Hooters has signed father-son duo John Daly and John Daly II in its first NIL agreement for a college athlete. -- (link) - budice Apr 19, 06:56 2

Why prepared rotisserie chickens are cheaper than ones you cook yourself -- (link) - Beaker Apr 19, 06:49 3
- So what the peck is going on? As an example, Cost of Living picked up a cooked cluck at a Calgary Costco. -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 07:11

- the delay-nightmares i envision with this. omg. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 06:29 1
  - Between the delays and false alerts it would be a nightmare. That would also hurt ridership and not improve it like they think it would. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:32
- They'll do a study, install a couple at one station and then it'll never get any further. Many people will pocket millions. There are so many other - Krusty Apr 19, 06:29 19
  - We also need more train lines to transit deserts and areas that are under-served by public transit today. We need lines that go between Brooklyn - Krusty Apr 19, 06:43 15
    - I'm amazed we managed to get four new stations in the last decade and I think those were the last new stations we are seeing for a very long time. - ty97 Apr 19, 06:46 14
      - They're working right now on extending the 2nd Ave. line into Harlem so there will be more on the W line. They're also in the planning stages - Krusty Apr 19, 06:51 13
        
        I thought the Bay Ridge to Bronx line was going to be like LIRR not necessarily subway, though would be great if it was -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 06:56 1
        
        I haven't heard about that part but I assumed it would be like the subway. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:58
        
        Sorry, Jackson Heights and not Astoria. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:54
        
        I didn't think there was any funding for additional phases of Second Ave? - ty97 Apr 19, 06:54 4
        
        As far as I know the feds are chipping in a big chunk of change and phase 2 is underway. It will extend the line to 125th St. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:56 3
        
        oh, that's great if true. I think it was going to connect to 4/5/6/MNRR at 125? That would provide further relief to the 4/5/6 hopefully. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 06:59 2
        
        Yup. It'll connect with 4/5/6 at 125th and Metro North. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 07:01 1
        
        That's a very smart connection -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 07:08
        
        I forgot to mention the ongoing debate about how to improve access to LGA which could and should mean extending a train line to the airport. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:53 4
        
        *THAT* would be wonderful. I don't hold my breath. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 06:54 3
        
        Well it's back to the drawing board right now and they've been holding hearings about the many options. A dedicated bus lane or two seems very - Krusty Apr 19, 07:00 2
        
        I am very glad that they put a stop to that terrible wrong way Airtrain idea. Doing *nothing* was smarter than doing *that*. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 07:01 1
        
        Agreed. Sadly, it's not completely off the table and there are some people that are proponents of it still pushing for it to win. But there seem to be - Krusty Apr 19, 07:03
  - And if you've been anywhere with these metal detectors you know how they slow everyone down. That isn't going to work at many stations during the day. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:31 2
    - they're going to target stations with predictable demographics, that they don't care about slowing down. -- nm - colin Apr 19, 06:50 1
      - Of course they are. But I'm nearly 100% sure it won't ever happen and many people will pocket a lot of money in the process. -- nm - Krusty Apr 19, 06:52

  - She sucks, but she wasn't just a law clerk. She was a law clerk to Clarence Thomas. But she was also served at the Department of Justice. - Inigo Apr 19, 05:28 2
    - Never tried a single case, civil or criminal, as lead or co-counsel. ABA rated her as not qualified. - Volnelk Apr 19, 05:40 1
