Those are people who either only watch Fox45 and Fox News, or watched The Wire and didn’t understand it.

Maybe you're buying some super expensive pepperoni (idk, I'm vegetarian so I've never bought it in my life), but the unit cost for flour, salt, water, oil, cheese, and marinara sauce are pretty damn inexpensive.

I just think $22 for their full cheese or $28 for full pepperoni, along with sides >$10, seems a bit expensive but not super surprising given their being in Power Plant Live (as in, just like BOP's pricing - tourist & drunks inflation). It sucks because I love UPC's pizza.

A waterway is essentially an existing right-of-way. It’s simple enough to just view the Jones Falls and think “oh, we don’t even have to tear anything down and it connects exactly where we need”

Also remember that the 50s highway planning ethos was about defense (both in alignment and design) and the suburbs.

Yes yes yes, I agree and get it, more money to alternative transportation - however, this is a huge system interchange and given that it’s essentially I-70’s eastern terminus it’s important to be maintained and issues with it improved. This doesn’t seem to be another of Larry’s “but what if we just add more lanes” “solutions”

Jokes aside, malfunctioning traffic lights should be treated as four-way stops. There are also places in the world where yellow might be on simultaneously with green or red to indicate the light impending changing.

I know this is offtopic to form stone, but make sure to have independent lawyers assist each of you separately. That’s essentially a prenup.
