Bank/finance VP is a fairly lowly title and AVP means you are barely above a graduate trainee. It's not like a real business when the VP of Marketing or whatever is really senior position

GCC missed a trick when they recently started varying parking permit costs by emmissions but not also by weight. It would have been easy enough to do
The bbc had a story about a council (highland or argyle or something) postponing their tourist tax/visitor levy recently and for some inexplicable reason they felt the need to include Living Rent's views on the matter in their story
Me, before reading: ffs there's no 'right' way to load a dishwasher
Me, after reading: well, turns out there certainly is a wrong one
Who stacks plates in a dishwasher? Like how are you imagining the cleaning process there?
I just started a rewatch the other day. Been so long I've forgotten almost everything and just get brief flashes of recollection in some episodes. But it's soooo fkn good
Using detailed address-level microdata, we trace movement chains originating with the initial residents of The Central and document three main findings. First, we show the building generated a substantial number of local vacancies. We identify 180 specific addresses that became vacant because of moves into The Central. Scaling to account for data coverage suggests the new tower induced more than 500 local vacancies in the three years after construction, by setting off chains of moves. Second, while The Central units were expensive on a per-square-foot basis, the homes vacated by movers were significantly cheaper. Homes left behind by those moving into The Central were about 40% less expensive. Unlike much of the prior literature, which track the changing neighborhood characteristics of movers
Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby.

the kid's other grandpa being Tony Hawk isn't making me feel any younger
This is almost as bad as the time Spotify tried to tell me Nirvana were Dad Rock
I loved that Union Dixie version you posted and it's been stuck in my head ever since, so I guess i can allow one unfortunate music opinon

Truth and Reconciliation Commission where the BBC can explain why i was reading "Light Rain Showers" on their website at the exact same time as I was watching a river run down Sauchiehall Street
Dutch lying about how much they read before dating apps were even a thing
Frequent bouts of angst about the wealthy buying influence through donations but their ability to fund cynical campaigns of lawfare against polical opponents seems to get a pass
The Gun twat is one of the worst - this is at least the 3rd case against GCC/ScotGov he's funded in the last few yrs
wiki article about the scottish DRS and UK Government insistence on glass being removed from it
Including glass is no longer a threat to the UK single market then!
"Glasgow was way better when i was young and bouncing round town with my pals. Now that i have a bad back, live in a cul-de-sac in Croy, and spend all my time chasing after my kids, it's totally gone downhill. No, i'm not projecting. Don't be daft"
You don't even need to go that far back. Glasgow was getting called the murder capital of western europe as recently as the early 2000s! There were years when more people were murdered within GCC boundaries than have been across the whole of Scotland in recent years
Yeah less vinyl playing hipster bars and organic bakeries back then i suppose
when did you live in dennistoun? i'd say the actual high street bit of duke street is in pretty good health now
Now you say it i can totally see that - the two communities united by their love of making money without earning it
I don't know if downtown SF on a saturday night is that orderly an environment and they seem able to cope with that sort of thing
The fact you can step out in front of them and be sure they won't just drive into you might end up being their big problem, as you cannot assume that with plenty drivers
I think it takes a bit of status quo bias not to be have hopes for self driving cars - 1000s of people are killed and maimed every single year on our roads right now. We've just come to accept it as background noise
you can see how Bath St there on the left used to have the Mitchell bookending it before they realigned it to make it easier for cars to continue straight down Berkeley St
the weird sign seems to have finally been removed from Tay House. Never let anyone tell you your journalism doesn't make a difference!
this isn't a man i could trust to run the country
I’m sorry but “back onto our streets” is not an honest phrase to use about a criminal who was released on December 17th because he was terminally ill and died on New Year’s Day.
do you know who owns the building? Is it the CCA themselves or do they lease it from the council or something?
