.

NY metro here at the time. He was close to being shunned by 2001. He wasn't performing well, he wasn't that smart, he wasn't effective. Then 9/11/01 we suddenly all had to band together. Nothing saves a term in office like massive tragedy in which everyone is emotionally charged and any act of rebuilding is "doing their best". His platform prior to that was that he was tough on crime and took credit for a drop, but you can see the trend started prior to his terms and there was a national drop as well, so it's not his sole doing. The 80s were a terrible time in NYC, way more dangerous than whatever fears the right enstills in their following today. Plus, statewide/nation wide impression of him won't match the city's impression, since he was still conservative. I will say, he wasn't as far into conservatism in his policies as he and his cohorts are now. So while he may not have been as favorable across the board, he wasn't so polarizing.
