Central Park West. Probably as beautiful as NYC gets. You can almost see the Ghost Busters building, I think. I used to live right next to it. Ah, memories.
I used to love visiting NYC, and Central Park was definitely one of my favorite places. I was always amazed at how different it felt just crossing into the park - from super busy and tense to unbelievably relaxed.
The cloisters are the same way, except you also feel like you stepped back in time.

Central Park is always the first thing I mention to tourists looking for the "sights" in the city.
It beats all the others by a mile.
One of those places that looks great in every season.
And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.

One nit - Apple shipped machines with VGA for a long time, they just didn't use the de-facto standard connector. They used that goofball DB15 instead of the DE15, which required an adapter, but was electrically compatible.
I'm assuming Apple will ditch that (headphone jack) with their next mobile release. However Motorola beat them to the punch with their modular Moto Z handsets.
Its easy to know what you are against, quite an honour to know what you are for.

Out of curiosity, what is the point of using youtu.be links instead of just linking directly to youtube? I only ask because the first is blocked at my office, while youtube itself isn't, yet everyone seems to use it.

I guess it's an automated thing when getting the url in a phone browser.

Vegan forces diet on dog, gets chastised:

As one reply to this image puts it:

As one reply to this image puts it:
Dogs and cats cannot be vegan or vegetarian. If you want a pet that can, get a stick fiddling gerbil.

Corn and bone meal with powdered offal, basically.
Dogs are, like people, omnivorous enough that a well-balanced vegetarian works for them.
Vegan would be a lot harder and probably not work well.
Cats are obligate carnivores. Meat is tasty, tasty murder.

I'm pretty sure gun-metal has the same cultural significance. And....Everybody knows what Hello Kitty is.
Remember, people, to forgive is divine. In other words, it ain't human.
