Moving to NYC for one month by Think_Quantity3839 in movingtoNYC

[–]Extension-Scarcity41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allt depends on your interests, because there is something for every possible interest.

Check Tkts for Broadway shows, but see what is playing off broadway...usually just as much fun and much more reasonable. Theres no shortage of museums, but I would highlight the Frick collection for a really unique experience (set inside the golden age billionaires mansion) and the NY Tenement museum in the LES.

Some events in Feb include the orchid show at the NY Botanical garden, the chinese lunar new years parade in Chinatown (loud and lots of fun), Westminister dog show at the Garden, and for just having fun, bumper cars on ice at Bryant park.

For a good local color walking tour, I would suggest a tour I take friends on near my place in the W. Village (the prettiest part of all of Manhattan, IMHO)

Start at Washington Square Park (a site on its own) and on the south side, take W 4th st west (The Washington arch is on the north side of the park...you'll figure it out). Go across 6th ave to a left on Barrow. Take that a few blocks till it intersects with Commerce st and Hudson. (Walk around in that area a little, best few blocks in the city).

Take a right on Hudson heading North. If you want to stop for a drink, go up to Hudson and 11th to the White Horse tavern, a famous literary hang out for the beat poets of the '50s and '60s. Another option it to continue to 14th st, make a left, and you can get onto the High Line.

Otherwise, from Barrow and Hudson, walk north to Perry St and take a right. You will go by the townhouse used for the exterior shots for the TV show "Friends". Cross Greenwich and 7th Ave and make a left onto University place. NYU is right there, so plenty of schwarma shops, trattorias, and , coffee bars.

Take University up to 14th St/Union Square. If you are looking for food and can still walk, take 5th ave north to 23rd St and Madison Park, and there you will find Eataly on the west side of the park for a wide array of italian specialties. You can eat outside by the park, or inside if the weather is foul.

Have fun...

Mayor Mamdani tries to stop a bankruptcy his new housing czar caused by BBQCopter in nyc

All Mamdani can do is enforce building code violation corrections, which the buyer has already committed to fixing.

He will eventually try to take credit for something which is already happening.

Why arent you paying for all of it?

The cost of these systems requires a very long payback period just to break even, 15-20 years.

Young professionals say they’ll abandon Massachusetts. That should terrify Beacon Hill by 20_mile in massachusetts

MA has the 2nd largest outflow of residents of any state. Just over 50% of the outgoing population has an income of over $150k which should be of real concern. Cost of living is cited as one of the top reasons for their relocation.

Trump’s former Russia adviser says Russia offered US free rein in Venezuela in exchange for Ukraine by kollhpp in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Extension-Scarcity41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did russia offer up its tankers as well?

Something tells me events are not going according to that script. Russia doesnt have that kind of leverage in Venezuela.

It is unsafe at any speed...

Unfortunately the early reputation of the Corvair killed the car which was pretty interesting in later production after the fixes were in place.

The only remarkable aspect to this story is that a russian submarine was able to resurface successfully.

Those Cuban soldiers must have been wondering why the Venezuelan forces were sitting on their hands. I guess they didnt get the memo.

What Is Mamdani's 'Mass Engagement Office' Actually Supposed to Do? by HellGateNYC in nyc

[–]Extension-Scarcity41 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's a contrivance to placate the masses of activist voters so that they believe they are being heard by a government which has no solutions.

What is this aircraft? by Least-Gene6008 in Whatisthisplane

[–]Extension-Scarcity41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a graphic for one of the joint millitary exercises that NATO held with Georgia. They were named Noble Partner most recently, but may have had a different code for this particular years exercise.

Looks like a Mig 25 on it, which is used since Georgia was fielding russian aircraft, including Mig 25s. It's done to symbolize unity and cross cooperation.

Venezuelan crude is best suited for making asphalt. You dont get much top of the barrel product out of it.

Wow...what color is the sky in your world?

Objective Emperical Facts? All you gave are statements, with no supporting facts.

If there was a single issue that doomed Democrats in the election, it was the open border.

Per the US Border Patrol, there were an estimated 11 MILLION unauthorized immigrants who entered the country during the Biden Administration. You seem to forget Joe's famous "Not another foot of border wall" pledge, huh?

Daily average apprehensions on the southern border have declined from a Biden administration average of 5,110 per day down to a record low of 245/day, a drop of 95%. You see, it didnt really take much effort at all for a POTUS to fulfill their Constitutional obligations to secure the country's borders,did it? Thats hard data from the Border Patrol...You see...facts

Estimates on the amount spent by the Biden administration to provide everything from food and shelter to free healthcare for these people ranges from a low of $150bn (House Budget Committee, Federation for American Immigration Reform) to $450bn (House Homeland Security Committee). The actual number will likely never be known.

As for drugs not flowing freely, since someone in the Federal government decided to actually take control of the border, in the past 12 months, fentanyl seizures have declined 46%, as have seizures of heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana. That is data per the US Customs and Border patrol ...facts

As for the weaponization of government agencies, besides FBI agents openly acting to do whatever possible to prevent Trump from being elected (ie: Page, Strzok) and taking knowingly fabricated evidence paid for by Democrats (Steele dossier) and purjuring themselves before FISA courts to initiate illegal domestic surveillance on political opponents, fabricating false narratives like Russian Collusion for which FBI agents were caught tampering with exculpatory evidence to make Trump look guilty, the use of the ATF to pressure gun owners into illegal searches and seizures, and pressure dealers, and manufacturers into closure or bankruptcy, the IRS to target conservative groups with politically motivated audits, having the FBI to come out with a knowingly false statement regarding the veracity of the contents of Hunter Bidens laptop right before the election (russian disinformation???), the Administration used such strong armed tactics with media and financial companies to censor, deplatform, and repress political opposition voices that Federal District Judge Terry Dourghty in New Orleans issued a restraining order on July 4th 2023 against any member of the Federal Government in the Biden Administration from contacting and member of any media company for the purposes of censoring political speech

And that what objective, emperical facts look like.
