Im in civil court...missed the Trump porn case by a single day. I'm a strong believer in serving Jury duty, but am set up as an independent contractor and won't be payed for this beyond the $40, so will need to opt out if possible. I can't afford to stay.

Fml. NYC. Just got the email for the landlord. Been in this spot 20+ years, through a fire and hurricane Sandy. Kids born and raised in this apt and immersed in their lives here. I can barely afford it as it is, and now won't be able to afford anything anywhere remotely near, for them or for...

Hi Friends. We are flying into Ft Lauderdale right before Christmas for 5 days- the wife just got crazy cheap tickets so down we go. Never been there and have no idea about the area- could use some recommendations about where to stay and what to do? We'd like to stay somewhere on the beach...

Heard from a friend who's 8th grader boy was victim of a catfish/blackmail scam. He had a public Instagram account and was friended by a cute girl who was friends with all of his friends and seemed to know about all of them. They developed an online relationship that escalated into sending each...

The wife insists on doing this when she cooks burgers (grill or pan)... not at the beginning while still raw, but after it's been cooked halfway and flipped, pushing out lots of juice. I learned (right or wrong) that the juice is part of what makes the burger better, more moist, tastier. ...

Thanks @Joe Bryant and team. ***** el floppo edit: :lmao: eta 2: with you WITH YOU and just because it feels good to laugh again.

10yo Floppinha was playing with friends at lunch recess last Friday- the "hat game"- where a kid tries to take another kid's hat and run off with it. Somebody got hers, but pulled her head slightly by accident, causing her to fall backwards onto the rubber play-surface and hit the back of her...

From BBC ------------------ New Zealand will ban the sale of tobacco to its next generation, in a bid to eventually phase out smoking. Anyone born after 2008 will not be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products in their lifetime, under a law expected to be enacted next year. "We want to...

First 2 Episodes are up! Trailer

seems to be some interest... I'm watching men's basketball...they are amazing.

Took my daughter (10) via public transportation (2 subways to a bus) to a tennis camp on Randall's Island in the East River of NYC. Nothing else there but sports and recreation fields. Afterwards, we get on the bus to head back to the subway in Manhattan. Again- nothing else on this place...

Discussion in the movie rental thread prompted this. I was surprised somebody would have walked out of Independence Day.  I walked out of: Batman and Robin. I don't mind the Batman genre... but this one just went into stupid too much. Arnie at his worst. Chris whatsisname embarrassment. I...

I woke up yesterday with a runny nose. Bad week of allergies for me, which usually leads into post nasal drip and an asthmatic reactive (dry) cough. I take a daily inhaler for the cough, and Allegra for the allergies. Took some Mucinex for the extra runniness of the cold. I feel fine. Just a...

Link Reminds me of the station from 2001. Would you fly Virgin Galactic to stay there? Only six years away... Those of us making grand postpandemic travel plans might want to consider the final frontier as a destination. That's because Orbital Assembly Corporation, a new construction company...

Saw this over Williamsburg, Brooklyn tonight.  Obviously a UFO. Or maybe something else. What is it?  Eta...does the link work now?

We're back to no in-person dining in NYC, and IIRC limit of 10 people gathering.  I'm not sure what we're doing... probably ordering a nice meal, playing some board games at home (kids are 9 and 13) and calling it a night before the ball drops. You?

13 yo floppinho is a percussionist. outside of Steve Reich and some avante garde stuff, I'd like to expose him to more rock tunes that feature mallet instruments like the marimba, vibes, xylophone, etc. Whatcha got? (I'll add links when I have some time) Violent Femmes- gone daddy gone...

Our new military robot dog overlords. Should be fine, right?
