A friend of mine had a relationship-ending fight in the ice cream aisle when he wanted a cheap gallon tub but she insisted on a pint of B&J's. He basically ended up heartbroken over a couple bucks lol GWM tho

I had a dream which involved Haagen-Dazs Carrot Cake ice cream; a flavour that doesn’t exist. Every day since then has been pain as I keep wanting this nonexistent ice cream.

Leviathan Song posted:I mean yes, when you're comparing it to Ben and Jerry's which is about twice as expensive. That's one of the few better ice creams at the grocery store. Halo top is stevia, fruit and air instead of corn syrup, corn oil, and air like 90% of the grocery store. Is halo top expensive where you live? Halo Top is half as much ice cream, so it should be cheaper. quote:Halo Top has more air whipped into it than other ice creams, meaning it weighs just 256 grams to the 428 grams of a Ben & Jerry’s pint, as Time has pointed out. By me it's still $4-5/pint, so it's also BWM.

That kind of fight isn't about whatever you are arguing about, and it is best to get down to what you are actually fighting about early on.

poo poo happens and natural disasters and health problems are no joke. But the last time they made a mortgage payment Obama was President. That's like $100k they haven't paid. If they can't make it work after that, then there probably isn't a workable solution. Just let it go, man. Let it go...

Motronic posted:True on that specific parking regulation - but I was speaking more generally about regs that the uninformed don't necessarily see as NIMBY-ism, like permeable land requirements, onerous stormwater management or traffic engineering study requirements, and a laundry list of others. You have made some good points about balancing economics, density and equality, but this is a bad take. I'm a design professional working principally in urban areas and permeable land requirements and stormwater management needs are critical because 60+ years of conventional civil engineering strategies have had disastrous results. Also, traffic studies are pretty easy to game if you are so inclined.

Twerk from Home posted:Aldi makes a knockoff halo top that's the same stuff for under $3 a pint. I tried Halo Top once and for the price, I'd rather get ice cream that actually seems creamy instead of like a freezer-burnt brick. Maybe that's exclusive to the red velvet flavor, but I sure as hell wasn't buying another pint to check.

Magissima posted:I agree with your plan 100% but Tokyo doesn't actually have this at all. Iirc the central loop line is run by JR East, the semi-privatized descendant of the national rail network, and there are a number of other privately owned subway lines in addition to the municipal subway. There was a great article about the insane costs of building any subway track in NYC. The ridiculous costs aren’t just because this is a big city. quote:An accountant discovered the discrepancy while reviewing the budget for new train platforms under Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. But surely any major world city would have the same costs? Nah, Paris is doing the same project for a sixth of the cost. quote:In Paris, which has famously powerful unions, the review found the lower costs were the result of efficient staffing, fierce vendor competition and scant use of consultants. Building anything for the subway in NYC: GWM if you’re connected, BWM for everyone else. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-construction-costs.html

Noggin Monkey posted:the burden is on the municipality I'm not trying to be purposefully naive, but that doesn't seem at all responsive to my question. Why is it that the increased tax income from new residents doesn't make up for this? And if you answer is "it's not enough" my next question will be "why did the set their tax rate too low or why can't they modify it based on the reality of what's changed/what is happening now"

We are a society that believes anything can be overcome except when poor people might benefit. Then it’s impossible even when other countries do it (healthcare, wages, transportation). Granted, most of the countries that do this stuff well benefit from a homogenous society that’s wildly racist but so long as it’s African population stays under 1%, investing in public services is still investing in themselves. On the topic of Halo Top, allocate your calories better and you can eat real ice cream. It’s expensive trash.

Halo top is an barely even icecream-adjacent product that comes pre freezer burned. It is garbage and horrible.

gently caress ice cream, frozen custard is where it's at. At least 10% milkfat and extra artery-clogging egg yolk. Bad with money: my father in law, who has spent thousands of dollars on bullshit MLM conferences and self help seminars already, has decided to start a new job - buying leads so that he can sell insurance. My husband asked how much it would cost... just a few hundred dollars for the certification. Plus he has to buy every single lead. And he knows nothing about insurance, which means this is for one of those lovely companies who sells insurance people don't need or that just sells the certification, who knows, who cares.

Midjack posted:Is ice cream bad for public transportation too? Someone drops their half empty Cherry Garcia pint on the platform, someone else slips on it does a header in front of an arriving train. So very many possibilities. If then someone postulates that said public transportation was a stagecoach funded by horse-backed cryptocurrency, and then John Smith showed up to tell us all how the person who got run over deserved it because only poor people take public transportation - why then I think we'll have hit the BWM thread lottery. Crossing my fingers here.
