But have you ever been downtown in any big city with lots of skyscrapers? The subheader of the question asks about those as well, and since the consensus is that NYC can be very windy because the grid funnels the wind (I’ve experienced it myself) it would be interesting to know if an older circular-walled city origin would cause the modern skyscrapers (planted in old lots) to block the wind more effectively, for instance. Meanwhile, The street grid of old Spanish Los Angeles was deliberately laid out at a 45-degree angle to the cardinal directions to maximize sunlight and wind circulation. This was done in accordance with the Laws of the Indies, a set of planning regulations decreed by the Spanish crown in 1573 for all colonial settlements. This older, angled grid is still visible in the city’s downtown core, where it clashes with the standard north-south-east-west grid introduced after the American takeover.

Meanwhile, Young Republicans are still “kids” at what ages again?

Pretty sure his students aren’t.

You forgot the Nussy

They usually get a set amount payable on submitting a final draft, or a salary. Which, if it’s an ego project, might be more lucrative than a percentage of profits.

The irony of migrating because they oppose migration…

If so it’s an abusive marriage

One stick, unscented.

No, Elmer’s doesn’t have enough fumes. I think it’s rubber cement they’ve been sniffing

You should probably start by going to a blue state. Police may still be transphobic tho

Could you not just sit a little sponge on the warm top of the unit and add a drop of fragrance now and then?

Definitely but also grew stubble to widen his jaw relative to his ears

Just in case ICE comes to kidnap everyone, it would be nice if the bystanders wore extra clothes they could lend the nakies because it’s cold in the KKKamps

Murder did occur to me, I watch a lot of detective shows.

But it’s just possible his body was concealed by brush and the back of his hair was seen against the branches.

Of course it would have to be a nearsighted trigger-happy idiot too “alpha male” to wear glasses, (or has a dad who’s not gonna let his son appear weak) but I’m pretty sure the situation self-selected for that.

Sadly there’s a certain adorable resemblance

I get my music from KCRW.

I do donate, but it’s not necessary if you can’t afford to.

In my grocery store it’s called Sour Salt (there’s no salt in it) and it’s in the Jewish section near the jars of borscht.

But another way would be to squeeze a slice of lemon into it.

One thing that won’t get shut down is ICE, which means some marginalized people will be afraid to get to and from food banks. So along with helping them stay stocked, you might see if there’s anyone organizing deliveries and join that.

Oh I don’t fold it right away but I have to bring it up while it’s warm, for the cat! And I have to move it from the washers (whites and colors) to the dryer (combined) because I know my neighbors also have laundry.

In my building it’s exactly 2 minutes less than on the display, probably because it saves the laundry contractor money without being enough to spark complaints. It’s condominiums, so complaints can cause the Board to change companies.

I think some home machines use sensors which would make the timing less accurate.
