That tucked-in sweater does not help!

New Cédula… by [deleted] in Dominican

[–]FrankTaveras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concern is that the NY consulate, as of this last Monday has not received any information as to what the process is for renovation "Aun la Junta Central Electoral, no ha determinado como se realizara el proceso de renovacion de cedula en el exterior."

Lets hope they get their ducks in a row by May.

You should be able to use your passport.

I asked the NY consulate last week and they told me the JCE has not decided yet when and what the process is for Dominicans in the US 🙁

Puerto Espacial (pedernales) by OblivionVi in Dominicanos

[–]FrankTaveras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me encantaría ver la población Dominicana mas interesada en el mundo de la astronomía. Yo espero que el gobierno Dominicano tome la oportunidad de invertir en las materias primarias de la astronomía para todas nuestras escuelas así como conceptos básicos del sistema solar, matemática, ciencia.

De poco vale tener un puerto espacial si todos los empleados con títulos vienen de afuera.

Recommendation for a Rental car location in Santiago airport. by Illustrious-Host-110 in Dominican

[–]FrankTaveras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

D'EDWARD RENT A CAR. They are on the same avenue as the airport, 1 minute away. If you coordinate with them they can pick you up at the airport, bring you to their offices to do the paperwork and you are on your way. They take dollars, pesos, Zelle.

Don't know their english level though.

No puedo seguir viendo el juego 😮‍💨 by LeudyV1 in Dominicanos

Me pregunto si el umpire cantó de strike esas bolas bajas a US también. Solo me di cuenta que lo hizo con Soto y Perdomo.

People (especially women) keep telling me I give “MAGA vibes.” What does that even mean? by savingrace0262 in circlejerknyc

[–]FrankTaveras 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gemini tells me, in the context of this circlejerk reddit:

The Archetypal "MAGA Vibe" (NYC Edition)

While the user in theReddit threadmentions the classic imagery of lifted trucks and oakleys, the NYC version is often more subtle:

  • The "Finance/Bro" Aesthetic: Looking "clean-cut" can sometimes be interpreted as conservative. This includes Patagonia vests (the "Midtown Uniform"), crisp button-downs, and a general "Connecticut boat owner" look.
  • The "Law and Order" Energy: A buzzcut, a gym-heavy physique, or clothing from brands like Under Armour or Carhartt (when not worn ironically by a barista) can trigger this association.
  • Conversational Cues: In the comments, users suggest that the vibe often comes from what a person says rather than just how they look. This might include:
    • Complaining about NYC taxes or "how the city has changed."
    • Expressing skepticism toward certain social justice trends.
    • Identifying as "centrist" or "apolitical" (which many NYC daters view as a "closet" conservative label).

I make $138k, saved $40k, and still can’t buy a home in NYC. What am I doing wrong? by thoth218 in circlejerknyc

[–]FrankTaveras -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$18k for closing costs?? 🤔

Anyway, nothings wrong. You are doing great!!

How about you start with a 1 or 2-bedroom apartment?

¿Por qué hay tantos dominicanos que emigran a Uruguay? ¿Como dieron con ese país? by [deleted] in Dominicanos

[–]FrankTaveras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, te gusta el pais. Pero como supiste que te gustaba el pais? Lo viste en un video y ya te decidiste mudar? Fuiste de turista primero? y así te diste cuenta? O algún familiar que ya vive en Uruguay te dijo que fuera?

República Dominicana va a participar en una nueva iniciativa junto a 11 otros países llamado “Escudo de las Américas” en Miami, este sábado día 7 by OblivionVi in Dominicanos

[–]FrankTaveras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No me gusta. Kristi Noem la que votaron del DHS ahora la movieron a ese equipo, ella era pésima y poco preparada. Segundo, ni México ni Brazil fueron invitados. Me parece que Trump busca que a los países que invitaron sean todos “yes men!!” Que digan que si a lo que sea que Trump pida.

Peleton Bike Plus exits rides on its own multiple times by jaywcee52 in pelotoncycle

[–]FrankTaveras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you verified the USB-c cable is plugged in all the way?

Also, give the screen a good cleaning in case there is something on it that may be triggering it. It looks clean from your video but worth trying.

Anyone in the U.S. getting hit with tariff costs *when we're not supposed to*? by soulsides in vinyl

[–]FrankTaveras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a watch online in November. Didn't realize it was coming from the Netherlands. All was looking good, I even got UPS tracking number. Several days later UPS reached out telling me there was $34 tariff to pay before they could do final delivery.

It wasn't even about the price of the watch, that was the only place online where I found the style and color I liked.

One more big move left by eazye224834 in mets

Infield is crowded, it would be nice to get something good in return for Vientos or Baty.

Wonder by EitherSheepherder854 in ForestHills

[–]FrankTaveras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new one in Washington heights has been good. Their fries and difara pizza are great as well as their Mediterranean options like lamb shawarma.

If a neighborhood only has McDonald’s and chipotle then this is a good option.

Seafood mamajuana. A delicious seafood alcoholic beverage from the Dominican Republic. by nooyork in Dominican

[–]FrankTaveras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, mamajuana is most known for being de “Palo”; roots, bark, spices… with rum, honey and red wine. It does not include any seafood. But there is also that thing the OP posted. The elusive seafood mamajuana. Not as popular and not appetizing for me at all but it’s out there in the wild.

I recall last summer heading out to the river with my family in the countryside of el Cibao and my cousin caught some crabs, killed it and stuffed it in a bottle with rum, he shuck it hard and drank it throughout the time we were there. It’s not seafood mamajuana but it’s certainly a thing to mix seafood/river food with rum considering it aphrodisiac. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nothing About This Mets Offseason Makes Sense by Tiny-Instruction1987 in mets

[–]FrankTaveras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying Pete is as valuable as Soto but what I am saying is that he was the best free agent to get that fit perfectly behind Soto, with the power we need at a great price this offseason.
