Selling items rules review

As noted in the subreddit about section, this is a highly moderated subreddit.

One of the most frequent issues is "For Sale" type posts. These are getting out of hand.

Please review these rules before posting.

"We have no problem with the for sale posts in this sub, however please keep everything you are selling to one post and only post once. If the mods see you repeatedly posting what you weren't able to sell/get rid of the first time the post will be removed.

POSTS MUST INCLUDE:

Include in TITLE: Brief description, price, specific location, pick up or delivery

Include in TEXT: Further description and price with photos (link to website if needed)

When all items are sold from the post please delete the post."

We will continue to delete posts that don't follow these rules.

Crescent and 30th Drive disturbance?

Looks like a pretty decent crowd, multiple police cars, and EMS. Crescent was blocked, but it looks open now?

Syncing to fitness app?

I'm back riding Citibikes regularly again after a few years off. I swear the app used to sync to Google Fit and accurately track rides, but now it just draws a straight line from pickup to drop-off? Am I missing something? I liked that data collecting automatically.

Edit: Searching old reddit threads, it looks like this function started to get phased out in 2019. Rats.

NY Post article about pension reform

https://nypost.com/2026/05/08/us-news/hochul-proposes-500m-pension-sweetener-as-she-battles-unions-in-budget-stand-off/

Highlights:

- This is still not settled, but it looks like Hochul isn't going to hold to promises she made in March.

- The Post thinks "whatever deal is struck is likely to put a major strain on local governments, schools, public hospitals and law enforcement — which risk a mass exodus that could lead to service cuts."

Unclear exactly how they're figuring there'd be a mass exodus of tier 6 retrees that currently have (at most) 14 years of service.
