This morning 3 older Portuguese dudes hanging out at dunkin donuts. One of them was just casually wearing a weightlifting belt with jorts and a tshirt.

Not sure I've ever seen a Portuguese dude. Were the three guys wearing shirts that said:

Guy 1: "We're"
Guy 2: "From"
Guy 3: "Portugal"

?

does it get much worse than throwing clothes in the dryer and realizing that you must have left about six coins in your pockets and then having to decide if you'll ride out the annoying clanging or stop the dryer and fish out the coins?

i think not.

If I'm not mistaken, those in Manhattan who don't drive do it for some combination of a few reasons:

1) They don't need a car, or at least don't see the need for a car.
2) They aren't willing to pay for expensive real estate to store a car.
3) They aren't good at "dealing with the complexities of NYC driving".

So people who are rich might be willing to deal with #2 as long as #1 and #3 go away. With driverless cars, people like Gilbert Gottfried won't have to worry about driving in a city with nothing but crazy, professional drivers. He also might enjoy riding out to Jersey or Long Island without having to hire a limo or sit in a yellow car with a smelly immigrant.

I'm assuming dnh meant Manhattan when he said "NYC", since others have said that it's less optimal to not have a car in other boroughs.

Not sure if having extra people like Gilbert Gottfried out clogging traffic so he can drive to the dollar store is +EV for Manhattan but individuals may enjoy getting around without having to hire a driver.
Lol "dollar store" in Manhattan.

Traffic is more about the commuters, trucks, and taxis than the residents. Trucks are typically fine because we fine them up the ass. Taxis are a problem because the drivers have often not slept for three days and will have "scores" to settle between each other. Big gain by replacing those guys. The commuters are a problem because they all want to go to the same places at the same ****ing time. Huge gain by centralizing control of a decent portion of that group.

Most residents would still not want a car nor need one, but the 6 times per year they rent a car would go much more smoothly, the 50 times per year they take a cab would almost certainly involve fewer requests for the drivers to pull over so they can vomit from start-stop idiotic motion sickness, and in general they would notice their commuting coworkers appeared more rested and pleasant and less "dicklike".

I mean, the city occaisionally kicks around ideas for big changes to allay congestion because they know it costs them massive amounts of money and is a drag on quality of life. Enormous tolls and entry passes valid only on certain days are just a few of them. This would work much better and won't get any toll booth operators shot.

That's what I was going to ask - if you recognized Portuguese but then how do you know they weren't Brazilian? Seems much more likely.

Dalai Lama is actually giving Tulane's commencement speech on Saturday. I had to fly home for my Mom's retirement party, but definitely would have gone otherwise.
