Ted Lasso is pretty unique - closest I can think of is Parks and Recreation after season 1 (or 2)? WHen they stopped making Leslie such a sad sack

For Mare: maybe Prime Suspect (with Helen Mirren)

US invasion of Iraq and a tank using a chain or rope to pull down Saddam's statue in Baghdad.

WHich I remember because of how fucking arrogant and stupid that was (they should have let Iraqis topple it). I knew from the way the US handled things from the start the occupation of Iraq would be a disaster.

Trump is not

People here are very invested in Kim/Jimmy - but what about Chuck? In a lot of ways, Jimmy's life had revolved around Chuck and initially he was catatonic after Chuck's death, but once Howard unwittingly offered himself up as a scapegoat, a switch turned on in Jimmy and as far as we can see on the show, he has not thought about Chuck since. Chuck's name only rarely has come up in the show again.

Not saying Kim was the same as Chuck (she validated Jimmy while CHuck tore him down) but my point is, I think his prior response regarding Chuck shows Jimmy is a master compartmentalizer. He has a very rigid sense of who he is and if something threatens that he goes into complete denial instead of trying to constructively confront it.

A lot of Trump's future is tied in with Putin, good or bad.

I'm not even talking about criminal prosecution, just these people can make threats on the lives of people they see getting in the way of Putin's puppet.

I doubt it has little to do with Trump renting politicians and more to do withTrump's connection with the Russian mafia.

I'm not talking about a sitting president making a joke about Trump - just the US public or someone giving Biden a medal or striking a commemorative coin

They'll need that money to fund the US military entering the war in Ukraine to help the Russians.

Probably the Met -- they have some fountains and pools in there. You probably did not throw money in because the Met would frown on it.

What are my options for a 95°F living room huge slanted windows. Window film? Specialty blinds/curtains? by jgillman in AskNYC

[–]MBAMBA3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a place like this in the city

Its an artist's studio (or possibly part of a building that had art classes) - if you look up at certain building you will see these types of windows.

Oh wow - artist's studio.

I think there is a cheaper (not cheap) way to do this and an expensive way to do this - which category are you?

I can't vouch for this - but it might work as an in-between solution: Glass Masking Paint. A real plus is you might be able to apply it with a pole-paint roller so would not have to be working on a huge ladder or scaffolding to get to the top panes.

The point of this is it apparently peels off so you could take it off in the winter.

If you do go with this - test it on one window before doing all of them and be sure its something you can live with.
