This map (from ULI) really puts the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex in perspective in a unique way
Population over 8 million now
Here are all of the well known cities (population wise) that would make it up
@fiago7 It's a big country with a lot of great places all over. I live in the south and I love it, but my advice is to go north. Nothing beats the summertime energy in the northern cities and states.
@MichelleKe3615@Savsays It's not patriotic to root for extrajudicial killing nor does it sound very Christian. Quite the opposite. If he's found guilty (likely and sounds deserved), he should get the punishment prescribed by the court.
I know every generation has their class struggles, but let me tell you about the summer of 1990 when Supersoakers hit the market and only a few kids could afford them and the rest of us were hunted for sport.
I think we need to build this.
I designed this below image, representing Lewis and Clark on the Mississippi in the style of Argonath.
At $1 Billion or more, I think it can be done.
@anothercohen Matt's is great, especially for the setting, but there are clearly too many south Austinites here. Mama Betty's is top tier, it gets my vote.
He’s typing in a search bar, quick show him the search option he’s looking for.
Perfect. He typed the next letter that is also the next letter in the option we just showed him so take that option away and show him an option that doesn’t match at all
@SGEAFAO@rahul Law enforcement professionals consistently defend ALPR and other technology with no financial incentive whatsoever. They actually like solving crime, catching bad guys, and saving lives. They don’t like it when demonstrably helpful tools are taken away.
JUST FUCKING PLANT TREEEESSSSSSSS
They are what make cities LIVABLE
Here’s San Antonio’s river walk today. It’s the most “meh that’s nice” tourist spot, and yet San Antonio is the EIGHTH most tourist visited US city because of it.
TREEESSSSSSSSSS
Update: WaPo got its hands on the department's internal report, which apparently "paints a picture of D.C. police officials manipulating classifications — including of violent assaults, robberies and thefts — as they buckled under pressure from the department’s top brass to reduce crime." https://t.co/6xwwWDEg5p
Roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of the shelter bus stops I use (across all the US) are like this -- depending on neighborhood.
It's not just about people sleeping in them, it's that they are trashed, glass broken, seats ripped up or piled with filth.
This destruction of public property is why we “can’t have nice things” because we have to construct everything to be asshole-proof, and so we don’t build anything (most common) or build with a fortress mentality, stripping our public spaces down to the austere and utilitarian, emptying them of anything that can be easily broken.
It's not like this in any other country. None. (England seems determined to give it a try, but has yet to reach US levels)
Being in your early 40s is weird, man. People around your age are in every stage of life. You have people who are grandparents. You have people who have newborns. You have people dating 25-year-olds. You have people celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. Some of them look 60, and some of them look 30. All the bases are covered when you are in your early 40s.
