yup i have one its amazing! I did the same thing with my chair, bought a herman miller aeron. They were both expensive but make working so much more comfortable and should last a long time.
I highly doubt this was leaked to developers, I think this was developers realizing that long island city was within close proximity to Manhattan and people want luxury rentals without the price of paying for one in Manhattan.
yes, but that doesn't mean that someone could buy a house right now and provide the same deal as the existing owner. The existing owner could have bought while interest rates were higher and prices were lower and refinanced down to a much lower monthly payment.
You should think about which fiat your likening it too. Its more liquid that certain fiat (Venezuela) and can definitely be used to buy things.
It's not being used to buy things because its a deflationary currency which along with an adoption curve means it's more advantageous to sit on it.
The adoption is definitely increasing the value of it, its a more liquid gold to me, but like any other currency or asset the value is derived from the trust and value that people put in it.
holy crap I didn't realize these were worth that much, I have boxes of these in my closet right now with cards from Unlimited/Legacy to Tempest(maybe some newer but i forget what the releases were called).
I did the same as you and migrated away. I was looking at the XPS and ended up going with the Razer Blade Stealth. What's actually surprised me most is how much I enjoy having a touch screen. I could see checking out the new surface pro 2 at some point now.
The other huge thing that surprised me was how easy development is becoming with the new Windows Linux Subsystem. The only thing i haven't gotten to play nicely with it is Postgres, but I just set it up in windows and have the wls connect to it and I'm on my way.
Porto Rico Coffee is an awesome spot. I actually go there every week or two to get fresh coffee. Awesome place and its amazing that you can get great coffee beans for the same amount, or less than you could get some of the stuff that's in grocery stores.
I did the same thing on a late 90's 3 series throughout college. A pair of car jacks or rhino ramps makes the job way easier. Also if you take your oil to pep boys they'll dispose of it for free. Either way I'd still do it if I didn't live in a city. There's something nice about maintaining your things, it brings pride in ownership.
I now have a much newer car (that I probably don't need since I don't need to drive to work and live in a city) and no garage so I pay for oil changes. On the college car I knew how everything fit together, I took everything apart to fix it multiple times, I changed/ upgraded/ retrofitted things in their to make it more enjoyable. On my new car I can't really do those things without more complicated tech. It definitely changes how you view the object. Both are fun "tools" but one was my fun tool the other isn't
I know nintendo probably won't be developing anything in house for this since it seems like they're giving out their ip, but if they made an mmo android/iphone pokemon game i would shut up and let them take my money.
