One of the most beautiful features of old European neighborhoods are the rows of quaint, walk-up apartments that are the backbone of walkable neighborhoods. They help create a community where people can exit their front door and walk to a local café or market without getting in their car.Unfortunately, these neighborhoods are hard to find in the United States, where these types of apartment buildings are exceedingly rare. Why is that? In the video below, About Here’s founder, Uytae Lee, explains why regulations in North America have made these quaint walk-up apartments, known by architects as point access blocks, nearly impossible to build. Uytae Lee is an urban planner and videographer passionate about sharing stories about our cities.“Quaint, walk-up apartments … are a beloved feature in cities around the world,” Lee says in his video entitled “Why North Americans Can’t Have Nice Apartments.” “They’re inviting and full of character. But, here in North America, they are not allowed to be built today. Instead, our departments are big and imposing, often stretching across the entire block and the reason why it really comes down to one reason: staircases.”Why North America Can't Build Nice ApartmentsThe problem is that one stairway in a point access block allows access to all apartments. This became a problem in the late 1800s when fires were commonplace in urban areas worldwide and people were more likely to die in a fire with only one exit route. So, in the U.S. and Canada, they created new regulations that made it so all buildings over 2 to 3 stories had to have two staircases to allow them to exit during a fire.“Staircases take up a lot of space and fitting two of them in a small building means that there is much less usable floor space on every floor,” Lee says in the video. “As a result, developers here construct much larger buildings so that the staircases and hallways take up a much smaller proportion of the overall building. It's why apartments in North America, in general, are much bigger and wider than their European counterparts.”But there are fires in Europe, too. Why did they stop short of requiring multiple staircases in apartment buildings on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? Instead of changing the floorplans on new buildings, Europeans opted to require fireproof materials in new building construction. A big reason why the U.S. and Canada opted for larger buildings over fireproofing was because they had better access to materials and the new direction aligned with the move towards suburban sprawl.The two-staircase regulations in the U.S also made it harder to build units greater than one bedroom because the buildings needed long hallways which reduced the number of layout options.The current housing crisis has many rethinking the regulations that require apartment buildings to have two stairways in North America. Many urban planners believe that modern-day demands mean we should return to building more point access block buildings, but this time with modern fire-retardant materials.In some cities, such as Seattle, Washington, lawmakers have repealed staircase mandates and begun building point access block housing to ease the crisis.“Now, if all this makes you a bit nervous, I get it. After all, these codes are about our safety. But I do want to mention that these codes do change over time as our technology and our understanding of safety evolves,” Lee finishes the video. “It’s important that we discuss and update these rules as our world changes.”This article originally appeared on 12.13.23

Reddit user cutecutejames posted a great question on the AskReddit subforum: “What is a quote from a comedian you'll never forget?” The post quickly went viral, receiving over 10,700 responses on the first day. Of the countless comedians mentioned in the thread, Norm Macdonald appears to be the most quotable.Sadly, Macdonald died of cancer in 2021, but he was famous for his outlandish musings, delivered in a dry, deliberate tone. Macdonald is best known as a stand-up comedian, but he was also memorable on television as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" from 1993 to 1997 and on his sitcom, “The Norm Show.”Two other deceased funnymen were often quoted in the discussion, Mitch Hedberg and George Carlin.Hedberg’s comedy was based on short, memorable one-liners filled with absurdity. He passed away in 2005 from a drug overdose. George Carlin is often listed among the greatest stand-up comedians of all time and was a voice of the counterculture in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Later in life, his comedy evolved into a nihilistic criticism of American life that, for many, is still relevant today.“It's called 'the American Dream' 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it,” Carlin said.Here are 21 of the funniest and most poignant quotes from a comedian shared on the AskReddit forum.1.Jabazaba wrote:"Every time you clog a toilet, you exceeded someone’s expectations." — Unknown2.ShofarD**kSwordFight wrote:"Everybody thinks they're a comedian. Especially in my line of work." — Norm MacdonaldThis came from Macdonald's memoir, "Based on a True Story," a must-read for Norm fans. My favorite thing about this line is that it was a sort of random throwaway, almost an afterthought, as he was expressing disdain for a doctor who told a joke and got a big laugh from everyone else in the room.And that doctor's joke? It was Macdonald's own moth story.3. NotoriousREV wrote:“I’m not an adventurous person. I’ve only ever used one side of a cheese grater.” — James Acaster4.TheZMage wrote:“I’ve started cooking with wine. That sounds so fancy, cooking with wine. What I do is I get drunk and I make rice. I tell my friends ‘come over, I’m cooking with wine.’ They come over, I’m drunk, and there’s rice everywhere.” — Kevin Nealon5. Biggoofydoofus wrote:"What is it like to have four kids? Imagine you are drowning, and then someone hands you a baby." — Jim Gaffigan6.Mysterious-Judge-333 wrote:"I find a duck's opinion of me is very much influenced by whether or not I have bread." — Mitch Hedberg7.SalveBrutus wrote:“Cocaine is God's way of saying you make too much money." — Robin Williams8.NecroeJoe wrote:"I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'." — Bob Newhart9.KingNewbie wrote:“People say someone lost their battle with cancer. But if someone dies from cancer, the cancer dies too. I’d call that a draw.” — Norm MacDonald10.ElvishMystical wrote:"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, which is just long enough to be president of the United States." — Spike Milligan11.Active Oppressor wrote:"When you are on fire, and running down the street, people will get out of your way." — Richard Pryor12.Buttflakes27 wrote:"I was walking down the street the other day and these construction workers were working on the roof hammering away.

The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while.Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, 'Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, 'Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.'And we … kill those people.'Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride.And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." — Bill HicksThis article originally appeared on 4.3.23

A bunch of years ago, our family traveled around the United States as nomads for a year, driving thousands of miles through dozens of states. And throughout the entirety of that kind of epic road trip, I never once learned that there's a system for how our highways are numbered. It always seemed random, but it's so very not. A viral Facebook post sharing just two basic principles of interstate highway numbering blew my mind, and also the minds of approximately 196,000 other people who shared the post in the past few days. Rich Evans included two images showing the East-West interstate highways and the North-South interstate highways with this explanation:"I always knew there was a logic to it, but I never saw it explained so well until I stumbled upon this delightfully informative short video on how the US interstates are numbered. Those with 2-digits traverse the entire country.If they end in "0" they run East-West (10, 20, 30, ..)If they end in "5" they run North-South (5, 15, 25, ..)Those with 3-digits are bypasses and contain the last 2 digits of the interstates they bypass.That's it! (plus exceptions ) Neat!"It is neat, actually. But it's even a bit more complex than that, and the video link Evans shared explains it all in a clear (usually) and funny way. "The Interstate's Forgotten Code" from CGP Grey uses animation to show that the numbering system does indeed have a rhyme and reason, despite there being a few notable exceptions. (A highway system would be boring if it always followed the rules, wouldn't it?)Enjoy learning something new if you didn't already know this: This article originally appeared on 2.17.22

Seven years ago, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards started highlighting some of the funniest photos of the animal kingdom, and after its runaway success, its founders created the Comedy Pet Photo Awards. The goal of the annual competition is to "promote positive awareness of animal welfare issues and celebrate the incredible and valuable contribution that pets can and do have on our lives.”The competition's organizers, with the help of Animal Friends Pet Insurance, backed up that pledge this year by donating £10,000 ($11,270) each to three separate charities to help improve the lives of pets and promote their work.Th2 2022 winner is Kenichi Morinaga of Japan with his brilliant photo of two cats sitting on a fence, cheek to cheek—or neck and neck. The photo, entitled "Boom Boom," beat out more than 2,000 entries to win the top prize, £2,000 ($2,250) cash and a £5,000 ($5635) donation from Animal Friends Pet Insurance to go toward the animal welfare or conservation charity of the winner's choice.Morinaga fell in love with photographing street cats while on a backpacking trip to Europe.“Suddenly, I became fascinated by the antics of cats out in the streets and had to photograph them,” he said in a statement. “When I returned to Japan, I continued to seek them out, they really cheer me up, especially after the last two years of the pandemic—they are so funny, even when they are doing something serious. This amazing competition reminded me that such gestures from all animals are recognized as being hilarious, cute and heart-warming not only in Japan but all over the world."Here are 15 of the best photos from the 2022 Comedy Pet Photo Awards.Winner: Kenichi Morinaga "Boom Boom" (two cats, Japan)"Cats are bumped on the wall suddenly.

Cuba, which for years has been subject to near-endless blackouts on a daily basis, reached on Monday the fourth day of an ongoing nationwide blackout. Its barely functional power grid collapsed entirely on Friday, leaving almost the whole country without power for the past few days – with the exception of the regime-connected wealthy, who rely on independent power generators for their electricity. Cuban officials reportedly attempted to bring the power grid back online, only for it to collapse again at least four more times throughout the weekend.   The dramatic situation prompted Cubans to flock to the streets in several of the country’s towns, including the capital, Havana, to protest the communist regime and demand a solution to the ongoing emergency. An unnamed Cuban citizen from a Havana neighborhood told the independent outlet 14 y Medio on Sunday that the Castro regime had cut the scarcely functional internet signal “because the people are still here in the street, not even by landline can you call, but the protest is felt everywhere.”   Source: breitbart.com Report: ICC Prosecutor Seeking Netanyahu Arrest Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegation International Criminal Court (ICC) officials confirmed  this weekend that they had been made aware of an alleged accusation of sexual harassment against top prosecutor Karim Khan, who himself denied any wrongdoing and suggested he and his family had faced targeted harassment themselves.

Further, suppose that the disastrous June 27 debate with Trump had not taken place, or that Biden had been firing on all cylinders that night. Would Biden have been forced to withdraw? And whether Harris loses or wins, some will ask whether Biden might still have been a better candidate.

Kylie Jane Kremer, Executive Director of Women for America First, revealed the shocking details of Raffensperger’s private email sent to trial lawyers across the state. In a blatant abuse of power, Raffensperger allegedly used his personal Gmail and cell number to ask for a jaw-dropping $5 million by November 1st to fund his mysterious “Election Defense Fund, Inc,” which was created last year. But let’s be real—it’s not about “defending” elections; it’s about weaponizing power against those fighting for election integrity! In his email, Raffensperger claims that his 501(c)(4) organization is dedicated to protecting this year’s election results, targeting local officials who may delay certification. But this is nothing more than a cover-up for silencing the brave patriots standing up against election fraud!   Kremer did some digging and uncovered an even more shocking revelation: Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s crony and the man overseeing the Fulton County election audit, sits on the board of this so-called Election Defense Fund. “When I dug into “Election Defense Fund” I was even more shocked to find Ryan Germany on the Board of the c4 EDF organization that was created in October 2023. He is listed as the Secretary of EDF,” Kremer wrote. “The same Ryan Germany who is supposed to be overseeing the Fulton County election as the auditor. The same Ryan Germany who was involved in the corruption of 2020.”     of its charitable registration documentation that would permit Mr. Raffensperger to solicit funds on its behalf.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com How does Brad Raffensperger know “the results in Georgia are going to be close”?

Absolutely unprecedented in a presidential year. Republicans: 96,858 Democrats: 88,983 Data: @MichaelPruser — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 22, 2024 The noticeable surge in Trump's odds on betting sites is due not only to favorable polls but also to the early voting trends, which generally show Democrats underperforming in the vote-by-mail and early vote. — Election Wizard (@ElectionWiz) October 22, 2024 In 2016 The NY Times did a video on the 2000 election and how crazy it was to not have the results on Election Day. Now the media has conditioned America to expect to not have the results on Election Day. Efficiency seems to be going backwards. pic.twitter.com/iZX3Jp215g — MAZE (@mazemoore) October 22, 2024 Political Analyst Mark Halperin: If Early Vote Trend Continues, Trump Wins Early vote trends in swing states favor of former President Donald Trump and suggest “the election will be over on election day before we know who votes,” political analyst Mark Halperin said Tuesday on The Morning Meeting.     ‘If this continues, Donald Trump can’t lose because the Democrats can’t possibly do well enough on election day,’” Halperin explained. The 2020 election is a difficult benchmark to extrapolate to date, but the data appears to be in favor of Trump, Halperin added:   Source: breitbart.com   early voting would help to ensure votes are counted on time  Early voting makes it harder to steal the election, less people going to the polls the harder it is to rig the machines so peoples votes do not count Remember they are counting the votes now, they know how many people voted, they know how many are in the country, this was done on purpose so people can see the numbers.  Donald Trump Says MAGA Is Nearly Triple the Size of His 2020 Popular Vote  Trump boasted about the size of the MAGA movement during a podcast interview, saying that there were now more than triple the number of members than those who voted for him in 2020. “We have MAGA—Make America Great Again—you know all about it. Right now, it’s 200 million people, maybe even more, representing a majority of the country,” the Republican presidential nominee told WWE legend Mark “The Undertaker” Calaway Monday on his Six Feet Under show.

So in order to REFORM ELECTIONS— Trump offers a NATION-WIDE REFERENDUM PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Vote Trump or Harris Nation-wide election On paper ballots No machines Hand counts Same-day results It would be a way for Trump to PROVE that machines can’t be trusted, & SHOW PEOPLE he won in a HISTORIC landslide! We accomplish this by #FLOODINGtheVOTE to overcome any cheating that comes FROM WITHIN. In NOV 2020, Trump made it crystal clear that we PREVENTED foreign interference in the 2020 ELECTION……meaning 2020 was RIGGED by the DEEP STATE. So they are relying on THE VOTERS to SWAMP THE CHEATING! But Dems will try to blame TRUMP’S win on machines & foreign interference— which, coincidentally, is the perfect excuse for SAME DAY, PAPER BALLOT ELECTIONS. can the save act that was passed by the house be used in a nation wide referendum presidential election The SAVE Act, as described, focuses on enhancing election integrity by ensuring only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Here’s how it relates to a nationwide referendum presidential election: Purpose and Function: The SAVE Act’s primary aim is to prevent non-citizens from voting, which could theoretically apply to any type of federal election, including a referendum. Application in Referendums: Direct Voting: If a presidential election were structured as a referendum, where the public directly votes on a specific issue or candidate without an intermediate electoral college process, the SAVE Act’s requirements would still apply. This means each individual voter would need to have registered with proof of citizenship, aligning with the Act’s objective. Voter Eligibility: The Act would ensure that only those registered under its guidelines could participate, which would include voting in a referendum-style presidential election.     if the SAVE Act were to become law, it would apply to a nationwide referendum for a presidential election by ensuring only U.S. citizens could participate in the voting process.
