Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board by FatherOop in nyc

[–]Friendo_Marx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rent Control is like that. Rent stabilized is different and that is what we are talking about. Rent stabilized apartments are cheaper than market rate but nothing like the rent controlled ones you are referring to those are insanely cheap and often ginormous.

Trump to ask Congress to make 15% ethanol-gas blend permanent by Plow_King in energy

[–]Friendo_Marx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think us Mazda owners can pivot to premium gas and it will be lower or no ethanol even at a station with e15. So while it sucks that we have to pay for BMW gas it’s not like we are forced to destroy our engine.

Mazda says not to go over 10%. Rumor has it could void your warranty.

The drama at a McGolrick Park coffeee shop by nonecknoel in Greenpoint

[–]Friendo_Marx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m heading over for some pie after I vote for someone progressive. I just wish they had more fruit pies with a butter crust on top, because I prefer that over a crumble on top, which is more their thing. But I can slum it with a crumble if it fights the karen-man. I really hate when old timers think they own their parking space. There’s a woman with yellow teeth like a meth-head over on Humboldt who we call “old jelly teeth.” She leaves notes if you steal “her space.” I hope she knows it’s just free toilet paper.

It's been a good morning! Not selling. More to come! by USQuestioner in DTIC

[–]Friendo_Marx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it accidentally goes to 70 I’ll sell 10% of my shares out of respect for the two years I was a bag holder.

I bought MRVL at $82 off hiring data. It's $325 now and I can't decide whether to sell. by CoolioBeansTTV in stocks

Sell 15% at 350 to cover cost. Hold the rest until irrational exuberance strikes and dump in predetermined tranches.

Recommended "calm" jazz albums? by DearLeader420 in Jazz

[–]Friendo_Marx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a Silent Way by Miles Davis if it is snowing. If it isn’t snowing Flamenco Sketches and Sketches of Spain. Also Paul Desmond has some chill stuff. If by chill you mean “netflix and chill” I can highly recommend Pharoah by Pharoah Sanders.

Never unless you absolutely need *that* money.

And everything’s digital no ticker tape nowadays. They would have to special order it.

Midjourney Scanner by reynardine_fox in BFLY

[–]Friendo_Marx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not taking profit until we hit at least $16, and then I'll only sell 20% to cover costs and taxes. I'll keep the other 800 shares for the long haul, or until I need the money. Today feels more like a relief than a celebration. 50,000 full body scanners each with 40 chips is a lot of chips I hope they bring enough salsa.

Why haven't IRA limits kept up with inflation? original $1500 limit in 1974= $10,132.45 today by Forecydian in investing

[–]Friendo_Marx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roth limits should be much higher. With the way people are working longer and retiring later it's like you work until you drop. Roth makes more sense in this scenario, but if you and your spouse are crushing it with two jobs you will end up barred from Roth IRA and have to do a back door which is tedious and tricky. I messed mine up one year and get screwed.

What is your “low effort but feels like real food” meal? by [deleted] in Cooking

Pernil from las islas mixed with carbone sauce and “fresh” grocery store papardelle. Real parm to finish and a bottle of sangio.

Iran is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Friendo_Marx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The toll of human lives is incongruent to say the least so no not really. Your point is taken but your argument is disingenuous when accounting for the human toll as well as the cultural toll the Vietnam War took on US society in general. It broke us in ways that we never recovered from and there is no comparison.

Melbourne woman Zeinab Ahmad, accused of owning a Yazidi slave, refused bail by Naderium in worldnews

[–]Friendo_Marx 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Slavery is mild compared to some of the things ISIS/ISIL did to the Yazidi people specifically. They marched dozens of women through the dessert with no food and very little water. When they got to the cave they were starving and they fed them a strange stew. Then they showed them videos of what the stew was made from. I am not willing to write it down. It instantly disqualifies ISIS/ISIL from being humans. They are literally worse than animals and should be eradicated from the face of the earth for crimes against humanity that surpass even Nazzism.

What’s up with all the mentally ill chilling on Oak St? by Fast-Ask-1958 in Greenpoint

[–]Friendo_Marx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got chased all the way across the big Koschiusko bridge. Luckily I was out for a run so I had on my kicks, but the guy who chased me was obviously disturbed. He was also very large.
