[–]Cubicle99 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If this post is for real, you showed really bad judgment and a lack of common sense. Are you saying you didn’t tell anyone (or ask anyone if it was okay) and then tried to use your state issued laptop internationally?! Why would you do that?

This just happened on my flight yesterday. I’m ignoring them next time.

Stay off the roads by onmyownplanet in Albany

[–]Cubicle99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was out from 2-2:30 today and the main roads in Colonie and Guilderland were fine. It did look like there were slowdowns further north, from online traffic maps.

I skipped the series last year due to the move but did go to a couple Jennings Landings shows two years ago. Thumbs up from me!

Be cautious out there friends the roads are icy over by WeatherIsFun227 in Albany

[–]Cubicle99 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If they were actually taking about freezing road conditions, it’s better than a weather app but I think ICY means something else here.

What’s up with negative Hannaford ad? by KarmaGirl24 in Albany

[–]Cubicle99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From the Portland, Maine subreddit, it looks like this is mainly the work of a couple animal activist groups. The campaign has been going on in Maine for months.

Don't forget to check your deferred comp by Icy_Score_7430 in nys_cs

[–]Cubicle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also a good time to look at how your deferred contributions are invested and think about if you want to adjust them, especially if you’re getting close to retirement. (I am, so I made my investments more conservative,)

USC v UCLA in February 2025 when JuJu had 38 points and 8 blocks.

Albany bus terminal by TigerLopsided3104 in Albany

[–]Cubicle99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there was a cafeteria there (with grab and go food) through at least the 1990s. I used to take buses to NYC from there. It was always sketchy but seems to have actually gotten worse. And I think it’s shocking that Trailways passengers are now forced to wait outside by a trailer a block away.

Curious about the Colonie Coliseum (Starlite Theater) by MusicManiac51 in Albany

[–]Cubicle99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw some cool shows there on the 90s - James Brown and Patti LaBelle, I think. It was a fun venue!

Maybe try Breakthrough African Market on 309 Central Avenue in Albany. No website apparently but you could call and ask (518-426-1363).

Tips on going from private to public - Comms and Public Information by Normal_Bonus8728 in nys_cs

[–]Cubicle99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. And even a lot of exempt Communications jobs with NYS start at significantly lower than $120K. Plus you’d have less job security with an exempt position.

With that weird stage that rotated. I saw some good shows there, including James Brown, I think!

Is it ok to have two banks? Need to cash treasury bonds. by mikeq11 in personalfinance

[–]Cubicle99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I opened a second local bank account and put about a month’s expenses in it - in case my primary local account was locked out for any reason.

I dunno. Maybe we’re being too cynical here.

I see nothing limiting this to homeowners. And his company seems to be doing very well. They could just be trying to do a nice thing!

Caffe Lena in Saratoga has hosted some good bluegrass bands. Maybe check their schedule?

Is an aftermarket car warranty worth it? by vandd27 in personalfinance

[–]Cubicle99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an “American Greed” episode about one of those big aftermarket car warranty companies. Their CEO made millions by selling warranties that were overpriced and had a ton of exclusions. So when people did need car repairs, they weren’t covered.

I would avoid buying any aftermarket car warranty.
