NY needs to do something to reinvent themselves. They need to look to Europe and build out a serious public transportation system. NY is too deep to go to the low tax systems that Texas or Florida do to inspire growth. They and California need to go European with high taxes and huge social services to make it work. They could do it, if they are smart about it. They need a LOT of rail and they need it to really work, unlike it is today. But the I90 corridor and the ST corridor are so dense and linear that they could, even with all the open space, pull off a European style structure out there if they were smart.
NY city should just become it's own state then the rest of us in upstate NY can quit paying for their turd shaped island. Taxes are high enough already. We just need to be smarter how we use them.

Upstate NY has been trying to drop NYC for decades.

I would love to see what the tax burden on upstate NY is compared to NYC. I've heard that upstate pays for NYC and I've heard the NYC pays for upstate in pretty much the same sentence before.

Connecting pieces, like how they had to use rubber bands to connect the tips of his fingers back to the main part of his hands!

You two are so cute. I'll try to remember not to gross you out with stories about what my wife went through.
Was the site being built on an existing platform like Drupal? Most people here could probably handle getting standard payment methods hooked up with one of those. Am I remembering right that @DonutDetroyer was working on something custom?

@travisdh1 I once had my side torn open when I was ten. Totally exposed, all along my rib cage. Damage was so bad the doctors told my dad he would unlikely be able to make it to the hospital before I expired. It was... gross to say the least. Spent that whole summer wrapped up to seal it all from infection. Had to be iodined daily. Still have nerve damage and an out of place rib. That was 30 years ago this June.
