can you guys send us incubators? Doctors in some isolated cities are tired of repurposing Coke bottles for preemies

Yes those are some of the reasons given but they don't really stand up to any scrutiny. For example this building predates the standard so they aren't really keeping any character, just enforcing a new one. Not to mention that's entirely a subjective quality that's being determined by a small group of officials.
Utilities some how manage on significantly smaller easements just fine all over the US and the world. And fire fighting has come a long way in the past 2000 years. There's a ton of detail on this one that's a bit beyond a reddit comment but this is really unnecessary today. At worst you can mandate firebreaks in lue of offset but for some reason municipalities across the US just use this blanket ban instead, despite virtually every single one having at least one district that manages to get by without these mandates.

That McDonald's? It was a lot more than just that McDonalds. There were hundreds of cases of hot coffee burns each year by that point, hers was just the one that got full coverage and everything it got due some specifics. Her case was not uncommon at the time though, not even close to uncommon.

That was my guess too. Stupidest things that I have ever seen.

Was actively trying to be a dick about it. Just because that individual can't afford it doesn't mean that such establishments don't have a place in the market. I don't eat at such places even REMOTELY regularly, but for a special occasion or to treat a date, I will absolutely spend the money on a good meal!

We're downvoting because anyone who's been on the internet more than 5 minutes knows that swastikas are common in other cultures. We're tired of the fake rage bait and the same 3 factoids about swastikas being repeated every time the topic comes up.

I have no idea why, they must have been sorted by can which seems completely pointless when they’re getting recycled lmao

Yes, the reverse and 45-degree angle "facts" aren't really facts at all. There are many instances of un-tilted swastikas in Nazi Germany, notably at the Nuremburg parade grounds. But redditors are compelled to post the one thing they know every damned time this topic comes up.

I think one of them soiled themselves.

I wonder if anyone in this thread will point out that the swastika existed for thousands of years before the Nazis appropriated it.

There's a number of reasons to have setback requirements. Keeping the character of a neighborhood, providing space for easements for utilities, fire considerations (spacing buildings) ect

Just 2. The tools come together in a single use kit. And each tool can only be used once - so that’s two of every possibly needed tool since people generally have two testicals and two vas deferens.

A friend and I are reading Ulysses together but she won't have her copy til this weekend, so I have a 5 day window to read something else. It'll either be this or Death in Venice and the Crying of Lot 49. Sound and the Fury is on my list too but it scares me
