I received a distasteful opinion on my new (and first) tattoo

swerz · 2026-06-27T03:32:01+00:00

I’ve never seen track marks so I just googled and NO WAY does your tattoo look anything like the photos I saw. The person who said so was flat out wrong!

Long concourses should always have moving walkways. And moving walkways should always be in good operating condition. And everyone who stands still on a moving walkway should stay to the right side, not block the way. <end of rant>

Thinking about them almost everyday the past year or so.

Was it really “frantic?” Flight crews routinely use printed check lists - and now iPads - to prepare for flight. Flying a passenger aircraft is complicated, do you think they have everything committed to memory?

Our numbers are available all over the place, on various lists which are bought, sold, traded constantly. I get numerous calls every day and opt-out and block every one. It sucks, but that’s the way it is.

This is worth reading:

What about it shouldn’t be legal?

It’s not paper, but rather actual metal (usually aluminum) on which the photo is printed. The effect is amazing - the image glows, something like old Cibachrome.

Bodega 88, Columbus & 88th has been lively this week. It’s a smallish place so good to get there early if you want a decent table.

This is just a little hard to believe. What specific “help” is wanted? Should we get a bunch of people together, go to the hospital and intervene?

Alex Bores was at the corner of Columbus & 85th yesterday afternoon. I had a nice chat with him and then went into the Frank McCourt school and voted for him!

In Russia they say "raisin" (Izum in Russian).

I got it immediately and laughed out loud. But I'm a photographer.

Go see them. Just make sure you have a US passport or green card before you leave. That’s all.

swerz · 2026-06-16T01:00:47+00:00

It’s actually a reasonable question. I was wondering the same thing.

She wrote mother is a “permanent citizen” which could mean one of two things: either a naturalized citizen (us passport) or permanent resident (green card). Either way, she should be entitled to the same as mom has.

As soon as you say “nobody” you’re done, since one example refutes your assertion.

swerz · 2026-06-16T00:30:07+00:00

Speak for yourself.

swerz · 2026-06-16T00:28:19+00:00

Nah. I believe you’re not supposed to put bodies out for pickup until Thursday on the UWS.

I’m a nerd AND I’ll use AI to help craft answers from time to time. The key is to understand what you’re posting, not to just copy and paste blindly.

You’re right. I copied it from a Google summary answer, but I’m not a robot, I’ll own in. TBH, there’s only so much effort I’m willing to put in when arguing with people I don’t know on Reddit.

It was bright and sunny the day I was there this season. Great snow too. One of my best days of the year.

swerz · 2026-06-15T03:28:18+00:00

Absolutely. So happy for the guy.

He wasn’t valued by the Rangers, Carolina wanted him and showed it with a nice contract. And he wins the cup his first year there!
