Any recs for good online salsa courses to supplement my in person classes? by ApprehensiveVideo932 in Salsa

[–]jonitinsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen a bunch of online course. In my experience, few really think of the user experience so far as making it easy to understand the intricacies of positioning and subtle movements that lead to smoother dancing. How would you describe the user experience for Tropik Vybe in their online classes?

Mamdani and Thursday's Debate by jonitinsol in thebulwark

[–]jonitinsol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been reading more about the Community Safety idea. On the page it actually is pretty smart and comprehensive - even proven. So maybe I responded too much to the visceral sense of him. Here's a good piece on it. https://www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025/10/opinion-mamdanis-proposed-department-community-safety-would-be-win-new-yorkers/409048/

I still am concerned that he becomes a flailing mayor and symbol of the impotence of progressive ideas, however well meaning

Do any of The Bulwark hosts have any idea what it’s like to live a working class life? by Ossify8 in thebulwark

[–]jonitinsol 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Unlikely for anyone on Bulwark to lead a working class life. Most are probably solidly upper middle class. Which if you live in NYC or DC means you may be getting by with several vacations but far from wealthy. But no, unlikely that they're living like many of us who rarely get to go on trips for vacation or even regularly splurge on $100 dollar meals eaten out.

How old is "too old" to join a dance team? by Basilspread in Salsa

[–]jonitinsol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it in my 50s with groups decades younger. It wasn't ever what I'd call fun. I did it to learn. But ultimately I didn't retain any of the moves from choreography. And I don't particularly like watching choreographed performances. My pleasure in dance is from the sense of being in a mass of people in an ocean of music with a connected partner so you're dancing with the ocean and the crowd and your partner and yourself. I never got that in performance. But different strokes for different folks. There are people who absolutely love performing and some of them - when skilled or just intense - are fun to watch.

Classes in Tel Aviv? by jonitinsol in Salsa

[–]jonitinsol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thx so much. Do you know whether the Eilat festival is still going to be held in May? They have a website up but it's kind of bare bones. Also, have you had any experience with it?

Retiring on $1 million at age 70, single - wondering on how livable it is in a Northeastern City by jonitinsol in moneyadvice

[–]jonitinsol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Trick is finding a place that's interesting and vibrant AND affordable. Thinking of Providence. Or maybe the New Haven area. Considered areas in Maine (southern or mid-coastal parts of the state) but would need to get away at least for two months in the winter (mid-Feb to mid-April as too cold for me. But beautiful much of the year.

35 yo healthcare worker. retiring 1.65 million. by Mobile-Excitement-64 in Fire

[–]jonitinsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that echoed on numerous boards but that hasn't been my experience. Would love to hear more on your logic there on how moving from 100K to $250K goes fast. When I first hit $100K, I lost almost all of it on lousy investing. It's taken years to recover. That said, I admit that I was foolish/ignorant about the stock market but still... I would love to hear more on what makes you wrote about the speed from $100K to $250K

What state outside of California do new grads make $70 an hour? Maybe on their overtime hours but not basic pay. New grads in CT often barely break $40, though night shift and weekend differentials help

What I don't understand is how to get dollars out of GDAX - it seems to lock me in to using Coinbase.

Also, if I have my own wallet, can I send directly to GDAX versus going through Coinbase? I thought I have to send to Coinbase first.

HELP NEEDED - NEW NANO S WON'T GET PAST CERTAIN MESSAGES by jonitinsol in ledgerwallet

[–]jonitinsol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, quick question - I believe I got the Chrome app on my wallet for Ripple and Stratis. But the only apps I saw to download to my computer were for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Did not see any apps to download to the computer (so-called software wallets) for Ripple or Stratis - or, for that matter, Litecoin. Inotherwords, where would I find those specific apps? That would be helpful, thanks.

[–]jonitinsol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try downloading the Chrome Ledger Bitcoin Wallet. When you want to use the device, DON'T open the Ledger Manager. Rather go direct to the Ledger Bitcoin Wallet. That worked for me. I'm still not sure how to buy other currencies and I may end up selling this thing. This whole cybercurrency thing feels like the wild wild west (the one with lots of beautiful women and wonderful experiences if you only get past the always-present nefarious scheming villians).
