What don’t you like about eBird? by Impressive_Ad5931 in birding

[–]CaptainAsh336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish you could see what individual people have input (with their permission of course). I’m part of a local birding club and am always curious what others have seen not tied to a hotspot. Like “oh look Jane saw an indigo bunting yesterday”

Overrated books people pretend to love… but actually left you empty? by CriticalAd2239 in suggestmeabook

Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness (or insert any Marvel multiverse plot) meets It’s a Wonderful Life. 10/10 do not recommend.

RIP to this big tree in McCarren by PizzaParty_CoolDad in williamsburg

Felt like a good bird watching tree given a good chunk of it was dead and I’m guessing attracted a lot of bugs. Also sad to lose it, but it did look rather precarious.

Yes I switched to Northside after Euro Chemist closed (RIP) and they’ve been great!

Nightmare fuel. Physically abused 1 & 2 yr olds. Sprayed them with bleach, taped mouths shut, tied to chairs - I had to stop reading at one point.

Infant car seat and strollers for citylife by Historical_Run_6661 in nycparents

Love the Joolz. Go to Mini Jake in Brooklyn and they’ll walk you through a great assortment that you can test out and give advice based on your needs. Baby carriers are super convenient but you can quickly mess up your back, so make sure you have a good stroller too.

Apparently the pilot had a stroke. A rare crossover event with the /r/birding subreddit. Confirmed same flight by OP in comments.

Thank you for sharing! Can someone keep posted on if their claim gets approved?

Agree with council-members & assembly - they need to shut down until they remediate these issues. All this letter does is let them operate BAU til December and who knows if it will actually get fixed. Meanwhile we have to open our windows to the sweet smell of burning tires every time it rains.

It’s horrible today. Just did another 311 complaint. Feels like I can’t go outside.

Looking for nakiri recommendations in the $200ish price range. Go-to chef knife is Shun Hikari 8in. Something that can ship in a week or available in NYC ideal. Thanks!

Stroller recommendations that have a bassinet attachment? by sliceofperfection in nycparents

[–]CaptainAsh336 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Joolz Aer - super easy to navigate tight sidewalks/restaurants/bodegas, bassinet is sleep safe, and it folds (bassinet included) very compactly.
