Cougar Gold still #1 on my list of WSU achomlishments.
I donāt think there is a better cheese made in America than cougar gold.
I am definitely not a chesse connoisseur, but itās definitely prettay, prettay good.
Lmao at this being considered extreme or wrong
I am firmly in the camp of making cities friendlier to pedestrians and bikes, and I think that highways running through downtowns was/is a monumental mistake, but I can empathize to a certain degree with @iron81 here. It is correct to observe that bad policy has entrenched lifestyles for hundreds of thousands of people that now depend on the stupid city destroying highway. And fixing the problem is monumentally expensive. It is perfectly reasonable to ask the question: is it worth the gigantic financial cost and the disruption to thousands of families to try to reverse the giant historical mistake? Much like pimpinā, land use decisions aināt easy.
The latter question is a red herring, and the former question has a very easy answer given the costs of having those freeways in the first place
The externalities are far more costly, and itās incomprehensible that people would style an argument along the lines of ābut what will the families do when they wake up and find the onramps have all been blocked overnight despite no alternative availableā
I agree with you, but they are still valid cost/benefit questions to ask.
I certainly hope itās better than the chocolate.
it is a reasonable question and the answer to the question is YES
anyway
pvn is calling for a total and complete shutdown of traffic entering chickfila drive-thrus until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Agreed.
This is the single best summary of policing in America!
Might want to give this project a review before endorsing urban highway removal. It, uh, didnāt go as planned.
The Big Dig is a wonderfully interesting case study, it was probably the single largest infrastructure project in US history. I think that the simple takes that go ācost overruns ā was bad and we should never do that againā are basically conservative propaganda against further infrastructure expenditures because those come with taxes and help everyone and THATāS SOCIALISM!
I have read a few good articles about the Big Dig because urban planning is a personal hobby interest of mine. The more educated the investigator is about urban design, the more they conclude that the valuable lessons from the Big Dig are about proper planning and budgeting, not that it was an irredeemable error.
Why on earth?
Aaron Judge makes 35 mil a year and this man does not and thats a fucking travesty
Wazzu is also big into developing new strains of apples. Cosmic Crisp isnāt quite honeycrisp level yet, but I believe it is much easier/cheaper to grow. I like tasty apples and cheese a lot more than the fart-sniffing that Harvard produces.
I agree, but the Big Dig was notorious for a lot more than cost overruns. Every single trope and cliche about infrastructure project boondoggles was realized, at unprecedented scale, over the course of 25 years. While itās wrong to say the Big Dig is a reason to not attempt large scale infrastructure, it is also probably wrong to assume it was an anomaly that wouldnāt be repeated on similar projects.
