Judge reverses herself, allowing Northville to close downtown streets this summer after all

That’s good news, however it’s not like other opposing businesses owner doesn’t have a point

Specialty retail stores in the city’s downtown area seem to be doing OK, she noted. Those like hers, who sell clothing or other goods that can be found in many other locations, are not.

“Nobody asked us if we wanted closures,” Kauffman said. “Nobody came and talked to our business about what it would mean for us. Nobody’s supplementing my rent to make up for the losses that I have because I’m paying rent based on 30,000 to 60,000 cars a day. That’s the part that upsets me the most.”

I mean, I live in Europe but specifically in Italy, not exactly the ruling country in the field of walkable and carless road systems, so I get that people living in USA are extremely disadvantaged in this sense, but exactly because I live in Italy I also understand what it means when an authority makes chances that are good on paper but very badly executed in reality, that’s why I honestly can’t blame completely the people who disagreed with the closure

However I really hope they will be able to keep the neighbourhoods closed and safe in the end, but complaints needs to be listened and the people struggles acknowledged

That seems so nice, with even two decaf options I’m too a lover of fruity flavours especially with a good acidity, so I’m glad you’ve found one

I just added a new roasters I’ve discovered in Italy, you can check it on the main post

That’s interesting, I never heard of that. The thing is at the moment my bike commuting is extremely rare, just recently I started to ride around both for health reasons and because I simply enjoy it a lot.

But still, they seem indeed something to consider. What surprises me is that I supposed I needed to get a bike which is lighter than the one I’m riding (an old B’twin bike that someone gave to me), but maybe I was wrong

Now I’m curious to know where is that place but most of all what is your recipe

There is a caption under the picture, it says

Analysis based on children of average height, at European level, standing in the center of the front of vehicles. Drivers are of average height at European level.

But yeah, you’re totally right, the one described in the article is usually the best case scenario, the reality is even more problematic than that

That is quite surprising for me. I knew that outside Italy, and USA in particular, the coffee culture were a lot more varied, but I didn’t expect common stores to also embrace it in this was

However it makes sense actually. Heven here in normal stores you can find coffee for espresso machines and moka, however specific varieties and single origin roasts are getting more and more common

Yeah, that’s concerning. However after being on the Fediverse for a while, I understand that the freedom from corporations comes in a trade-off with privacy, and even if I’m not tech savvy I’m convinced this isn’t going to change. Maybe there should more understanding about this, and we should put online only things we are totally ok with being publicly available and share private stuff only in specific places such as encrypted chats

Not to mention that on the Fediverse you don’t have access to the whole spread network, by design. It is good for many aspects, but absolutely awful for search

Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex Some YouTube analysis about it really broke the magic for me

🖐️ I have a dumb question

Aren’t votes on Lemmy private?

Sorry I should have specified it, in each of these places they serve pour over coffee

Ecco qua https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/27183711

Ok I think this needs a separated post, I’ll work on it

Sì sono italiano, di Bologna! Fun fact, the Japanese lady who brewed the coffee actually knew Bologna from a trip she made a while ago, the world is small I guess

Finally I went to Tokyo and visited the Glitch shop in Ginza, and it was amazing! I can confirm the coffee is great but service in particular is flawless, from the presentation of the staff and the process to quality of the preparation.

In Japan is not guaranteed to find staff speaking good English, which is ok, I totally understand it’s not easy and one shouldn’t take it for granted, however I very much appreciated that all Glitch staff did speak perfect English, so I had the opportunity to ask some questions and even chat with the lady who prepared my V60

I also found the price not so high compared to what I find in Italy. Here you can get a good pour over in a specialty coffee in a range between 5 and 10 euro, most often 8. In Tokyo I paid 1500 yen, roughly 9 euro, so considering the high quality of the service I’d say their prices are pretty average

Clair the Lune always gives me goosebumps

Alto’a Adventure has a very good soundtrack, it really makes you feel atmosphere of the environment

Well I imagined their website was enough to get the context of the question. I heard about Jolla from a random Fediverse post so I went straight to just search its name eventually finding their website I just wanted to know if they sucked 🙃

Tbh I actually happen to be in an underground arena with 5 of them in sequence, so of course they killed me multiple times, but luckily the checkpoint was saved the very moment they died And the last one was an freaking armoured silver lynel so I used the only ancient arrow I had against him
