  1. There is a reason that hotels in the latter half of January and most of February are cheap as hell in Manhattan. Further, there is a reason that Restaurant Weeks and Broadway Weeks happen during these times as well. Manhattan was teeming with people over the holiday season, which is still pretty busy through the 1st or even 2nd week in January. After that, things quiet down. Things will pick back up around St. Patrick's Day.
  2. Next week will be a ghost town with single digit temps. FYI, the latter half of Jan and most of February is dead in NYC. This is pretty typical.
  3. You should zoom in…
  4. Stop engaging with Balcones. He is a misogynist and a troll. Fuck him.
  5. But Texas and Florida are not being told they have to meet conditions to get money. That is the difference.
  6. As of now, the only race I am going to this year is Imola.
  7. Stop quoting Balcones. Neg this shitstain into oblivion. Fuck him.
  8. I find it pretty fucking disgusting that the GQP is talking about putting conditions on the aid to California (and yes, I remember Ted fucking Cruz voting against aid to New York and New Jersey in 2012 as well) while they do not put conditions on aid to Florida or Louisiana. Fuck them. I think the states that are net payors should tell Washington to fucking pound sand. We will keep our own fucking money to support our people and not people in Florida.
  9. For 6 days, I am based in Ferrara, and then for 4 days in Bologna (we are going to the F1 race). I know one of the days we are in Bologna (probably the Friday), we will spend the day in Maranello. Gotta go see Ferrari.
  10. Ok. Plans are starting to come together. I really need some help on the Emilia Romagna pieces.
  11. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/13/us/trump-news?searchResultPosition=2#abbott-texas-flags-trump-inauguration So glad I am no longer a Texan. Officially got rid of my Texas DL last week.
  12. They don't care. In fact super real Christians like Frank Drebin were saying that this, and all the other cases, were political witch hunts. However, Donald Trump is a felon and a complete piece of shit. On brand for American Christianity.
  13. There is. It’s 500 or 1000 SGD. I don’t get the picture with that on it.
  14. https://newrepublic.com/post/190103/maga-republican-plan-los-angeles-fire-relief Fuck the GQP. Maybe California and New York should just keep their federal tax dollars since we know Trump and the GQP hate us. The next 4 years are going to be a shitshow.
  15. Singapore also limits the overall number of private cars. Also, I love the fines for Durian on the metro there.
  16. Can they take Staten Island with them?
  17. New England really only sucks in the winter and early Spring. Generally, April to mid November is really quite nice for the most part. In NYC, there are 4 bad months: January and February and then July and August. Most of the rest of the year, the weather is actually quite nice. I will say it stayed warmer a lot longer this year than in years past.
  18. How has no one nominated @NowThis for expertise in pegging?
  19. We have an office in Portsmouth, NH. When I have to visit there, I usually rent a car from the Avis on 64th between 2nd and 1st and take Harvey with me. I can walk there, and I always fill up the car at a Shell station in Harlem and also get it detailed (Harvey sheds something fierce). I usually head up there once in the summer (though this summer is going to be tough) and in the fall (get to leaf peep for free). I think this year, Harvey and I might head up to Salem or near there for Halloween. Also, Concord and Lexington are doing celebrations for the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April (Easter Weekend to be specific), so might be fun to go up there then.
  20. I hate driving in the city. I try and avoid it, but sometimes, renting a car and escaping is a good idea.
  21. My aunt lives on Ave B, up the hill from the beach in Redondo. She said they’ve got smoke and ash there.
  22. Why do you do that to yourself? The reality is that hate should have no quarter. They hate that she is a woman, and they hate that she is a lesbian. The fact that Elon and his ilk cannot fathom that she was the best person for the job is insidious misogyny that should have no place in society at all.
