If NYC uses ranked choice voting in the general
It does not, for some weird reason. City primaries only.

@xavier666@lemm.ee If you sit at a magnesium fire, it burns at 3300K, which is hot enough to produce sizeable ultraviolet rays. So you can get your sunburn from that, damaging the DNA in whatever of your remaining cells have not been melted away by heat.
This is literally that scene from Schindler's List where the Commandant sits on the balcony and snipes any prisoner below who isn't laboring fast enough. And for years they were saying this was unrealistic and such crass cruelty could not have happened!
I got excited that the paper makes concrete predictions for particle masses - the electron, muon, and tau, the quarks, and the neutrinos. For the moment, particle masses are free parameters in the Standard Model that you need to plug arbitrary experimentally-derived numbers into. A theory that can calculate them directly would be a great theory, even if it were as weird as having 3 time dimensions.
Buuut... this paper doesn't actually explain how it calculates all its amazing predictions. It just starts with something like "what if Schrödinger equation, but instead of exp(it) we had exp(it1 + it2 + it3)!" And I agree: yes! Let's! What if! We should explore all possibilities, no matter how weird, if they lead to better understanding of the world. But then it immediately goes to say "let α and γ be some [unspecified] constants. Therefore the mass of the muon is 105.6583745 MeV". Like... how?
I thought maybe this is a paper just to announce the theory, and all the laborious calculations are in the supplemental materials, but at the very bottom it specifically writes "Data Availability: The theoretical predictions and numerical calculations presented in this paper are fully described within the text." **Frodo mode:** Fine, keep you secrets!
Until the author shows the actual theory and the calculations outputting all these amazing predictions, they are no more useful than that LinkedIn post that said "what if e = mc2 but e = mc2 + AI"
Always has been 🪩👨🚀🔫👨🚀
Doesn't say the trolley is a runaway. Don't even need to make deals, you can safely walk away.
Don't forget our great socialist pools! Excited for them to open for the summer, but have to wait for those damn commie schools to close first. They keep the pools under lock until the schools close for the year so the children won't flee.
The Pied Piper strategy from the 2016 Clinton campaign!
Pets are allowed on New York City subway. No ticket required, no time restrictions. They just have to be in a bag. Never experienced a problem with one.
If the engine is powering the refrigerator, it is exempted. Engine powering air conditioning is not exempted.
He's been in the news for several years already. I've looked into doing the bounty hunting thing - I couldn't find anyone in violation! Every truck and bus driver in the city are generally in compliance of the idling limits. Only occasionally would some one-time-visitor out-of-towner who might not be aware of the city ordinance run afoul. Not sure whether people are just respectful of traffic rules, or whether this guy is a menace everyone knows about. If so, the bounty program is working effectively as intended!
The "libertarian paradise" idea is that as far as Best Buy is concerned, the item was delivered. If the DoorDash delivery driver happened to turn right around and steal the package, that's a separate crime and a matter for the police to deal with, same as if anyone else had stolen it. And it's OP's fault for not picking the box up sooner, during the 3 seconds it was sitting on the porch. The porch that wasn't even theirs. So anyway, the libertarian solution is for OP to contact police to track down the thief and either recover the stolen item or sue the thief for monetary compensation. Best Buy is innocent and no refund is coming. DoorDash is innocent too because they contracted with an independent contractor to deliver the item, and what the contractor does after the item has been delivered is not their responsibility.
