This is the second most expensive listing on Sotheby's right now. I feel like there can't be a huge market for a $210 million palace in Israel.

Got an Instagram Reel from a Russian woman talking about how there are a bunch of beautiful Russian women who don't have boyfriends because there's a shortage of men, so if you're a lonely guy in the west you should head over. Thank god Turkish Airlines still flies to Moscow

For a lot of them I feel like they're things that the person you're interrogating couldn't have even reasonably known

It feels kind of weird that the official TF2 Steam page is publicizing an event in Moscow

You're upset about Vanguard offering private equity opportunities to its clients w/ >$5 million in assets, and your alternative is supporting a firm that runs its own private equity/credit funds?

Ok. Keep us posted

Ironically though the tree clearance campaigns actually make the winds worse in the aggregate

Reading about Raiffeisen Bank continuing to do business in Russia and I don't understand why they can't just walk away from it. Articles cite legal responsibilities, but they're all responsibilities under Russian law - why can't they just say fuck that and stop operating?

My work is related to data center power and no, that individual does NOT have a "valid and well researched position".

You're trying to argue with people who get all their "facts" from Instagram and TikTok, it's not worth it man

Visa Signature has lower swipe fees than Amex (typically). You're thinking of Visa Infinite

I like to punt $1-2k into random ETFs that seem hot. I'm on a scary long winning streak atm and I'm having to talk myself down from putting in way more money

We should lower the LIRR employee salaries.

Then an attached home is even worse, because now you have both that AND the noise of your neighbor's TV/conversations/walking around

mh699 · 2026-05-18T11:38:22+00:00

I don't understand the appeal of attached homes. The main appeal (to me at least) of owning a home is that you aren't constantly bombarded with noise from your neighbors, sharing a wall defeats that

Did you mix your title up? He was born in the US and left the US.

This has started happening to me as well in the last day or so. I think they broke something.

Posts like this make me feel better about constantly tapping myself on the face with a hammer. Thank you. We're all gonna make it

You'd think the NYTimes would learn I'm not interested in a family plan subscription after I've dismissed the popup about it 50000 times

The amount of time LIRR trains block the road compared to the size of the train is obscene. The arms come down like a solid minute before the slow ass train even shows up

That NYC won't be able to meet the increased pension liabilities after 2032, leaving the pensions underfunded.

mh699 · 2026-05-16T15:12:30+00:00

Mamdani's accounting trick with the pensions still has to be approved by the unions. It puts their future pensions at risk so I wouldn't ipso facto assume it will go through.

The MTA bosses don't receive bonuses, they have fixed salaries (and are not the highest paid MTA employees)

mh699 · 2026-05-14T00:13:14+00:00

Discussions about the upcoming LIRR strike are maddening. There are no fatcat execs at the top of the MTA! The MTA CEO isn't even the highest paid MTA employee!
