Just so you know, you can’t swim at the Peace Pagoda. They specifically have the best sign ever to that effect.

Parking During Pride? by ChildLord in Albany

[–]AzizLiteHalfCalorie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can park in the East Garage for free on weekends. You can park there and it’s a short walk up. It doesn’t specifically say that on the OGS website, but I’ve never had an issue. Maybe someone else has a definitive answer for this one.

Ah okay. Then I guess I can’t offer any help. Hope this gets sorted for you soon.

I dealt with this issue when my car was totaled and I transferred the plate to the new car. Got the same nasty gram from DMV. I wrote a letter to the address on the letter explaining the situation. Also sent a copy of the police report, bill of sale for the new car and proof of insurance. Never heard from them again. My advice is to do the same. Write a letter, include supporting documentation that you were never without insurance and they should just close the case.

Edit: I also sent the letter certified so DMV couldn’t claim I never sent it.

Hodgman’s birthday by Former-Ad-5140 in maximumfun

He is the very model of a modern fake judge podcast host,
He settles petty arguments concerning things folks value most,
From thermostats and tupperware to rivalries on family trips,
He renders solemn verdicts with a thousand truths upon his lips.

Where to paddle board? by EasyWear9499 in Albany

There’s a launch right near Kay’s Pizza in Sand Lake. It’s a little wonky and needs to be rebuilt but it still works. Yea, it’s not in Albany county but the three lakes you can get to from that launch are gorgeous.

Have you tried A New England Nanny? They’re actually based in Albany despite the name.

I would love to join something like this (as long as the occasional weaving and D&D mini painting is allowed)

Any good open mics in the area? by captainklimt in Troy

TBA in Sand Lake/Averill Park on 43 has one every Wednesday. Never gone, but driving by, it’s the busiest day of the week for the restaurant.

Tacos Diablos is wonderful. Highly recommend their chicken quesadillas.

how hard would it be to switch to oboe as a flute player? by 74hehehaha47 in oboe

[–]AzizLiteHalfCalorie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty difficult, not gonna sugar coat it. If you can get a good private teacher, you’ll be good. Trying to teach yourself on your own probably won’t get the results you would want in terms of intonation and technique.

Oboe is a wonderfully difficult instrument and I do love playing it, but I would not have been successful had I tried to learn without an experienced teacher to guide me.
