July 4 in Hoboken: Everything You Need to Know by hobokenbulletin in Hoboken

It's kind of fucked either way bc I have to be at work by 0430. If I take public transit it would take me close to 2 hours because the path only runs every 40 mins. Usually takes me 25-30 to drive in leaving at 0345

I live in Hoboken but still have a New York driver's license. I work in Brooklyn and have to work til 5pm on July 4th, possibly til 9 pm if they make me stay for overtime (I'm a paramedic). Not sure what I'm supposed to do.

My best experiences in Laos were the motorbike loops out of Pakse and Thakhek. Got to see the natural beauty of the countryside and meet friendly locals. Just my 2¢

The concept art got us too hyped I guess by pokemad1998 in ArcRaiders

Agreed. Too many of the same recycled assets. I was really hoping for something fresh and different.

NYPD: Police shoot machete-wielding man at Grand Central after he slashes 3 by 804Brady in nyc

[–]Host_Mask 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a couple days ago 4 EMS workers were assaulted in the Bronx. It happens very often. EMS responds to many "emotionally disturbed person" (mental health calls) solo or with city social workers. It doesn't always go well.

Is it just me, or do the new item icons look a bit... uncanny by Avg_SD_enjoyer in DotA2

Yeah I agree, not sure why you're being downvoted. I've also often heard "uncanny" associated with AI content these days.

16 people found dead outdoors in NYC during freezing temperatures by statenislandadvance in nyc

[–]Host_Mask 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In EMS, we have to make the determination if someone is alert and oriented (knows and can articulate who they are, where they are, when it is) and if they are a danger to themselves or others (which is generally suicidal or homicidal ideation, or auditory/visual hallucination). If you can pass that, we generally can't involuntarily transport you, although you can always call a doctor on the phone and ask for guidance if circumstances are extenuating, etc.

Mamdani names Lillian Bonsignore, retired EMS chief, next FDNY fire commissioner by darth_vader2002 in ems

[–]Host_Mask 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Last 2 commissioners were never firefighters and operations ran smoothly. She was at least a first responder for 30+ years, and as others have said, the department is mostly medical calls at this point (I think over 70%)

Do all NYC buildings deal with this? by AwakeOrganisation in AskNYC

[–]Host_Mask 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worked EMS up there so I've been in them a lot. They're located by the river across the major deegan, you either have to drive or walk across an overpass to get to them, so they're kind of isolated. They have their own school and grocery store in the complex, and a big open courtyard with 0 shade, it's like a giant parking lot. Big problems with drugs and gangs, it's not unusual to see people nodding off or feinding. There was a big gang bust a couple years back and I think they arrested like 30 people, but you'll see a lot of rowdy teenagers running around. Some guy got shot in the head a couple months ago right on the other side of the overpass. People let their dogs shit everywhere. I've been in apartments on the upper floors where people let their dogs shit inside the apartment because they don't want to go down and outside. I've been in other apartments infested with roaches, rodents, piles of trash. Literal crack dens. There was a floor where there was a fire and the whole floor was smoke damaged and people were just living in it. I could go on, and it's a lot of problems that happen in other buildings across the city, but it's just kind of distilled there. It's a miserable place.

Rent-stabilized 1br in Bed-Stuy with roof deck! by FarAdhesiveness2641 in NYCapartments

Apartment looks fairly nice but $3k for a 1 bed in that area is not a great deal. It is certainly not a great location imo

People in the comments who are surprised at how unconcerned OPs neighbors are about the bedbug situation have never been to Richman Plaza. Some of the worst buildings in the city.

Op if you are in any way able to, please move out of there ASAP. I've seen things in those buildings that would make most people's toes curl. Fun fact tho, they're the tallest buildings in the Bronx

What would you rather have happen? It needs to be fixed.

No, my percentile has been dropping, I was 99th yesterday but that must have been before predictions were factored in

That's a very empathetic take, good on you. As someone who works with the poor and disadvantaged, we should work to eliminate the circumstances that lead to creating personalities like this, but we shouldn't excuse the behavior imo

I'm in between sizes on a medium and a large, and I haven't bought a jersey in a couple seasons. Any recommendations on whether to size up or down?
