NYC...Update....Brooklyn..on way up to 57 storey. .taller than high rises in the background. They just keep adding on floors...no steel framework. Never thought about toilet facilities for workers on the upper floors until I saw this potable toilet being taken up by the crane! As the building goes up higher.... the height of the crane support (in yellow) also has to increase by adding more sections.... can you figure out in your mind how that is possible?...to add another piece while the crane is still up there? ...just a brain teaser. 1 Like

NYC...went into this large supermarket...Fairway... stocks quality stuff and a lot of organic/naturally grown products as well as foreign products that are not usually carried by other supermarkets. I popped in for bananas..organic bananas. ..got them ..but discovered they had mangoes from Haiti.. (Francis mangoes....world's sweetest!...and most expensive!)...2/$5..big Grade A ones...that was a steal!..other places..like $3.50 sach minimum!..I loaded up! On the fruit name and source sticker...if it carries a number (3621)..the fruit is organic..if not. ..it's GMO. Lots of Europeans shop here...they don't really know when a mango is ripe...the business wants them to buy..so what they do?..label them..ready to eat! ..and my bananas...I don't know about being world class! 1 Like

NYC....supermarket adventure...while there I decided to check for beef...Angus beef.. that's o Rd ganic beef in the sense that the cows were raised naturally...eating grass and the usual stuff they choose to eat! ...so I ventured into their meat section...a large cold area. Organic meat is not easy to find...and mad expensive. This ehmm...slice...just over half kg...like US$20....(you do the conversion) yep...the meat that attract flies that we turn up our noses at!...hmmm.....if these cows we have roaming can only be ehmmm....let me shut up. 1 Like

What's the difference between organic and inorganic meat and please tell me more about this GMO in food. Originalsly: 1 Like |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by Originalsly: 12:53pm On May 13, 2018 |
Dremca:Foods now labeled organic...are foods that are grown/grown naturally.GMO products have been genetically modified/tampered with.... to produce a certain outcome. Let's say chicken... a baby chick will not naturally grow to a full matured hen in 21 days. .... but when fed with products that will increase its natural growth rate..it will...that's a GMO chicken because it's natural growth has been tampered with. It can be made to grow muscle much faster...it can be made to produce 10 eggs a day instead of just one...and the same goes to fruits...grow fast...a certain size... tough skin for longer shelf life... etc. Such produce are no longer natural...and for that reason they do not attract flies when ripe nor in the case of meat..when spoilt. GMO fruits usually never become over ripe...they are 'good'..then begin to spoil/break down from the core....'leak water' and eventually become a pool of slush. The US is very good at producing GMO products..... while Europe has a ban on such..now wonder why. 2 Likes |

Thanks for the explanation. What could be the health implications of these GMO products to the consumers. Originalsly: |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by Originalsly: 2:02pm On May 13, 2018 |
Dremca: Not an expert....but I think it is a main cause of many forms of cancer and other ailments that are soo widespread in the US and not in Europe and other places where GMO products are not available. Just like the chickens on fast track maturation... kids be doing the same..maturing faster...girls 8..already pushing up breasts and people who keep track report they are doing so at a younger and younger age. An average 25 year old African period...would be asked to show ID because one would think they may be under 16 ...definitely under 21. Just my take. 2 Likes |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by Dremca(m): 2:08pm On May 13, 2018 |
Lol. That will organic to be more expensive than GMO. Yankee girl over mature, a 16years old girl having 26years assets, that must human GMO assets. Originalsly: |

Hey Originalsly, Have you got any information on Long Island to share with the house...probably on security? Electroweb |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by Originalsly: 7:06pm On May 23, 2018 |
Electroweb: Long Island is really a longgg island...part of NYC...Brooklyn and Queens..are on the lower part of the island. The rest of the island is divided into Counties/towns...Suffolk, Hemstead,...several more...none part of NYC....all suburbs...residential...and take on the general name Long Island. These communities were established and marketed as safe communities.... code name for no minorities....especially Blacks and Latinos...were pretty much all White communities...'safe'. Whites who could afford to buy in and didn't want to raise their kids with Blacks moved out there....white picket fences..the American Dream. That reputation is very much alive today...if you live in Long Island..then you are successful...living the American dream...so with pride..especially Blacks..would loudly tell you they live in Long Island! The cost of living there ..taxes and commute costs...have made it difficult for regular families to live there...Whites are moving out...selling out to mainly minorities who are leaving the city to live there...while Whites are pouring back into the city...into Black neighbour hoods...such as Harlem! Safety....anywhere on Long Island...or New York City...would be very very safe compared to the safest part of Lagos. Safety is not something that bothers people here period. Most pictures in this thread were taken in the hood...the 'baddest' part of the city...but yet you can see people walking about with their iPhone 15?...halfway stuck in their back pockets. Follow the media....and you fear these communities...you fear Blacks..you fear Latinos! I'm done! |
