DeBlahsio on CNBC now. No focus on growth, just redistribution, more inclusiveness, blah, blah, blah.
LOL they are telling him that 120 hedge funds have left NYC due to the tax structure. Of course he dances around this question. "I feel very confident about the future for NYC."
Talked to one of my colleagues about Windows 10. Apparently MS is retreating a bit from the Windows 8 style, and bringing the default desktop manager back to the "normal" Windows 7 look, with the "screenful of apps" look available through the "Start" menu.
Software developers will not have to re-write everything to handle touchscreen drivers.
Good. Will make transition from Win7 much smoother.
No word on hardware requirements. Hopefully will run efficiently on existing hardware, rather than needing massive RAM and CPU upgrades.
Yesterday I mentioned Jeremy Siegal as someone who is on CNBC often and has been right about the stock market for quite a long time. Coming up this morning is Jeff Gundlach from Doubleline Capital whom I also respect quite a bit and has also been right for quite some time.
so the insurance company is going to give us about $4000 for the piano....but sounds like if we went out and bought new one they would pay the $25k. Even though this one is older and was bought used and probably without damage would be valued at $8k
Pete, do you think it would be worth it to buy a very expensive piano to resell it? Maybe arrange in advance so it only has to be moved once? Someone could get a really good deal and you'd still come out ahead.
BTW, if you start getting annoying "Hey, would you like to reserve a copy of Windows 10?" messages, here's a link with info on what that means, and how to get rid of them if you want to:
Greeks beginning to realize that their internal chaos is going to threaten the Summer tourist season and hence, their incomes that they all hide from the government.
Well, as What has told you, what happens in Greece affects global financial markets. But, conversely, what happens with Berlin apartment rates, does not.
well, not employed was fun. There was that two week trip to Mexico to see Fulgencio. But then, as a Republican, I went back to work but retired is better. Especially in a low tax state.
You should be thanking the other hard working souls here for paying into SS for you. Not a day goes by that I don't thank them for when I will be taking mine.
Looks like deblasio has gotten the murder rate up 20% in the past year alone. Have Brooklyn property prices started falling yet, or will there be a delayed reaction?
Lech, the post has been reporting that for some time but of course the liberals haven't seen it or couldn't believe it until it was reported in the NY Times
Apt for sale in my building. $1,495,000 1691 sq ft, newly renovated. Owner wants quick sale - this is a tremendous discount to comps in the bldg. Will certainly sell above ask.
I would still like it to be public. I suppose it's because if you had been private all along, I never would have been able to join. Perhaps it's wishful thinking that some other person might do the same, but hope springs eternal. And I never would have joined without first lurking and knowing what I was getting in to. I don't mind that people lurk.
In the sense that, as a complete stranger, I wouldn't have even known that the OT existed if it had been private. I would have needed an invite from a member.
ok well bye again then. i am not comfortable participating in this as it currently exists and i have better things to do that "hope" that more losers show up.
peace out (i'll be over there <<<<<< if you need me)
I think the OT should be made private. I agree with Randi and DH. If we are not going to pursue getting new members, then we should accept that we are at our maximum membership level and should do what we can to hold onto those we have. I can think of no reason to keep it public anymore and can certainly think of benefits to keeping things private.
I also think that The What should not be allowed to ever return. I really don't want to be a member of a club that would allow him. This "open, free, equality" BS should not apply to maniacs. Personally I am completely over debating his "rights" to post.
Don't care one way or the other but I am not posting on two different threads here. Frankly all this neurosis and paranoia exhibited by a few members is rather childish and ridiculous.
Why bother??? Why should I go back and forth between here and there just because of one poster to have more or less the same conversations here and there???
Rather ridiculous
brownstoner had different threads that were specifically different subects…the HOTD, the ROTD, etc
Seriously? There are already multiple groups that you can decide whether you post to or not. Just because Randi set up a group doesn't make it the OT. It's just a group. This is the OT.
I think that's his point. Random OT-like posts on multiple threads will be annoying. Focused threads, not annoying.
MEMBERS ONLY OT group name should be changed to Randi's Room. We can go over and play with Randi is his room if we want but a parallel OT universe is going to be annoying.
I agree, but feel no need to blogicide as we discuss the merits of how to set up the filing cabinet.
Yes, because of her "issues." But she posts them on the Home page where they are easy to see. Don't really feel like looking through some alternate OT for them and the discussion about them in between all the derps and other shit on an alternate OT.
If the site is made private, that's fine. Any new person who wants to join will figure out a way to get in touch with us (isn't there some way for them to email Scott?). If they can't then they are just too stupid to have here.
lemme go ahead and break this down for you since you don't seem to get it.
my refusal to post in here is not due to privacy or any other issues. i do not post in here in large part because of you, dave. i find you to be a bigoted, bitter, hate-filled person with nothing good to say. if that's not who you are, then you deserve an oscar for your performance. i do not wish to engage in any conversations with or about you. others here are apparently ok with your brand of 'posting' so i have exercised my right to not participate in it. anyplace on this board where you are absent is where i'll be. feel free to go ahead and deflect/defend/deny, etc and take the last word. deuces.
WOW..always the self proclaimed progressive liberals with the name calling.
"i do not wish to engage in any conversations with or about you."
You just did.
And, your statement "lemme go ahead and break this down for you since you don't seem to get it." is just the sort of pompous crap that you are always spewing here while, at the same time, beleiving that you are above it all.
I'd also like for her to provide some examples of me as a racist and bigot if she is going to make those accusations. But, typical of her, she can make them without backing them up.
As for hate-filled, not sure about that as I don't even hate the What. But, she says what makes her feel good.
I think you need to stop using the words "beaner" and "rice". Really just stop that. I understand that they are extremely offensive. I say "understand" because you are the first and only person I have ever heard use them. Have I been mislead? Are they acceptable terms in any circles?
Come on, rf. You mean to tell me that in your circle of atheists you don't all poke fun and call each other names based on what religions you were born into???
-A bigoted, bitter, hate-filled person with nothing good to say.
"I think that Beaner is offensive used by outsiders. Like the N word. Just because they chose to reclaim it doesn't make it right for whites to use it. "
Thank you for your PC ruling. By the way, I think calling whole communities "white trash" is offensive. How about you?
I spoke to guy I know at gym this morning who catered shiva for Anne Meara. So I said -- what kind of friends are these that they have that can't be bothered to bring a nice dish themselves? He said has worked for them for years and were nicest down-to-earth people . but Anne had a mouth like a sailor
I do wonder what The What's comment would be on Extell getting the last site at Citipoint or whatever it is called downtown and now another 'tallest building' in brooklyn being proposed. It still amazes me that there seems to be no limit to these high priced highrise apts. I know in total the # of new units created in NYC each year isn't so astronomical but how many people can afford the things going up?
LOL they are telling him that 120 hedge funds have left NYC due to the tax structure. Of course he dances around this question. "I feel very confident about the future for NYC."
Dibs at 7:57 is proof.
I blame George Bush.

Capisci?????
are you going to continue trolling someone who doesn't post here anymore?
go do something - pronto
Best not waste it here
Everyone in NYC has or makes a ton of $$$$.
Kidding aside, prices are still going up. Soon $2M houses in Bed study, crown heights, bushwick etc won't be that surprising or rare.
Damn those lesbians up there in Northampton must be jealous
I AM BACK, SORTA. THERE IS A PRIVATE GROUP THREAD THAT ONLY LOGGED IN MEMBERS CAN SEE AND POST TO. HOPE TO SEE YOU OVER THERE.
$1,495,000 1691 sq ft, newly renovated.
Owner wants quick sale - this is a tremendous discount to comps in the bldg. Will certainly sell above ask.
IF NOT, EXPLAIN TO ME WHY ARE WE KEEPING THIS PUBLIC.
But please, could you cut the all cap crap out?
UNTRUE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JOIN. DAFUQ YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'LL BE OVER THERE <<<<<<<<<< IF YOU NEED ME.
no one has joined for 3 years! not a person. nobody. nada. zip. zilch. what is going to cause someone new to show up suddenly?
http://pepeswharf.com/gallery/home-page-pix/img_6737/
creepy when people lurk around your life isn't it?????
"Perhaps it's wishful thinking that some other person might do the same, but hope springs eternal."
Besides, I joined less than 3 years ago. Rezmo came after me. As did Mrs. Mingott.
peace out (i'll be over there <<<<<< if you need me)

That's how things were/are on Brownstoner, and they don't have the list on the side to let you know when there are new comments.
Rather ridiculous
