re: Sorry, officer, I had a biological need for a Patek Philippe Nautilus
Posted by TheChosenOne on 8/18/26 at 8:55 am to stout
There is an abundance of resources in NYC (and most large cities) for the homeless and poor to get food and necessities. These people aren't stealing these items because they need them, they're stealing because they barter them for other things like drugs and alcohol.
re: Why are there flock cameras all over NYC, but not the UWS?
Posted by TheChosenOne on 8/12/26 at 10:57 am to GreatLakesTiger24
This map is wrong. I live on the UWS and there are NYPD cameras on Broadway, Amsterdam, and Columbus. They were approved by the city council and installed 2-3 years ago.
re: Thanksgiving NYC

We live in NYC and go to a steakhouse every year. Most of them offer a prix fixe thanksgiving dinner and if you don’t want that you can just order a steak.
re: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
Posted by TheChosenOne on 8/9/26 at 11:09 am to Sailin Tiger
He has a companion book for kids called The Amazing Generation that helps explain on their level the harms of social media and continual use of tech. My two oldest kids (11 and 9) have read it and seemed to appreciate the arguments and understand why they won’t get social media or smart devices until their late teens. I think their age is also the right audience as early-mid teens will probably think the analogies and stories are dumb.
I expect it to get really difficult as more and more of their friends get smart watches, phones, and social media, but we plan to hold firm on limiting devices and social media.

re: MLB veteran crew chief umpires average over 450k salary. Why not require they not be obese

Dude is fat, but he was in position and moving out of the way of the ball so the SS could get it. No way he knew the 2B was coming. shite happens.
re: We don’t hate the media enough. NBC called this a “firework.” Looks like arson to me…

Why was she videoing this segment of time on an empty sidewalk?
There were fireworks shot off 15-20 seconds before that video started. He shot them off on the NW corner of the building, then ran around to the north side to start the fire. You don’t normally hear fireworks in NYC at 8:30am, so she was probably at the window trying to figure out what was going on and started recording.
re: Athens?
Posted by TheChosenOne on 7/16/26 at 10:06 pm to geauxpurple
I agree with everything geauxpurple said. The Acropolis and its museum are great. Plaka is beautiful and worth wandering through. We stayed in Monastiraki and enjoyed it—lively with a ton of great food. I wouldn’t recommend much outside of that in Athens.
A day trip to Delphi is great. Drive yourself if you can and go later in the afternoon. The tours mostly leave the site around 2pm, so you will have it almost all to yourself. Stop in Arachova on the way for lunch.
I’ve never done it, but I know other people that enjoyed the day trip to Mycenae.
Thanksgiving may be too cold for the beach, Lake Vouliagmeni, or coastal activities, but you can look at taking a ferry to an island like Hydra.

re: 2 NYC churches firebombed last night. Police are not naming the suspect

It’s Yogesh Sayrange. The feds took over and he was arraigned in federal court today.
He’s an illegal, but also seems to hate Muslims.

No one knows what the hell they're doing as parents. It will be hard, you can't remove stress, and it won't be perfect. Just do your best and cherish as much of it as you can.

You may want to shop somewhere that doesn't get robbed so frequently that they lock away basic household items.

Let this marinate for a bit. According to Google AI since 1990 approximately 125 million people have been granted US citizenship simply because their legal/illegal immigrant parents entered the US and gave birth to a child
That's incredible considering we've only had about 137 million births in the US since 1990....

A lot of them live in Nadler's old district that went to an Isreal supporting candidate. Goldman has a lot in his district, but that district has turned heavily left recently and they were already done with him.
re: 2025-26 New York Knicks: FIRST EVER NBA DOUBLE CHAMPIONS!!!
Posted by TheChosenOne on 6/13/26 at 11:56 pm to Saint Alfonzo
I live in the Upper West Side and Amsterdam was lined with people celebrating in the streets. Cop cars were even cruising by with their lights on cheering and high-fiving everyone. I’m not a Knicks fan but it was awesome to be a part of the celebration.

re: Suggestions for Philadelphia City Center/Downtown
Posted by TheChosenOne on 6/13/26 at 7:36 am to SmackDaniels
I would do the Museum of the American Revolution. It's two blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and you can do all three in one day. You can also check out things like Carpenters' Hall (where they held the first Continental Congress) on the stroll over.
re: Spurs were so confused defensively on the game winner - Got to call TO
Posted by TheChosenOne on 6/11/26 at 12:27 pm to yaherrdme
Mitch looked frazzled almost every time they showed him down the stretch, but I think almost every coach in the NBA would be fine forcing a 31 footer with Wemby in his face there. They just got a perfect bounce, the Spurs were ball watching a bit, and OG made an incredibly play.

Josh Hart should send Fox a nice gift basket as a thank you. He would have been vilified today if the Knicks lost at the end.
