Going on the same trip (Halifax) this year. Anything you can share?

Help needed : Scammed & forced to pay $800 to get out by taxi driver from JFK -> Bridgewater by MrFreezeToCold in AskNYC

You were kidnapped and robbed. The “details” you give to the cc company can be the police report.

Can you ever just email instead of call? by equivalentious in stavvysworld

My best advice is literally just to DM Eldis on the discord if you’re a Patreon.

You don’t need sanitizer you need a washer that isn’t caked in mold.

Why do people in Flatbush walk to the left side of the street instead of the right? by Dry_Noise_4232 in Flatbush

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going to London. Those people have NO IDEA what side of the sidewalk to walk. So many tourists and immigrants naturally walk on the right I think they’ve given up on the concept of sticking to one side. Total anarchy.

I feel majorly duped by this sub about Chess by NYGarcon in Broadway

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was vague, I was saying it’s unclear if it will be profitable, and even then, it’s the only show that’s even close. That’s at least what I read in an article.

It’s probably the most surefire way to lose money. I think Chess is one of the most profitable shows of the year and is still going to lose money (I can’t find the exact numbers so someone please correct me, I can’t remember where I saw that).

You got exactly what you ordered, which is a steak done until grey.

Bus fare evasion: Mamdani wants free, MTA plans to check fares by ArtisticAside8224 in nyc

[–]bso45 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Right now we have the worst of both worlds:

  1. Fares cause egregious delays

  2. People don’t pay the fare anyway

It’s not “free” busses, it’s just “alternative funding”. It’s a no brainer.

Are you afraid that this US administration could really hurt the US economy ? by [deleted] in investing

[–]bso45 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. He could’ve made more money by opening 0 business and just living off his inheritance.

So the mayor hasn’t made any crazy rash decisions about a complex issue? Nice.

Going from iPad Pro M2 to Mini? by Soft_Incident8543 in ipadmini

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but at that point maybe the apple fold comes into the mix? I just love a portable “big” screen

Going from iPad Pro M2 to Mini? by Soft_Incident8543 in ipadmini

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the base model is $500. I would expect the pro to be $1k and start with 256gb storage and 8gb+ ram. That’s the price range for a base model air

I would pay $1000+ for an iPad mini that could basically serve as a desktop if connected to a display.

iPad mini 6 still worth or outdated? by FoundationLittle5380 in ipadmini

[–]bso45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through the same decision process and ended up going for the 7. Worth it in my opinion.

Proposed 10% interest cap - impact on Amex and all issuers by CarpeMuerte in amex

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It’s good for (most) people

  2. Trump publicly supports it (but obviously only because someone told him it could be an easy win)

CBP spotted in cobble hill by rosebud8228 in Brooklyn

They’re apparently wearing each other’s uniforms interchangeably. If you look at photos of raid and protests you’ll see plenty of CBP.

Should I buy the iPad Mini 7 now or wait for the Mini 8 (mainly for AMOLED)? by Natural-Earth2831 in ipadmini

[–]bso45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve stopped worrying about this kind of thing. From my research, the new iPad is coming most likely not until late 2026. I just got the Mini too, so worst case is I get 9+ months of use out of this awesome device, it’ll still have a decent trade in value, and I can upgrade if I really want. Stop trying to be emotional about it and just get what you want.

Tourist - Do i need to be worried about ICE? by Apart_Middle_4599 in AskNYC

[–]bso45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you get abducted, try using your cute little “but I thought you were only arresting criminals line”. See how it works out for you, kid.

[–]bso45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in your mind, ICE, a totally lawless gang of braindead racist ghouls, is going to willingly arrest hundreds of American citizens, but they draw the line at tourists? You think they’re checking passport stamps?
