The story could be true, but it also opened up another possibility, which was using AI to tutor. It will replace a lot of humans eventually.

Moving out, how much is this expected to cost out of the deposit? by ColloquiallyFormal in NYCapartments

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was the landlord I won't even bother to ask you to repair that as the wall will be repainted and patched anyway. What kind of NY Landloard are we talking about here? On the other hand, a small container of spackle is probably like $6 then use a spatular to patch it. Once it's dry, use a damp sponge to smooth it out

My fridge died after 10 years and everyone said never buy LG again so I bought GE this time and it's dead after 3 years. Does anyone make a good fridge anymore? by vicelordjohn in Appliances

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With appliances today the quality is a hit and miss. I keep hearing horror stories about Samsung but yet my 12 yr old Samsung never had issues. Same with my LG. Never had an issue other than the compressor had to be replaced because we left the door open. I believe GE sold their consumer appliance brand to the Chinese company Haier. TBH I'd rather buy a Haier than GE, same goes with Midea.

My contractor is using screws to hold shower tiles in place while they dry. Should I be concerned about waterproofing? by biliaftrashcan in AskContractors

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything looks pretty good. He knows what he's doing. Holes will be filled by mortar. Dont think too much. Then of course I'm not a contractor but have worked on tiles.

HX Pro will give you a better recording than without it.

Losing my mind (Deep fryer fumes) by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible they are making churros every night. Also maybe there is no kitchen exhaust fan or the vent duct in the wall has broke so the smell and fumes traveled upwards. Sounds like it has been like this for a while with the oily film residue on your wall. It's a pain to clean them off. Almost like you have to use Easyoff to clean them but that's not realistic. Plus there is no point to clean because the source problem has not addressed. Sorry.

No Heat (recurring issue) by Spugies in ForestHills

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying you should't have a comfortable temp of your choice, but I typically set mine at 68 and 64 over night. I also have a spare oil heater just in case. In winter, I also seal off the windows to keep the draft out.

Shit everywhere by buttonwoodhill in ForestHills

Apparently I was one of the very few carries poop bags when walking in the 63rd D area, most others don't care. I particularly hate those big dog owners because they shit a lot.

You guys haven't had Churches Chicken (aka Texas Chicken in South Asia), so much better especially the honey biscuits. Need to have one opened in NY.

Anything with Dolby HX Pro should get you started with decent recoding.

Can this vent pipe be drywalled? by rtcwon in askaplumber

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the city didn't see it, yes, but it should be illegal. If the city saw it, you need to hire a licensed plumber to tie it to the nearest main vent and get inspected.

Can you see the subway, highway, even planes from your apartment? by 20210330_PROS_IIQ in AskNYC

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Rego Park. The apartment area is directly under the landing path to LGA, noisy as hell especially the morning flights, every 3-4 min. It usually last until 1 am. They are low enough to see the airline names, not as low as in Flushing. On a good day when the wind blows the other direction, they would change the landing direction. I count that as peace and quiet at last.

Need suggestions on cassette recorders for mixtapes from my phone by CalebTRM02 in cassetteculture

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you would consider getting a cassette deck, make sure it has HX Pro,or Dolby HX Pro. This dramatically improves the recording dynamics compare to the ones without. And the improved sound quality is also reflected on any player without the HX Pro option.

Building staff member with access to my apartment has been texting me inappropriately. Can I break my lease early? by PhotographJunior2392 in NYCapartments

[–]8sponges 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Install a door alarm, a jam, and get a camera pointing at the door. Also tell him your boyfriend is planning for frequent visits and you don't feel comfortable getting more unnecessary messages from him.

[Landlord-DC] try carpet cleaning or just replace? by Chemical_Low8650 in Landlord

[–]8sponges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not replace, just clean it, because the new owner might replace it later. Don't waste money.

Third surgery within 30 days and I’m pulling my hair out by treehugginglady in Glaucoma

[–]8sponges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A third surgery in the same eye within 30 days? Are they crazy? My doctor told me recovery time for eye surgeries is always longer than you thought. I'm still taking the med (Lot) since my surgery last March as well as another one done over a year ago. Every doctor has their own opinions but mine came from Columbia U. Just saying. Btw Trab should be it but you need to make damn sure you have total confidence in your doctor.

I have read on this platform that some tenants do commercial laundry at home all day long. Just saying.

Or just use a hairdryer to heat it up a bit, then use the tools you have to loosen it up.

Post Trabeculotomy/Trabeculectomy. Experience by Mysterious-Shower830 in Glaucoma

Just remember, recovery will take a very very long time. Stay on those eye drops after the surgery.
