    RIP Toni Price

    What a shame. She was great, should've been a big star.

    When we found a long-term furnished rental we used Foxtons. They have short-term, as well. I'm guessing you already know this but "Let" or "Lettings" are the words you'll want to use.
  3. go fuck yourself posting troll bullshit here
  4. Bolden showing out. Good lord
  5. Would've mattered because Golden caught it but it appears all PI's are not going to be called equally today.
  6. Kirby's? Could be his sister Kendall or Karl, his brother.
  7. The triple option. Thank you NIL.
  8. NIL opportunity.
  9. FUCK YES. Hook 'em!
  10. Have you searched the directory of starter packs by keyword? I posted some sports starter packs in the thread about twitter PSA. What type of business? Here's business law and related scholars https://bsky.app/starter-pack/katejackson.bsky.social/3larpckyvfn2v Here's business and economic news https://bsky.app/starter-pack/katejackson.bsky.social/3larpckyvfn2v Here's some business reporters and commentators https://bsky.app/starter-pack/thebegonis.bsky.social/3lathikruew23 investing https://bsky.app/starter-pack/cullenroche.bsky.social/3lbgrvn57r424 Reuters business reporters https://bsky.app/starter-pack/reuters.com/3lburgxdorn2i The Economist's data team https://bsky.app/starter-pack/reuters.com/3lburgxdorn2i The Economist's journalists https://bsky.app/starter-pack/economist.com/3lba54f2oba26 Financial TImes journalists https://bsky.app/starter-pack/financialtimes.com/3lcd5d7lzus2n
  11. But it's not the corches fault!
  12. Edmunds did a real world test of EV range. Here's the top 20 performers. One Tesla model in the top 20. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-range-and-consumption-epa-vs-edmunds.html
  13. Not to mention having to figure out whose xitter account they're referencing can be a pain in the ass.
  14. This is perhaps the single most annoying thing about reddit. Everyone has an opinion and you're not going to block them just for a shitty opinion in one thread. I mostly browse the local sub for local news but I've noticed a lot of threads in the bigger subs seem like questions to generate training for AI, or users with fake or reposting old posts trying to get rep. Nothing like that on bluesky. It's rather peaceful and straightforward imo. The block button on bluesky, along with using the blocklists, is a beautiful thing.
  15. Conclusion: the number to follow is between 100 and 1000 depending on what you're looking for and who you're following.
  16. doesn't seem like that at all but you do you
  17. There is no algorithm. It's just who you follow. That's why you may want to follow more people than you did on twitter. There's also a lot fewer post dunks on bluesky than there were on twitter. If you look in the replies, the posts at the top are based on your own settings, too.
  18. Thank you. I'm enjoying your posts on blue sky.
  19. Awesome. Enjoyed S1 didn't know about S2. A good new detective procedural (British, of course) is Inspector Ellis. The lead, Sharon D. Clarke, has an amazing presence and her take-no-bs character is amazing.
  20. This is a nice surprise. Hook 'em!
  21. I'm posting in case it helps one of you or your loved ones. I have a benign tumor (schwannoma) in the sinus cavernous portion of my brain and have had to get an annual MRI. No symptoms, no changes for 6 or 7 years. It was discovered accidentally. But at the end of last year they picked up some very slow growth and said it was close to my left optic nerve. The recommendation was radiation therapy. I said, sure, what the fuck. I thought it was going to be like a fucking tanning bed, that's how ignorant I was. Holy fuck, did radiation on my brain kick the crap out of me. I wasn't ready for it. There were many days I was so dizzy, off-balance and out of breath that I couldn't walk to the street corner. The off-balance feeling has continued for months - in my head it feels like I'm on a moving train going over bump after bump, or in a boat. It's been miserable. And it's now been more than 6 months since my last dose of radiation. Every doctor I spoke with (oncologists, neurologist, ENT) basically shrugged their shoulders. Dumb Harvard Med-educated cunts. All of 'em. Then on the same day in September 2 different sources, neither of whom are MDs, mentioned Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I was surprised to learn that Fort Collins has the oldest and one of the few hyperbaric facilities in CO and it's at the hospital about 5 minute drive from my house. I had to ask the goddamn oncologist to refer me in order to get approval from insurance and that went smoothly. Wasn't his idea but he did it. I've had maybe a dozen sessions so far. Approved by insurance. The purpose is to help tissue recover and create new blood vessels. I was speaking with one of the techs today and a lot of men utilize it while trying to recover from the after-effects of radiation to their prostate. (I asked them why it seemed like most of their patients are men. They said it goes in waves, but apparently right now they're dealing with a few prostate issues.) I already feel improvement from my symptoms. They re-tested me on a few physical tests this morning and documented improvement in my speech and balance. I go every morning M to F and lay in a pressurized glass tube for 3 hours. They have a dvd library and I've lately been rewatching the Sopranos every goddamn morning.
  22. I was just in Busan in October. When I saw Texas Street, it was a bit wtf Named in honor of the Texans who'd go to the red light district during the Korean War. I was there in the morning so I don't know if it's more than just bars, restaurants and souvenir shops any longer.
