didn’t make such a comparison.
[/quote]No, but half the articles about this I found doing some research did. They compared “percent of stations that are compliant” between American cities. Easy for DC’s brand new system to get “100%” when it doesn’t run nights or weekends.
I found a case study. The Time Square Shuttle station (serves the smallest line in the entire system) costs $28.93 million to be made ADA compliant with what appears to be a single elevator, and it requires the removal of an entire platform, as well as the loss of linking tracks currently used for maintenance.
Also, to veer back into “things of your day”, here’s a great map showing what the NYC Subway looks like if you’re in a wheelchair.
“The zoo keepers are isolating him from Hululu for his health. It turns out, Grape-kun wasn’t eating his food because he was too busy chilling with Hululu. Grape-kun is 20, which is elderly for a penguin, so his cute antics could cause him to die from malnutrition.”
Skirt steak is pretty cheap and I have followed his steps myself and it is fantastic. That can reasonably accommodate a moderately-sized gathering and most of the cooking the grill master can actually spend playing a quick game with the group.
Long twitter thread about that. But yeah, I didn’t have any reaction to anything presented. In general, new facts that prove me wrong about something excite me more than anything.
The one about Pledge of Alliance worried me for a bit, as I had no idea what Pledge of Alliance is and I thought that I had forgotten something important from history class. But that whole thing was clearly targeted for Americans, which makes sense, it would be impossible to make something like that to be all encompassing.
My only problem with this is that I don’t have any strong connection to George Washington, either pro or con. My main bad reaction to the facts about his false teeth was in the dodgy comma usage in the comic. For a while I wasn’t sure what reaction I was meant to be having, especially when I already knew a lot of the surprising facts he wrote, like the height of Napoleon or the life expectancy of house flies.
I guess I need a comic written specifically for me.
I’ll admit, I closed the comic after five panels because it was so full of itself. I only reread it because Luke said George Washington was in it (I’m not a huge fan, but he’s an interesting dude). The source cited says he bought the teeth from slaves, who presumably lost them for natural wear. This seems to me to be no revelation in his heinous crimes as a slaveholder, but as a revelation that he was the tooth fairy.
