Yeah. Key limes would not be right for drinks, especially without adjusting recipes.

Great in pies tho. There’s a reason it’s key lime pie, not just lime pie

Depends how bad it is. Nerve blockers give me about 40 minutes to two hours of relief. Not exactly worth the cost and expense.

Baby poop, though? Where do you find it?

If the landlord rents the room directly to her they have a responsibility to make sure other tenants keep public spaces livable and clean.

If the other roommates want to be gross, landlord needs to kick them out or allow OP’s friend to move out. That’s part of the duty and risk of renting individual rooms out

It looks like most of the unlogged forest is at much higher elevations, too, which would naturally affect biodiversity

Lmao. Most people used to walk barefoot. Walking barefoot is comfortable for super long distances if you do it regularly. Maybe not on concrete, but that wasn’t a problem for most of human history

Health is affected far before obesity.

The parents of morbidly obese children belong in prison for child abuse.

Yeah. Even if there aren’t direct health effects of being morbidly obese (unlikely), the social and mood effects of not being able to participate in common childhood activities (like sports, or just regular play) seems like it would have a huge effect

Do you think everyone was rich enough to ride a horse constantly?

Trust me, you can’t. I average over 20k steps when it’s nice out. I’ve done 20 miles. It’s quite a bit of you haven’t worked up to it.

Everyone used to walk. That’s just how people got around

Yeah. 90s md always got a few snow days a year, and sometimes many. Snow could also come as early as October and as late as April.

And every few years was a big blizzard, which was fun in its way.

When was our last blizzard? 2016? Almost 7 years ago?

I’m with you. Last couple times I popped in the service was mediocre, crowd was minimal, and food was incredibly disappointing. 15 years ago it was one of my favorite spots in the city, and 5 years ago it was still great and had amazing food.

Yep. Dives do last call at 1:15 and lock their doors with curtains closed any 1:45, and any regulars they like can stay later

How elevated were levels?

Exercising once probably doesn’t help a ton, but if you exercise twice a day or more for decades, it seems like it could be a massive benefit.

And the elevated levels might be prolonged in those who exercise regularly, just like a lot of things are improved only slightly by one bout of exercise but vastly improved by years of regular exercise

No, I want bike lanes everywhere. Hell, I want plenty of streets closed to cars.

But regardless of everything else, sidewalks have to be safe for pedestrians.

No, the cause is scooters thinking their convenience trumps the safety of pedestrians.

You’re the one trying to solve the problem by prioritizing improperly. If scooters don’t feel safe on the road, they can walk on the sidewalk. That’s a perfectly valid choice they have.

Making pedestrians unsafe isn’t an option.

I’d rather scooters be banned completely than ridden on sidewalks. They are dangerous to pedestrians and drivers.

I think DOT has a good potential solution, if you look at the video they linked. GPS that detects sidewalk vs street walking, notifies the rider and nearby pedestrians audibly, and I didn’t see this but hopefully shuts them down if continually ridden on sidewalks.

Riders feeling safe is not an excuse to make pedestrians unsafe. Yes, improved infrastructure would help this, but even with that there would be dickheads who want to ride on sidewalks. I've seen people ride down thames st in front of the restaurants, as if that is safe or necessary when the promenade is on the other side of the street.

Yeah. Ive been going 30mph towards a green light and had them fly through a crosswalk past parked cars and had to slam my brakes. It’s like they think that they’re in a car and have some protection and wont be immediately dead or permanently disabled

More infrastructure would be nice, but first it needs to be made very clear that riding on the sidewalk endangers pedestrians and is strictly not allowed.

If the sidewalk is the only safe option, they need to get off and walk with the scooter. It is not their right to endanger pedestrians for their convenience.

bmoreDOT replied to me with a link to a video on their new initiative which seems to address this.

Holy shit, really? That’s awesome. Thanks!

Yep. Sidewalks are supposed to be a safe place for pedestrians. Literally their purpose.

Off the roads? To go where? On sidewalks with pedestrians? Fuck that.

They’re motorized, wheeled vehicles. They should never be on sidewalks
