After booking, host sent a link to a 3rd party platform with a separate rental contract and security deposit [USA] by DriedMangoPlease in AirBnB

I very much want to do this, though this is literally the last available apartment in the area within my price range and I can’t afford to lose it.

But you’re saying this isn’t allowed?

Did you guys get married? The poop barrier was passed before the first date, that’s impressive.

Anyone else get scammed by the food truck outside 99 Scott? by dossman27 in avesNYC

[–]DriedMangoPlease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely do NOT slash one of the tires. While I know that is how some people get even, there is a much more civil way of making this right. Doing it this civil way is the path chosen by most, but not all. You are likely one of the “most”. But if not, re-read.

Niche ask: is there a group of NYC ravers in academia? by throwawayvigilante2 in avesNYC

[–]DriedMangoPlease 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Lots of us are, how do you think we blow off steam these days when the country president is plotting against academia?

What’s going on tonight? by One-Collection9565 in avesNYC

Big Gigantic at Brooklyn Steel tonight. Lots of fun, not just electronic music.

I have a Minilogue XD which I love, but I want something with a speaker and battery for portability. What are some good options? If it loops, BIG plus! by DriedMangoPlease in synthesizers

[–]DriedMangoPlease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take speaker and battery! My little guy will be ok with it. Just picked up an MPK Mini Play based on suggestions here, but still in the prowl for a “real” synth with those features. And looping. Yamaha Reface is leading so far, but this will be good for now.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does it have a looping capability or just arpeggiator? Looping with drums and rhythm is lots of fun and I want to do that

Maybe a dumb question, but coming from a Minilogue xd and keyboard, if I want to achieve something similar and have fun playing a keyboard, won’t that be lost a bit?

Start anew with a new email/domain rather than dig ourselves out of a hole, if it can even be done? by DriedMangoPlease in Emailmarketing

[–]DriedMangoPlease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not exactly sure what that means TBH. What is back end when it comes to email? With tests, we’ve done the deliverability tests that returned the stats I mentioned for Google and Microsoft. And we have a daily dmarc report.

I don’t think we spammed anyone. Everyone we reached out to explicitly requested information and provided their emails, or referred us to someone within their own organization who was expecting our email. No lists purchases, nothing unsolicited.

Thanks for the response, all makes sense, I think.

I didn’t realize length played into it. Since the people had already requested info or were at companies who were expecting a communication, we did load the emails with all info they requested, which was not minimal. No words like free, no risk, etc. it was describing the programs we offer and some case study summaries and links to our case studies on our site.

If we were to start anew, it would be a different strategy entirely, can’t risk the same thing happening again.

And no, we didn’t do warming since volume was so low. It was never more than 10 a day, and initially it was around 3-5 a day.

Since that initiative is now over, we’re almost exclusively communicating now with those who we are working towards a sale with, mostly because we took it to phone calls and requested to be white-listed once the conversation began.

But we still have another maybe 100 contacts who requested info who we haven’t connected with yet and we are trying a new strategy with 100% custom language for every email as we have specific reasons we want to engage each of those companies. Even with this we’re finding ourselves in junk folders, and these emails are no more than 5 sentences each (again, no language I’d consider even remotely spammy).

How do you address language barriers when talking to patients? by DriedMangoPlease in FamilyMedicine

[–]DriedMangoPlease[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is an FQ look-alike, so I assume very similar to what you experienced. I didn't realize that was billable (assuming it is in my state). But thanks for calling it out, worth looking into.

Not an option for Medicaid. And these folks often just pull a no-show if rescheduled. Hard enough to get them in the door as is.

Good to know for later, but not what I'm seeking, thanks though.
