Kathy Hochul says she’ll run for a full term in 2022. (She has no chance.) -- (link) - Tim Aug 13, 09:53 12
- With the primary less than a year away I expect people to start running very soon. Hochul will need to spend a lot of time here if she wants to win - Krusty Aug 13, 09:57 4
  - Yup. Incumbency is powerful but she has a lot of work to do. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 10:02 3
    - I don't envy her position right now. But she can use the office to get more well liked down here. If she kills the LGA Air Train and gets congestion - Krusty Aug 13, 10:08 2
      - why no Air Train from LGA? Seems like a good way to cut cars/cabs ? -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 10:16 1
        
        There are many reasons but a big one is it's going in the wrong direction. From LGA it takes you further out into Queens instead of towards Manhattan. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 13, 10:26
- why not? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 13, 09:55 6
  - She’s considered even more moderate than Cuomo, plus she’s not from NYC. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 09:57 5
    - thanks! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 13, 10:02
    - (Cuomo had two Lt. Governors, one from Syracuse, the other from Buffalo.) - Tim Aug 13, 10:00
    - This. She needs a lot more support from NYC to win and if she's up against Tish James she will have a very hard time getting those votes away from her -- nm - Krusty Aug 13, 09:58 2
      - I think it’s James’ job if she wants it, but I like her as AG. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 10:01 1
        
        Agreed on both. -- nm - Krusty Aug 13, 10:04
Poly Network (crypto hack from earlier in the week) offers $500k reward to hacker to return $610M in funds -- (link) - oblique Aug 13, 09:53 1

Fourth Wave Weekend Plans ? -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 09:42 18
- Four weddings, no funeral planned, stay inside by the AC in the heat wave and smoke hazard -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 13, 11:16
- A bike ride or two, supposed to be a gorgeous low-humidity weekend. Might got the the Fair, or do that next week some evening. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 13, 10:19
- Maybe visit our neighborhood festival at some point (outdoors). Lunch with my father on Sunday. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 10:06

  - That's what my doc told me. - Max Aug 13, 10:02
- No plans. Just hanging out with Maude and taking her for short walks. Hopefully this weather breaks tomorrow and she can get out for longer. - Krusty Aug 13, 10:00
- Tour day on Sunday. So much fun in this heat. 100-year-old buildings weren't designed for it :) -- nm - Meg Aug 13, 09:58
- Maybe sailing. Or maybe nothing. Depends on whether we can find a solution to a scheduling problem. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 09:53
- Friday night hot wings. Working 8 hours on Saturday for my new job and couldn't be happier. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 09:52 1
  - 👍 -- nm - decline Aug 13, 09:53
- Myself and one other friend are spending tomorrow at a friend's pool in her backyard. Cleaning out some closets on Sunday if it is not sweltering. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 09:46 1
  - oh, and watching 4 new eps of Grace and Frankie tonight probably. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 09:51
- Free Guy. -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:46

Woman shoots man while using gun's laser sight to play with her cat. -- (link) - TWuG Aug 13, 09:33 3

  - Followup says he owned the gun and doing so violated his parole. -- nm - TWuG Aug 13, 09:58

Grrrrrrrr -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 13, 09:33
Boeing's Starliner launch likely now delayed until next year -- (link) - TWuG Aug 13, 09:30 4
- Thread indicates the delay is largely a result of missing this launch window and not having another open window - TWuG Aug 13, 09:48 1
  - There's at least a couple of things they missed by not being ready to go now. The launch vehicle to get them to orbit and a place to dock when they - JD Aug 13, 09:56
- My mis-read admission of the day. I initially thought what do they mean by demate as in my head: Dee-Mah-Tae - JD Aug 13, 09:35

This fascinating video on how shipping containers are made is disheartening when you realize how much of this process could be automated. -- (link) - Mop Aug 13, 09:25 [youtube] 11
- And the fact they're aren't enough right now -- nm - Remlik Aug 13, 09:37 5
  - We lose so many to Marvel movies with battles at the docks! -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:44 4
    - Goddamn Tony and Pepper! -- nm - Remlik Aug 13, 10:25
    - The A-Team movie would like a word. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 09:52 2
      - Totally underrated action flick. -- nm - Shaun Aug 13, 09:53 1
        
        I concur. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 10:13
- Also, as we know, shipping containers are a very new invention, only coming into being in the 1950s. - Mop Aug 13, 09:26 2
  - So you want to disrupt the disruption? -- nm - JD Aug 13, 09:29 1
    - I'm all about disruption! -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:35
- They should just cut directly to making tiny homes and tiny offices and tiny retail spaces -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 09:25 1
  - It did occur to me... - Mop Aug 13, 09:27
Just got my first jury summons in 15 years. Wait, I hope this is for jury duty and not being put on trial. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 09:23 4
- Quick way to tell is if the police hand delivered the notice -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 09:26 1
  - I got subpoenaed to serve jury duty and had someone show up to my apartment and hand deliver it. I had ignored their notices one too many times. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 13, 09:33
- Either way you should totally do the "YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER" speech. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 09:25 1

Woo! Happy birthday to me! Monthly federal child credit deposited in my account! BIDEN! -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:20
Huh, windsurfing is an Olympic sport. I found it under the "sailing" category which, I guess, makes sense? -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:20 3
- They only have one commentator on the Olympic coverage. It's very awkward. -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 09:36
- I've had one of these since '84. -- (link) - Meg Aug 13, 09:28

REBack Board: Season dump vs weekly rollout. One of the bigger reasons I like weekly is spoilers. Sometimes it is inconvenient to binge watch a season - Spawn Aug 13, 08:59
forget Zillo listings, look at this RV, clearly owned by instagram influencers. every picture is worse than the next. -- (link) - chicken daddy Aug 13, 08:56 2
- I hate their style but like that it doesn't look like what so many RV's look like with flower prints and ugly colored wood. -- nm - Krusty Aug 13, 09:30
- i wonder how broken it is for that price. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 13, 09:06

  - I felt I made a pair of missteps in the last one. Pushing a bit harder on the 'I like it but others might not' button. This week's is a great rebound. - Qale Aug 13, 08:55 [spotify]
dog folks: Why would a little dog yap nonstop for (checking) three and a half hours? - loosilu Aug 13, 08:39 23

        is it a grey, a xenomorph, or a Morrocan? -- nm - mud Aug 13, 09:15 1
        
        The dog is still barking, so that rules out a xenomorph. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 09:21
