Reply to comment by KaiDaiz in Memorial Sloan Kettering Files Plans For 594ft 31-Story Skyscraper At 1233 York Avenue On Manhattan’s Upper East Side by maybeitwasmee

I live on 71st and my only issue with the blood bank (from what I know) is they are demolishing a park and a high school to build it.

I’m all for buildings like this, the blood bank even homeless shelters. Just put it in the lots where they are putting up multi-million dollar condos like at 1562 2nd ave instead.

Reply to comment by raltyinferno in TIL: honeycombs start out circular, and the surface tension of the beeswax pulls them into hexagons as it solidifies, because it is the most energetically favorable conformation. by craigdahlke

Look, i ate the hell out of em as a kid, and I wouldn't turn a bowl down today. They arent bad, and were tollerable for my mom on the sugar scale.

That said, if i want a sugar-bomb cereal ive got a few items further up the list im gonna go for first.

Reply to When is it justifiable to take a paycut? by [deleted]

I took an almost 50% paycut to get out of restaurant management and into the corporate world. Now I make 3x what I did in restaurants for half the hours.

However, I was at a point in my life where I could afford that. I realistically couldn't just drop my pay in half today and be fine.

The legal friends say that the judge would declare a mistrial.

Anyways, the movie had one the best ensemble of character actors in one movie. I rewatch this one often...

Reply to I (24F) am not sure how to split finances with my (29M) partner that’s fair / reasonable by GunterFanClub

Do you have enough savings to cover you the rest of the time in school or will you have to get loans? What are your expenses now? I would say a good starting point is that moving in shouldn't cost you more than you're paying now (until you graduate and get a full time job) - so that means bf either needs to accept your budget and move into a place you can afford OR he needs to pick up anything above and beyond your budget. Unless you guys can agree on a place that would be cheaper for you - which would be great.

So say you currently are sharing an apartment and you pay $500 for rent and $100 that covers the utilities and you spend around $250 on groceries. If your bf is fine with finding a place that's $1000 total that similarly sized so utilities will be around the same and he spends similar on groceries - great! It's reasonable to split it 50/50 if it means your expenses don't go up.

Now if your bf won't agree to any place that's less than $2000 and is twice as big so utilities will be more and he insists on lobster and wagyu once a week - then he needs to pick up the extra above your budget. So you still pay $500 and he'll be paying $1500 for the apartment.

If you're currently living alone and you're looking only at one bedroom then it'd be reasonable to not want to pay as much as you are now to share the space with another human. Harder to come up with an easy number to select from that though. I'd say between 50-75% of what you are paying now as your max would be fair - depending on if that 75% gives you a better/bigger place or not.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01

>This discussion is about Disney cheating subsistence farmers out of their homesteads. Try to keep up.

We mentioned rich white dudes who form corporations - your effort to focus a discussion on something irrelevant to the topic appears willful, so it's simple to read the thread & see how full of shit you are. U.S.A., you are.
