Sorry for the Covid and also the tapering of meds; both a real mindfuck.
I like this rain though.

I drive through it on the way to my in-laws house in Nj. They both have covid and we’re hoping my wife and kid can be spared. Want to quarantine? Try gw bridge traffic in the pouring rain for a while!

I've got about 30 tomatoes in my kitchen, so I am presuming it's that combined with the warm, wet weather.

New York City now has 17 supertall skyscrapers (over 300m/roughly 1000 feet). Somebody must be doing something right I guess.

As your real estate agent I’d like to put you in 432 Park Avenue, which is unique in having empty floors interpolated between the regular floors so that wind can blow through the building, thus providing greater stability and less swaying.
Also it’s conveniently close to the Plaza Hotel, Central Park, and other attractions.
― Josefa, Saturday, 23 September 2023 00:41 (seven months ago) link
Good for an ambient wind + percussion project
― calstars, Saturday, 23 September 2023 00:47 (seven months ago) link
That’s good, bc due to availability issues I may have to put you in one of the empty floors

Are you one of those real estate agents that live out of town
― calstars, Saturday, 23 September 2023 01:09 (seven months ago) link
Check the fine print in case the building and/or ambient wind project wants to retain IP rights to any photos or videos you take inside.

“By 8 a.m. Thursday, around 10 agents could be seen standing on Ms. Suggs’s block, according to a video of the scene taken by a neighbor and viewed by The New York Times. One agent wore a light green tactical vest with the letters “F.B.I.” stamped on the back. Another official could be seen leaving the apartment with a cardboard box.Ms. Suggs was standing on the stoop with her father as the agents searched her home, according to the neighbor, Christopher Burwell.“Whatever it is, she must have been tricked into it, because she’s a great woman,” Mr. Burwell said. “I’ve known her all my life.””OOH SOMEONE PLAYING TRICKSIES AGAIN

“Ms. Suggs has also registered as a lobbyist. State records indicate that the East Broadway Mall, a Chinatown real estate concern, hired Ms. Suggs, via an intermediary, to lobby the mayor’s office and the New York City Council on its behalf in 2022.”Who knew the east broadway mall had this much stake in the game

Brian Robinson, a Republican who ran an unsuccessful campaign to represent New York City's 4th City Council district, raged against the entire city shortly after losing to incumbent Democrat Keith Powers by nearly 50 points.

oh, here's the context
His opponent, newcomer and former finance business owner Robinson, cast himself as a lapsed Democrat and attempted a last-minute mudslinging campaign casting Powers as a so-called "Hamas coddler" in a widely-condemned District 4 mailer.
wow didn't know there was a hamas city council member

Maybe compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn but nope, not really. I mean depends on what you're idea of affordable is.

I spied a studio in rockaway on the Long Island border for $2k. How much is the same in sunnyside?
― calstars, Tuesday, 26 December 2023 23:07 (four months ago) link
That seems nuts. I would think you can still find a studio in that range in Jackson Heights or Rego Park or Woodside or Elmhurst, have actual transit options, and not be at the end of the earth.
