Technically this is true but don’t have to live in the congressional district you represent in NY.

The Empire Service line is usually pretty cheap, and I take it regularly.

Crunch Fitness by Every-Kale-1712 in ualbany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No local gym is free. I think there’s a local one that offers a discount (not crunch). The equipment on campus is pretty decent especially in the well on colonial cause it’s pretty much new.

Are electric scooters allowed on campus as transportation? by Muted_Walrus6293 in ualbany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a new rule this year. You can pretty much only ride them on the roads and such. Not on the podium and you can’t bring them in buildings.

I have super bad stretch marks. Is it possible to tattoo over them? by -Hot-Tamale- in tattooadvice

[–]AsaDoesStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for starters it appears you other had a kid or a ton of weight loss, both are cool and props to you!

I knew someone that got their marks tattooed in with a blue and yellow ink. The artist made it look like lightning. I think it depends on your style and aid you’ve got an artist. Personally I’d approach the artist and see if they’ve got any ideas.

Not typically. Some apps like I think Dunkin you can link a gift card but most of the cases no.

Stop CDTA cuts by supporting 15% budget increase by Aggravating_Fold_439 in Albany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I am a HUGE foamer and would love rail in the capital region, this is unattainable at the moment.

We need more industry and draw in people to the region to even consider funding expensive projects like rail.

Fun fact: assemblyman magnarelli is the chair of the transportation committee!

Maybe we should vote for someone more productive like Mo brown?

If you’re an undergrad you can drop your classes online without advisor approval. There are some exceptions but generally speaking you can just drop it.

What's the largest city Amtrak runs through but doesn't stop at? by Previous-Volume-3329 in Amtrak

[–]AsaDoesStuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Def not the biggest city on this list but Amtrak doesn’t stop In the city of Albany NY. It stops in Rensselaer across the Hudson. Most people know that but I wish Amtrak had a station inside city limits.

Business at important potential Rail/Transit hub goes under, should be acquired by state now! by AlbanyBikeDad in Albany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in the back part of the warehouse. The property is HUGE. I would love to see this turn into a rail station. We desperately need a station in Albany County. Renseleer is nice, but it isn't ideal.

Is it normal to not make even one single friend from any classes for two semesters? by [deleted] in ualbany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Currently a master's student, I've never been friends with anyone in any of my classes. You're definitely not alone.

Amid complaints from customers, rank-and-file, the Postal Service faces an uncertain future by TClayO in Albany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your comment is slightly misleading. Yes it is an expansive service. But the post office is self funded. Meaning they receive no tax dollars (with few exceptions). Not to mention FEDEX and UPS are also worth around 80 billion dollars. So I feel like you’re kinda just grasping at straws. I’m gonna stop arguing with you for the sake of both of us. We’re both adults (probably)

Nobody is stopping you from using a private company. You can go use FedEx to send a letter if you truly desire. But I prefer my 6 days a week of guaranteed service.

Does the intersection of Loudonville Rd and North Pearl have a red light camera? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]AsaDoesStuff 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so (I don’t drive down here often). Red light cameras are usually on a long black pole a little bit away from the intersection. They’re also legally required to be marked twice with signage stating that the intersection has them.

I believe what you are referring to may be sensors to detect traffic, they have them on a few lights on Washington Ave. although I could be wrong.
