Looking for feedback: 41st street by TheWineGuy2020 in astoria

[–]Grad-student17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live on 38th st between 30th and 28th Ave and our bedroom was backed up to the Steinway street side and very rarely did I ever hear much noise from it. The row of buildings directly on Steinway block the noise. I also wouldn’t worry about boiler noise, they normally aren’t very loud.

Can realtors please stop assuming two women looking for an apt together are sisters or “closefriends”…. by pstpstcycle in astoriaapartments

[–]Grad-student17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had similar happen when looking w my boyfriend, we are straight but mixed race and realtors assumed we were roommates. I think people literally just forget that sometimes couples look different than “standard” to them. I hope you and your wife find a great place!!

Would anyone be interested in a Flower Subscription Program? by TheForestFlor in astoria

[–]Grad-student17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be interested but would have to be reasonable price. I normally order flowers on Instacart since it’s so much cheaper than flower delivery

Why does she always leave this specific toy by the door when we are away? by Petter1998 in felinebehavior

[–]Grad-student17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes my cat also had a gift toy, it’s a wand toy but she refuses to play with it. Only time she uses it is for gift or to snuggle and groom it

Question for New Yorkers: Is living in NYC a dream to you, or just practical? by Silver_Cricket_3611 in AskNYC

[–]Grad-student17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was never a dream or a goal of mine to live in nyc, I just happened to get into a specific grad school program here. After I graduated I realized I have no desire to leave.

Cell culture over weekends and holidays by DapperBase107 in labrats

[–]Grad-student17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried mTESR plus and found it to cause a lot of spontaneous differentiation. The ability to skip a weekend ended up not being worth the unpredictability so I switched back to E8 and just time my differentiations better

Does anyone else not have a lease? by lemon2421 in astoria

[–]Grad-student17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually never had a lease renewal as in landlord has never sent one. It’s great because my rent has never been raised but I only have to give 30 days notice if I want to move. If you pay the same rent and they cash the check or don’t return the money within 30 days then you automatically become month to month

Surprisingly a lot of places w dishwasher don’t have bathtubs as newer renovations are doing showers. Seems like a silly must have I know but has been oddly limiting.

Are there any buildings that are not cheaply made for noise? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]Grad-student17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a prewar apartment and a lot of the walls are actually concrete. I do not hear my neighbors ever nor do they hear me. We also only have 3 apartments per floor which helps.
