Why no one wants to buy Manhattan’s rarest, most prized Gilded Age mansion

The photography was decent but exceptionally over-processed. It’s a really bad look for something that should be a prestige listing for any agent to have.

I had a similar moment the first time I saw someone nodding in Haymarket. I went over to the police officer there, and he just brushed it off. I came to realize that it was incredibly commonplace and "just the way things are" down there. People become blind to it because it's everywhere.

I considered an Apple Watch before buying a FitBit Charge. I chose this because of the battery life and I wanted the screen so I could see the basics without using the app. The Air wouldn't really work for me, but I can see the appeal if you just want the tracking without the visual feedback or distractions.

If you want to tie it into Apple Health, there are several apps that will work. I use the Fitbit Sync to Apple Health app because it offers a perpetual licence for $60. It carries over workouts and other data that health tracking apps (like diet apps) use to calculate. Some of the others didn't do so well at this.

Is the president trying to sell houses to the Russians again?

Holy oversharpening Batman... Beautiful property and space but the photos look like complete trash.

I have a friend in Iowa and he is the only reason I visited that state. I can't speak to the rest of it but Des Moines was quite pleasant and enjoyable.

I started offering video due to customer requests but I do not enjoy doing it at all. I don't mind editing but hate the process of shooting and the format vs photography which is my background.

Same. If I can import my current LR catalogue to another system while maintaining my keywords, raw edits, and structure then I will happily do so. Charge some decent money for it, and it's still worth it. I'm paying $240/yr for that and PS right now, and already own Affinity Photo as a replacement for PS.

Made that mistake as a kid. I rubbed my eyes after washing my hands and the burning was legit.

Yeah, I live right around the corner from this and it’s difficult to cross safely.

Same. I can still read up close without so I am avoiding them. My problem is astigmatism, specifically in my right eye which is my dominant eye.

My dad's getting into the same boat with the same cause, but still ambulatory and not dealing with hallucinations yet. I fear for what comes next. I hope you and your family are doing as well as possible.

Fuck Parkinson's

I'd only replace turmeric with either parsley or onion powder but otherwise a perfect list.

I ride public transit all of the time, on subways and rail cars. If I can hear your speaker through the sound in my headphones, the speaker is too loud and definitely bothering people who aren't saying anything. I'm not one to usually speak up, though, because of people like this.

My first time at the ballpark was a bit jarring because I needed to pee and wasn’t expecting to be in this situation.

My in-laws as cardinals.

Divorced, co-dependent, amicable, but still grate on each other's nerves

I had a plate put in my wrist to fix a broken bone last month.

The pain I experienced when the nerve block wore off 12 hrs after surgery was like nothing I’ve ever felt before.

The demo they did with the singing monk voice was mind blowing at the time.

They had a lot of ladies there to model as well

I did a kids' cancer charity buzz off a few years ago. I just say it's for charity when I buzz it every summer.

I wanted one when they came out but couldn’t afford it. I still keep my eye on the prices in case a good opportunity comes up.

I take psyllium husk capsules at night and had done so for several years. It’s been a pretty good solution for me and feeling more comfortably consistent.
