Yeah. I'm a little skeptical that the scottwiener-seizecontrol.org… image is actually NYC given how few of the cars have front license plates. But it seems like it could be a nice place to live...
AKL-EZE, AKL-SCL, SYD-SCL, SYD-JNB, GRU-JNB, PER-JNB, PER-MRU,... what else?
It's a small market, and the lack of diversion airports often requires the use of (less fuel-efficient) 4-engine aircraft.

PPT-RUN is a bit shorter if you want something that doesn't require a nearly-empty aircraft

An architectural preservationist just told me: One reason it's hard to put out fires in cathedrals is that pouring water on fire-heated stone will cause it to crack and shift
Palo Alto already has balcony minimums in the multifamily residential zones (but not CD-*). See the "Minimum private open space" entry in Table 2 of chapter 18.13 of the municipal code: library.amlegal.com/nxt/gate… (50 square feet per unit in RM-20, RM-30, and RM-40)

There is a point where a little bit more airport would be nice: goo.gl/maps/esCRBcSPpeq (smallest airport I've been to).

I don't see what the problem is, other than needing to mark the decimal points more clearly. (I assume $2.999 per gallon, 3.35 gallons, $10.05 total.) Then again, maybe I'm a decade too old to be confused? (I grew up with a microwave with that sort of dial for the timer.)

But it should be "on the entire lot" or "on half the lot", nothing to do with acres.

Worth comparing to at age ~45, and men versus women, to try to separate out maternal mortality.

Life expectancy at age 5 is often a much more interesting statistic than life expectancy at birth...

Why has the market determined that the capitalization rate in Menlo Park is 3.25%, but that it's 5% in Fruitvale? That difference explains the bulk of the difference in profitability, and I don't see an explanation of it.

Boardings per year? Isn't that 1.5 commuters?

Misidentifying a Clark's or Western Grebe (I think) as a duck is clearly a sign of something off... ;-)

That said, the roundabouts in France do not tend to slow people down...
or "vous n'avez pas la priorité" as they say in France (since roundabouts invert the usual rule that at an unsigned intersection you must yield to traffic to your right)

Though I wonder how often it's really the CEO who should get the blame rather than somebody a level or two under the CEO... and also how to tell the difference.

Does that mean I get to offer statehood to Puerto Rico (Atlantic standard time), American Samoa (Samoa standard time), and Guam and the Northern Marianas (Chamorro standard time), increasing the number to nine? law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/… law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/…
