Im a bit confused as I have read some conflicting things online. I live in an apartment in a pre-war building. I do not have a 3 pronged outlet in my bedroom, and I would like to have one so I can use an air conditioner.

Assuming that the existing outlets in my bedroom are ungrounded, is there any safe solution to converting it to a three prong without opening walls/rewiring the apartment? I’ve read that those 2prong-to-3prong adapters are unsafe. However, I’ve read that you can buy a GFCI outlet (they are under $10), and you do not need to ground the outlet box. But some articles state that you actually do have to ground the outlet box with a GCFI outlet.

I’m just wondering if someone co

I think finding boots that are appropriate for the office, and the bar, is a daunting task.

What are everyone's thoughts on the growing trend of "dress boots"? Do you all have any recommendations?

Personally, I would only consider boots to be somewhat formal if they have blind eyelets.

A perfect example that comes to mind is:

I figured there might be some experts on this subreddit and would appreciate the help. I live in a high rise apartment building built in the 20s. It is a single pipe radiator system, I want to become educated on these systems before talking with my apartment management company on how to fix the following issues:

  1. When I tighten the control valve completely, the radiator still heats up. I'm not sure this is normal for large buildings with large systems, but there appears to be no way to turn it off completely. The reason I want to turn it off completely is...

  2. The air vent on the other side of the radiator is driving me crazy! It makes the following noises:

I can’t tell if this is a sad or happy song. From all the interpretations I have read, it appears that the song is about a breakup, the singer is conflicted between convincing his lover that they should stay together, while also trying to convince himself that maybe he is better off without her anyway (“I got the green light, I got a little fight, I’m gonna turn this thing around”).

However, during the bridge, he says:

Slipping in my faith until I fall

You never returned that call

Woman, open the door, don’t let it sting

I wanna breathe that fire again

It appears that he is breaking down, begging her not to leave him. But then, things seem to turn around:

My firm focuses on major markets and prices are insane right now. Some of the prices these brokers tell me along with $250k-$1mm hard money day 1 are baffling to say the least.

Who is buying vintage product at sub 5 caps in second tier markets? My only thought is long term holders who can tolerate lower returns, mostly family offices?

Anyone else seeing similar trends?
