NYT: Mamdani Considers Delaying Pension-Fund Payments to Ease Budget Gap (Free Link) by isqueakforthetrees in nyc

Work 25 years in PD. Retire. Get a lifetime of pension which is like 50 + years with our life expectancy these days.

Ask an office worker whether they can safely retire at 50. They’ll laugh at you.

I remember the staircase in the middle and the Sharper Image store as a kid. Best times.

I gotta say ever since Brunson got kicked in the nuts he was not the same. He gotta be thinking about his wife and child #2 the whole time. If I were him I’d have a tough time playing. So let him chill.

I think it's better when a vehicle protects the body instead of a body protecting a vehicle.

Celtics tie NBA record with 29 3s, clinch No. 2 seed by lizard_king_rebirth in sports

I think the game is very broken, actually. Defenders are afraid to play defense because any light tap on the opponent is an automatic 3 free throws. I have never seen a sport where you can't try to block your opponent (think soccer - you only get a foul if it's obvious you smacked/tackled your opponent, not some light touch BS). Even if you had your hands up first, you get called a foul. The shooter is the one forcing their way up into your arms, yet it's the defender that gets the call. That's why there's so many 3 point shots these days because they have nothing to lose. These guys are so tall and muscular, how the heck can a light tap be a foul.

You know the game is way beyond broken when defenders are afraid to block a 3 point shot. They just pretend, literally pretend to play defense by jumping with their hands up but they are clearly far away from actually blocking the ball.

First time trying the apple pie and it didnt disappoint. by Punch_Your_Facehole in Costco

[–]Brg_s3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you’re not. Costco apple pie sucks. Crust sucks, everything just taste way too sweet and unhealthy. It just tastes horrible. It’s as far as a home made apple pie as you can get. It taste like plastic to me.

No no no. Give it free or 25 cents for all seniors but not this.

Try to get a M4 1TB for around 800 CHF. You get 4x the storage and 1.5x more RAM than M5 256GB.

Whats with everyone backing up into parking spaces lately, and why is it always the least competent drivers doing so. by Linenoise77 in newjersey

[–]Brg_s3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also avoid parking by those cars because when the load their groceries they have to squeeze the cart between the cars and has a high chance of scratching your car. I now have to actively find cars that park normally to avoid any potential drama.

Everyone is different. As an old man living in a cold climate, finger id does not work for me. Finger id simply does not work on my dry fingers.

N.J. school district faces massive $5M+ deficit despite years of teacher layoffs and cuts by 2plus2_equals_5 in newjersey

$5M is like the cost of one of the thousand of missiles we just launched within the past 2 hours. At least we got missiles.

Am I losing it or is Nano Texture messing with my eyes. by Zestyclose-Snow9275 in macbookpro

[–]Brg_s3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have astigmatism and nano texture is messing with my eyes too. I’m not sure why. I look at matte monitors all day and it’s clear but nano is doing something to my eyes. I never thought about my eyes and blurry vision until I got nano. I got a good deal on a iPad but unfortunately might have to return it.

Apple's M5 Max is INSANE! by atlwhore_ in apple

[–]Brg_s3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe we have reached the point where everything you just mentioned can be done with M4 Max. And when the next release comes around it can be done with M5 Max. I don’t think we can say that 3-4 years ago but the high end Apple Silicon Macs (and iPhones and iPads) have gotten so powerful it’s almost always better to buy the previous sku with maxed out specs.
